Re: [idvdevelopers] 20131220: New test release

IDVers:
I'm sorry I've been AWOL, but in Dec and Jan I'm on the Tug HIll Plateau sampling the most intense snowstorms on Earth. Looking at 5-6 feet by Wed afternoon. 

    I'm hoping to contribute more in February.

Kevin-
I believe that the IDV used to do a garbage collection (i.e. clean up memory) after the Remove All Displays and Data action, but I know Julien and Sean did some work to turn off all garbage collection and let the system clean up by itself. Ideally, it should do that, but maybe that's not working as it should.
I agree that it was nice to have the "how much you've used" to get an idea of when to clear the cache or whether you can actually load in that next display.

I've noticed that this test release does not free memory when I select "Remove All Displays and Data". Some times, but not most times, memory will get freed when I proceed to load in a different data source. Usually I have to completely restart the IDV to get memory use down.
I've also noticed that the three memory use values in the lower left of the screen (i.e., the ones that appear when you toggle off the realtime clock) have been replaced by only two values (current use/upper limit of use) ... i.e., the maximum use in the current session value no longer appears. That was a nice feature ...

One note about this. If you made any bundles from the previous progressive resolution test release, they will probably no longer work (that's why it's called a test release ;-)). We had to make some significant changes to simplify the underlying code and it was not feasible to keep the old test bundles working. You will need to recreate them, which would be a good test of whether things work from scratch and from the new bundles.
And, as some of you have found, you cannot necessarily use any bundles created under the test release with the official current release. But please test any bundles made with the official release (4.1) under 5.0.

Hi All,
        I have a new test release here for the progressive resolution
and new image chooser. Please download from the following link:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/test/index.jsp


The changes in the latest:

0) the release version is 5.0 for this test release
1) remove the progressive resolution checkbox from subset panel, it is
now set as the user preference and can be changed in view drop down
menu
2) the use display area is added as a property of the datasource in
the data source properties panel
3) the show mag factor is added in the sidelegend
4) most of previous bugs should be fixed.

The design should be very close to be the final. My plan is to merge
this to the nightly release after the new year, and run more test and
prepare for the AMS short course with this version of IDV.
