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.
