Release Notes

The purpose of this section is to provide a description of a Validation Tool 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. If viewing this document in PDF form, see the appendix for details.

Release 2.0.1

The operational release of the Validation Tool software incorporating the Phase II capability supporting validation of catalog files. This release includes some minor modifications regarding how catalog pointers are handled based on beta testing results.

Release 2.0.0

This release of the Validation Tool software incorporates the Phase II capability supporting validation of catalog files and was released to the Technical Staff for beta testing.

The major change for this release is the addition of support for validating catalog files, either standalone or as a set within a CATALOG directory. Modifications to support this capability included a general change with regard to how pointers are handled as well as relaxing some of the PDS Label constraints where catalog files do not conform to those constraints. The result is that catalog files are now validated correctly and the spurious messages that were previously produced have been eliminated.

Other changes in this release include:

  • Correct validation of quoted date/time strings. Date/time strings may not be quoted when associated with an element that is defined with one of the DATE data types.
  • Fixed a spacing issue seen in the validation report on the Mac platform.
