11 11 changes made since the last release of GammaLib.

13   -The code quality was enhanced in this release by resolving errors and
14   -warnings issued by the cppcheck code quality check utility. A few real
15   -errors were detected, the remaining modifications concerned mainly the
16   -coding style and the translation of C-style casts into C++ style casts.

19 14 2. Configuration
20 15 -----------------
21   -Added OpenMP support to allow for code parallelization. If available,
22   -OpenMP is enabled by default. OpenMP support may be disabled using
23   -the --disable-openmp flag.
  16 +The configuration script does no longer check for the presence of the
  17 +gammalib/__init__.py file. This file is generated upon installation
  18 +of the Python bindings, and is not shipped with the GammaLib library.
  19 +In version 00-06-00, a missing gammalib/__init__.py file was
  20 +misinterpreted as a need for swig to build the Python bindings. On
  21 +systems without swig the Pyhton bindings were thus not built.
  22 +
  23 +The swig files are no longer installed in the GammaLib directory.
  24 +These files are indeed not needed.
24 25  
25   -Check for the presence of the Python.h header file and the wrapper
26   -files for Python bindings.
  26 +The clang++ compiler takes now precedence over the g++ compiler. In
  27 +that way, clang++ will be selected by default on Mac OS X systems
  28 +(usually from Mac OS X 10.7 on).

46   -Two bugs were corrected in GSparseMatrix. First, the non-equal
47   -operator != had a bug that left the major part of the matrix untested.
48   -This had hidden a problem with the fill stack from the unit test.
49   -Once the != operator bug was corrected, the unit test revealed that
50   -the misusage of an internal working array corrupted the fill stack
51   -after a flush. This has been corrected by adding an additional
52   -working array, so that conflicts can no longer arise.

58   -component of the model. The Monte Carlo method as well as the function
59   -evaluation methods have been implemented. The function evaluation
60   -methods make use of the GSkymap sky direction access operators that
61   -performs a bi-linear interpolation of the pixels values for a given
62   -direction. Note that the total flux in the sky map is normalized

109   -A new module has been introduced that supports unit testing of

111   -- GTestSuites is a container class for unit test suites
112   -- GTestSuite implements a specific unit test suite
113   -- GTestCase collects information about a specific test case
