Latest revision as of 16:08, 8 April 2013

Version 7.x.x change list

7.0.1 (4/5/2013)

  • File handling
    • DICOM: When trying to open an image with a Transfer Syntax UID that indicates that it is a compressed DICOM, but with an image tag length that implies that it is not compressed, try reading it in without decompression.
    • DICOM: Fixed a problem in the DICOMDIR browser that prevented it from opening.
    • Fixed a problem in the Open sequence tool with the use of progress bars that caused crashes for some file formats (this means that there are no progress bars when opening the sequence).
  • Algorithms and utilities
    • Added new utility for correction of non-helical CT gantry tilt correction.
    • Fixed some issues running the Prostate segementation algorithm on some systems.
    • The DialogDefaultsInterface has been added back. JDialogBase now implements this interface and provides default versions of the loadDefaults() and saveDefaults() methods.
  • VOIs and paint
    • The backspace key now behaves the same as delete when working with VOIs to delete points or entire curves (which fixes issues with using an Apple keyboard on Windows).
  • Image views and visualization
    • Added better handling of when the GPU volume renderer when the videocard doesn't support the required OpenGL or GLSL version.
    • When opening the renderer, apply the LUT that is already set for the image.
  • Miscellaneous
    • Fixed some issues with scripting plugins that have JDialog in their name.
    • PlugInAlgorithm plugins now are displayed even when no image is open (but are disabled).
    • Fixed some issues in handling command line arguments that start with two dashes instead of one.
    • Added buildSlider() method to GuiBuilder.
    • Auto-restart of MIPAV after a memory change on Windows is no longer supported.
    • MIPAV is now started the same way on 32 and 64 bit systems. Shortcuts to start with or without a debugging window are now installed.

7.0.0 (3/22/2013)

Updated the JREs and libraries distributed with MIPAV. On Windows and Linux, the JRE installed is based on version 1.7.0_17. The installed native libraries used are the same, except for Jogamp, which is now the Jogamp JOGL/JOCL release from 2012-11-01.

  • File handling
    • PARREC: Fixed bug reading orientations and FOV from some files.
    • PARREC: Fixed reading of 4th dim unit of measure and resolution.
    • PARREC: Added patient name reading and included it in file header dialog information.
    • PARREC: When reading sagittal files for sliceAngle and offCentre arrays put minus signs in front of sliceAngle[2] and offCentre[2] to reflect change from RL in PARREC to LR in MIPAV.
    • Added support for reading AFNI matrix (.1D file) to TransMatrix.
    • Allowed ViewImageFileFilter to be extended, added .1d file format to list, made accept() method insensitive to capitalization differences.

    • DICOM: Fixed the reading of some chunked DICOM encapsulated lossless JPEG files.
    • DICOM: Added a dictionary of private tags, which supplies them with names in the view header dialog.
    • DICOM: Fixed error reading some images that included an icon image in a sequence tag.
    • DICOM: Changed tag reading to assume that finding 0028,0008 - Number of Frames means that the DICOM is multi-frame. Before, a 0002,0002 - Media Storage SOP Class UID that indicated enhanced MR, CT or XA was required. This caused a problem for a multi-frame OCT dataset from JHU.
    • DICOM: Changed error message when the slice data extents are 0. Indicate that there was a problem in reading extents/image data, not that we think it's a spectroscopy dataset.
    • Added TrackVis file support.
    • AFNI: Added afni implementation of subBrick names and statistical distributions.
    • Implemented ability to programmatically read in just the header of most images, those images where this is not possible print out that information to the Preferences.debug output and return null.

    • Fixed mouse wheel scrolling in the GPU renderer on Macs.
    • Removed a number of old, unused GLSL shaders.
    • Updated the WildMagic library: Changed Vector2f, Vector3f, Vector4f, Vector2d, Vector3d, Vector4d, Matrix2f, Matrix3f, Matrix3d, Matrix4f so that most functions return 'this', enabling chaining of multiple vector or matrix operations.

    • Changed a number of methods and fields in file- and view-related classes to protected.
