The 64-bit version of Java should be used when running on a 64-bit system.
All tests use the Java VM from Oracle
(see http://java.oracle.com/). (2) $NM_CC and $NM_CXX was set to point to the Intel C/C++ compiler (icc and icpc), where applicable. |
Via Web Browser:
$NMROOT/htdocs/help/index.html
(Now includes the
NeXtMidas Training Class and an updated version of the NeXtMidas User's Guide.)
BUILD | - | The default build.props, has merged all areas from build.codeareas.other back into build.codeareas.lib (they were separated in NeXtMidas 3.1.2 because SYS has lots of files to compile). SYS still continues to keep them separated. This is not expected to impact any users. |
Convert | - | In 3.9.0, the default behavior of Convert.o2n and Convert.s2n was improved to, at least in the case of numeric Strings and Objects with numeric value, use the appropriate Number type to preserve value and precision. There was also API added to always preserve precision by specifying that BigDecimal sohould be used. To revert to the old behavior of these conversions always returning a Double, set CoreIO.Option.DefaultToDoubleOnConvertO2nS2nEvenWhenPrecisionIsLost. See DR# 825490-3 for additional details. |
DataFile | - | BLUE files with the new 'Z' 256 ASCII Data Type will be given the BLUE VER 1.2. These DataFiles with 'Z' data only readable by NeXtMidas 3.9.4+. |
FFT | - | A fix was made in 3.9.0 to keep the FFT NAVG from getting corrupted during restarts. Previously NAVG was incorrectly being adjusted to the number of frames in the last partial average before the restart. |
GeodeticUtil/Transform | - | GeodeticUtil.computeConeLLA uses Transform.clipAtEarth underneath. The legacy code gives inaccurate results in cases where the cone extended out from the earth. Though there is an option to still use legacy code, the default is the new more accurate code. Additional refinement of this fix are in process and more documentation is anticipated in the next release. Note: Other GeodeticUtil computeCone methods that use computeConeLLA are also affected. (4.0.1) |
PLOT/LayerT5 | - | LayerT5 was designed to read in Alt/Lat/Lon points (and ellipses/cones). Though this is clear in the documentation, there has been nothing preventing it from reading in XYZ data. As of 3.9.3, the default for LayerT5 is to have its values wrapped to fit within Lat/Lon ranges (see DR #8311172-2). This wrapping of points to Lat/Lon bounds can be turned off with the Layer argument DataType=XYZ. With the view=3DGRAPH, that is a variant of VIEW=XYZ, loading XYZ data via LayerT5 needs to also be supported. |
PLOT/LayerMap/LayerWMS | - | LayerMap's tiled cache size default and LayerWMS number of download threads default have been increased to modern standards. The tiled cache size default is adjusted if a smaller JVM memory is detected. These defaults can also be updated by the user. The increase in these defaults was needed to avoid long delays when using USETILES=true on WMS servers where there is a long connect time. (4.0.1) |
TABLE | - | Values in a Table that start with a caret '^' will now be resolved as results, if there is a result by that name. To turn off this functionality, use CoreIO.Option.DisableResultUsageWithCaretInTable. |
TimeLine | - | Piped High Precision time hacks were mistakenly being converted to BLUE microsecond time hacks. As of 4.0.0, the format of time hacks is being preserved. The default timeline size for all formats was 128, which was too small for high precision time hacks and caused them to wrap. High precision timelines now default to a starting size of 1024 and will grow, if needed, to 4096. |
ZPIPE | - | A user contributed updated ZIPE (UCL option tree) was adopted in NeXtMidas 3.9.0. Due to the nature of the changes, we do not anticipate any significant backwards compatibility issues. This was adopted with minimal testing due to the limited user base and the code by nature being a user contributed library. |
NMROOT and Classpath | - | When running NeXtMidas from a jar, all dependencies should be in specified directly in the Java classpath. Example: java -DNONATIVE=false -cp "/path/to/jars/nxm-sys-native-linux-x86_64.jar:/path/to/jars/nxm-sys.jar" nxm.sys.lib.NeXtMidas |

JDK Module System (allow eventual separation of graphical and non-graphical code into separate modules) | - | Starting in 3.9.2, to better support dockerization and eventual transition to having non-graphical code
