Introduction --------------- This document briefly summarizes executable by executable the most important changes made since the last release of ctools. 2. Configuration ----------------- None 3. Python interface ------------------- None 4. ctobssim - CTA observation simulation ---------------------------------------- If several observations are processed at once, ctobssim now outputs an observation definition XML file and separate FITS files for each observation. The filenames of the FITS files will be written to the observation definition file. 5. ctselect - CTA event selection --------------------------------- None 6. ctbin - CTA event binning ---------------------------- None 7. ctlike - CTA maximum likelihood fitting ------------------------------------------ ctlike computes now the total number of observed events and dumps them in the log file just before it dumps the number of predicted events. It also computes the difference between observed and predicted events so that the difference is immediately visible. 8. ctskymap - CTA sky mapping ----------------------------- None 9. Examples ----------- None 10. Scripts ----------- None 11. caldb --------- None 12. models ---------- None
