What's new in Antaeus 3.3 Build 3.3.66

Feb 26, 2011
  • Runtime error 9 (Subscript out of range) incurred in the Partition Dimensions SV when the cube contains no dimensions.
  • This has been corrected.

New in Antaeus 3.3 Build 3.3.65 (Nov 28, 2010)

  • Runtime error 438 (Object doesn't support this property or method) incurred in the Create Cube SV when the Create button in window 3 is used after using the Cancel button in window 56.
  • The conditions leading to this error have been circumvented by disabling the Cancel button in window 56 while the cube is being built. It is now only enabled after using the Pause button in window 56.
  • The user forum button in the main window has been changed to Support. It no longer links to the support forum. We removed the support forum due to its complete lack of use. The Support button now links to our contact page.

New in Antaeus 3.3 Build 3.3.64 (Oct 15, 2010)

  • This release introduces:
  • Scatter-Scatter Plot SV for comparing the relationship between two measures and a third by plotting them between three plots in a way that lines up the data points between them.
  • Partitioning SV has been replaced with the Partition Dimensions and Partition Measures SV. The Partition Dimensions SV allows you to create a generalized dimension from a more specific dimension. For instance, the 51 values of a "State" dimension can be partitioned into the 4 values of a new "Regions" dimension. The Partition Measures SV allows you to divide a scatter plot into regions that become the values of a new dimension.
  • Any measure can be set to use the logarithmic scale when plotted.
  • The main help screens accessed by clicking the "?" button in the SV Manager (the top left window in each SV which can't be moved) have all been rewritten to provide a complete overview of the SVs functionality. An "Overview" button has been added to the main window which brings up a help screen that provides a functional overview of Antaeus and all its SVs.

New in Antaeus 3.2 Build 3.2.69 (Mar 17, 2010)

  • Runtime error 9 (Subscript out of range) incurred in the Z-Space Exploration SV when selecting a slice from window 118 after selecting a measure from window 177 that caused window 118 to be updated with more slices than were previously listed. This has been corrected.
  • In the Separation Array SV, the red plot selection highlight is sometimes drawn in random locations in the Separation Array displayed in window 162.
  • The red highlight is now only shown at the time a plot is selected. Since there is no need to remember the selected plot in this SV between sessions, any change that refreshes the Separation Array in window 162 will cause the red highlight to go away.
  • Demo cubes have been updated so that the plots in array SVs are arranged more attractively.

New in Antaeus 3.1 Build 3.1.115 (Feb 10, 2010)

  • Fixes:
  • Runtime error 341 (Invalid control array index) sometimes incurred in the Separation SV when selecting a color from the color palette in window 76 after using the Clear button in window 32 to clear the current dimension of separation.
  • This bug has been isolated and corrected.
  • Runtime error 9 (Subscript out of range) sometimes incurred in the Quantile Plot Array SV when plotting the values of a dimension created from the Partitioning SV.
  • This has been corrected.
  • Runtime error 9 (Subscript out of range) sometimes incurred in the Functions SV when removing a function-measure.
  • This is an oversight that has been corrected.
  • A hard crash with runtime error 9 (Subscript out of range) infrequently incurred upon accessing the Separation SV just after creating a partitioned dimension in the Partitioning SV.
  • The anomaly behind this problem has been found and the problem has been corrected.
  • The wrong data points are assigned to a part in the Partitioning SV when a subset is used to define the part. This happens only when a subset other than the Universal Set (S-1) is being used as the active subset.
  • This rather major bug has been resolved.

New in Antaeus 3.1 Build 3.1.111 (Jan 26, 2010)

