76 since these values are also stored as parameters in the corresponding
77 (de)calibration functions.
78 22-sep-2006 NvE IceDwalk extended for specification of maximum number of hits per OM,
79 to allow comparison with Sieglinde (which only uses the first OM hit).

81 which contains the values of all the used reconstruction parameters.
82 25-oct-2006 NvE Spread of Psi median included in track fit statistics of IceChi2
84 Processing parameters of IceCalibrate, IceXtalk, IceCleanHits, IceChi2
85 and IcePandel included as the corresponding devices in the event structure.

91 the beta value (v/c) of the reconstructed track.
92 16-nov-2006 NvE Class IceDwalk renamed to IceDwalkx to provide a Sieglinde-like direct
93 walk-II approach. The remaining class IceDwalk will provide a more
94 sophisticated approach with more physics driven selection criteria.

116 24-jun-2007 NvE Treatment of TWRDaq data introduced in IceCleanHits.
