SciDAVis Changelog

What's new in SciDAVis 1.D005

Feb 20, 2014
  • This release fixes a critical bug (#228) in the saving of template files

New in SciDAVis 0.2.4 (Apr 30, 2010)

  • Some parts of the Python API have been marked as deprecated and generate warnings when used. This may be a bit unusual for a bugfix release; on the other hand, they won't be removed any time soon and inserting the deprecation warnings now will give everyone as much time as possible for getting accustomed to the API we're moving towards.
  • lots of bugfixes, again including crashes
  • fixed compatibility issues with Qt 4.6 and SIP 4.9
  • performance improvements
  • substantially improved support for plots involving date/time data
  • added two Czech translations: a default one by Pavel Fric (feedback requested via http://fripohled.blogspot.com) and an alternative one by Jan Helebrant
  • updated Spanish translation, thanks to Mauricio Troviano; Brazilian Portuguese translation, thanks to Fellyp do Nascimento; and German translation
  • fixed and extended many parts of the API for Python scripts, including the new methods
  • multiple graphs can have active tools simultaneously
  • based on user feedback, the default behaviour when importing ASCII files has been changed to interpret the data as numeric (only applies to fresh installations of SciDAVis)
  • automatic resizing of table rows for multi-line cells intentionally dropped, because this seems to be rarely needed and has a huge impact on performance for large tables

New in SciDAVis 0.2.3 (Jul 8, 2009)

  • fixed many more bugs, including various crashes
  • performance improvements
  • improved pasting of cells from OpenOffice.org Calc and KSpread into tables
  • Brazilian Portuguese and German translations improved
  • Some build system fixes for building on MacOS X Tiger and detecting lupdate-qt4/lupdate
  • now also compatible with Qwt 5.2.0

New in SciDAVis 0.2.2 (Apr 20, 2009)

  • fixed opening of legacy files with non-numeric data
  • fixed various crashes
  • fixed importing of numeric data as new rows or overwriting the current table
  • fixed various issues with invalid/empty cells
  • implemented a more sophisticated file-saving protocol, which is supposed to protect against data loss in the event of a system crash shortly after saving the file; see http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/317781/comments/54
  • performance improvements
  • Python function Table.importASCII() reimplemented, which was missing in SciDAVis 0.2.0 and 0.2.1.
