(1) All code was compiled with "-source 5" and
"-target 5" specified (this is the default). All tests use the
Java VM from Sun Microsystems (see
http://java.sun.com/). (2) Not all versions of Java support 64-bit systems. In the case of x86_64 systems only the most recent updates to Java 5 or Java 6 will work. Please see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.html for more details. (3) $NMROOT/nxm/sys/cfg/build.props was modified to point to the Intel C/C++ compiler rather than the GNU C Compiler. (4) As of RHEL5u5, there is no standard 64-bit version of Mozilla Firefox available (it comes with the 32-bit version of Firefox). Oracle (formerly Sun Microsystems) suggests using the 32-bit (Java plugin) for Java applet support for 32-bit versions of Firefox. Note: As of Firefox 3.6.x, the new (Next-Generation) Java plugin (included with Java 6 update 10 and later) must be used (i.e. $JAVAHOME/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so) for Java applets to work. Please see http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/firefox_newplugin.xml for more details. Linux system, it will not work correctly!!! |

(Now includes the NeXtMidas Training Class and an updated version of the NeXtMidas User's Guide.)
Java 5 Migration
-
NeXtMidas 2.7.0 was the first release following Sun Microsystems' decision to drop standard
support for Java 1.4.2. As such, Java 1.4.2 is no longer supported in NeXtMidas 2.7.0 and
later.
NeXtMidas 2.7.0 was the first release to drop support for Windows 2000 and RedHat versions prior to RHEL 3 (e.g. RedHat 9), as these O/S versions are no longer supported by their respective vendors. NeXtMidas 2.7.0 also dropped all versions of Tru64 UNIX since Java 1.4.2 was the last Java version available for Tru64 UNIX.
Users who wish to run on Java 1.4.2, Windows 2000, RedHat 9, or Tru64 UNIX are advised to use the NeXtMidas 2.6.x version which will continue to support those platforms for as long as is practicable.
Since Java 5 performs additional error-checking during compilation, some users may see "new" warning messages printed when their option trees are compiled. These warnings are normal and fixing them can usually be done in a way that does not impact portability of the option tree (i.e. the warnings can be addressed without loosing the ability to run under older NeXtMidas/Java versions).
What Might Break (Changes in Behavior)
Args | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.0, nxm.sys.lib.Args.getTable(String name) (i.e. MA.getTable(String name)) returns null if input parameter is an invalid table (e.g. some random String). As of NeXtMidas 2.7.1, MA.getTable(String name) and MA.getTable(String name, Table defTab) now throws a MidasException when the input is an invalid table. An INVALID Table input argument is one that does NOT resolve to a Table. It can still be null (when input argument is not specified). Use MA.getTable(String name, Table defTab, Args.NO_ERROR) if previous behavior is desired. For more details see Bug 1856 "Update MA.getTable(String) to ERROR if input is an invalid Table". |
BUILD | - | In NeXtMidas 2.6.0, when using the Intel compiler suite (C/C++ and/or Fortran), warnings where inadvertently suppressed via the "-w" flag specified in build.props. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.0, the "-w" flag have been removed from the Intel compilers properties ifc.comp, ifc.link, ifort.comp, and ifort.link in build.props. The baseline have been updated to build without any of the Intel compiler warnings. If an option tree can has too many warnings, their option tree may not build. It is highly recommended that user's investigate their option tree's compile/link warnings and make appropriate code changes. |
CONVERT | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.2, when using the FSTRUCT2JAVA conversion, it always generated C code and declares an "extern structure variableName;", which causes X-Midas 4.6.x+ with Intel 11.x 64-bit machine patch to fail since the patch added the "volatile" specifier to the MCOMMON structure causing NeXtOpt to not build. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.3, the "extern structure variableName" line is no longer generated in the C code. Workaround is to declare the "extern structure variableName" in a header file and include it via the /include= switch to CONVERT. For more details see Bug 2001 " NEXTOPT: cannot get nextopt to build cleanly in XMidas". |
DataFile | - | In NeXtMidas 2.6.x, DataFile.getDataTable(double offset) returned an empty Table when reading a record beyond or the end of the file (EOF). As of NeXtMidas 2.7.0, a null is returned instead. User's who would like a get back partial sub-records when reading at near the end of the file should use DataFile.readDataTable(Table tbl) instead. |
- | "Nibble and Packed Data" In NeXtMidas 2.7.3, it was discovered that incorrect byte rounding was causing the readout of record-based sub-byte data to be incorrect. This was fixed, but users who were used to the old (incorrect) data may notice a change. See Bug 1988 for details. | |
