v1.5 ==== ========== ================== 2011-10-20 André Offringa ========== ================== 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.
