Beta Release 2.01.03 (Java 13.0.1, 64bit)

03/02/2020

If you are upgrading from a PAMGuard core release (1.15.xx), PAMGuard Version 2 contains major updates. You should read and understand the notes listed for Beta Version 2.00.10 (see Release Notes page) before proceeding with installation and use of this version.

This version of PAMGuard has been bundled with Java 13 (release 13.0.1). PSFX files generated in previous beta releases (2.xx.xx) should be compatible with this version, and vice-versa. PSF files generated in core releases (1.15.xx) can be loaded in this version, but will be converted to PSFX files when PAMGuard exits.

  3. Add option to Whistle & Moan Detector data selector to only display whistles that have super-detections.
  4. Functionality to clone hydrophone streamers.
  5. Added automatic log file - all messages to the console will now be written to a txt file as well. File is stored in user.home/Pamguard folder - look under the Help menu item for a shortcut to open the folder.
  6. Implemented a simple UDP output for PAMGuard alarms.
  7. Changes to Spectrogram Mark Observers, to allow individual channels to be selected instead of the spectrogram panel as a whole.
  8. Change to use long module names in dialogs instead of short, to make it easier to know the difference between output data blocks when using the same module multiple times.
  9. Added a few new options to the Click Detector Sweep Classifier.
  10. Add option to the Map module's Plot Overlay Options dialog, to show events occuring in the future (look ahead) instead of the default display of events which have already occurred. Can make it easier to match up the map with clicks seen in the Click Detector display.
