Changes:

• The main points of this release: Better performance, improved visualization and raw file support.

• The computational performance has been significantly improved (2x faster) using various optimizations, including rewriting algorithms to use the SSE instruction set.

• New feature: The time-frequency plots are customizable in various ways (View->Plot properties), and have been polished somewhat.

• New feature: Export visualizations as vector graphics (SVG, PDF) or bitmap (PNG).

• New feature: FITS export of image plane.

• New feature: Logarithmic colour scale (both in TF diagram and Image plane window).

• New feature: Tool tips in some windows.

• New feature: Raw files produced for the Transient Key Science project can now be read and written by the tools (format description from P. Zarka).

• The performance of the indirect reader has been improved (flags are also reordered during write).

• Added a different interpolation algorithm

• Menus in the gui have been restructured.

• New testset simulating sinusoidal RFI.

• Bugfix: Cairo behaved differently on some platforms, and did not show everything.

• Change resolution action can now optionally take flags into account.

• Fixed some issues with UV projection and simulation runs.

• RFI console now returns a status upon finishing, useful for automated pipelines (suggested by C. Coughlan).

• Heavy refactoring of visualization code.

• Better test coverage.
