:orphan: .. _release-notes: Release Notes ============= Note: In order to release bug fixes in a timely manner, we try to publish Nion Swift releases on a regular basis. Sometimes, though, as a consequence, bug fix releases will also include new features that are only partial steps towards their final form. Instead of disabling these new partial features in bug fix releases, we choose to include them for evaluation and feedback. If you encounter an issue or have feedback about these types of new features, please contact us or `file issues `_.

Additional layers can be added by dragging and removed using the inspector. The display item feature also make it possible to have two simultaneous views of a single data item using the Display Copy command in the View menu. The procedure for updating files from file version 12 to 13 is to open the library folder in the new version -- files will be automatically updated, but may trigger a delay up to a couple minutes, depending on the size of the library. You can switch between old versions of Nion Swift and new versions, but when you have fully verified the new data and are only using the new version of Nion Swift, you can remove the old, unneeded data by removing the folder ``Nion Swift Data 12`` in the library folder.

Processing operations that work on data sets stored as HDF5 and result in a large data set that must be stored as HDF5 may fail. There is a known issue using keyboard shortcuts on Linux due to a bug in an underlying library (Qt). We expect this to be fixed when Qt 5.8.1 is released. Version 0.10.4, January 13, 2017 -------------------------------- * Fix performance issue introduced just before last release. Version 0.10.3, January 10, 2017 -------------------------------- * Display quality improvements (improved downscaling). * Performance improvements (display pipeline). * Inspector now works during live acquisition (however calibrations still can't be edited during acquisition). * Fix bug in handling of Fourier mask data. * Import now able to handle GIF and BMP directly. * Import improvements to TIFF (contributed by Andreas Mittelberger). Version 0.10.2, December 2, 2016 -------------------------------- * Extend TIFF_IO with 1-d, 2-d, 3-d, 4-d data, ImageJ compatibility (contributed by Andreas MittelBerger). * Integrate grid browser, new thumbnail browser into display panel. * Add cut, copy, paste support for graphics. * Handle modified/created timestamps in create_data_element_from_extended_data in script API. * Installer no longer includes Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package. * Linux installation now loads Python dynamically, allowing use of Python 3.5 on older systems. This release brings an improved way of selecting data items to be displayed in display panels. Click on a display panel (one without an acquisition controller) and press the 'v' key to switch to a thumbnail browser view. Choosing new data items by clicking or using the arrow keys will immediately display them in the display panel. Type 'v' again to return to regular view. Version 0.10.1, November 21, 2016 --------------------------------- * Fix bug where computed data not always updated properly during dragging. * Fix DM importer for 3d data sets (move first dimension to last to match Nion Swift). * Fix scale marker on spectrum images (was using wrong dimension). * Add ability to specify data descriptor from API when creating extended data. * Improve handling of metadata in data elements (affects DM importer). Version 0.10.0, November 15, 2016 --------------------------------- * Display source and dependent thumbnails within each display panel for easier data item navigation. * Add new script window accessible with Ctrl+K with predefined 'api' for interfacing using API. * Add history and tab completion to new script window. * Improvements to dark and gain normalization in some cameras (Orca). * Rework 'computation' functionality to use API calls for more flexibility. See note below. * Metadata is no longer copied from source to target during computations. See note below. * Thumbnails are now rendered with more detail. * Numerous inspector bug fixes and minor improvements. * Numerous API improvements. See documentation and typing files for specific details. * Add more calibration display options (pixels, calibrated, and relative). Edit using Calibration inspector. * Add annular ring mask graphic (experimental). * Tuning diagnostic arrows are now available on failed tuning runs. * Capture button works more consistently for EELS camera. * Fix some bugs in UI when switching modes on Camera. * Simplified the threading within the library. See note below. This release brings an improved way of seeing dependent and source data items in display panels. Small thumbnails appear indicating source (bottom left) or dependent (bottom right) data items. The small thumbnails can be dragged into display panels to be displayed. Computations have changed in this version. Standard computations such as FFT or line profile that were initially created using menu items should continue to work as expected. If you have entered a custom computation to generate the data for a data item, the custom computation will need to be modified. Use the menu item computations as examples on how to make the modifications. Computations no longer copy metadata. We are working on a solution for gathering metadata in dependent data items for an upcoming version. The threading model within the library has been simplified. The result is more reliable data updates, particularly during acquisition. The downside is potential performance issues if too much processing is occurring during acquisition. In most cases, processing will be sped up (three or less processed items occurring live). Version 0.9.0, August 22, 2016 ------------------------------ * Recording data via API no longer creates new data item for each acquisition. * Extend data system to include descriptions of dimensions (sequence, collection, datum). * Fix crash bug after Import Data menu command. * Fix intermittent bug causing hangs when switching workspaces. * Fix bug in auto computing display limits on complex data (improves FFT display). * Change SI and other 3d images to treat last dimension as signal rather than first. * Fix drawing issues on line plot display (intervals drawn outside bounds). * Enter key on line plot with selected intervals will auto-scale to data in intervals. * Add spot and wedge mask graphics (experimental). Add Fourer Filter menu item. * Add display rate limiter. Improves performance. * Add color map property for displays; add inspector for it; add display in histogram panel. * Fix bugs with graphic item inspectors on ndim > 2 data. * Fix bugs in threaded computations (single threaded for now). Improves performance unless many computations. * Display statistics in calibrated units in histogram window. * Add cursor intensity display when hovering over histogram window. * Improve cursor display during live acquisition. * Fix bugs in computation panel. Data indexing has changed in this version. 2d and 1d data has not been affected. 3d data where the signal is in the first index will have to be changed so that the signal is in the last index. 4d data should be organized into two collection indexes followed by two datum indexes. Existing 3d and 4d data is not automatically migrated since the information about how to migrate it is missing in older versions. Please contact Nion for help in migrating 3d and 4d data sets to this version. Version 0.8.2, June 17, 2016 ---------------------------- * Change wording of split workspace panel menu commands. * Provide automatic migration from old files to new files, but still leaves old file directory intact. * Ensure script dialogs get closed at exit. * Minor improvements to 'run script' dialog, resizable. Version 0.8.0, May 3, 2016 -------------------------- * File version to 10 (was 8), uses 'Nion Swift Data 10' as internal data storage folder name. * Continued improvements to computations. Still experimental unless initiated from menus. * Add additional data generation and RGB functions for use in computations. * Histogram and statistics are displayed for selected region instead of entire image if there is one. * Add a pick region tool for summing spectra over a region. * Add import folder functionality, which imports a folder as a new library. * Disable automatic migration from file version 8 to 10. See note. Procedure for updating files from 8 to 10 is to duplicate the 'Nion Swift Data' subfolder in your library and rename the copy to be 'Nion Swift Data 10'. Then run Swift (or switch to the desired library within Swift) and allow Swift to upgrade the files. Two copies of the files will now exist, a set compatible with Swift 0.7 and a new set compatible with Swift 0.8. Changes to one set will not affect the other set, making it easy to switch between versions. Version 0.7.0, March 29, 2016 ----------------------------- * Change all processing menu items to use computations. Processed data can't be loaded in older versions of Swift. * Improve line plot display drawing when displaying with more pixels than channels. * Improve FFT performance, fix display limit bug. * Improve performance of dragging graphics and other mouse tracking. * Improve reliability of exiting application (making sure settings get saved). * Improve handling of inverted calibration units in FFT data (now display non-inverted). * Display FFT calibrations in polar coordinates. * Fix problem in calibrated length calculations when calibration offset is non-zero. * Fix problem of origin for FFT calibrations. * Add support for importing .npy files directly. Useful for debugging. * Separate data processing functions into their own nion.data module (open source). * Change versioning check in API.

