11-dec-2002 NvE Copyright notice added into AliCollider.h and AliCollider.cxx.
Also small (integer division) modification made in AliCollider.cxx
to prevent an innocent warning of the g++ compiler under Linux.
+08-jan-2003 NvE Delete statements for fMatrix[i] and fPositions[i] added in the dtor of
+ AliCalorimeter to fix a memory leak.
+09-jan-2003 NvE Different modes introduced for AliCalorimeter::Reset() to prevent memory
+ leaks in reading back AliCalorimeter objects from a data file.
+ Also unnecessary "LoadMatrix()" statement removed in AliCalorimeter::Reset().
+ Irrelevant cout statement removed from AliEvent constructor.
+01-feb-2003 NvE Memberfunction Info() renamed to Data() in various classes in order to
+ prevent problems w.r.t. TObject::Info due to probable root/cint bug.
+03-feb-2003 NvE File "gcclib" added to subdirectory "scripts" to provide Ralice installation
+ script for Linux machines using gcc.
+ Class AliObjMatrix introduced.
+08-feb-2003 NvE Class AliSignal modified such that the maximum number of signal slots is
+ handled completely dynamically at runtime.
+ Memberfunctions SetSignal() and AddSignal() of class AliCalmodule declared
+ virtual to enable inheritance.
+09-feb-2003 NvE Class AliCalcluster derived from AliSignal to enable automatic signal setting
+ for various rings of modules around the cluster center.
+10-feb-2003 NvE Class AliSignal modified such that also signals without errors can be stored.
+ This may minimise memory occupation and output file size.
+18-feb-2003 NvE Memberfunction ShowCalorimeters() introduced in AliEvent to display an overview of all
+ available calorimeter systems.
+ Date/time format changed and ShowCalorimeters() invoked in AliEvent::HeaderData().
+08-mar-2003 NvE Compiler option /GR introduced for MSVC++ in mklibs.bat to explicitly enable
+ the C++ RTTI. This prevents a warning when creating shared libraries
+ using the "old streamer method" (i.e. NO "+" behind the class names
+ in the Linkdef file).
+10-mar-2003 NvE AliPosition datamembers of AliTrack changed into AliPositionObj* to enable
+ minimisation of memory occupation and output file size in case a track
+ has not all attributes set.
+13-mar-2003 NvE Memberfunction SetZero() introduced for Ali3Vector and Ali4Vector.
+20-mar-2003 NvE Statement #include "Riostream.h" moved from header file into implementation file
+ for all classes and MSVC compiler option /Za replaced by /Ze in order to prevent
+ ANSI compliant compiler problems.
+15-apr-2003 NvE Waveform histogram introduced in AliSignal.
+29-apr-2003 NvE Memberfunction MakeCopy introduced for AliSignal and AliCalmodule.
+ This memberfunction enables automatic creation of new objects of the
+ correct type depending on the argument type, a feature which may be very useful
+ for containers like AliCalorimeter when adding objects in case the
+ container owns the objects. This feature allows e.g. AliCalorimeter
+ to store either AliCalmodule objects or objects derived from AliCalmodule,
+ provided these derived classes also have a proper MakeCopy memberfunction.
+17-jun-2003 NvE All TString objects "s" replaced by "s.Data()" in cout statements to comply
+ with MSVC++7.NET compiler and allow mixing with MSVC++6 libraries.
+ The classes in which these modifications were made are Ali3Vector, Ali4Vector,
+ AliSignal and AliEvent.
+20-jun-2003 NvE Copy constructor introduced for nearly all classes and also all destructors
+ explicitly declared virtual.
+11-jul-2003 NvE Functionality of AliObjMatrix extended by enabling removal of objects and
+ introduction of a linear object array for fast looping over the stored objects.
+15-aug-2003 NvE Usage of TMCParticle removed from AliCollider; only Pythia intrinsic functionality
+ is used.
