6.0.1 (11/14/2012)

  • File handling
    • Changed start location in FileRawChunk.readImage to long instead of int to support reading some large files. This affected a number of different file format readers.
  • Image views and visualization
    • Updated the multi-histogram display. Fixed the display panel gradient mag. graph. Added a 'window' option for the triangle widget by moving the green control point up/down. Fixed reload error when the renderer is closed and then opened again. Fixed save / load file bug for triangle widget.
    • Added a new default lookup table/transfer function option that mimics the behavior of ImageJ.

6.0.0 (11/7/2012)

MIPAV is now open source! See the license information for details.

  • File handling
    • Added basic support for dragging-and-dropping directories, single files and multifile images into MIPAV.
    • DICOM: Fixed reading of some files with private tags that resemble the image tag pattern.
    • DICOM: Fixed an issue reading some enhanced DICOM tag sequences.
    • DICOM: Added support for writing enhanced MR, CT and XA.
    • DICOM: Fixed an issue reading tags in some boolean images.
    • DICOM: Fixed handling of a number of tags in the 0018 group when reading and writing images.
    • DICOM: In writeMultiFrameImage in "0028,0010" bitsPerPixel = 16 rather than source image bitsPerPixel value so that it always reflects the short data in the written file.
    • DICOM: Fixed display of min and max values for color images in the file header dialog.
    • DICOM: Fixed an issue reading image data when no pixel padding was specified.
    • DICOM: Added support for writing multiframe ushort, ARGB and ARGB_ushort data types.
    • DICOM: Added support for writing ARGB_ushort data types.
    • TIFF: Added support for reading in ImageJ ROIs stored in TIFF header.
    • TIFF: 4D TIFF data is written out as a set of 3D files now.
    • RAW: Fixed issue writing out 4D volume as 3D files.
    • RAW: Fixed issue reading boolean image.
    • ANALYZE: Fixed an issue reading some boolean images.
    • PARREC: Fixed resolution calculation for some images.
    • PARREC: Fixed processing of angulation midslice in parrec images.
    • PARREC: Added slice/offcenter loading for any orientation.
    • PARREC: Added support for reading/writing 4D data as multifile.
    • Added new Spar file format support.
    • MINC2: Fixed progress bar issue and added better support for saving image subsets (either 3D or 4D).
    • MINC2: Improved support for reading 3D and 4D images with some orientation/image data settings.
    • MINC: Added support for writing 2D and 4D images.
    • MINC: Added support for multifile datasets.
    • INTERFILE: Added multifile support.
    • Fixed getting image unit from abbreviation.
    • NIFTI: For Preferences.PREF_FLIP_NIFTI_READ the default preferences has been changed form true to false.
  • Algorithms and utilities
    • Added a new system for saving/loading algorithm and utility defaults automatically to JDialogBase. The old interface was renamed to LegacyDialogDefaultsInterface and was deprecated. As part of this, dialogs that want to have this behavior should call super.actionPerformed(event) when the event is not handled in the subclass actionPerformed(). The new system also adds the ability to save/load parameters to different profiles.
    • Added Locally linear embedding algorithm.
    • In DTI importer, corrected anatomy fat shift options.
    • OAR algorithms now save interpolation, resolutions, dims, transformVOIs, clip and pad in matrix file.
    • Transformation algorithm now reads the additional matrix file parameters if they are found.
    • Switched many registration and transformation algorithms to use doubles instead of floats.
    • Sped up the nearest neighbor operations in the Transformation algorithm.
    • Added new Time fitting algorithm to the Systems analysis menu.
    • Removed the Skeletonize3D algorithm.
  • VOIs and paint
    • Fixed handling of VOI bounding box checkbox in VOI properties dialog.
    • Fixed some issues grouping VOI contours.
    • Added Ctrl key angle modification for line VOIs.
    • Allowed line, protractor, and point vois to save in voxel coordinates.
    • Now able to do image statistics without having a VOI present from the VOI properties dialog.
    • Fixed an issue converting between VOI and mask and back again.
  • Image views and visualization
    • Added Bicubic image interpolation mode to image display.
    • Made a number of improvements to the Custom zoom dialog.
    • Fixed J3D surface volume calculation.
    • Fixed bug in the slices panel for the GPU renderer.
    • Fixed a number of VOI issues in the GPU renderer and in surface extraction.
    • Created new method for image display, default transfer function now has a min/max set at the 5/95 percentiles of an image.
    • Added new option to the MIPAV options dialog that allows for selection of how the initial LUT for an image should be constructed.
    • Made a number of fixes and additions (including a triangle widget and widget save/load) to the GPU renderer multi histogram tool.
  • Miscellaneous
    • Added a new integrated bug reporting button (only works from within NIH - fixed in a future version).
    • Added the ability to drag menus out of the main MIPAV menu to separate windows.
    • In TransMatrix, a new version of saveMatrix can store other transform variables in addition to the TransMatrix. A new version of readMatrix can read these variables. The variables are interp, oXres, oYres, oZres, oXdim, oYdim, oZdim, tVOI, clip, and pad.
    • Removed mipav help jar and the MipavUtil.showHelp() method that used it. MipavUtil.showWebHelp() should now be used to show wiki-based help pages instead of the jar-based help.