  • Fixes:
  • Runtime error 380 (Invalid property value) incurred when attempting to Update a brush in the Brushing SV that defines records not contained in the active subset.
  • This has been corrected.
  • When Separation is first applied using the Separation SV, Show Others is set to "No" by default in the Scatter Plot Display properties. This can cause some confusion when there are unseparated values.
  • Show Others is now set to "Yes" by default in the Scatter Plot Display properties.
  • When a subset is used as a brush, the wrong or non-existent data points are sometimes brushed in the Z-Space Exploration and Slice Array SVs.
  • This was caused by both logic and rounding errors, depending on the situation. The logic errors have been corrected, and the rounding errors have been studied and compensated for. These fixes have been extensively tested, and we are confident that brushed points can now be trusted in the Z-Space SVs. Bare in mind, however, that rounding errors are a product of mathematics and not errors in programming. We have compensated for them only as far as necessary in order to prevent confusion. If a brushed point looks out of place, we recommend that you look into it. There is every likeliness that this will lead to some new insight in relation to the data being studied.
  • The range of the Z-measure displayed for each plot in the Z-Space Slice Array SV is not updated when switching between Same Range and Same Count Slice Modes.
  • This has been corrected. The range of the Z-measure for each plot is now always updated.
  • The width of the histogram bars are not automatically updated when their sizes are changed in the Multi-Quantile Array SV.
  • This oversight has been corrected.
  • Function-measures created in the Functions SV sometimes disappear from the cube when a slide is selected that was added before the function-measure was created.
  • This has been corrected.
  • Runtime error 9 (Subscript out of range) incurred upon accessing the Dimension Array SV after removing a partitioned dimension using the Partitioning SV.
  • This has been fixed.

New in Antaeus 3.1 Build 3.1.104 (Jan 18, 2010)

  • There are several fixes and changes in release 3.1:
  • The Select Cube SV has been simplified to clean up the feel of the SV.
  • Some windows can now be hidden in certain SVs.
  • The Z-Space Exploration SV has been completely reinvented and is used with the new Z-Space Slice SV.
  • The Scatter Plot Tracks SV has been removed.
  • The Functions SV has been redesigned to improve the interface.
  • This release introduces:
  • Dimension Array of up to 9 separated scatter plots.
  • Separation Array of up to 36 solo scatter plots.
  • Z-Space Slice Array of up to 36 scatter plot intervals.
  • Multi-Quantile Array of up to 36 quantile plots for as many measures.
  • Redesigned Slides functionality that now allows slides to be created from the Scatter Plot Array, Scatter Plot Matrix, Dimension Array, Separation Array, Z-Space Exploration, Z-Space Slice Array, Sunflower Plot Matrix, Single Quantile Plot, Quantile Plot Array, and Multi-Quantile Array SVs.
  • Z-Score and Log transforms in the Functions

New in Antaeus 2.3 Build 2.3.60 (Sep 24, 2009)

  • File locators did not show mapped network drives in the Drives list.
  • This has been corrected. Mapped network drives are now listed in the Drives list.

New in Antaeus 2.3 Build 2.3.59 (Sep 24, 2009)

  • Window 48 in the Subsets SV does not list those records that are in the currently selected subset. Records are always listed starting from record #1.
  • This has been corrected. Now only those records that exist in the currently selected subset are displayed in window 48.

New in Antaeus 2.3 Build 2.3.58 (Sep 24, 2009)

  • Crashes and errors occur when accessing network locations from the Create Cube and Select Cube SVs.
  • Some of the problems associated with these errors have been corrected. However, some users may still get errors when accessing network locations. Please send error reports if you encounter them.
  • When a slide is saved in either the Single Sunflower Plot or the Double Sunflower Plot SV, the separated values of that slide's dimensions get mixed up when the slide is loaded again.
  • Rather than fixing this outright, we've decided to just not reload the separated values that were saved with the slide. This may cause confusion in some cases. If you want the separated values of the current dimension to be saved with the slide, then save your slide in either the Single Scatter Plot or the Double Scatter Plot SV. We plan to rewrite Slides for 2.4 using a more robust paradigm, so this will be fixed entirely in 2.4

New in Antaeus 2.3 Build 2.3.57 (Sep 7, 2009)

  • Fix:
  • Brushes were not being drawn in cubes that contain no dimensions. This oversight has been corrected.
  • Change:
  • Extra error handling has been added to help us track down the lock-out problem noted under build 2.3.56

  • The conditions that caused this have been isolated, allowing us to fix the problem.
  • The record count shown for the values of the dimension selected in window 69 of the Plot Array SV in the Univariate subsystem innaccurate.
  • Record counts are now accurately displayed.

  • Visual controls for plot SVs have been centralized in SV specific SV managers.
  • Six brush point styles have been added.
  • The subset library, in which a subset may be selected as the active subset or the brush, is now accessible from any SV within the multivariate and univariate subsystems by using the Subset button located in the MDI form.
  • Subsets can be defined visually using the Brushing SV under Scatter Plots or Density Plots in the multivariate subsystems, or by using Single Plots in the univariate subsystem.
  • In section 1 of the End User License Agreement, "Commercial Entity" has been redefined to include government entities.
