Eventdisplay is a reconstruction and analysis pipeline for data of the VERITAS Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT). v492.0-rc5 is the 5th candidate for v492. Do not use for science analysis Bugfixes Fixes long list of bugs listed in Issue #352. Fix A2: VTraceHandler::calculateTraceSum_slidingWindow() fRaw branch returned FADC[1] (second FADC sample, ped-subtracted) instead of the accumulated raw charge sum. Affected pedestal calculation path. (#351) Bug fix: non-XGB jobs no longer probe XGB sidecar files (E4) XGB sidecar files (stereo and gamma-hadron) are now opened only when the active reconstruction method and gamma-hadron cut type actually require them, eliminating spurious ROOT file-open errors in non-XGB jobs. (#352) Bug fix: explicit NegWeightTreatment for TMVA Gradient BDT angular reconstruction Added NegWeightTreatment=Pray to the default TMVA options in trainTMVAforAngularReconstruction to match actual TMVA behaviour: BoostType=Grad does not support InverseBoostNegWeights (TMVA's global default) and silently replaces it with Pray; the options string now declares this explicitly so the training configuration matches what is used. (#353) Maintenance Updates to allow for compilation with ROOT >=v6.38. Adjustment of CI. (#358)
