18 November 2020


Introduction
------------
This document briefly summarizes the changes that have been made in this
ctools release with respect to the precedent release.


Configuration
-------------
None


Documentation
-------------
None


Python interface
----------------
None


Support model
-------------
None


Base classes
------------
None


ctbin - CTA event binning
-------------------------
Removed implicit conversion warning during C++ compilation (#3324).


ctbkgcube - CTA background cube generation
------------------------------------------
None


ctbutterfly - Generate butterfly diagrams
-----------------------------------------
None


ctcubemask - CTA cube filtering
-------------------------------
None


ctedispcube - CTA energy dispersion cube generation
---------------------------------------------------
None


cterror - Likelihood profile error computation
----------------------------------------------
None


ctexpcube - CTA exposure cube generation
----------------------------------------
None


ctfindvar - Variability search
------------------------------
None


ctlike - Maximum likelihood fitting
-----------------------------------
The model fitting results, such as log-likelihood value, number of iterations
etc. are now added to the output XML file (#3431).

A bug was fixed in the implementation of the fix_spat_for_ts parameter that
only fixed the spatial parameters for the first of the sky models but left
the spatial parameters free for all additional sky models. Now the parameters
are fixed for all sky models (#3426).


ctmapcube - CTA map cube generation
-----------------------------------
None


ctmodel - CTA counts cube modelling
-----------------------------------
None


ctobssim - CTA observation simulation
-------------------------------------
Added models() method allowing for a setting of the model container without
using the "inmodels" parameter (#3441).


ctphase - Event phase computation
---------------------------------
None


ctprob - Event probability computation
--------------------------------------
None


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


ctselect - CTA event selection
------------------------------
Replaced std::tmpnam() by gammalib::tmpnam() function in ctselect (#3324).


ctskymap - CTA sky mapping
--------------------------
None


cttsmap - Generation of Test Statistic map
------------------------------------------
None


ctulimit - Compute upper limit
------------------------------
None


support - Support classes
