depthmapX v0.8.0

General:

• Allow for pushing values from shapemaps (axial maps, segment maps) to VGA
• Fix VGA map connections export
• Make drawing to segment conversion faster
• Test and fix shape removal for axial and data maps
• Allow pushing the Ref or Key value to another layer
• Fix MIF/MID import (allow for empty columns, PR #369)
• Fix diagonal line handling on VGA map fill (PR #326, thanks Piotr Piastucki!)
• Change C++ standard to 17

Graphical User Interface (GUI):

• Highlight shapes and pixels on hover (can be disabled in the settings)
• Allow inserting any number in the table (PR #356)
• Fix a case where the app would crash with multiple unlinking in VGA (PR #328)
• Fix convex map hover and selection (PR #368)
• Allow generating multiple isovists by importing a CSV file
• Fix a case where VGA progress bar would end, but analysis would still be going (PR #323)
• Fix tableview display (When an attribute is selected from the index, the table is sorted by the same column. When a column is sorted at the table it is also selected on the attribute index)
• Update the Map display to be visible through Remote desktops (PR #379)
• Make sure the correct tool is actually selected when creating a new file (PR #349)
• Set the minimum macOS/OSX version to 10.9
• Add icons to macOS bundle
• Add icons to the linux AppImage
• Fix convex/axial map linking

Command-Line Interface (CLI):

• Allow for printing analysis progress
• On error do not display whole help text
• Allow importing to a datamap (preserving attributes)
• Allow unmerging pixels
• Allow for weighted axial analysis
• Let the user know when a radius list is required for axial analysis

depthmapX v0.7.0

This is a quite significant release as the internals of the application have been modernised making it more future proof and easier for new developers to access and contribute. With this release depthmapX will also be more robust and not crash as often as previous releases when handling different data and analyses. More details about user-facing changes can be found here and internal changes here
