Bugs fixed in version 1.7.1
- The slice operator's project feature was not correctly projecting the slice to the plane Z=0. This bug was exhibited only with data sets that had very large spatial extents.
- Apply either the Displace operator or Transform operator followed by the Box operator would sometimes result in missing data.
- The Chombo reader used 32-bit integer arithmetic to calculate start offsets for boxes/patches, which would result in errors when loading large files. Calculations now use 64-bit integer arithmetic.
- The plugin manager was incorrectly loading non-plugin files in some cases.
- The modules for the Java client have been updated to reflect changes made in release 1.7.
- Valid printf-style format strings for Label plot and Queries were incorrectly being deemed invalid on Mac.