+01-sep-2003 NvE Explicit initialisation of TObject() introduced in default constructor of AliObjMatrix.
+16-sep-2003 NvE Parent track pointer introduced for AliTrack.
+ Functionality of AliSignal extended and support for gains and offsets introduced.
+ Gain datamember removed from AliCalmodule.
+17-sep-2003 NvE Memberfunction AddTrack with second argument "copy" of AliJet moved into the
+ "protected" area to avoid confusion among users.
+ The user has now only access to the AddTrack memberfunction with only the track
+ (pointer) as argument.
+23-sep-2003 NvE New classes AliAttrib and AliAttribObj introduced to centralise the handling of
+ name, gain, offset, edge and dead value attributes for a certain slot.
+ Classes AliSignal and AliCalmodule updated accordingly.
+28-sep-2003 NvE Facility for automatic gain etc... correction introduced in AliSignal::GetSignal().
+30-sep-2003 NvE New version of AliCalorimeter introduced, making use of AliObjMatrix and AliAttribObj
+ and supporting full treatment of module gains, offsets etc...
+ Also class AliCalcluster updated to take gain etc... correction into account.
+02-oct-2003 NvE Memberfunction Load() moved from Ali3VectorObj and Ali4VectorObj to Ali3Vector
+ and Ali4Vector respectively. This allows to use this memberfunction also in
+ all the derived classes (e.g. AliPosition, AliSignal, AliTrack, etc...).
+ Therefore the Load() memberfunction has been removed from AliPositionObj.
+03-oct-2003 NvE Typos fixed in AliCalorimeter.cxx.
+ Also memberfunction MakeCopy introduced in class AliCalorimeter.
+07-oct-2003 NvE Arguments of SetSignal and AddSignal memberfunctions of AliCalmodule corrected
+ to comply with the corresponding virtual functions of AliSignal.
+ AliCalorimeter modified accordingly.
+09-oct-2003 NvE Argument of all MakeCopy memberfunctions removed to obey the ANSI C++ rules for
+ virtual functions and to prepare for a common base class.
+ Due to the fact that not all compilers seem to accept the standard ANSI rule
+ that a virtual function is allowed to differ in return type from the corresponding
+ virtual function in the base class, the MakeCopy() memberfunctions have all been
+ given a return type of TObject*.
+ Also AliAttrib::Data renamed to AliAttrib::List to prevent violation of ANSI virtual
+ function rules and class AliSignal updated accordingly.
+ Memberfunction ResetPosition() moved from AliSignal to AliPosition.
+ Explicitly declared all memberfunctions virtual in the derived classes in case
+ the corresponding memberfunctions were also declared virtual in the base class.
+ Various memberfunctions which were declared virtual but were actually not meant
+ to be overridden declared as non-virtual in various low-level classes like
+ Ali3Vector, Ali4Vector, AliPosition etc...
+13-oct-2003 NvE Argument 'npt' of AliCollider::MakeEvent also made optional.
+24-oct-2003 NvE Private memberfunction Dump of AliTrack and AliVertex renamed to Dumps in order
+ not to override the Dump memberfunction of TObject.
+ Also definition of AliVertex::Draw slightly modified to comply with the standard
+ ANSI virtual function rules concerning TObject::Draw.
+ Invokation of ClassName() used in printout of AliSignal::Data to make the output
+ information more generic.
+25-oct-2003 NvE Memberfunction AddCalorimeter of AliEvent replaced by memberfunction AddDevice
+ to make the functionality more generic.
+ To comply with the enhanced flexibility of AliEvent::AddDevice the class
+ AliCalorimeter has been derived from TNamed and the MakeCopy() memberfunction
+ has been replaced by Clone() to override the default one of TNamed.
+ The specific GetName and SetName memberfunctions of AliCalorimeter have been removed.
+26-oct-2003 NvE Class AliSignal derived from TNamed and MakeCopy() memberfunction replaced by Clone()
+ like was done for AliCalorimeter.
