Release Dates

  • Results Visualization 2.6.3 - 19 Feb 2021

  • Results Visualization 2.6.2 - 13 Nov 2020

  • Results Visualization 2.6.1 - 05 Aug 2020

  • Results Visualization 2.6.0 - 08 May 2020

General

  • Due to a break in event_pipe compatibility, AER files from 2.5 or earlier can no longer be played in the application. (Issue #1797)

Known Issues

  • The Video and Screenshot capability fails to capture the openGL windows on some computers. This appears to be related to the configuration of the computer.

  • On Windows, when running Results Visualization as administrator, the thumbnails buttons that appear when hovering over the Results Visualization icon on the Window’s taskbar do not appear. Windows Media Player has this same issue so it is likely a Windows OS issue.

  • There is a QT issue (QTBUG-7556) when using Windows 7 and NVidia graphics cards where context menus do not show in full screen mode.

  • There is one frame of latency between the elevation lines and the rest of the scene.

  • Loading of TIFF files on Linux may lead to a crash. This may apply to visual databases and using .tif files as annotation images.

Enhancements

  • Added visualization of the solar terminator, sub-solar-point, and solar-path in the Map Display. (Issue #1531)

  • Added solar lighting to the Map Display and Tether View. (Issue #1531)

  • Added visual model-sets. Defining a model’s set as immersive will cause it to be used in Tether View in place of the standard Map Display icon. (Issue #1579)

  • Platform labels on the Map Display will now hide when behind the earth. (Issue #1681)

  • Data entries in the Platform Details display may be hidden from the right-click menu. (Issue #1691)

  • Added the map layer manager to add layers to the map from imagery and vector data. (Issue #1726)

  • An editing dialog will immediately be shown when creating a Point of Interest (Map Annotations). Additionally, POIs and Bullseyes are moved using ctrl-left click. (Issue #1732)

  • Range rings (Map Annotations) can now be toggled between aligning with the platform or true north. (Issue #1860)

  • Allow the camera to be placed much farther from the earth, and properly draw the moon in orbit in the Map Display and Tether View. (Issue #1908)

  • Added the ability to scale and to set the lifetime of explosions created in the Map Display by the Visual Effects plugin. (Issue #1911)

  • Added the ability to define the position and diameter of a model’s engines. (Issue #1911)

  • Added the Map Toolbar to save and recall interesting camera views. (Issue #1935)

Development

  • (2.6.1) To address a memory-related issue resulting from the update to Qt 5.12, the method wkf::Environment::GetEntityContextMenu has been renamed to BuildEntityContextMenu and its signature changed. (Issue #2378)

  • (2.6.1) Updated the following third party libraries to address security vulnerabilities: SQLite from 3.31.1 to 3.32.3 and Qt from 5.9.7 to 5.12.9. (Issue #2301)

  • (2.6.1) Corrected an issue with configuration of 3rd party and resource dependencies which resulted in a CMake error if no source location was detected containing archived packages, even if a location of the unpacked contents was configured. (Issue #2277)

  • Relaxed the compiler version check for compatible plugins on Windows (MSVC). Only the first two digits, indicating C++ toolset major number and binary compatibility, are compared to those of the host application. (ELSZ #133)

  • Added the directory containing plugins to library search path for Windows to allow plugins to have dependencies on other plugins. (ELSZ #172)

  • Renamed the CMake cache entry for specifying the path to 3rd_party libraries from CMAKE_THIRD_PARTY_ROOT to SWDEV_THIRD_PARTY_ROOT, and made the configuring of 3rd_party package location and unpacking more flexible. (ELSZ #240)

  • The method AddMenu() has been removed from WkfMainWindow and replaced with the new method FindOrCreateMenu(). The FindOrCreateMenu() method ensures that all menus added to WkfMainWindow can be located via the GetMenuByName() method. (ELSZ 297)

  • AFSIM has officially deprecated the 32-bit compilation option starting in version 2.6. Not all AFSIM features are 32-bit compatible.

  • CMake cache entry WSF_ADD_EXTENSION_PATH can now specify multiple search paths for plugins in a ;-separated list. (Issue #1649)

  • Updated OSG from 3.4.1 to 3.6.3 for new features. (Issue #1767)

  • Updated OSGEarth from 2.7.0 to 2.10.1 for new features. (Issue #1767)

  • Toggle graphics stats for the Map Display is now bound to a wkf::Action in the Developer Menu, and off the F10 key. (Issue #1801)

  • The option to toggle the polygon-draw mode in the Map Display is now bound to a wkf::Action in the Developer Menu. (Issue #1801)

  • Added DISPLAY_PRECEDENCE value to platform data and platform options tree items to allow some control of display order. (Issue #1807)

  • Updated FFMPEG from 4.1.4 to 4.2.1 to resolve critical vulnerabilities. (Issue #1816)

  • The Preferences Dialog now uses a new virtual function PrefWidget::GetCategoryHint() along with the PrefWidget’s windowTitle() to construct the list of options within the dialog. (Issue #1970)

  • Updated the following third party libraries: GDAL from 2.0.3 to 3.0.4, Proj from 4.9.3 to 7.0.0, Tiff from 4.0.9 to 4.1.0, and SQLite from 3.29.0 to 3.31.1. (Issue #2140)
