ChangeLog for rmfgen ==================== Version 2.8.7 - 2023-02-27 (RDS) ------------ + (src/RmfTableIterator.cc) - Removed useless debug statement (SPR-7671) Version 2.8.6 - 2023-01-26 ------------- + test/runrmfgen - Updated test in line with a change in the chkrmf ftool used in testing (SPR-7664) Version 2.8.5 - 2021-08-16 (EO) ------------- + test/runrmfgen: Added export HEADASNOQUERY= export HEADASPROMPT=/dev/null to allow for batch processing of HEASOFT tasks. Quoting HEASOFT Good Scripting Practices for Batch Processing: "HEASOFT is optimized for interactive processing at the console, where the user is expected to be working with an active terminal. Query prompts for unfilled parameter values will stall when attempting to access the console terminal. In some cases, a HEASOFT tool will try to initialize the console terminal even when no query is necessary. The HEADASNOQUERY and HEADASPROMPT environment variables may be used to disable this behavior".

Version 1.8 - 10-11-98 ----------- - Removed spurious files (TODO etc) from release. Version 1.7 - 09-11-98 ----------- - New framework from which to implement features such as pile-up correction, "dummy" matrix generation etc has been added.

This corrects for a NAGACE compiler problem raised by J Ballet (2 Jun 1998) - Separated call to CAL_getRedistribution to two lines (minor). Version 1.1 - 20-05-98 ----------- - Fixed bug related to the number of detector channels assigned to output file. - closed SOC-SPR-218: do not check SAS_DIR and/or source sas-setup.csh (test/testrmfgen) - The following SPRs have been closed as a consequence of changes made for the package sas-1.1: SOC-SPR-217 : remove config/rmfgen.prm Version 1.0 - 04-05-98 ----------- Initial version for SAS v1 integration