+ The latter was also done for AliCalmodule and AliAttribObj.
+29-oct-2003 NvE Obsolete include of AliCalorimeter.h removed from AliEvent header file.
+11-nov-2003 NvE Double_t dum=GetScalar() replaced by e[0]=GetScalar() in Ali4Vector.cxx to prevent
+ a warning for the gcc compiler (thanks to Thomas Burgess).
+ AliJet derived from TNamed instead of TObject to allow identification via name.
+12-nov-2003 NvE fDaytime datamember of AliEvent changed from TDatime to TTimeStamp in order to
+ obtain nanosecond precision. Setting of date and time via a TDatime argument is
+ still supported to provide backward compatibility.
+13-nov-2003 NvE Invokation of AliAttrib memberfunction Data() replaced by List() in the example
+ in AliAttrib.cxx (was just a typo; thanks Adam Bouchta).
+ Also test on pointer value introduced in AliAttrib::GetSlotIndex to prevent
+ crash when first slot is empty (thanks to Adam Bouchta).
+21-nov-2003 NvE Variable names of type "const" started with the character "k" in various
+ memberfunctions of AliMath in order to comply with the strict Alice
+ coding conventions.
+22-nov-2003 NvE Support for various computation modes introduced in AliMath::Prob.
+23-nov-2003 NvE New memberfunctions GetBetaVector(), GetBeta() and GetGamma() introduced in Ali4Vector.
+03-dec-2003 NvE Message removed from AliEvent::GetDevice in case there are no devices present.
+05-dec-2003 NvE Memberfunction SetStable introduced in AliCollider for the user's convenience.
+08-dec-2003 NvE AliTrack derived from TNamed to enhance labeling flexibility and also specific
+ Clone memberfunction introduced to enable storage of derived objects in AliJet & co.
+ Also specific Clone memberfunctions introduced for AliJet, AliVertex and AliEvent and
+ for the already existing specific Clone memberfunctions the default argument was set
+ to the empty string "".
+15-dec-2003 NvE Datamembers fNdec and fNsig removed from AliTrack since these data are now retrieved
+ directly from the corresponding arrays.
+ Support for hypothesis probability introduced in AliTrack and old mass hypothesis
+ machinery extended to provide now full track hypotheses.
+18-dec-2003 NvE Support for object references from the various signal slots introduced in AliSignal.
+ Since this is mainly intended for "backward references" to AliTrack objects,
+ the AliTrack class has been slightly updated for this to provide pointer consistency
+ in case the corresponding AliTrack object is deleted.
+19-dec-2003 NvE Slight modification in AliVertex.h and AliAttribObj.cxx to prevent gcc compiler
+ warning concerning an unused variable.
+22-dec-2003 NvE Event selection introduced in AliCollider.
+24-dec-2003 NvE Some cosmetics in printout of AliVertex, AliEvent and AliCollider.
+ Support for spectator tracks introduced in AliCollider.
+28-dec-2003 NvE Facility introduced in AliCollider to set minimal momentum for spectator tracks
+ to be stored.
+06-feb-2004 NvE "char* name" changed to "const char* name" in all specific Clone memberfunctions
+ to prevent compiler warnings on Sun.
+ Memberfunction Set() of TTimeStamp used in AliEvent instead of setting the date/time
+ via the TTimeStamp constructor. This is only possible with ROOT version 3.10/02 or later,
+ since for earlier versions the TTimeStamp::Set memberfunctions were erroneously declared
+ private.
+11-feb-2004 NvE In script "gcclib" the option -Wno-long-long added to prevent warnings from the usage
+ of type "long long" in Rtypes.h
+12-feb-2004 NvE In AliCollider::MakeEvent the statement "char* name" was replaced by "char name[16]" to
+ comply with TPythia6 convention. Also the hardcoded values of the p and n masses have
+ been replaced by masses obtained from the Pythia system via a call to GetPMAS().