File Handlers | - | In NeXtMidas 2.6.x, unknown file types defaulted to using TextFile, even when they may be binary data. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.0, unknown file types now default to BaseFile (raw binary data). |
File Name Handling | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.0, when a filename is given without extension, the
CoreIO.findResource(..) library always looks for a local file with a .prm
then a .tmp extension. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.1, if the filename without
extension matches an existing file in the read AUX list, then it is
returned. See Bug 1584 "IF fileWithNoExtension FEXISTS does not
find existing file" for more details. It is highly recommended to use file names with extensions since it matches the software industry and is more explicit. It is anticipated that in the next beta series (2.9.x) which becomes the NeXtMidas 3.0.0 release, file names will be taken as entered when working with non Midas (BLUE) files. |
FFT | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.0 and prior, FFT defaults to packing the real part of the nyquist bin into the always zero imaginary component of the DC bin. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.1, the /PACK switch as added for Bug 1853 "FFT pack mode default" and the default is now set to UNPACK for single frame output modes (e.g. /1D) or ZERO for multiple frame output modes to be more consistent with X-Midas's MFFT, UBIQUITOUS, and SPECTRA commands. Use the /pack=DC switch to obtain the old packing mode. See explain file for more info. |
- | In NeXtMidas 2.7.3, FFT added the /PARTIAL switch to address Bug 980 "no FFT output" which changed the default to NOT output partial frames. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.4, the fix to Bug 980 have been adjusted to use a smarter default of /PARTIAL=START to better current FFT usage. Note that SPECTRA defaults to /PARTIAL=NONE for consistency with X-Midas. See the FFT and SPECTRA explain files for more info. | |
Jar Files | - | The netscape.jar and OpenMidas.jar files have not been used by SYS for some time and have been removed. Anyone with option trees that used either of these JAR files can copy them from the NeXtMidas 2.6.x release and include them with their own option tree. |
LayerT5 | - | In NeXtMidas 2.6.x, the ConeFlagVert flag in LayerT5 resulted in cones drawn on the surface of the Earth, not perpendicular to the center of the cone as documented. |
LayerWMS | - | In NeXtMidas 2.6.x, simply adding or removing a layer using "+<layer>" or "-<layer>" would cause a reordering of the layers. This could result in cases where disabling a layer with "-MyLayer" and then immediately re-enabling it by with "+MyLayer" could result in a reordering. This has been changes such that "+<layer>", "-<layer>" or (newly added) "~<layer>" do not alter the layer ordering. |
Line/Symbol | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.0, the directionality of a symbol when set by setSymbolHeading(..) or setSymbolAngle(..) was inconsistent. In addition two of the symbols (AERO and ARROW) were oriented LEFT while the rest were oriented UP. Line and Symbol were changed in NeXtMidas 2.7.1 so that all symbols have the same direction and so that setSymbolHeading(..) is consistent. This results in minor changes for users of setSymbolAngle(..) and users who used setSymbolHeading(..) with one of the triangle symbols. Users who are using setSymbolHeading(..) with AERO or ARROW should not see any changes. |
List / GridSheet | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.0, the list primitive used a non-SWING GridSheet. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.1, GridSheet has been converted to SWING to allow for SWING pop-ups to display and for better graphical cohesion when used in conjunction with other SWING elements. Users may notice certain effects (such as with Z-order) due to the fact that GridSheet is no longer a heavy-weight component. |
- | [Exiting] In NeXtMidas 2.7.3, LIST2 was changed so that a LIST2 will now exit if you hit the ENTER key will the outer window has focus (similar to plot). For more details, see Bug 1592 "LIST2: display does not close when you hit ENTER". | |
MPanel | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.0, SWING components on a non-SWING MPanel were resized to take up the entire panel. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.1, this no longer occurs, since that behavior was interfering with the new SWING GWidgets when they were placed on MPanels. There is no anticipated impact. |
MESSAGE (NeXtOpt) | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.0, NeXtOpt messages from X-Midas used a String for the FROM and TO fields. This is inconsistent with most NeXtMidas messages that use these fields to store references to the applicable MessageHandler. Since NeXtMidas 2.7.1 the FID (FromID) and TID (ToID) fields hold the applicable "XM.<id>" string while the TO and FROM hold MessageHandler references that can be used when sending messages back to X-Midas. |
