 Configuration
 -------------
-CTA background rates are now per ontime and not livetime. This makes the IRF
-background consistent with the cube background, and is also consistent with
-the open gamma data format (#2758).
-
-A Code Generator was added to the development directory that can be started
-using dev/codegen.py and that requires GammaLib to be installed. The code
-generator allows adding ctools and cscripts, including unit tests and code
-documentation, that are fully functional. The developer then only needs to
-fill the skeleton with the relevant code (#2709).
-
-Keep existing library path in installation script on Mac OS X (#2420).
+None
 Documentation
 -------------
-Added documentation for analysing data of the H.E.S.S. public data release.
-A bunch of Jupyter notebooks were also added (#2712).
+None
 Python interface
 ----------------
-ctools and cscripts can now be pickled from Python (#1938).

 Base classes
 ------------
-The set_obs_bounds() method was moved from the ctool class to the ctobservation
-class.
-
-The ctool base class now implements a log_parameters() method that overwrites
-the base class method and that logs a warning if the tool has an "edisp"
-parameter but the parameter is set to "no" (#2842).
-
-The ctool base class now loads the application parameters from the file provided
-in the "syspfiles" folder and updates parameter values using the file found in
-the user's "pfiles" folder, so that any change to the parameter file structure
-is handled transparently and no longer leads to an exception (#2513).
-
-The ctool::time_reference constant was removed since it is not required
-anymore. The time reference is now transparently handled by the tools, and
-if there is a choice, a "mjdref" parameter was added to the tools (#2054).
-
-The ctool::create_cta_obs() method now queries the optional "mjdref" parameter
-so that a MJD reference time can be specified by the tool. This functionality
-is now used by ctobssim (#2054).
-
-The ctools::get_gti() method now takes GTimeReference as argument to enable
-tools to retrieve Mission Elapsed Time (MET) in the time reference of the
-observation (#2054).
-
-The ctools::is_valid_filename() method was removed since the validity check
-of the filename is now done by the GApplicationPar class.
+None
 ctbin - CTA event binning
 -------------------------
-Added the option to produce an individual counts cube for each event list in
-the input observation definition XML file. The option is enabled by setting
-the new hidden parameter "stack" to "no". The cube() method now has an optional
-index argument, providing access to the i'th counts cube that was produced.
-The cubes() method specifies the number of counts cubes that were produced.
-If no counts cube was produced, the cube() method now throws an exception
-(#2714).
-
-ctbin now accouts for varying energy thresholds when computing the weight
-array (#2685).
-
-Add hidden "nthreads" parameter to control parallel computations (#2421).
-
-Copy the time reference from the first input observation (#2054).
+None
 ctbkgcube - CTA background cube generation
 ------------------------------------------
-The tool now required a counts cube on input, either specified via the
-ctbkgcube::cntcube() method or the "incube" parameter. This assures that the
-background cube has the same dimension as the counts cube. All spatial and
-spectral binning parameters were removed from the parameter file (#2763).
-
-Add ctbkgcube::cntcube() method so that a counts cube be specified as
-instance before running the tool. This avoids storing the counts cube on
-disk if the counts cube definition should be used to generate a background
-cube. In addition, the background cube values are now devided by the
-weight values of the counts cube since later, during model evaluation,
-the model is multiplied by the weight values. This makes sure that the
-normalisation is correct (#2685).
+None
 ctbutterfly - Generate butterfly diagrams

 ctmodel - CTA counts cube modelling
 -----------------------------------
-When running ctmodel on a counts cube, and specifically a stacked count cube,
-the event bin weighting is taken into account in the model evaluation. This
-is needed to properly take into account the changing thresholds. No such
-weighting is done if the model is computed from an event list, since in that
-case the model is properly computed for each observation using the run-wise
-response (#2721).
-
-The tools now computes DETX and DETY for every event bin if they are not
-available so that model that rely on the existence of these parameters can
-be handled (#2694).

@@ -202,65 +111,22 @@ None
 ctselect - CTA event selection
 ------------------------------
-Do no longer set missing energy and RoI boundaries in ctool::get_observations
-and ctool::setup_observations since this led to a problem in ctselect. For
-H.E.S.S. data, where the boundaries are not set, the boundaries were preset
-with the User parameters, which made event selection with the usepnt=no option
-impossible. It is not clear why the setting of missing boundaries was introduced
-but it looks like a dangerous thing to do. The setting has therefore been
-removed (#2686).
-
-Avoid an error in case that the RoI radius is identical to the existing RoI
-radius (#2682).
-
-Interpret MET specified by "tmin" and "tmax" parameters in the time reference
-of the input observations (#2054). 
+None
 ctskymap - CTA sky mapping
 --------------------------
-Fix an issue with artefacts for small roiradius values (#2839).
-
-Add exclusion_map() methods (#2725).
-
-Add the "inmap", "iterations" and "threshold" parameters. The hidden
-"inmap" parameter allows specifying a sky map file containing a "COUNTS"
-and "ACCEPTANCE" extension which avoids looping over event lists in an
-observation container. The "iterations" parameter allows the iterative
-determination of an exclusion map from the resulting significance map for
-the RING background method. The exclusion map will flag all pixels with
-significances above the "threshold" value so that they will be excluded
-in the subsequent RING background determination. Since this will impact
-the pixel significances, the procedure needs to be repeated a couple of
-times to stabilise (#2311).
-
-Accelerate the IRF and RING background methods. For the RING background
-method the computation is either performed using a FFT or using a direct
-computation. The FFT computation is faster, but assumed Euclidian
-distances for the sky map grid, the direct computation is slower, but
-accurately computes the distances between sky map pixels (#2309).

 csbkgmodel - Generate background model for 3D analysis

-energy-independent polynom of third order. The parameter "slufile" was added
-to allow specification of a lookup table file (#2878).
-
-A model named GAUSS(E) was added to implement an energy-dependent Gaussian

-Add exclusion_map() methods (#2725)
-
-A "outmodel" parameter was added and the script now produces an appropriate
-background model for maximum likelihood model fitting. The script now also
-sets the appropriate fit statistic depending on the "use_model_bkg" parameter
-(#2711).
-
-The script now supports any kind of background model, not only IRF background
-models (#2710).
-
-Add hidden "use_model_bkg" parameter. By default the parameter is set to "yes",
-which means that the background model provided in the model container is used
-for the computation of the alpha parameter and the background rate, stored in
-the "BACKSCAL" column of the On spectrum and the "BACKRESP" column of the Off
-spectrum, respectively. If the parameter is set to "no" it is assumed that the
-background rate in the On and Off regions are the same, and the model background
-is not used. In that case, the "BACKSCAL" column gives the ratio of the solid
-angles between On and Off regions, and the "BACKRESP" column is set to the
-solid angle of the On region. The resulting data can only be fitted using the
-"WSTAT" statistic (#2659).
-
-Add hidden "nthreads" parameter and implement parallelisation of computations
-(#2421).
-
-The true number of energy bins is now computed using
-   int(bins_per_decade * num_of_decades + 0.5)
-making sure in addition that the result is at least 1. This provides better
-control over the number of energy bins (#2490).

-Add hidden "nthreads" parameter and implement parallelisation of computations