+ Because of a bug in TPythia6 the function Pymass() couldn't be used directly.
+13-feb-2004 NvE AliCollider::GetPyname introduced to provide a correctly stripped character string
+ for the particle names. The name returned by TPythia6::Pyname contains trailing
+ characters due to an incorrect stripping process.
+ AliCollider::MakeEvent was updated accordingly to make use of this new memberfunction.
+04-mar-2004 NvE Functionality of AliObjMatrix extended to provide the number of references and
+ (row,col) indices of all the occurrences of the stored objects.
+ Also an additional memberfunction AliObjMatrix::RemoveObject introduced to allow more
+ flexibility in specifying objects to be removed.
+09-mar-2004 NvE Additional memberfunction AliObjMatrix::RemoveObject renamed to RemoveObjects to prevent
+ confusion and ambiguity in usage.
+ Linking facility of AliSignal extended by enabling multiple links to a specific signal slot.
+ Also call to AliSignal::ResetLink changed to AliSignal::ResetLinks() in the dtor
+ of AliTrack to adopt the extended AliSignal linking facility and output in
+ AliTrack::ListAll() limited to only the referring signal slots to prevent long output lists.
+12-mar-2004 NvE Additional "cout << endl;" in front of AliCollider initialisation message in order to always
+ have the initialisation message starting on a new line. On some systems the fortran
+ carriage control of the pure Pythia doesn't get treated correctly.
+04-apr-2004 NvE SetMass() invoked from AliTrack::Set3Momentum to get also the energy properly initialised.
+09-apr-2004 NvE Support for specification of unit scale introduced in AliPosition.
+19-apr-2004 NvE Memberfunction GetPrimed introduced for Ali3Vector.
+04-may-2004 NvE Various memberfunctions declared "const" to satisfy the strict Alice coding rules
+ and also to allow better compiler optimisation.
+12-may-2004 NvE Track reference-point introduced in AliTrack.
+02-jun-2004 NvE Memberfunction GetUnprimed introduced for Ali3Vector.
+17-jun-2004 NvE New class AliHelix introduced and "macgcclib" added to create ralice libs on MAC.
+24-jun-2004 NvE Coefficient kp7 changed from 7.4e-5 to 7.4e-6 in AliMath::BesselK0 to correct typo
+ (thanks Josh de Bever).
+ Typos corrected (i.e. abs() replaced by fabs() in several places) in AliHelix
+ to satisfy the Intel compiler (thanks Fons Rademakers).
+25-jun-2004 NvE Protection introduced in AliSignal::GetNlinks.
+29-jun-2004 NvE New class AliDevice introduced.
+ New memberfunctions and datamembers introduced in AliEvent to support investigation
+ and ordering of hits of various (classes of) devices.
+01-jul-2004 NvE AliCalorimeter derived from AliDevice to extend functionality (e.g. allow definition
+ of sets of calorimeters and investigate all the hits of a certain set via the
+ AliEvent structure). To prevent matrix swapping restrictions, the memberfuctions
+ SetSwapMode and GetSwapMode of AliCalorimeter have been renamed to SetMatrixSwapMode
+ and GetMatrixSwapMode, respectively.
+ Examples in the AliEvent.cxx documentation updated accordingly.
+ Backward links reset for non-owned hits in AliDevice destructor.
+06-jul-2004 NvE AliCalorimeter hit I/O only via the linear array to decrease filesize on disk
+ and improve I/O speed.
+ Internal temp. arrays used for hit sorting in AliDevice and AliEvent and array
+ pointers returned instead of the arrays themselves. This will provide more
+ flexibility in usage.
+ Sorting and clustering procedures in AliCalorimeter modified to use TObjArray pointers
+ to enable direct use of the AliDevice linear sorting facility.
+ Default for AliDevice changed such that now all registered hits are by default owned
+ by the AliDevice object.
+06-oct-2004 NvE Full support for data access via slotname specification introduced in AliAttrib and AliSignal.
