Screencast Videos

August 20th, 2009 — 4:40pm

I’ve added a few screencast videos to the Documentation section.  The first video shows how to get started using PSICAT and the second video shows how to create your own lithology and symbol schemes for use with PSICAT.  The audio quality isn’t as good as I’d like, so I will likely re-do them in the future with a better microphone.

0.5 Release

August 18th, 2009 — 5:13pm

Just a quick note to let everyone know that version 0.5 has been released.  This version offers a much improved legacy import option as well as support for grain sizes on intervals.  I also fixed a major bug in the SchemeEditor that prevented use of custom images.  The full list of closed issues is available here.

With grain size support added, the next challenge is an editor for creating and editing diagram, e.g. which columns and in what order.  This and various UI and usability enhancements will be the priority for 0.6.  I will update the docs and post the full list of proposed 0.6 enhancements later this week.

Special thanks to Jeff for the feedback.  As always, comments, criticism, and questions appreciated.

0.5 Roadmap

August 13th, 2009 — 11:12am

Sorry for the radio silence, I’ve been working hard on the 0.5 release.  It will be a fairly ambitious release with a big focus on closing the functionality gap between the development and stable versions of PSICAT.  Here are the main features in the roadmap:

I’m working on the last few things and plan to make the release this weekend.  As always, comments, criticism, and questions appreciated.
