2023.3.1 - v2.3.7:

To run the SNBL Toolbox in Windows you may need to install the MS Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2019.

The Linux version of the SNBL Toolbox is compiled in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, thus it should work in any rather new distributions.

Changelog

2023.3.1 - v2.3.7:
- Crysis: fix regression when Crysis does not create all the needed files for Crysalis.
- Fiewer: now can open Crysalis IMG files.
- HeadEx: support for Voltage CBF header key.
2023.1.25 - v2.3.6:
- Converter: fix incorrect periodical binning when it is started not from the very first period #14.

2022.4.20 - v2.3.4:
- Fix regression in Crysis (since v2.2.4): Crysis creates a not containing mask file for Pilatus detectors.
- Converter now uses AVX and AVX2 CPU instructions which may stop Toolbox working on old computers.
2022.1.26 - v2.3.3:
- Fix Fiewer regressions:
  - not showing any angular information for CBF files #12.
  - bad units for Bubble cakes #13.
2022.1.7 - v2.3.2:
- Fix Fiewer crashes when a Bubble cake is not square #11.
- Fiewer can open pyFAI generated HDF5 files.
- HeadEx: extract header values from EDF files.
2021.11.26 - v2.3.1
- Converter: fix incorrect summing of angle increments for periodical binnings.
- Converter: fix a possible crash if user deletes files from the list for conversion.
2021.10.28 - v2.3.0
- Fiewer shows cakes produces by Bubble bubbles #7.
- Converter: improve the speed of file scanning when adding an enormous amount of files.
2021.6.29 - v2.2.6
- Fiewer watches for newly appearing files (even on Windows)
- Fiewer can open tiff files with int32 values (usually Pilatus tiff)
- HeadEx can extract calibrated blower temperature: use Blower_calibrated in the list
2021.1.27 - v2.2.5
- Fix regression in Converter: very slow file scanning
2020.12.16 - v2.2.4
- Crysis: fix multiruns with KuMa-like kappa goniometer
- Converter: CBF 'Count_cutoff' header key is summed up while binning
- Fiewer: fix remembering to many arrow key clicks while listing heavy frames
2020.10.8 - v2.2.3
- Converter: Gandolfi-like binning for multi-temperature single crystal scans
- Fiewer: display angular information for CBF frames
2020.9.1 - v2.2.2
- Converter: fix incorrect binning of CBF frames periodically on Windows and MacOS
2020.8.26 - v2.2.1
- Converter: fix incorrect binning of CBF frames
2020.5.17 - v2.2.0
- Fiewer: new frame formats:
  - Agilent esperanto, raw frames and packed with AGI_BITFIELD;
  - TIFF;
  - Dectris Eiger HDF5;
- Fiewer: fix various memory leaks happened when playing frames back and forward
- Fiewer: smart file sorting
2020.5.17 - v2.1.0
- A new tool: Fiewer - the frame viewer. Fiewer is supposed to be a fast tool to show images. It is able to jump between frame files or frames inside a multiframe file (using tool buttons or keyboard arrow keys) sorting files in lexical order. Fiewer support frame types such as:
  - EDF: all primitive types, multiframed files. Packed (gzip, etc) EDF format is not supported;
  - CBF from Dectris Pilatus;
  - Bruker format;
  - Mar (non-spiral);
  - JungFrau: only if master header in HDF5 format exists;
  - Fit2D masks;
- Converter: fix naming scheme while binning periodical datasets
2020.2.21 - v2.0.10
- Converter: properly sum up the header keys for merged frames
2019.4.15 - v2.0.9 (a9c76dfce9c6ac07789341fef61d902b01aa8071)
- Converter: fix wrong MD5 sum in merged CBF files, then ALBULA can open CBF files after the Toolbox again
- Converter: set negative intensities to the requested value even for one converted frame
- Converter: check the flux value for zero, otherwise a CBF header could have a 'nan' value for flux
2019.4.8 - v2.0.8 (70c41a5636f91804c299395e658cc7c344ad299f)
- Fix wrong update message
- Minor internal fixes for performance
2019.1.21 - v2.0.6 (ea5930cd008a856a6bbbeaa9dfbd1a51bb6b4454)
- SNBL Toolbox is rewritten in C++ and changes version from 1 to 2
- Crysis accepts a par file as a template for all processed directories
- To start from scratch, Crysis can remove all old files processed by Crysalis before. Use attentively!
- Converter can normalize the final frame on the Flux counter or the median value
- Various small fixes
2018.2.27
- 3DV: fix Windows bugs
- HeadEx: fix progress bar
- HeadEx: fix not working stop button
2018.1.16 (7b5973dbceb9)
- HeadEx can return CBF time as Unix time (number of seconds since January 1, 1970)
- HeadEx reads cbf files using multiple threads
2018.1.15 (6219065f6a4b)
- Fix various crashes in HeadEx
- New look for HeadEx
2017.12.14 (c302bcd79ef6)
- Crysis and Converter do not crash if there is an OS error (read-only filesystem, for example)
- 3DV does not create layers with just zeros on Windows
- SNBL Toolbox checks the updates from https://soft.snbl.eu/
2017.8.23 (344b86e56f28)
- Comply with new cryio API.
- Since August 24, 2017 Pylatus changes the position of the beam center to comply not with Fit2D (as before) but with Albula and pyFAI. Thus, crysis can now correctly handle the old and the new data.
- crysis shows the whole progress now.
