All releases of VisIt
Release Notes: This version contains many enhancements and bugfixes. It was upgraded to VTK 5.8.0. Windows distributions now contain a parallel compute engine based on MSMPI. Cumulative query selections were enhanced so they can cache intermediate results obtained from executing filters over time. Queries provide a more uniform interface in the Python interface. 2D multi-resolution rendering capability was added for 2D AMR data. The Streamline plot now works with AMR data. Libsim now allows mesh-sized ghost zone arrays to be used.
Release Notes: This version is primarily a bugfix release and resolves outstanding issues in several areas. Errors in the Volume plot and Streamline plot were fixed, as were errors in the Threshold and IndexSelect operators. Other fixes were made to Libsim and various reader plug-ins.
Release Notes: This release includes several enhancements and bugfixes. Selections have been enhanced to support cumulative queries, which are time-aware selections that use multiple variables and histograms to reduce data. Pick over time now supports multiple variables. VisIt can now start a remote compute engine through a gateway machine. Libsim was enhanced to have SWIG-generated Python bindings, support for dynamic user interfaces, and improved startup functions. Several database reader plug-ins were improved, including the Cale, GMV, Velodyne, Nek5000, and Xdmf readers.
Release Notes: This version is primarily a bugfix release and resolves outstanding issues in several VisIt database readers, including ParaDIS, Miranda, and EnSight.
Release Notes: This release includes several enhancements and bugfixes. VisIt's simulation instrumentation library was ported to the Windows platform. Lineout can now be used directly on plots to extract data from a higher dimensional plot. The Streamline plot was enhanced to support caching of intermediate results, accelerating its performance. The Streamline plot was made easier to use and extended to generate pathlines. A new operator was added to remove the cracks that form at AMR patch boundaries during isocontouring.
Release Notes: VisIt has been enhanced with many data analysis options. A new wizard was created for setting up comparison-based expressions, allowing simulations to be compared. The DataBinning operator was added, making it possible to calculate statistics over arbitrary spaces. Data selections were added so that plots can restrict the set of mesh cells in one space and then apply that selection to plots in another space. In addition, multi-resolution support was added, and many of VisIt's readers were improved and fixed.
Release Notes: The GUI has been ported to Qt4 and streamlined. The most obvious change is that users directly open files now instead of adding them into a selected files list (though that feature still exists via preferences). The Operator menus are now hierarchical and support customization. This version includes a new in-situ simulation instrumentation library, called SimV2, which supports vectors, species, AMR meshes, and much more. VisIt's expression and query mechanisms can now execute user-defined code written in Python.
Release Notes: This release offers a new, richly featured, parallelized Streamline plot that can integrate across domain boundaries. It offers a new Poincare plot for analysis of magnetic fusion datasets. The ParallelCoordinates plot was optimized, and can now display focus highlights. Many improvements have been made to VisIt's database reader plugins. In addition, dozens of bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: This release includes several new features and bugfixes in addition to performance enhancements for AMR data. The Volume plot now supports lighting when using ray casting, and the plot is also more efficient when rendering uchar data. Various improvements to annotations have been made. Specifically, plot legends can now be displayed horizontally. The Slice, Threshold, and Tube operators provide new options. The Silo, PDB/Flash, ITAPS, MFIX, PlainText, Tecplot, and SAMRAI readers have been enhanced or had bugs fixed. VisIt can now read data from the Gadget 2 SPH code.
Release Notes: This release includes many feature enhancements and bugfixes. The Streamline plot has been vastly improved to support creation of streamlines across domain boundaries, parallelism, and better numerics. VisIt's user interface can now be translated into other languages using Qt linguist. This release attempts to use the loopback network interface (127.0.0.1) to avoid socket issues. It can use the IceT rendering library on clusters. Many file format readers have been improved, including Tecplot (support for binary files), XDMF, PlainText, FLASH, and EnSight.
