Charon / News: Recent posts

We'd like to present a new binary release of CharonSuite for the Windows Plattform.

This time, there are quite a few changes to the core, so rebuilding your custom plugins
is necessary. The most important change is the introduction of a new cmake macro for creating
new plugin targets (ADD_CHARON_PLUGIN). A more detailed changelog can be found below.

Right now we only offer a x64 build. If you are in need of a 32 bit build, please contact us.... read more

We have a new release for windows available.
This one has only a small number of changes and some new plugins.

A new major release with support for loops will be available shorty, so stay tuned.

I'm happy to announce that the "align views" function
of the old Argos is now also available in ArgosDisplay.

Additionaly some nasty race conditions and heap corruptions
regarding plugins using Qt have been fixed.

Enjoy

Since last week the ScriptorCimg plugin by Mox is part of charon-utils.

With it you can run arbitrary external programs or scripts from inside a workflow.
Image data can be writen to disk an reread to allow image processing with external programs.
More plugins with embedded script or vigra support will follow shortly.

It is already included in the latest win32 developement snapshot. Get it on our download page.

This release is a current snapshot of the supernodes development branches.

Since bzr r97, the TemplateGenerator adds an install target to the generated CMakeLists.txt file.
This simplifies copying the new modules into an existing module collection, e.g. where the prebuilt binaries are located.
On Win32, one should set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable to where the binaries have been unzipped, on Linux one usually would use /usr or /usr/local.
