April 3, 2015 Meike de With (meike.de.with@desy.de)¶

Release V00-02-01

Recognize I3_TESTDATA

– Alex Olivas
log_fatal if no G-frame has been passed before the first Q-frame
Replace int by size_t to make compilers happy

– Marcel Zoll

V00-02-00

Corrected critical bug, which should make sure that the project no longer gives different results on some systems. In function BuilingDistanceMaps() a read-beyond-memory has been found when evaluating the specified ring-limits. This caused sometimes (only on certain platforms and only if it is a tuesday and a man in an ewok costume stands outside) that the more rings were included, when DOMs were to be evaluated for their causal connectivity. Even though this weakens the separation power of the algorithm, in the practical use-case the impact is not high, because the evaluation of the connectivity with the different norms caught many of the cases where this could have had impact.

– Marcel Zoll

April 23, 2014 Meike de With (meike.de.with@desy.de)¶

V00-01-01

This release and all releases before this can give different results on some systems (specifically the SL5 and FreeBSD buildbots, though on some other SL5 systems the results are the same as on ‘normal’ systems), use with care.

Corrected bug in the tests: replaced uint by double

– Marcel Zoll

January 13, 2014 Meike de With (meike.de.with@desy.de)¶

V00-01-00

First release as a project!

Added a steamshovel artist

– Marcel Zoll

Dec 18, 2013 mzoll (marcel.zoll@fysik.su.se)¶

Small changes in the interface behind the scenes, more modularity
Fixed Unit-tests
Fixed warning from ddeprecated functions

Sept 21, 2013 mzoll (marcel.zoll@fysik.su.se)¶

Experimental parameter ‘ModifyObjects’ which will give the Subframes really individual I3EventHeader and Pulses with according starttimes
Now for every P-frame subevent the start and stoptime (first and last hit) are saved in variables [Output]+”StartTime” and [Output]+”StopTime”; This is a workaround for the fact that SubEvents should be able to store their eventtimes also somehow, but can not use the I3EventHeader, as it would overshadow the base-eventheader in the q frame

Sept 19, 2013, mzoll (marcel.zoll@fysik.su.se)¶

CodeReview by Samuel and valubale comments by Chris; the following changes have been implemented:
DISABLED FUTURE: Additional Option ‘UseDOMSpacings’. Allows to specify RingLimits in units of DOM spacings instead of meters. needs work when comparing different geometry DOMs (DC<->IC because of OM offset)
Documentation updates how RingLimits and eligible Volume works.
Unit test now included: Testing library functions and overall performance. Regression test still included (better to have a comprehensive real life test)
New function HitSorting::ConvertHits2RecoPulses to revert Hits to Pulses from the info contained within.
The Hives have been moved from hardcoded functions to configurable files in /resources; according reading functions have been fitted.
BugFix concerning the relative scale factors: the positions of string 79,80 are scaling to regular IceCube positions by 1:3 density not 1:4
changed the standard-out of subordinated code from std::cout to log_info/debug/warn ….
NOTE: projects makes use of log_fatal_stream; while the function exists compilation fails with icetray, which is older than revision r1678 (8. July)
DANGER: Critical Bug with minor impact discovered in legacy code from TopologicalSplitter: if two subevents should start at the (exact) same time the later one never will make it to output.
The code has been clean up from (unwanted) residuals
HiveSplitter has been separated into a class ‘HiveSplitter’, which provides the clustering machinery, and the I3Module-wrapper ‘I3HiveSplitter’; this also allows the comprehensive writing of Unit-test without going through an Icetray environment.
Function parameters which are simple types are now copies instead of references
The libraries OMKeyHashing, HitSorting and Hive-Lib have grown by some convenience functions (might they find use in future projects)
Naming schemes of parameters and members have changed: IC|DC|PinguRingLimits have changed to Single/Double/TrippleDenseRingLimits
FUTURE write pybindings for ‘HiveSplitter’-class
Minor impact bug found and corrected in Topology::DeepCoreDOM(); took a ‘<’ for a ‘>’
Ready for final release?

July 27, 2013, mzoll (marcel.zoll@fysik.su.se)¶

HitSorting and OMKeyHashing now in their own files and namespaces

June 3, 2013, mzoll (marcel.zoll@fysik.su.se)¶

Going for a alpha-release of this project
Added in the new library Honey
Project is compiling an everything
LookUp-tables are building, and that fast
Splitter is working
Project has changed its name to HiveSplitter, while honey still remains in the Hive-library
LookUpTables build fast.
Inlined what was good and necessary.
Hive-lib gets a new interface to abstract Hives to a lower level. (e.g. convert IC rings into DC rings)
ExpandRings() makes from hard coded LookUpTables, bigger semihardcoded ones to higher order of rings
Hive-Lib has now a flatter object structure with stl vector and set.
Speed Tweaks to limit the number of variable accesses and computations.
HiveLib can now abstract Hives and construct the next following rings by smart algorithms, so there is no limit anymore
Add functions for uniting hives (add hives of equal scaling together, while using the union of both ring definitions)
Added a function BuildCompletePinguHoneyCombRegister() which does create a Hive with pingu-spacings which does register every and each string!
TODO maybe in the future pack hives into class objects with Solify() option to check and enforce uniformity of HoneyCombs registered.

List of features: * Indexing of Doms is performed with a linear function instead of caching (hashing), * No more geometry caching during runtime, * hit timeorder in evaluation is enforced, which enables exact steering of residuals and dom on ring spacings, * Different Noms: Lorentz, Eucledian, Static * No SplitMode
