Changes

A complete list of issues addressed in this release can be found in the issue tracker.

Application Changes

• The IID1 field in an NITF image segment will now be used as the dataset name when importing a NITF file. Previously, the filename with an image segment number appended was used.
• Gain and offset values in a NITF image segment are now applied to the pixel values so the correct data are displayed in the spatial data window.
• New LIDAR tactical decision aids from the NGA TDA open source library are now available. These include mudslide prediction and hydrology classification.
• Cubehelix colormap support has been added including a default cubehelix colormap and a GUI to create custom cubehelix colormaps. This can be accessed from the colormap dialog.

Developer and SDK changes

• The build scripts have been updated to run under recent Python 3 revisions.
• The SCons files have been updated to build on recent gcc versions in most distributions. This changes some command line flags sent to gcc and set the C++ standard to c++03 to avoid problems in Qt header files with c++11 and newer.
• The various scripts now work properly with git instead of subversion. The exception is the build-installer.py script which will require a manual git ls-files command.
• Various build fixes and updates to work with CentOS 7 and Windows 10 including fixes to the WiX files to work with WiX 3.6.
