The ctobservation::first_unbinned_observation() and ctobservation::next_unbinned_observation() methods implement an unbinned CTA observation iterator. Using this iterator avoids code duplication and generates a uniform interface for tools to loop over CTA events lists.
-
The building of a cuve on the fly raised issue with memory going out of scope. This is fixed by making the CTA event cube a member of ctbin, and having the cube() method returning a reference to that member
-
The publish parameter has been added to the following tools: - ctbin - ctbkgcube - ctcubemask - ctexpcube - ctmodel - ctskymap - cttsmap
-
…d scave() methods to ctool interface. Add read_ahead() method to handle reading of task parameters at the beginning of the task execution. Remove all m_read_ahead members from the derived classes.
-
…ovided by the base class
-
The ctool base class is now used in the ctbin tool. The get_ebounds() method has been moved to the ctool base class so that it can be used also in other tools. This reduces code duplication.

WARNING: The philosophy behind the ctbin tool changed fundamentally! ctbin now always produces a single counts cube on output. If a single event list is specified on input, the functionnality is basically unchanged. If multiple event lists are specified, however, events are now merged into a single counts cube file. No observation definition XML file is written anymore! So far, ctbin still writes pointing information in the counts cube, although this is not necessarily meaningful if merging event lists with different pointings. In the long run, pointing information will be summarized in a pointings definition file, and will be removed from the counts cube header. The logic is that the pointing definition is set to the map centre. This is only identical to the pointing in case of binning a single event list and using the usepnt=yes option (or specifying the pointing manually as the xref and yref parameters).
