HemoSpat version 2.3.0 has been released with some new features & bug fixes. Thank you to all those who have reported bugs, made suggestions, and tested fixes!

3D Viewer Replacement

The main change in 2.3 is that the preview 3D Viewer, which was released in 2.2, is now the primary 3D viewer for HemoSpat.

It has all the features of the old one, and adds new ones such as:

• an orthographic camera view which shows the scene without perspective, much like a CAD program would

  

• outlines on objects to make them stand out better

  

• an axis indicator for orientation

  

• translucency for cast off planes

  

• optional shadows

  

• optional background grid
• a more flexible save image dialog
• better handling of dark mode/dark themes

You may still access the old viewer by selecting 3D Views (Deprecated) under the View menu. The old one will be removed in the next release.

Internal Changes

I made many other internal changes to support this new viewer and to set things up for new features and future updates. I have many things lined up for future releases already, but please contact me with any suggestions for features that would make your job easier.

Other Changes & Fixes

There are a whole bunch of bugs fixed in this release as well. Please see the release notes for more details.

Feedback

I can only focus on one thing at a time and I rely on feedback to help figure out what that should be!

It would be very helpful to know:

• What features (reports, viewers, exporters, etc.) do you use the most?
• What features do you never use?
• What features are confusing?
• What’s missing to help you do your job more effectively?
• If you don’t use HemoSpat, why not? What’s missing?

Basically, any information on how you use (or don’t use!) HemoSpat and what you would like to see in the future would be helpful. I look forward to any and all feedback. Please feel free to get in touch by email, using the contact form, or using the support form on the user site (requires login).