RMIF | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.2, the RMIF host primitive (Fortran) populates the 'addr' field of messages it sends to the macro with a hexadecimal string like "0X588000020100007F" for the remote host IPv4 address and port (which is in network byte order) and extremely difficult to read. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.3, the 'addr' field is now populated with a human readable IPv4_address:port format string (e.g. "127.0.0.1:32856"). For more details see Bug 1917 "RMIF: (FORTRAN version) using IPADDR2HEX is bad". |
Servlet Option Tree | - | The Servlet option tree have not been used for some time and have been removed. Anyone needing this option tree can copy them from the NeXtMidas 2.6.x release. |
Shell/Macro | - | In NeXtMidas 2.6.x, the shell/macro might not wait for the primitive's open() method to complete in some cases where the primitive's open() took a long time. This affected any primitives in a PIPE section or run with the /BG switch. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.0, the shell/macro now waits for the primitive's open() to complete before starting the next primitive. |
TextFile | - | In NeXtMidas 2.6.x, the default file handler for unknown file types was TextFile. This had the potential to cause significant problems if an unknown binary file was encountered. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.0 the default file handler for unknown file types is BaseFile (i.e. raw binary). |
Thin | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.3, the Thin primitive was fixed so that it no longer creates an output file larger than the input file if the output file is specified to have more elements than the input file. |
TIMEX | - | In NeXtMidas 2.6.x, converting a non-scalar Data object (e.g. (1,0.1)) to a Time object via Args.getTime(..) or Time.toTime(..) simply took the first value and assumed that represented the time. Since NeXtMidas 2.7.0, complex values are assumed to specify whole and fractional seconds (e.g. (<wsec>,<fsec>)) while scalars are assumed to represent seconds (whole+fractional). All other types (e.g. "VD") are not supported and will produce deprecation warnings. |
- | In NeXtMidas 2.6.0, the GHA values were computed incorrectly, both for output and for storage in the Quadwords of a Type 5000 file. This computation was fixed in the NeXtMidas 2.7.0 release. NeXtMidas will check Type 5000 files generated by older versions of NeXtMidas and will issue a warning in cases where the GHA value appears incorrect. | |
- | In NeXtMidas 2.6.0, fractional seconds specified in the whole seconds (wsec) and integral seconds specified in the fractional seconds (fsec) are discarded. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.0, the integral parts and fractional seconds are both used and normalized to either the whole seconds (wsec) or fractional seconds (fsec) as appropriate. | |
PLOT | - | [Axis and Readout] In NeXtMidas 2.7.1, the Axis and Readout could be set programmatically to their defaults by passing in the zero integer (e.g. int 0). This was not documented behavior and setting to '0' (zero) was actually intended to clear values, not set to defaults. NeXtMidas 2.7.2 correctly clears these values when set to '0'. Since the previous behavior was not documented, it is not expected to impact users. |
- | [Readout: dRange] In NeXtMidas 2.6.0, the default units displayed in the plot readout for DMS was nautical miles. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.1, the default units displayed is now meters. To display in nautical miles, set PLOT parameter DRANGEUNITS=NMI. For more details, see Bug 910 "PLOT Distance readout in meters vs nmi option (when in DMS)". | |
- | [Bounds] In NeXtMidas 2.7.3., plot was changed to keep track of user interaction with regards to setting the outer bounds or viewable window bounds. This was done to prevent a race condition caused by a user modifying the bounds before the plot was done opening (or had drawn once). For more details, see Bug 1520 "Can't set plot options from java". | |
- | [ZOOM and Keyboard shortcuts] In NeXtMidas 2.7.3., plot was changed to keep mimic mainstream mapping software wrt to panning, ZOOMs and keyboard shortcuts. Certain keys (arrow keys, Page Up, Page Down, Home, End) now ZOOM or pan. These keys can be re-mapped or disabled. For more details, see Bug 1930 "PLOT: Keyboard & mouse shortcut support". | |
SWING GWidgets | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.0, all GWidgets were drawn on non-SWING panels. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.1, this is still the default but users now have the option to draw GWidgets on SWING panels, through the use of the new environment graphics theme options SWINGWIDGETS (for control panel GWidgets) and SWINGPOPUPS (for popups). Users are cautioned that realtime plots do not draw using the SWING thread, therefore these Plots will overwrite any SWING widget on top of the plot (such as a legend). If SWING widgets are desired for your plots, the environment graphics theme REALTIME should be disabled. |
SWING UI Manager | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.3, the default Swing UI Manager settings for scrollbar width and color were changed. These can also now be changed to whatever the user wishes. For more details, see BUG 1953 "Allow macro access to Swing UI manager". |
