Issue Date Comments
0.1 29/09/00 Initial release of embadpixfind
0.2 17/04/01 Looks for bad segments along rows and columns
    Looks for dark pixels, rows and columns as well
    Takes the point spread function into account
1.0 11/05/01 emeventsproj is now an independent package
1.1 03/07/01 Look for brightest pixels before dark rows and columns
1.2 10/10/01 Check uplinked bright pixels declared in the CCF
1.3 17/10/01 PSF for MOS1 is hardcoded
1.5 03/01/02 Security against CCF bad pixels outside formal CCD
1.6 17/01/02 Securities against very high statistics
1.11 27/05/02 Better documentation of the warnings
1.13 26/08/02 Iterate over full loop
1.14 27/11/02 Allow very small ($< 10^{-7}$) probathreshold
1.15 28/03/03 Looks for bright and dead columns/rows together
1.21 23/12/04 Do not reject columns/rows when local dispersion is large
    Account for brightness profile along projection direction when removing segments
2.0 11/01/05 Remove PSF factor in favor of local dispersion
    Add halfwidth2d, halfwidth1d, minratio parameters
    Remove medianset parameter (compute median internally)
    Relax stopping criterion to avoid missing bright pixels
    Use new statistic (Li & Ma 1983 or binomial) to test faint pixels
