CHANGELOG.md

Changelogs

3.4.5-beta

• [feat] add layerChanged event when a layer is added or removed
• [deprecate] of select event, use objectsSelected event instead
• [ui] add the ability to switch the tile format to download

3.4.3-beta

• [bugfix] zoom control buttons
• [feat] save a MOC as a JSON file from the UI #154
• [feat] save a source selection from the measurement table as a CSV file
• [feat] allow to display jpeg/jpg images with a wcs passed as a JS dictionary: #173

3.4.2-beta

• [impr] Improve smartphone support by setting media queries + a better logic for deploying the contextual menu sub options.
• [impr] Improve WCS view export with 3rd euler rotation encoding: #170. Still some cases are to be handled like: crval on the equator or cylindrical with a galactic frame rotation.
• [fixed] Change RADECSYS to RADESYS for Aladin#getViewWCS to follow fits standard deprecation
• [feat] Add new method Aladin#getViewImageBuffer to get the current view as a PNG buffer
• [feat] New line rasterizer using GL instancing. This enhances the rendering speed of MOCs.

3.3.3

• [feat] UI: add HiPS basic filter that filters the hipsList given
• [feat] New hipsList option parameter when instancing a new Aladin object.
• [feat] Zoom smoothing using hermite cubic interpolation functions
• [feat] shape option of Catalog and ProgressiveCat accepts a function returning a Footprint. This allow user to associate a footprint to a specific source
• [feat] Hover color support by @pmatsson and @bmatthieu3 in #145

3.3.2

• [fixed] do not allow to query the properties several times for an imageHiPS
• [fixed] Detecting raytracing rendering mode. Adapt the rendering mode in function of the fov value and the projection used. Some projections do have more distortions with wide FoVs so it is better to use the raytracing rendering mode when fov >= smaller FoV threshold.

3.3.0

• [fixed] multiple calls to setImageSurvey with the same survey object led to strange behaviour.
• [perf] Display the first tile received instantly with no blending. Should enhance the slow reported in issue #88.
• [fixed] A.on('select') (debugged from ipyaladin)
• [fixed] Simbad pointer in galactical frame, cone search of simbad/vizier cats/other cone search services in galactical frame and MOC creation from selection in galactical frame => there is now a new frame optional param to Aladin.pix2world. If not given, the coo returned are in the frame of the view.
• [doc] Add doc for image survey definition
• [deprecation] A.createImageSurvey/A.newImageSurvey are now deprecated (but still in the API). Please use A.imageHiPS instead by providing a valid url or CDS ID conformed to https://aladin.cds.unistra.fr/hips/list
• [refac] Simplify the instanciation of an imageHiPS/ imageFITS. Add a A.imageHiPS method for defining a HiPS object
• [fixed] At initialisation, giving a fov > 180 was clamped back to 180 even if we specify allsky projection (i.e. accepting fov > 180). This is now fixed.
• [fixed] MeasurementTable now display the full cell values (no ellipsis anymore)
• [fixed] aladin.on('select') has been implemented. Callback is triggered on a circle and rect selections for not on polygonal selection.
• [fixed] the cooFrame UI selector is updated if the user calls aladin.setFrame
