Note: Changing cursor-look seems to have memory leak in Linux, and gives error message in Windows (probably causing memory leak as well). -> preview: Help button preview is now under View menu Compile options: -> Compilable for GTK2.0 -> Compilable without GTK at all (for commandline usage) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.07 New: -> lon/lat lines in NOAA pics (preview, exported) -> lon/lat position of cursor for NOAA pics (in preview window) -> Plate carree (sort of...) mapping for Geostat. sats -> overlay, AVHRR linearize settings independent for each preview window -> freeze colour mapping for each preview window -> some non-gui options added Bug fixed: -> Several crash situations solved: - reload during record (updating) - close preview window during window update ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.06d Bug fixed: -> Windows: archive Update list fixed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.06c Bug fixed: -> LRIT JPEG fixed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.06b Bug fixed: -> File write in case of zoom < 1: zoom set to 1 (generate from preview, full zoom, view window not square....) -> Messages "Can'topen for write" etc.: File name added. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.06a Bug fixed: -> AVHRR GAC width of 409 -> auto-lum for lums > 4096 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.06 -> AVHRR: METOP -> AVHRR mode added -> archive: Separate dirs for year/month/day -> rah format: Kepler data is added if noaa.txt exist ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.05c Bug fixes: -> allow space in name of path to bzip2 -> remove temp files ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.05b Bug fixes: -> unknown files were deleted during update, even if delete wasnot activated. -> name of archive dir probably in some case mixed-up with received dir ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.05a Next bugs fixed: -> bzip2 not always recognized (Windows only) (working dir unequal to program dir, bzip2 installed in prog_dir) -> program aborts in some cases -> rah format: -> satellite name NOAA: space between NOAA and number (as in norad orbit files) -> fill in computer time (needed for HrptReader) -> record: auto delete didn't work correctly -> sorting AVHRR on time, not always at bottom list -> AVHRR: Channel buttons in Translate window (export) -> preview: strange behav. after autolum ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.05 -> AVHRR: -> translation to rah added -> default colour map added -> delete via menu now possible -> MFG: -> overlay non-MSG fixed -> preview: -> immediately square pixels -> pressing autolum during redraw: no extra redraw needed -> export: -> cancel now works much faster (no complete generation of current pic) -> if preview window in 'Files' window is used (for zoomed export) now size of pics to translate are checked against size of pic in preview. -> archive: -> archive dir may now be anywhere (def.: archive under received, as was) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.04_beta_3 -> bzip2 on files with spaces in name/path fixed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.04_beta_2 -> check bzip2 avaiability -> remove temp files if bzip2 did fail -> segment grouping AVHRR fixed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.04_beta -> AVHRR support added, -> Read Taylor jpeg files from Data Manager ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.02c -> Bug fix: Overlay in generated pics was gone ('lum=0') ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.02b -> Bug fix: In record window: 'Don't delete Unknown' didn't work correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.02a -> Bug fix: black overlay (in certain circumstances) fixed. -> overlay colour adaption -> dim overlay also in non-anaglyphs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.02 -> Create zoomed/adapted movies or multiple pictures. (adapted: luminance mapping, anaglyph settings) -> Several Anaglyph settings added ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.01c -> Bug fix: movies: 'Reuse' didn't work properly for windows ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.01b -> Bug fix: speed AVI corrected ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.01a -> Bug fix: remove first channel from colour map before starting preview caused crash ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2006.01 -> Browser for exported (translated) pics . view pics/movies with external viewer . delete selected items -> Browser for temp. files (used for movie generation) ->Saving from preview window now saves picture as shown: . zoomed . taking into account luminance settings (Lmin and Lmax) -> colour mapping for several preview windows kept separate as long as mapping window is closed -> Method of removing temp. movie pictures changed (pics used for movie are removed, if requested) -> Generate example script for raw data Bug fix: 'Fixed' mappings for dust and fog movie generation (were not always complete) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.12a Bug fix: make sav dir and move jpeg to it, only important if mencoder is used for movie generation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.12 -> Anaglyph (3D) generation -> Built-in AVI generator (mencoder not needed anymore) -> Adding of date/time info to pictures/movies -> 'Fixed' mappings for airmass, dust and fog -> Bug fix: Activating external viewer: Upside down JPEG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.11a -> Bug fix: possible crash in Hires Fast mode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.11 -> Automatic generation of files (incl. growing movies) -> Inverting exported pics -> Problem inverting pics in multiple previews fixed -> 'Moving' lower-part HRV ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.10b Bug fix: ordering channels was lost ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.10a Bug fix: Record: -> crash during cont. update, and if 'Remove received' is active. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.10 -> Added offset RGB for false colour pics -> non-gui mode: added options for channel mapping onto colours (now same possibilities as in gui) Bug fix: -> Preview window: Zooming centered around cursor now also works first time (short key 'I') ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.08b Bug fixes: -> nogui mode colour generation -> missing hrvlum option added, for hires colour generation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.08a Bug fixes: -> Overlay type did 'interfere' with picture type for item 'All'. -> HRV shift not always correct, even if prologue file was available. