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 0.11.0 or above.


2. Configuration
-----------------
None


3. Python interface
-------------------
The cscripts have been moved to the ctools module. Now everything is comprised
in that module.

The obsutils.spectrum() function has been removed as it is now replaced by the
csspec script.


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


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


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


7. ctbin - CTA event binning
----------------------------
ctbin now verifies if an ROI has been set properly, and throws an exception in
case that no ROI information could be found.


8. ctlike - Maximum likelihood fitting
--------------------------------------
The optimizer is now allocated upon construction so that ctlike always returns a
meaningful object using the opt() method.


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
-----------------------------------
None


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


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


18. cterror - Likelihood profile error computation
--------------------------------------------------
Added initial version of the likelihood profile error computation tool. This
tool will scan the likelihood function to find the confidence interval for
all source parameters.


19. Examples
------------
None


20. Scripts
-----------
Added csinfo script to provide some information about the GammaLib and ctools
installation. To be run in case of problems to help diagnostics.
