RDV
Version 1.9.0


NEW FEATURES

  - Support for panning and zooming of an image. A clickable navigation image
    can be used to jump around parts of an image when zoomed in.
  - Filmstrip interface to view images
  - Support for viewing a thumbnail of an image to conserve bandwidth.
  - Support for PNG and GIF images.
  - DialViz, a visualization extension to view a numeric data channel on a dial.
  - Export of data to the MATLAB MAT-file format.
  - Cursors on an XY plot to indicate the current data point in a series.
  - Support for port knocking authentication.
  

BUG FIXES

  - [4] Can't connect to RBNB server with circular references.
  - [5] Children of shortcut servers aren't shown in channel list.


CHANGES

  - All RDV class were moved to the "org.rdv" package.
  - Plots set to auto range, don't always include zero anymore.
  - The system look & feel is used now, so RDV should look more native to the
    platform it is running on.
RDV 1.9.0 Release Notes

RDV is a visualization environment for scientific and engineering data. Built on
top of the RBNB dynamic data server, it supports local and remote data sources
and can visualize numeric, video, image, and audio data in a number of different
ways.

See http://rdv.googlecode.com/ for information on RDV.

This release contains significant new features for viewing images and video, a
new dial visualization, and support for exporting MATLAB files. A number of
smaller improvements for plotting have been added in addition to a few bug
fixes.
