ReefMaster Changelog

What's new in ReefMaster 2.1.49.0

Jul 10, 2020
  • Sidescan channel now imported correctly when depths are missing in the original SL2 or SL3 sonar log file Note that the ReefMaster generated IDX file will need to be deleted manually to force the re-importing of any previously imported affected files The IDX will be in the same disk location and have the same name as the original sonar log file, with the addition of the IDX extension
  • Added sentence selection window during NMEA log file import to avoid the problem of importing GLL and/or GGA messages with no date information (prefer RMC instead, if available)
  • USR version 4 and 5 waypoint and trail support (import only)
  • Fixed issue of truncated shaded relief map in maps with very large depth ranges
  • Fixed triangulation error that could occasionally result in some small map anomolies
  • Fixed issues with sidescan mosaic ordering during export
  • Fixed AT5 raster type issue producing raster maps with wrong layer type on some recent Lowrance units
  • Fixed error when opening MBTiles files from some third party providers

New in ReefMaster 2.1.46.0 (Jul 2, 2019)

  • Fixed bug that meant tide times were not always correctly applied.
  • Added button in individual sonar channel control panels to allow current settings to be used as the default when opening new sonar log files. Note that default settings apply only to logs that are opened for the first time - changing default settings won't have any effect when opening sonar log that have previously been opened, as those settings would already have been persisted on a per-log basis.

New in ReefMaster 2.1.45.0 (Jun 5, 2019)

  • Features:
  • Sonar viewer preferences now persisted and restored.
  • User configurable background WMTS and HTTP map sources. Note that WMTS maps are limited to the web mercator (EPSG 3857/900913) projection.
  • EPSG code can now be used to specify datum/projection when importing text file data.
  • Store full ping length data to ReefMaster IDX files, allowing higher resolution sonar and sidescan mosaic in some cases. To take advantage of this, you must manually delete existing ReefMaster-generated .IDX files (NB *not* the Humminbird generated index files with the same extension) and allow RM to recreate them.
  • Import and export of track-point times in CSV format, including milliseconds.
  • Added a new palette for sidescan.
  • Fixes:
  • Fixed import issue for some new HB files.
  • Fixed occasional crash when exporting SS mosaic in software-only rendering mode.
  • Fixed incorrect upgrade links for volumes and areas and sidescan mosaic.
  • Fixed KML import failure when referenced visual style not found in document.
  • Correctly populate "name" field in MBTiles export.
  • Fixed occasional MBTiles image import issue with monochrome images.
  • Spot depths now used when exporting to ESRI grid.
  • Fixed issue with failure to import Humminbird sonar log files when 360 sonar log files are also present
  • Fixed crash when trying to locate missing background files when original drive is no longer available
  • Fixed range issue with raster clipping to polygon when exporting project image files

New in ReefMaster 2.0.40.0 (Aug 3, 2018)

  • Support for updated SLG Lowrance file format.
  • Support for Toslon sonar log files.
  • Only visible waypoints are now exported as part of project image export.
  • Fixed problem with sidescan mosaic exports with certain custom palettes.
  • Fixed crash on startup when user config file has become corrupted.