You must use Nion Swift with Python 3.5 and NumPy 1.10. * Add a 'Choose...' dialog in Switch Workspace sub-menu for loading previous workspace. This makes it easier to choose from numerous workspaces. * New implementations of Python console and output windows. Some previous functionality (particularly up-arrow to repeat last command) is missing in new version. * Fix another issue with exporting individual data items under Linux. * Linux distribution now bundles Qt libraries. This eliminates the need to match the installed Qt version to the particular Nion Swift distribution. Version 0.5.8, December 29, 2015 -------------------------------- * Add draggable acquisition thumbnails to each controller panel (SuperScan, Camera, etc.). * Generate fewer data items by splitting library into persistent and temporary (live) sections and re-using existing data items for acquisition where possible. * Ensure that old tuning images get deleted when starting tuning. * Add ability to copy tuning output table from Task panel. * Handle arrow keys in grid/list views. Also do a better job of keeping selection in view. * Fix bugs on moving line plot intervals with arrow keys. Display intervals from line plot on the line profile itself. * Change click-to-shift to use S-click and T-click to avoid conflict with regular graphic dragging. * Add Metadata panel in the Window menu to view most metadata associated with a data item. * Add Session panel in the Window menu and session inspector. The session panel allows you to edit what data is copied to each acquisition. The session inspector views the data already attached to a specific data item. * Fix crash during the Export or Import dialogs. Also add additional export options to include the data item title in filename and more. * Simplify title bars of display panels and make them draggable.
