the background analysis region from the source region.<br />

* A new parameter ’nullborder’ will remove sources which touch the<br />

border of the image (default = "NO")<br />

* A new parameter ’psfshape’ used to select either the GAUSSIAN or<br />

PYRAMID shapes (default="PYRAMID").<br />

* A new parameter ’bkgfit’. When set to true, the background of<br />

each source is fitted individually.<br />

* More flexible control over which iamge keywords are copied to the<br />

output catalog table (new ’keepkeywords’ parameter).<br />

* Some optimizations and robustifications.<br />

* Some memory leaks were plugged (thanks to Valgrind).<br />

batclean<br />

* BUG FIX that was causing the code to crash when there were catalog<br />

sources below the threshold for cleaning (’cleansnr’ parameter).<br />

batdrmgen<br />

* INTERFACE CHANGE: New parameter ’hkfile’ is an "ask" parameter.<br />

This should be the name of a DAP housekeeping file. NONE is<br />

allowed, and then default values for the bias voltages and<br />

electronics threshold settings are used (using the new "hv_def" and<br />

"vthr_def" parameters).<br />

* <strong>The</strong> names of the calibration files used to generate the response<br />

file are now written to keywords in the response file headers.<br />

batfftimage<br />

* BUG FIX for when negative right ascension was being reported in<br />

the WCS keywords.<br />

* New keyword in output FLUXMETH = ’WEIGHTED’ describes the flux<br />

extraction technique.<br />

* New keywords APERTURE and BTELDEF describe which calibration<br />

files were used to make the image.<br />

* <strong>The</strong> task now copies other non-image extensions to the output file<br />

(such as GTIs and EBOUNDs) if the new parameter copyall="YES".<br />

* A unique EXTNAME keyword is written to each output extension.<br />

* It is now possible to say pcodemap=APPEND_LAST or APPEND_ALL and<br />

the partial coding maps will be appended to the output file.<br />

* Fix memory leaks.<br />

batmasktaglc<br />

* BUG FIX Corrected code so that no rows are written to the RATE<br />

extension when either (a) there are counts in one of the input<br />

rate files, but not the other, or (b) when there is not a valid<br />

mask weight map covering the time period. <strong>The</strong> times in the GTI<br />

extension indicate the valid times according to these criteria.<br />

* Added check to make sure that the catalog number of the mask<br />

weight map matches that of the rate file.
