Release Notes

The purpose of this section is to provide a description of a NASAView release including any impact that the new or modified capabilities will have on the Discipline Nodes or the PDS user community. A somewhat itemized list of changes for each release can be found on the Release Changes page.

Release 3.1.0

This is a maintenance release of NASAView, which includes a more detailed user guide and bug fixes in response to the beta testing performed in the previous release of the tool.

The major fixes for this release are:

  • Providing multi-banded, JPEG-2000 image support.
  • Fixing a program crash when attempting to save an image as a JPEG.

Release 3.0.0

This release of the NASAView represents the beta release for JPEG-2000 and improved Mac OS X support.

The major changes fo r this release are as follows:

  • Support for JPEG-2000 in accordance with SCR-3-1003

    NASAView now supports the display of PDS labeled JPEG-2000 images. This capability was aided by the integration of the Kakadu JPEG2000 Software Developer Kit .

  • Support for Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above

    Several enhancements were made to NASAView to better function on the Mac OS X platform. There are still some limitations with the XVT Portability Toolkit ™ for the Mac, which causes limitations on image sizes. This is detailed in the liens section below.

  • Miscellaneous Bug Fixes

    Also includes support for CONTAINER objects with long names, better messages when format files cannot be found, better display of 32-bit multi-banded images and display MOC image for "Full Label" menu selection.

The liens for this release are as follows:

  • Mac OS X Image Size Restriction

    Image sizes will be restricted to about 2000 x 2000. To view the rest of an image greater than this size, use the Large Image Selection menu item. See the Tool Execution portion of the Use and Operation section for a detailed description on this menu item selection.

  • Mac OS X Help Menu

    Selecting items from the Help menu causes undefined behavior. We suggest that user just stay from that menu until we can address these issues.
