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
• Not tested under Safari 2.0, Internet Explorer or Opera - results are unpredictable (Firefox & Safari 3.0 are the preferred browsers for now)

Keyboard shortcuts:

• P - toggle patient list
• S - toggle series preview
• G - Grid view
• M - Mosaic view
• L - Plat images in a Loop
• Up / Left arrow / - (minus) - move to next image in series
• Down / Right arrow / + (plus) - move to next image in series
