[dispcalGUI-users] DisplayCAL 3.7 released

[Florian H. <fl...@di...>]

Added in this release:

* [Feature] Full field pattern insertion option for selected pattern
  generators (madTPG*, Prisma and Resolve). Note that madTPG on Windows
  requires using a modified version of ArgyllCMS.
* [Feature] Chromatic adaptation control for the synthetic ICC profile
  creator.
* Resolve HDR 3D LUT preset (SMPTE 2084 hard clip, no tonemapping).

Changed in this release:

* [Enhancement] Show a column with the spectral resolution and range of
  the reference measurements when listing colorimeter corrections from
  the online database (if available).
* [Enhancement] Improved support for (3rd party) profiles with chromatic
  adaptation transforms other than Bradford, e.g. for use as 3D LUT
  source profiles.
* [Enhancement] Early abort when cancelling video level detection
  measurements.
* [Enhancement] Early abort if connecting to madTPG fails.
* [Enhancement] Updated simplified chinese translation (thanks to Mars).
* [Enhancement] If using madTPG and continuing from interactive
  adjustment to iterative grayscale calibration, wait three seconds
  after switching to fullscreen and exclusive fullscreen respectively,
  to give the display time to complete the switch, before commencing
  measurements.
* [Enhancement] Show messages from instrument related popup dialogs
  during measurements on the madTPG on-screen display as well.
* Hue preservation less than 100% for HDR SMPTE 2084 3D LUTs with roll-
  off tonemapping now only affects red-orange/orange/amber hues (i.e.
  match madVR’s “color tweaks for fire & explosions”).
* [Enhancement] Verification: Before attempting to create a measurement
  report, automatically check the PCS to device table resolution for LUT
  profiles if necessary and warn about low resolution tables.
* [Enhancement] 3D LUT verification: When using a different whitepoint
  target for a 3D LUT, use the altered source profile as simulation
  profile for verification.
* [Enhancement] 3D LUT verification: When creating a self check report,
  automatically use the device link profile.
* [Enhancement] Measurement report: Show weighted ΔL, ΔC and ΔH for
  ΔE*94 and ΔE*00.
* [Enhancement] Measurement report: Signed values for ΔL*76, ΔL*94,
  ΔC*76 and ΔC*94 are now always relative to the nominal values (match
  ΔE*00 and ΔICtCp).
* [Enhancement] Measurement report: Measured vs display profile
  whitepoint is now a purely informational statistic, no longer a pass
  criteria.
* [UI] When creating a colorimeter correction, allow selecting a display
  manufacturer via autocomplete if not set.
* [UI] [Cosmetic] Minor UI spacing adjustments.
* [Cosmetic] For HDR 3D LUTs with SMPTE 2084 (hard clip) tone curve, set
  the mastering display peak luminance in the simulation profile
  description to the target peak.
* [Enhancement] macOS: For iMacs, use the model identifier as display
  description.

Fixed in this release:

* [Minor] Interpolation between clipping and roll-off for HDR 3D LUTs
  with SMPTE 2084 tone curve was not as smooth as intended with
  mastering display peak luminance below 10000 cd/m² or just above
  target peak.
* [Minor] HDR 3D LUTs with SMPTE 2084 (hard clip) tone curve did
  reproduce slightly too low luminance in a limited region below the
  chosen target peak.
* [Minor] Verification controls were not being initialized if loading
  settings before switching to the verification tab.
* [Trivial] Also update verification tone curve controls if a matrix
  profile with non-identical shaper curves is selected as simulation
  profile.
* [Trivial] Make eeColor to madVR converter exit cleanly when receiving
  SIGBREAK.
* [Trivial] Correctly escape/unescape quotes in CGATS.
* [Trivial] Reset enumerated measurement modes when changing Argyll
  version.
* [Trivial] Do not automatically disable interactive display adjustment
  after visual whitepoint editor measurement.
* [Trivial] When using madTPG, restore fullscreen and OSD button states
  when continuing on to calibration after interactive adjustment.
* [Trivial] madTPG did not automatically enter fullscreen if enabled
  when skipping interactive display adjustment and detecting video
  levels.
* [Trivial] Only show the place instrument on screen countdown in madTPG
  if we don’t temporarily leave fullscreen for interactive adjustment
  during calibration anyway.
* [Trivial] Always force HDR 3D LUT SMPTE 2084 mastering display peak
  luminance to be greater than or equal to target peak luminance.
* [Cosmetic] Do not show HDR 3D LUT tone mapping hue/saturation controls
  for SMPTE 2084 (hard clip).
* [Minor] Measurement report: Measured vs assumed/profile whitepoint
  delta ICtCp should always be referenced to assumed/profile whitepoint.
* [Minor] Measurement report: Using absolute values without display
  profile whitepoint as reference in ICtCp mode referenced the values to
  D50 instead of the natural ICtCp whitepoint of D65.
* [Cosmetic] Measurement report: RGB color comparison swatches when
  using absolute values and display profile whitepoint as reference were
  not referenced to chosen whitepoint.
* [Trivial] Profile information: Whitepoint delta E to locus should
  always be referenced to locus, not D50.
* [Cosmetic] Profile information: Use correct axis labels for DIN99b 2D
  gamut plot.
* [Minor] Standalone 3D LUT maker: Unmatched Thaw() call when setting
  abstract profile.
* [Minor] Linux: Prevent potential subprocess memory leak.
* [Minor] Linux, macOS: When connecting to madTPG, don’t send ‘bye’
  commands when closing duplicate connections so madTPG doesn’t close
  the main connection prematurely.
* [Trivial] Linux with wxPython Phoenix, Windows: Menu item labels in
  submenus weren’t updated until restarting the application after
  switching to a different language.
* [Trivial] Profile loader (Windows): Use Unicode APIs for creating the
  popup menu items, so that they are displayed correctly regardless of
  Windows codepage (makes non-western languages display correctly on
  western versions of Windows).
* [Trivial] Windows: Restore compatibility of measurement report with
  MSIE 11.
* [Cosmetic] macOS: When creating a colorimeter correction for a
  MacBook, correctly unescape backslashes in the automatically filled
  description.
