ODV Release 5.8.0 (Windows, macOS, Linux) Jan/26/2025:
- New native version for Windows on Arm systems (installation package name: odv__win_arm64.exe).
- Support for dark mode added. Values in the list windows on the right are now shown in light colors and clearly visible.
- Quality flag mappings from all other schemes to QUARTOD scheme corrected.
- New string valued derived variable DRVDVART::ISODATETIME ISO Date Time (time variable.
- Axis range synchronization between different data windows is now a property of the view. Use the new View > View Properties option to switch this feature on or off.
- Axis range synchronization of parent and overlay windows can now be switched off.
- New Clipboard Copy menu option when right-clicking on meta- or data variable values in the list windows copies the respective value to the clipboard.
- SCATTER windows do no longer load data if a certain limit on the number of data points is exceeded. The default maximum data count is 250,000,000. Users can overwrite this value via View > Settings > View > Data Count Limit.
- Ranges of Day of Year axis of data windows can now exceed the [0, 365] interval. Shifted data will be added in the extended parts. This is useful when calculating fitted curves. Once the fitted curves are calculated and shown in the data window, the ranges can be restored to [0, 365].
- The Spreadsheet and SeaDataNet importers no longer break stations by time tolerance if importing time series data.
- The Argo profile importer now ignores the Pressure displacement… variables. This reduces the size of the import collection by about 20%.
- Import of EMODnet marine litter datasets was improved by adapting the SDN importer as well as the sdn_import_settings.xml file.
- Collections created by the WHP Formats importers now have the Cruise Information Link meta variable instead of the Cruise Report meta variable. The Cruise Information Link values are clickable links and open the respective CCHDO cruise page in the web browser. Links to cruise reports are available on the CCHDO cruise pages. Pdf documents found in the input data directory are no longer packaged into the import collection.
- The Z-label of overlay windows is now placed just above the Z-label of the parent window.
- Contours exported as graphics objects via Extras > Export as Graphics Object > Contour Lines are now properly clipped.
- The SDN harmonization settings file was extended and includes more contaminants.
- PostScript (.eps)* no longer supported as graphics output format.
