18. Multi-wavelength interface

20. CTA interface
-----------------
The GCTAModelIrfBackground::eval() method uses now the GCTABackground3D::rate_ebin()
integrator method instead of the GCTABackground3D::operator() operator so that the
background model evaluation is no longer sensitive to the number of energy bins.
The GCTACubeBackground::fill() method was simplified, removing the power law
integration which was not accurate enough, and using directly the
GCTAModelIrfBackground::eval() method which is now exact (#3472).


21. COMPTEL interface 
--------------------- 
None


22. INTEGRAL/SPI interface 
-------------------------- 
None
