                            ==================
                             ImageVis3D 2.1.1
                            ==================

The ImageVis3D team is proud to announce the release of ImageVis3D
2.1.1!

ImageVis3D is a desktop volume rendering application which was designed
to visualize large data.  Support is available for multiple rendering
modes, such as 1D and 2D transfer functions, isosurface rendering,
as well as specialized modes such as MIP and slice views.  On modern
systems, ImageVis3D's GPU-accelerated rendering delivers incredible
performance, while compatibility options exist to allow ImageVis3D to
perform adequately on older systems.

ImageVis3D 2.1.1 is a minor release, concentrating mostly on bugfixes.
Changes since 2.1.0 include:

New Features
------------

  * Added support for GeomView files.

Bugs fixed in this release
--------------------------

  * Fixed ClearView crash.

  * Fixed clipping plane transformations. Clipping planes now behave
    as they did prior to 2.1.0.

  * Fixed a crash which could occur when converting MetaMorph files.

  * Fixed a data corruption bug when converting from certain types of 
    'wide' data types.

Changes which are only of interest to developers
------------------------------------------------

  * Transitioned to C++11.

  * Clang is now the default compiler on Mac.

Known issues with this release
------------------------------

  * There is a known issue converting color data in a single TIFF file.

  * The 'Stack' ("stk"), single-file TIFF volume, and Fraunhofer EZRT
    ("rek") file formats can only be read, not written.

  * The 'Brick Of Values' (BOV) reader does not support BOVs in which
    the data are split across multiple files.

  * RGB[A] are the only kinds of multicomponent data supported.

  * NVIDIA GPUs on Linux expose a driver issue which can hang the
    system for prolonged periods of time.  To workaround this issue, we
    recommend sticking with the slice based volume renderer Linux for
    this release.

  * Full-color data sets do not display a proper histogram in the
    transfer function editors.

  * In any mode but MIP, the 'Recorder' always uses the highest resolution
    data, regardless of any other settings.

  * In the "Disable LOD" mode of MIP Recordings, progress information
    is not given.  Progress is being made; a visibly-correct rendering is
    not required to create an on-disk image which is visibly correct.

ImageVis3D 2.1.1 supports Intel Macs 10.7 and up (10.8.0 recommended),
Windows, and Linux.  Binaries are available at:


the 'developer builds' site:


the 'sci' PPA on Launchpad (Linux only):


or you can get the source directly from our subversion repository,
using the 'svn' command:


or any other subversion client.

We look forward to your feedback!  Like us on facebook:

Cheers,

- The ImageVis3D team.
