What's New in UniPlot 5.9.0
===========================

This page describes the changes made to UniPlot 5.9 since version 5.8.2.

New Features
------------

* Improved handling of large datasets with millions of data points.
  See :ref:`processing-large-data-files`.

* :ref:`the-data-browser`: The time to open the data browser for
  large data files has been reduced.

* Extended function to insert objects from clipboard into a UniPlot page.
  The user can choose the format the data is inserted into UniPlot. 
  See :ref:`editpaste`.

* UniPlot has been compiled using Visual Studio C++ 2008, the new MFC and
  the new C-Runtime MSVCRT library.

* :ref:`3d-classification-of-a-xyz-dataset`: Modified dialog box to select 
  channels. The number of decimal places of the table output can be specified.

* :ref:`import-of-diadem-files`: To reduce memory usage text data file (ASCII)
  are processed in chunks. 

* :ref:`asam-ods-browser-(rpc)`: New command to search for tests has been
  added. It can search for tests in a date range (e.g. Tests of the last 10 
  days) and/or for attribute values using wildcards (e.g. ``iName LIKE 'x12*'``).

Bug Fixes
---------

The following bugs have been fixed:

* (ID1827): Map Dataset: Sometimes color filling and isolines did
  not match. This error occurred if the values of the interpolation matrix
  and the isolines were identical. The error occurred frequently if the 
  matrix contained integer numbers.

*  (ID1828): A table object could not be moved using the arrow keys.

* (ID1834): :ref:`the-data-browser`: The browser could not display files with
  more than approx. 5 million rows. Now it is possible to display files
  with multi-million points. Limit for netCDF-up files: 2 billion points per 
  channel.

* (ID1835): The number of data points of a netCDF-up file was limited
  to approx. 260,000,000 points. Now this limit is 2 billion points 
  (see also :ref:`application-limits`).

* (ID1836): The marker output of 2D datasets can be very slow for large
  datasets. Therefore markers are only displayed if the number of 
  displayed markers / Marker-Frequency < 10000.

*  (ID1839): Windows-Vista: Display error in the status bar. 

* (ID1842) UniScript error in UniPlot 5.8.2: "/" characters were not
  allowed in a "define" statement. Example: ``#define TEST "a/b"``.

* (ID1843) Small display error with diagrams: Sometimes the position of the
  grid lines and the axes tics did not match. The offset was 1 pixel due to a 
  rounding error. The error can still occur in some cases.

* (ID1851): :ref:`AppHelp` did not work with 2 parameters. The help file
  opened but the topic did not open. Example::

     AppHelp("sin", GetRootDirectory() + "help/up-en.chm")

* (ID1852): The :ref:`fileclose-(save-compact)` command could lead to data loss.
  If the command was used for a new document and the "Cancel" button was pressed
  in the SaveAs dialog, the file was closed without saving.

* (ID1873): Addin :ref:`3d-classification-of-a-xyz-dataset`: The values
  were written into the file without decimal places (Format %8.1g). 
  Now 5 significant digits are saved (%10.5g) or the user can set the number
  of decimal places. 

* (ID1867): :ref:`ExcelGetSheetNames` sometimes did not return sheet names
  for large Excel files. Only the first sheet could be accessed.

* (ID1890): :ref:`excel_sheet_put_rows` only worked with 2 parameters.