in a separate JDK module than the graphical code, we have started a path towards breaking the
dependencies of the sys non-graphical packages (inc,lib,libm) on the graphical packages (libg,intr,prim,net). Many projects depend solely on our non-graphical code. These projects could benefit from the JDK module system introduced in JDK 9. Breaking the dependencies of our core libraries on our graphical code would allow these users to have smaller release packages, as well as better performance through a faster startup time and reduced memory footprint. A chart showing the changes and the requested user action is in this docs folder: JDK_Modularity_User_Action_Required.xlsx Great effort has been made to ensure backwards compatibility during the transition, but if you make use of global imports of NeXtMidas packages in your code and reference MidasFrame, GPrimitive, of WidgetPanel you may get compile warnings of Ambiguous Reference. If you experience that issue, please organize your imports to only import the classes needed. The legacy version of these classes are inc.MidasFrame, lib.GPrimitive, or lib.WidgetPanel. Other than this, there should be no immediate impact to any users. Time will be given for users to make this transition. A basic summary of the changes requested of the users is: 1) Classes implementing the PlotFile Interface with their own getLayer are requested instead register the appropriate Layer's getLayer method in a registry (see spreadsheet for details) 2) Users referencing inc.MidasFrame, lib.GPrimitive, or lib.WidgetPanel are requested to change references to the new libg version of these classes. For WidgetPanel you will additionally need to either cast any references to GWidget.wp or the return value from GWidget.getWidgetPanel to (libg.WidgetPanel) OR use the new GWidget.getGWidgetPanel() If your option tree will be working with additional option trees that may not have made the transition, the additional recommended steps are shown in the spreadsheet. 3) If you are using the InternalUseOnly methods getLayer(), setMPlot(..) or getMPlot in the inc.Drawable Interface, see the spreadsheet for directions. Please let us know if you have any questions or experience any issues. Our contact information is listed both in the User's Guide and the Training. |
Bash Support | - | Support using NeXtMidas from bash shell (i.e.: source $NMROOT/os/unix/nmstart.sh) |
GFC Support | - | As of 3.9.1, support for GFC compilers has been added |
Intel oneAPI 2021 | - | As of 4.0.1, XBC and NeXtOpt have been tested with Intel oneAPI 2021. Intel oneAPI provides a free version of Intel that does not require a license to use it. |
New Commands | - | CHECKAUTHORIZATION;SYS - Facilitates Attribute based Access Control |
- | SSLCONFIGURE;SYS - Sets up Java SSL Context for either 2-way (Mutual Authentication) or 1-way authentication. Generally a SSLUtilities properties file is required. The /INSECURE switch (added in 3.9.0) is not recommended, as it sets up an all trusting truststore. With the INSECURE option, a properties file is not needed and the user's key is either auto-discovered or directly provided. | |
- | PRESCALER;SYS - This command is intended to be used in conjunction with PLOT to provide more accurate scaling of 1000 and 2000 files. It generates a scale table that can be either a RESULT value or EXTERNAL KEYWORD. This command should be used directly or indirectly via the new PLOT /PRESCALE=... with zero-padded PreD data or in other cases where the plot needs to base its scaling on a wider selection of data from the whole file. See prescaler.exp and plot.exp. (use 3.9.2+) | |
Macro/Shell Enhancements | - | PATH: Jar files from "jar" area (i.e. directory) of an option tree are now included recursively (which allows symbolic links) when the option tree is added to the PATH. |
Libraries | - | Convert - nxm.sys.lib.Convert can now match Java behavior of wrapping oversized integer and long values when CoreIO.Option.FavorJavaBehaviorOverTraditionalMidasBehavior is set. This deviates from traditional Midas behavior or saturating the value. - since 3.9.0 |
- | Data - Added support for creating Data objects from java.util.Lists and converting them to Lists (3.9.4). | |
