New in Columbus Viewer 1.1.0 (May 16, 2011)

  • New Features:
  • ColumbusViewer now supports V-900 complex files.
  • Bug fixes:
  • Improved error handling when loading files: ColumbusViewer should now complain if the file to load is not a ColumbusV900 file. (Technically, ColumbusViewer checks the header string of the file to load and signals an error if the header is not that of a Columbus V-900 file.)

  • New Features:
  • A preference window now allows users to specify the speeds used to compute statistics and to colour the dots in the paths.

  • The format of the preference file has been changed. It is possible that ColumbusViewer will reset the position of windows the first time it is run after the upgrade.
