Previous version (Release 0.6) - 26 December 2007
This release has taken longer than expected but I think you'll agree with me that the delay has been worth it. So as a Boxing Day special here's what's new:
We finally have a name! After going through several suggestions we now present Oviyam (IPA: ovɪyum - Tamil for art. In Tamil: ஓவியம்), Web DICOM browser. I now know the difficulties faced by parents in naming their kids. You have my sympathies 
Under the hood
- Now licensed under MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1 to bring it in compliance with the dcm4che project
- Now using Ant to create builds
WYSIWYG
- Ground up rewrite using CSS & AJAX
- W3C compliance
- Single window interface - earlier versions would sometimes spawn a new window
- Configuration option for Host name, port, AETitle & WADO port (WADO port issue pointed out by Phil)
- Patient list slides out of view when a study or series is selected (Idea suggested by Ron Sweeney)
- Toggle Series pane in & out of view
- Keyboard shortcuts to navigate & move back and forth between images in a series
- Display of non-square images with proportional scaling (Issue pointed out by Jan)
- Pan & Zoom
- Launch Oviyam with a study/series context (Peter & Damien had asked for this.) We're using the syntax defined by Bill for Xero.
Known Bugs
- The query results present different studies for the same patient as separate lines
- Sliders do not work properly in Safari
- Date picker is MIA in the query screen