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.08 -> High resolution false colour pictures using HRV for luminance and other channels for chrominance (e.g. VIS006/VIS008/IR_016). Button in main window: Hires. -> Speeding up redrawing composed pictures in preview window. See menu in preview window: View -> fast. -> Movie generation: Check before reusing files if size is correct. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.07b -> Bug fix: default received dir changed to: c:\Program Files\T-Systems\BusinessTV-IP\received\ ^--space removed! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.07a -> Some big memory leaks removed Release notes xrit2pic 2005.07 -> File management functionality added: archive data delete data etc. -> Reordered some buttons, especially 'record' button (added tab 'record') -> Default received dir for Windows changed to: c:\Program Files\T-Systems\Business TV-IP\received\ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.06a Bugfix: -> 'Limit drawable' setting forced to 'always on' (bug in 'off' mode; 'on' is better anyway) -> Message 'no overlay available' immediately instead of at end of translation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.06 New: -> 'Live' window: added: zooming/panning -> HRV: upper part shifted to fit with lower part coast lines now fit Combining HRV and non-HRV channels possible Preview HRV much faster Bug fix: -> Mapping channels on colours enhanced (negative contributions did give sometimes wrong results in previous version) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.05 New: -> Europe selection (for pic preview, generation and movies) Movie generation: -> Choice of removing, replacing or reusing translated files for movie Colour selection: -> More than 1 channel for each colour -> Multi. factor for contribution of each channel to any colour (substraction also possible) pop-up windows: -> Selection kept if selection in main window is changed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.02a Bug fix: -> Temp. files were not always removed; show during receive stopped. Fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2005.02 Generation movies: -> It is now possible to keep generated jpeg files for movie generation. Regeneration of big movies is then much faster. Translate list: -> Lock on translate list during generation of files. Windows: -> For proper non-gui mode xrit2pic will now be started in a shell. Adding several xrit2pic non-gui's into one .bat file is now possible, as well as adding e.g. delete commands in-between. As a consequence a shell/DOS window will pop-up in gui mode, if you start xrit2pic via a link (icon). You can 'suppress' this window by changing the icon's property 'execute' into 'minimalized'. (don't know exact names of properties; in Dutch: Eigenschappen: Uitvoeren: Geminimaliseerd). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2004.11 New: -> Preferences: Load defaults button added generation movies: -> Movies are now generated by first generating all files, and then generate avi file using mencoder. This solves the 'non-moving movie' problem if Windows mediaplayer is used for playback. IMPORTANT: For this release different mencoder options are needed! Use the 'Load default' button to set everything to default. If you don't want to loose your preferences just clear the mencoder command in preferences completely, click on 'Save it' and restart the program. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2004.10.a Bugfix: -> closing progress window using 'X' caused program crash ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2004.10 New: -> PGM 8 bits generation from HRIT 10-bits Wavelet -> Save/restore of gui-state -> Preview window: Extra low-mem mode, much faster if highly zoomed in ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2004.09 New: -> non-gui mode: generation of color pictures (option '-color') -> Auto-remove of selected channels during record -> "Life" pictures also in color during record -> exporting of all non-picture data into binary files (also in non-gui mode) -> disk choice button in Windows version ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2004.07 New: -> Generation of movie files (avi, mpeg etc.) (needs external program) -> generate files using selected segments (also movie) -> skip incomplete pictures (missing segments) (also in movie mode) -> list available overlay files in gui (menu Files->Show overlay files) Fixed: -> gui: Lat numbers near segments shown in tree now make a bit sense Note: generation of movie files needs program 'mencoder'. mencoder is part of the mplayer package, which is freely downloadable. For Linux see: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases For Windows see: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32-beta See for more info the manual. Note: Movie generation is tested under Linux using mencoder/mplayer; and works fine. Under Windows it should also work, but I didn't succeed yet. As far as I can see this is just a mencoder/codecs installing issue (for generation) and probably a postprocessing needed (to get it working under Windows Media player). This is all very new for me, so I need to spend some more time on it. Suggestions are welcome! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release notes xrit2pic 2004.05.P1, P2 Fixed: -> Meteosat MTP recognized; apparently dissemination satellite changed from MSG1 into MTP (actually, it is Hotbird...) -> Segments of same type, time and year but different date are now put into different groups ('blue lines') as it should be. This also fixes generation in non-gui mode if segments of different dates are in same directory. -> NOAA LRIT grouping fixed New: -> Overlay of coast lines. Get overlay files from: http://www.eumetsat.de/en/dps/helpdesk/tools.html#coastline Overlay is possible in preview and generated files, except of jpeg files. (This is because jpeg files are constructed directly from the received jpeg pieces, without decoding/encoding.) -> 'Preview' becomes a bit more 'View': zooming possible. -> xrit2pic.ini: init-file will be seached at 3 places: 1. current directory (dir. where xrit2pic was started) 2. home directory (Linux: /home/, Windows: c:\) 3. Same dir. where program is located Search is done in this order; first found is taken. Same holds for the overlay files. See manual for more details. Note: Some of the buttons in the gui are moved. I try to prevent this as much as possible, but sometimes it makes sense to put buttons on a more logical place. Also, I try to make the xrit2pic window as compact as possible.
