  • bugfix: "show in Autoplot" button would now raise the window immediately to show that action has occurred, and progress bars are visible
  • support http://autoplot.org/autoplot.jnlp?version=devel&URI kludge, so that references to this version can be used.
  • 1331: autorange failure with cdfTT2000 timetags for waveform data on 2014-02-01. Thanks Patrice for pointing out this bug!
  • 1330: qds supports aggregation of two time intervals.
  • Demo1 then Demo2 showed where DEFAULT_TIME (2010-01-01) was used as an option.
  • look for AUTOPLOT_DATA/config/logging.properties.
  • bug 1327: blur URI causes das2server to loose resolution.
  • correct misspelling/typo of addCapability after years without noticing. Yeah code completion!
  • getDataSet menu option completion now correctly checks for var= to see if the user has already corrected the name.
  • 1326: aggregations are no longer guaranteed monotonic. See ensureMonotonic to correct.
  • allow vap+qds:/tmp/foo.dqt to work. Before it was using the extension.
  • bugfix: support eventsListUri in vap file.
  • 1326: new aggregation monotonic rule causes too many problems. Initial code to just sort the data.
  • das2stream reader detects when a qstream is input.
  • Events List tool handles exceptions properly.
  • 1321: improvements to the IDL bridge, after trying to read 5M points of magnetometer data. Thanks, Kris!
  • 1321: IDL bridge preserves TT2000 longs.
  • 1322: aggregation supports NIO BufferDataSets that come out of the CDF reader. (Whoops!)
  • 1323: "no valid y tags" message caused by fill in DELTA_PLUS when DELTA_PLUS wasn't really needed. Thanks, Seth!
  • 1317: result of fftPower hints that log scale type should be used.
  • 1315: keep track of das2server key so the user is prompted just once per session.
  • turn on word wrap in runtime error submit form.
  • Thin client support finally catches errors instead of leaving the progress wheel spinning.
  • corrections to FiltersEditorPanel, such as allowing for float arguments and medianFilter.

New in Autoplot 2013 Alpha 16 (Oct 17, 2013)

  • 1076: width=0 causes runtime error dialog (this is probably fixed, I couldn't demo the bug)
  • rte_0956688396: ArrayIndexOutOfBounds with reset zoom
  • rte_1219433822: Runtime error with export data when no option can be selected but "okay" is pressed.
  • 1112: poor adapt of legacy TableDataSet from das2server
  • 1111: AutoplotDataServer looks for $H in granules, switches to process by hour.
  • 1104: new cache problems, in-memory cache limited to 5 seconds.
  • 1106: contours render, copy plot elements down.
  • 1109: vap setting of zaxis range not respected
  • 1110: allow cdaweb master file to override LABL_PTR_1

New in Autoplot 2011 Alpha 6 (Jan 16, 2012)

  • Bugfixes:
  • 3469219: handle units in append. For example LANL has files where timetags are always from start of day
  • bugfix: Turns out "ms since 1992-09-13T00:00" in a QStream would not be interpreted as a time. Now SemanticOps.lookupUnits is used.
  • bugfix: rank3 copyValues IDL/Matlab adapter failed because the length(i0) was used instead of length(i0,i1), leaving result mostly zeroes.
  • bugfix: migrate changes from the CDF Java library to support the same virtual variables
  • 3469880: tooltips should go on field labels, not on the label itself.
  • bugfix: getParam( 'timerange', '1997-Jan' ) wouldn't support TimeSeriesBrowse because "Jan" was not [a-z]*
  • updates to auralizeTool so that it works again
  • clean up aggregate GUI, so previews are shown and one code is used to form aggregations
  • bugfix: extra messages "autolayout was set to false" because all prefs were read just to get NN
  • profiling to find problem spots for long batch runs
  • 3471016: move more GUI operations to event thread to avoid deadlocks
  • ytagsDataSet gave Y[X] -> indgen() instead of Y.
  • bugfix: digital renderer color was not bound to foreground color.
  • bugfix: rank 2 [:,[X,Y,Z]] scheme supported in SeriesRenderer.
  • update contour function to return bundle [:,[X,Y,Z]]
  • bugfix: python supports ds[:,0] as unbundle, before it would drop metadata making it useless for bundles
  • bugfix: in plotx, allow symbol='stars' by loosing up code that looks for values in enumeration
  • bugfix: guard against ordinal units getting into axis setting.
  • bugfix: rank 4 was never coded for TrimStrideWrapper.java, so python ds[:,:,:,4:6] would fail, clean up to today's qdataset
  • bugfix: python supports ds[:,0] as shorthand for unbundle, before it would drop metadata making it useless for bundles
  • Older Bugfixes:
  • bugfix: qstreams would not look up time location units like "ms since 1992-09-20T00:00:00.000Z"
  • 3237397: gaps in das2 spectrograms
  • 3469219: handle units in append. Before we would assume the units were unchanging and wouldn't check for this.
  • bugfix: UNITS were set in Jython applyBinaryOp, when the caller should set the units. This would result in "200 s" / "10 s" = "20 s"
  • bugfixes with CDF reader metadata with high-rank CDF files.
  • bugfix: where didn't check for fill data, and eq returns fill.
  • bugfix: improvements to NN rendering, where single points were not enlarged
  • bugfix: old kludge for dimensionless values in vap files removed to fix pitch angle distributions
  • bugfix: pitch angle distribution renderer was flipped left-to-right! This is still young code. Please let us know if you were affected!
  • bugfix: bottom plot can provide context for top plot when connector is used.
  • Features:
  • guessNameFor(URI) introduced, and Jython script getDataSet completion attempts to suggest better name than "ds"
  • add fftPowerDelta1024 to CDF virtual variable functions
  • improve support for filesystem completions like .../1wire/dot4_data/$Y/$m/$d/10.
  • LSpec code updated to work with today's Autoplot, and included in single-jar release
  • NetCDF/HDF5 reader supports constraints like ds[0:10] to allow read of huge files.
  • box zoom detected and described efficiently in undo list
  • add Ops.flatten function, before we had only flattenRank2
  • introduce SemanticOps.getLooseUnitsConverter, which allows a ratiometric unit to be compared to a dimensionless. (2 kg).gt(1)
  • simplify code and allow ds[r] to be used where ds is rank 2 and r is rank 1
  • Less recent features:
  • add mkdir function to ScriptContext.
  • getDataSet completion in Jython editor guesses default name from URI instead of "ds"
  • support ISTP metadata in NC and HDF5 files for LANL
  • automatically treat -1e99 as fill in NC and HDF5 files.
  • handle ISO8601 formatted times in HDF5 and NC files. The CDF folks and LANL were both producing files like this.
  • add icon for events renderer
  • writeToPng and writeToPdf in scripts will now make the directory if it doesn't exist.
