1. Introduction
---------------
This document briefly summarizes executable by executable the most important
changes made since the last release of ctools. The code complies to GammaLib
version 1.0.0 or above.


2. Configuration
-----------------
A special post processing of the Python module libraries has been added for
Mac OS X 10.11 and higher (El Capitan). This post processing is a replacement for
setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH during unit testing since the environment variable is
ignored in certain circumstances by El Capitan.


3. Python interface
-------------------
None


4. Support model
----------------
None


5. ctobssim - CTA observation simulation
----------------------------------------
None


6. ctselect - CTA event selection
---------------------------------
None


7. ctbin - CTA event binning
----------------------------
None


8. ctlike - Maximum likelihood fitting
--------------------------------------
None


9. cttsmap - Generation of Test Statistics map
----------------------------------------------
None


10. ctskymap - CTA sky mapping
------------------------------
None


11. ctmodel - CTA counts cube modelling
---------------------------------------
None


12. ctexpcube - CTA exposure cube generation
--------------------------------------------
None


13. ctpsfcube - CTA point spread function cube generation
---------------------------------------------------------
None


14. ctbkgcube - CTA background cube generation
----------------------------------------------
None


15. ctcubemask - CTA cube filtering
-----------------------------------
Allow to ignore the spatial filtering by specifying NONE parameters for "ra",
"dec" or "rad".


16. ctbutterfly - Generate butterfly diagrams
---------------------------------------------
None


17. ctulimit - Compute upper limit
----------------------------------
None


18. cterror - Likelihood profile error computation
--------------------------------------------------
None


19. cscripts
------------
The csspec script now handled correctly stacked data. Dependent on the
requested energy binning, it selects for each spectral energy bin the
relevant energy bins from the counts cube and performs a maximum likelihood
analysis.


20. Examples
------------
None


21. caldb
---------
None


22. models
----------
None
