 Documentation
 -------------
-Add Interface Manual to User documentation that provides links to the
-ctools and GammaLib Doxygen documentation (#3163).

-Add On/Off analysis to ctlike reference manual (#3154).

 Base classes
 ------------
-The headers in the log files created by cscripts that were derived from the
-ctools.cscript base class were repeated. This repetition was not present in
-the other base classes due to a reopening of the log file in those classes.
-The logic was changed so that the cscripts now behave like the ctools. A log
-file is not written by default in Python, the logFileOpen() method needs to
-be called for that. And the header is only written once in the log file (#3066).

 csphagen - Generate On/Off observations
 ---------------------------------------
-The handling of reflected regions in the presence of exclusion regions was
-improved. In the presence of exclusion regions, the number of Off regions is
-slighty shift in position (#2976).
-
-Setting the exclusion map via csphagen.exclusion_map(object=<map>) will now
-actually use the exclusion map even if the "inexclusion" parameter is not set.
-Before, the only exclusion that would be used was the exclusion passed via the
-"inexclusion" "parameter. If re-running csphagen using the "inexclusion"
-parameter after setting the map with csphagen.exclusion_map() you should first
-call csphagen.exclusion_map(object=gammalib.GSkyRegionMap()). This makes the
-map empty and csphagen then checks the "inexclusion" "parameter (#2925).

 cssrcdetect - Detects sources in sky map
 ----------------------------------------
-The using of a smoothing kernel in the _map_moments() method can lead to
-negative squared standard deviations that lead to an exception when the square
-root is taken. To avoid negative values, the minimum pixel values for the
-standard deviation map is computed and, if the minimum value is negative,
-subtracted from the standard deviation map. Therefore, by definition, the
-standard deviation map is non negative for all pixels (#3261).

 csviscube - Generate visibility cube
 ------------------------------------
-Moon contraints were added to compute a more accurate visibility cube. So far
-there are two constraints:
-- moonzenith, which specifies a minimum allow zenith angle for the Moon. In
-  other words, if the Moon is higher in the sky than the specified zenith
-  angle, the corresponding times are excluded from the visibility cube.
-- maxfli, which specifies the maximum fraction of lunar illumination. If the
-  Moon has an illumination that is equal or larger than this fraction, the
-  corresponding times are excluded from the visibility cube.
