enable_cticor, enable_scicti, enable_edge_smooth,
hk_time_margin, hk_aetemp_min, hk_aetemp_max, flag_rand_phas0
- Removed parameters: trcor_flag_rand, cticor_flag_rand
xisputpixelquality:

xistime :
- Support psum timing event files.
- Time assignment has changed for window option.
- Update columns in GTI, FRAMES, EXPOSURES, LOSTAREAS extensions.
- Update TSTART, TSTOP, TELAPASE, ONTIME, LIVETIME, EXPOSURE keywords.
- New parameters: ignore_frames, gapsec
xisucode :
- Write SCI releated keywords with new format ucodelst CALDB.
- Now written in C. Note this task does not have par file.
- Always copy CODE_ID and other ucode keywords from primary
to other extensions
xisrmfgen :
- Support SCI RMF generation, with new format rmfparam CALDB file.
- Read EDITMODE, WINOPT, CI keywords from phafile.
- New parameters: editmode, winopt, ci, enable_scirmf
xisexpmapgen :
- New tool. Calculate a detector mask image usable in xissimarfgen, and
an exposure map in sky coordinates considering the attitude wobbling.
xissim :
- Fill STATUS column appropriately as 'xisputpixelquality' does.
- Speed up in calculations, In particular when scatsw=1 (default 0)
xissimarfgen :
- Added parameters included also in 'xisexpmapgen', e.g.
enable_pixq, hotpixfiles, badcolumfile, calmaskfile,
pixq_min, pixq_max, pixq_and, pixq_eql that deal with
SCI rows, hot and flickering pixels, bad columns, and
the area of the 55Fe calibration sources.
- Speed up in calculations, In particular when scatsw=1 (default 0)