- | DataFile - Additional Support for creating files without an extension and maintaining case during file creation was added in 3.9.1. These can be globally enabled as the default via the CoreIO.IOOptions CreateFileWithoutTmpExtenstion and CreateFileMaintainCase respectively. This behavior can also be dictated by the new BaseFile flags MAINTAINCASE and DONOTADDEXTENSION. | |
- | DataTypes
|
|
- | Keywords - The default substitute for dots in keywords (dotted keywords are common in PLATINUM) files has been "->". In 3.9.1, new API Keywords.setDotSubstitute(String) was added to allow the user to specify a custom dot substitute, as the current substitute can be confused with a lambda expression. | |
- | PipeResource - Since 3.9.1, nxm.sys.lib.PipeResource has not been handling timelines correctly during Pipe Restarts. A fix has been added that can be enabled by setting the CoreIO.IOOptions.FixPipeRestartTimeLines. This fix is NOT currently enabled by default, to allow time for users to evaluate this fix. | |
- | Time - In 3.9.3, added support for BLUE ICD time format codes ACQDATE and ACQTIME, including adding implementation to the methods toAcqDate(..) and fromAcqDate(..). | |
- | TimeLine - In 4.0.0, there is a more appropriate default timeline size for high precision timeline formats (starts at 1024 and can grow to 4096). Timeline sizes less than -128 are interpreted as start an a size of the larger of 128 and one fourth of the absolute value specified and grow to the absolute value of the value specified (ex: -1024 means start at 256 and potentially grow to 1025). Additional API has also been added to give users greater control of defaults. See TimeLine API for details. | |
Gradle Support (BETA) | - | Support has been added to convert NeXtMidas to a gradle directory structure. Please
find instructions located at $NMROOT/gradle/readme.txt
NOTE: This feature is in beta and may have issues. Please provide feedback. |
Existing Commands | - | The list below contains NeXtMidas commands. Each command is listed with the new feature that has been added at the request of the user. |
- | BUILD
|
|
- | FEATURE
|
|
- | KEYWORD
|
|
- | HTTPSERV - The new /HTTPS switch creates encrypted HTTPS connection. The /ONEWAY switch can be added to the /HTTPS switch to enable only 1-way SSL (client key is not required). - since 3.9.0 | |
- | PANEL - /MENUBAR now allows GLabels (and their associated GWidgets) to be placed in a drop down menu bar (when the GControl Pane is collapsed). - since 3.9.0 | |
- | PLOT
|
Reflective Access JDK 9+ | - | Warnings are thrown for illegal access using reflection in Java 9 and up. When running from
the NeXtMidas start script, the warnings thrown by NeXtMidas are removed. If running from another
way, this warning will show up. To bypass the warning, add this to the jvm runtime options: --add-opens java.logging/java.util.logging=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/java.security=ALL-UNNAMED For more information please visit Oracle JDK 14 Documentation |
JDK 8u20 to 8u31 | - | The Java Development Kit 8u20, 8u25, and 8u31's javac has a bug that prevent it from being used to build/compile the NeXtMidas baseline. This is not an issue in JDK 8u11 and prior. It is fixed in JDK 8u40. This only affects build time, Java 8 can still be used for runtime. See Java Bugs JDK-8058511 and JDK-8062272 StackOverflowError at com.sun.tools.javac.code.Types.lub for more information. |
OpenJDK | - | When using OpenJDK,some users have experienced minor graphical glitches in NeXtMidas GUIs, as well as issues with monospaced fonts not actually being monospaced (which is an issue when OpenJDK is coupled with certain installations of RHEL). |
XBC | - | Building static libraries with both the -fPIC and -i-static flag is still "experimental" in the Intel 9.1/10.x/11.x Fortran compiler (see thread 30222879 on the "Intel Software Network Forums" for details). In practice, this only appears to affect users on 64-bit systems. As a work-around only builds on 32-bit machines include the "-i-static" flags in "ifort.comp.append.32bit" and "ifort.link.append.32bit" properties in $NMROOT/nxm/sys/cfg/build.props. On 64-bit platform, the compiler will default to dynamically linking the Intel runtime libraries, so users will need to run with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment set to include the Intel libraries installed location. |
- | The Intel C/C++ prior to 11.1.059 (update 3) has a bug that causes the BUILD of
C++ HOST primitives that access the Mu pointer to fail with an error message
