New Features and Important Changes in GammaLib 1.2.0

29 July 2016


1. Introduction
---------------
This document briefly summarizes module by module the most important changes
made since the last release of GammaLib.


2. Public interface modifications
---------------------------------
The following classes have been added:
- GModelSpectralExpInvPlaw
- GModelSpectralPlawEnergyFlux

The following classes have been removed:
- ...

The following classes have been renamed:
- GModelSpectralPlawPhotonFlux, was GModelSpectralPlaw2

The following methods have been added:
- ...

The following methods have been removed:
- ...

The following methods have been renamed:
- GModelSpectralPlawPhotonFlux::flux(), was GModelSpectralPlaw2::integral()

The parameters for the following methods have been changed:

3. Configuration
-----------------
None


4. Application module
---------------------
None


5. Base module
--------------
None


6. FITS I/O Interface
---------------------
None


7. Linear algebra module
------------------------
None


8. Model module
---------------
The GModelSpectralPlaw2 class has been renamed to GModelSpectralPlawPhotonFlux
and the integral() methods were renamed to flux(). A new class
GModelSpectralPlawEnergyFlux has been added that handles integral energy
fluxes as opposed to GModelSpectralPlawPhotonFlux that handles integral
photon fluxes. Unit tests have been added for the new class (#1790).

The GModelSpectralExpInvPlaw class has been added that uses a cut-off
parameter instead of a cut-off energy for the exponentially cut-off
power law. The cut-off parameter is the inverse of the cut-off energy
(#1800).
