New in JMARS 3.1 (Apr 1, 2014)

  • General Changes:
  • JMARS now runs with US Localization, regardless of the user's system preferences. This is a workaround to prevent issues that have occurred when coordinates and numeric values use different delimeters in different environments.
  • Cut / Copy / Paste / Select all are now available via a pop-up menu on all text entry fields in JMARS
  • Shortcuts for the above all use the Ctrl key as their modifier (ctrl-x, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, ctrl-a)

  • Info tab now provides clickable http links to additional resources where available
  • Added forward and back buttons near the Lon/Lat box. The forward / back functionality has been available via the menu for some time and is otherwise unchanged.
  • Additional troubleshooting information in the help report

  • New Rover Traverse Layer:
  • View the location of Spirit, Opportunity or Curiosity on any day of their respective missions
  • See APXS and LIBS spectra and concentration information for publicly released observations
  • This is a brand new layer created by an external group and contributed back for use by the general JMARS community. More information can be found in their LPSC presentation here: http://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2014/pdf/1885.pdf