like: "(0): internal error: 0_1561 ... compilation aborted for $NMROOT/nxm/xbc/host/test_mu_okio.cc (code 4). ". The Intel compiler has a bug in compiling code that access a thread local storage constant pointer (which is the definition of the Mu pointer). See Intel issue DPD200138828 at http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-professional-edition-compilers-111-fixes-list/. GCC does not have this bug. To workaround this Intel compiler bug (by not making the Mu a const pointer), define _WORKAROUND_INTEL_COMPILER_ERROR_0_1561 in your build.props (e.g. "native.lin.cflags.append=-D_WORKAROUND_INTEL_COMPILER_ERROR_0_1561") or directly in the C++ source file. |
|
- | There is a known issue running OpenMP in NeXtMidas. To workaround uncomment additional properties [ifort.libs.dir] and [ifort.openmp.workaround] in the SYS build.props. [ifort.libs.dir] is the path to the Intel compiler directory. [ifort.openmp.workaround] appends the necessary flags to the compiler however the library reference must be adjusted to reflect the respective Intel compiler version (if using Intel 12.x or later use -liomp5 otherwise use -lguide the current default). See the Users Guide or the example in the XBCTESTOPT2 option tree at $NMROOT/nxm/xbc/test/nmopts/nxm/xbctestopt2 . | |
VNC | - | It has been noted by users that NeXtMidas will not function in a VNC session if the -depth option is set to 32. 32 is an invalid color depth, valid -depth option settings are 8, 16, and 24. We recommend the default -depth setting of 16. |
Windows | - | There is a known issue related to Windows Direct3D when combined with certain hardware profiles and JDKs. This results in severe performance issues with plots, causing sluggish performance, blank plots, and CPU spikes. This is especially true in JDK 7. The workaround is to disable the Direct3D support in java via the environment variable NM_USER_JVM_FLAGS=-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false). |
StateVector | - | The CubicHermite (the default in NeXtMidas 3.2) and QuinticHermite (optional in NeXtMidas 3.3) interpolation options do not appear to be working properly, particularly at the first and second derivative. At this time it has not been confirmed if the issue is due to a bug in the interpolator or just the results from using bad test data (i.e. sv1.prm which came from X-Midas). This affects both the StateVector library and the SVINTERP function in CONVERT which uses it. The suggested work-around is to use the Linear interpolation option until this issue is resolved. |
CALL | - | A SUBROUTINE does not have limited scope, scope is the same as procedure. |
CONVERT | - | Tables created by the XML2TBL function may appear to "drop entries" when dereferenced. Since XML2TBL is deprecated, this will not be fixed, use the XML2TAB in place of XML2TBL. |
GCONTROL | - | Some controls do not support headless mode. |
LIST2 | - | The table for a /LEGACY select message may contain "extra" fields. |
- | Row/cell selection is undefined when listing a pipe. | |
- | Type 2000 files with very large frame size may not load properly. | |
NeXtOpt | - | NeXtMidas commands run from inside an X-Midas macro (specifically when using PIPE or XPIPE) may exit prematurely. For example a NeXtMidas intrinsic run from the INITIALENTRY of a controls section can cause the pipe to stop prematurely. |
- | May get warnings about problems mapping to the messages section if the X-Midas message queue is not up. | |
- | Timecode readout for large Type 2000 may give t=00:00:00. | |
Webstart | - | Oracle has been making frequent changes to the security restrictions for Web Start and Applets. Since Java 7u45, users may have to import a public certificate via the jconsole application in order to prevent Web Start application failures. See the Building Web Start Applications section of the User's Guide for details. In addition, as of JDK 7u51, you may see warnings related to jar file signing such as "No -tsa or -tsacert is provided and this jar is not timestamped." These warning do not impact NeXtMidas. |
- | Java has removed support for Webstart in JDK 11 | |
XBC | - | XBC does not support running two copies of the same command simultaneously. |
- | Do NOT use "-check all" with the Intel compliers because some of the legacy fortran libraries make assumptions that are incompatible with "-check all" causing unnecessary aborts (SEGFAULT). |
