Changes Between Versions 6.5.4 and 6.5.5

This page lists the detailed changes made in all of the processing scripts. The script names are linked to a description of the current version of each script

subs/lightcurves - version 1.3 to 1.4
Added missing space before "]" in test statement.
subs/earthevents - version 1.1 to 1.2
Now skips FAST mode files to save archive space.
subs/readfrfs - version 1.3 to 1.4
Added a check for raw files with empty GTI extensions. If one is found, the file is deleted and an exception is given. This indicates a likely bug in frfread, but this is the most graceful way to recover.
subs/sources - version 1.7 to 1.8
Now skips source detection for smoothed images with no counts. Also fixed a bug that was hiding the exit code from ascasource.
subs/makefilters - version 1.2 to 1.3
Converted to use the new mplot utility instead of the old mplot STOOL.
subs/linearize - version 1.0 to 1.1
Now removes unfiltered file if there was an error from ascalin. If a file can't be calibrated, it can't be used, and it can seriously screw up downstream processing, so this is the best way to recover, although it does make debugging harder.
subs/header - version 1.3 to 1.4
Removed initial dot from FTOOLS version number.
util/sky2det - version 1.1 to 1.2
Fixed bug where no photons message wasn't shortened for the case where there were no filtered event files.
util/xselect_test - version 1.7 to 1.8
Now explicitly checks for "no GTI" in stdout if exit code is 246. This is to accomodate an apparent change in xselect behavior for FTOOLS 4.0.
util/ftool_test - version 0.0 to 1.0
Changed so that it will exit with status 1 if there was an error. Before, it would exit with the exit code of the ftool run, but this was changed, since it is more useful to be able to check if any error occurred. This was prompted by a change in the linearize subroutine to remove unfiltered event files after an ascalin error.
util/mplot - version 0.0 (new)
process.par - version 1.7 to 1.8
Added ECD data files for split threshold=20 . Changed to stools.3.5 .
processing_setup - version 1.3 to 1.4
Now makes sure that the PGPLOT_FONT file exists before setting the environment variable. This is for backwards compatibility with the older FTOOLS (pre 4.0). Changes FTOOLS variable to FTOOL, since the ftools 4.0 and later use this variable to refer to the directory above the bin directory. This change is also propogated through all scripts, but only noted here. For consistency, also changes STOOLS to STOOL.
