12 12 Configuration
13 13 -------------
14   -The Python unit tests now raise exceptions instead of exiting with a non-
15   -zero return code so that the user is not thrown out of Python after calling
16   -ctools.test() and cscripts.test() (#1983).
17   -
18   -If the code originates from the Git repository the configuration now switches
19   -to developer mode which implies that the Python bindings are always built.
20   -This solves the problem that occured for developers that could not get rid
21   -of existing Python wrappers, even if they modified the Python interface
22   -(#1985).
23   -
24   -The cscripts are now copied into the bin directory upon installation instead
25   -of creating symbolic links. This avoids problems on some VM file systems on

45   -The tool now supports map cubes that are not overlapping with the RoI.
46   -In this case, no spectral nodes exist and before the spectral flux()
47   -method called in ctobssim::get_model_flux() was throwing an exception.
48   -Now, for map cubes outside the RoI the flux is set to zero.
49   -
50   -The tool now also added Monte Carlo identifiers to the simulated events
51   -so that each event can be traced back to the model from which it originated
52   -(#1483).
  29 +The working log file pointer is now correctly forwarded to
