Release Notes

3/19/2015
FluoRender 2.15.2

These issues were fixed:
1. It failed to read a TIFF file with multiple strips when saved with LZW compression.
2. Memory leaks when multiple GPUs were installed and an OpenCL kernel was used.
3. A volume data set could not be compressed with OpenGL RG texture compression.
4. The application icon looked jagged under Windows.
5. Rulers were not saved in a project file.
6. Applying paint brush strokes on a data set larger than 4 GB caused FluoRender to crash. After fixing, it performs best on the latest graphics cards with 12 GB of memory (Geforce GTX Titan X or Quadro K6000).

These improvements are included:
1. When the keyboard shortcuts for the paint brush tool are used, it allows single mouse clicking to select/unselect a circular region.
2. Speed of applying a paint brush stroke is significantly improved, especially for large data on slow computers.

These new features are included:
1. A probe tool to create a two-point ruler along the viewing direction. When used in combination with the paint brush tool (via key board shortcut), it creates a cylindrical selection along the ruler.
2. A profile tool to calculate intensity profiles along rulers. This tool is best used along with the probe tool to generate an averaged intensity profile within the cylindrical mask region.
