ctools 1.3 release (7 June 2017)

Overview

ctools 1.3 is a major release that adds significant functionality.

In particular, this release provides:

• ctphase for phasing events
• ctprob for event probabilities
• csebins for an automatic computation of an optimal energy binning

Bug fixes

• [2121] - Correct covariance matrix computation in ctbutterfly
• [2114] - Add missing *.i SWIG file into release tarball
• Use correct ROOT histograms in csroot2caldb
• [1987] - Copy cscripts into bin directory instead of creating a symbolic links
• [1983] - Raise exception instead of exiting with return code in Python tests
• Support of map cubes lying outside RoI in ctobssim
• [1975] - Consider RoI in ctskymap and use numerical integration for IRF
• [1652] - ctbkgcube throws exception if no background model is found
• [1370] - Set local language to english

Improvements

• [1996] - Add phase parameter to ctselect
• [1989] - Implement regression scheme in cssens and remove num_avg parameter
• [1985] - If code originates from Git, always compile the Python bindings
• [1978] - Support energy boundary FITS file in ctmapcube
• [1863] - ctlike stores covariance matrix in either CSV or FITS format
• [1862] - Implement Gaussian error propagation in ctbutterfly
• [1483] - ctobssim adds Monte Carlo identifiers to simulated events
• Enhance logfile output of csroot2caldb script
• Set default deadc value to 0.98 (CTA has <2% deadtime)

New features

• [1991] - Add ctprob tool
• [1982] - Add ctphase tool
• [1976] - Add csebins script
