What's new in jOcular 0.033

Feb 29, 2016
  • Summary:
  • removed 2d view.
  • added new pan tool

New in jOcular 0.032 (Feb 29, 2016)

  • Summary:
  • switched to newer jReality
  • now runs straight from jar without external libraries
  • 3D improved a bunch
  • Bug fixes:
  • various

New in jOcular 0.031 (Dec 29, 2014)

  • The big change is the autofocus dialog now allows solving for multiple parameters simultaneously and the configuration of it is stored in the autofocus sensor. This means multiple sensors can be added to a project to solve for various things and once each has been configured they can be re-run whenever desired.
  • Multi-parameter solving is a bit touchy but it seems to work. You may find it head into the weeks now and again. Single parameter solving is pretty solid.

New in jOcular 0.030 Prealpha (Sep 30, 2014)

  • Mainly autofocus - see Autofocus test.jocproj in the test files folder
  • Various bug fixes.

New in jOcular 0.029 (Aug 16, 2014)

  • A number of new materials: Magnesium Fluoride, Calcite, Topas, Shiny Metal (perfectly reflective)
  • Image sources can now limit their emitted photons to a radial aperture at a distance to increase computational efficiency
  • All numerical parameters can now include mathematical operators as well as units
  • Objects can now be suppressed in the project tree so they can be there without participating in the simulation. This is handy for experimenting with films, or putting imagers part-way through an optical system.

New in jOcular 0.028 (Feb 25, 2014)

  • Now has spectrophotometer and beginnings of birefringence.
  • Bug fixes

New in jOcular 0.027 (Dec 17, 2013)

  • Summary:
  • Added new 3D view of optical system that uses jReality.
  • New Features:
  • 3D view
  • Able to pan, rotate, zoom using mouse
  • middle mouse button zooms
  • left click and hold rotates (Must click on object)
  • middle click and hold to pan (Must click on object)
  • Spectrophotomer object
  • Prompt to save project if it has changed
  • Hotkeys are now available for common functions
  • Check out drop-down menus for key combinations
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixes to undo/redo operations related to type of positioner use

New in jOcular 0.026 (Nov 22, 2013)

  • Fixed a bug where some internal resources could not be loaded from the JAR file.

New in jOcular 0.024 (Oct 29, 2013)

  • New:
  • Cut & paste functionality.
  • Can selectively sum images with or without phase. This is in the settings.
  • You can query a lens to determine it's focal length according to the lensmaker's equation
  • You can export a csv of all optical materials. This is really just for testing.
  • There's some limited help now. It just links to the jocular wiki
  • There are simple apertures now (pin holes)
  • Two material interfaces really close together < 1pm are considered to be touching now