Statistics | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.2, the statistics command was altered so that if a user wishes to do piped data in pieces, he must now use the /piecewise switch. This was done for consistency with X-Midas. |
Table | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.0. It is possible to remove a key from a READONLY Table (e.g. ENV, OPT, etc.) without the FORCE flag even though a warning is display saying that the FORCE flag must be set. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.1, to remove a key from a READONLY Table use REMOVE/FORCE or the Table.FORCE flag has to be set in the attr (int mask) parameter for the the following methods: remove(String key, int attr), putx(String key, Object obj, int attr), and the clear(int attr) methods. |
Text Fields | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.0, classes utilizing text fields, text boxes, etc used the MText, MTextArea and MTextField libraries, which were based on non-SWING Panels, TextAreas and TextFields. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.1, these libraries have been deprecated and any existing baseline code which used them now uses the SWING equivalent, (MJText, MJTextArea, and MJTextField). There should be no observable difference, unless users have an application that relied on old the non-SWING behaviour. |
WAVEFORM | - | In NeXtMidas 2.7.0. The default shape was a CoSine. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.1, this has been changed to Sine. |
New Features Added
Commands | - | BUILD - Now keeps native (JNI) headers around after build so that other native code depending on those headers can compile without rebuilding the JNI headers or specifying the /keep flag which keeps many other unwanted intermediate files (e.g. *.o) around. |
- | CALCULATOR/FCALCULATOR - Added the CEIL and FACTORIAL operators. See explain file for details. | |
- | DEBUG - Added the SuperTrace function to show source code along with stack traces. See explain file for details. | |
- | DEMOD - Added /FPGA switch to model FPGA implementation of 2-D LUT approach. See explain file for details. | |
- | FIRKAIS;DSP - Generates a minimal order time-domain filter response using the FIR Kaiser technique. See explain file for details. | |
- | HTTPGET;UCL - Now have the ability to do one-shot mode with timeout, result label, optional post data, and URL on the the command line. Support for receiving messages to submit HTTP GET/POST requests was also added. A thread pool option is also available to submit multiple HTTP requests concurrently so that it does not block the current thread when an HTTP_REQUEST message is received. See explain file for details. | |
- | OPTION - /DELETE switch to logically remove defined option trees. | |
- | PATH - Added PUT function to only ADD an option if it is not already there. | |
- | REFORMAT - changes the data format of an existing MIDAS file. See explain file for details. | |
- | REGISTRY - add support for START, STOP, RUN, PAUSE, FINISH, ABORT functions and /TIMEOUT switch. See explain file for details. | |
- | SYSTEM - the DISK function to get file/disk statistics how supports non-Native file systems (aka ICE ramdisk). | |
CONVERT | - | BLUE2IMG - New function to convert BLUE type 2000 files to an image. See explain file for details. |
DATABASE | - | NMDB - New command in the DATABASE option tree to provide an easy interface to JDBC supported databases (e.g. Oracle, MySQL, etc.). |
Documentation | - | ECLIPSE - new Eclipse configuration setup section for NeXtMidas under the User's Guide -> Third-Party Compatibility. |
Environment Graphics | - | SWINGWIDGETS - Environment graphics Theme option to display GWidgets (i.e. Gcontrols) on SWING panels. |
- | SWINGPOPUPS - Environment graphics Theme option to display GWidget popup menus on SWING panels. | |
- | SWINGDB - Environment graphics Theme option to enable SWING Double Buffering on all displayed SWING objects. Note: will not effect Plots when REALTIME Theme is set. LayerMulti plots may not support double-buffering correctly when in paging mode. | |
- | SWING UI Manager - Users can now access many of the Swing UI manager objects from the Macro Language. | |
FEATURE | - | An Image or Icon (jpeg, png, ico, etc.) can used as a Symbol Feature. |
HTTPSERV | - | Can listen on any free port by using port zero and supports HTTP POST requests. A new writeMidasFile method was added to HPage to allow HTTPSERV to quickly be adapted for returning a Midas file as its response to a request. |
- | Option to alias or serve out web server root (e.g. "/") and have it handled by macro via /msgid= and /mname="/" switches. See explain file for details and $NMROOT/nxm/sys/test/test_httpserv.mm for an example. | |
- | The Date (server date/time) and Last-Modified HTTP (file date/time) headers are returned for files that it serves to allow HTTP clients to cache content that are infrequently changed (improves server and client performance). | |
- | When using custom handler via /msgid= and /mname= switch, the nxm.sys.net.HPage set in the SOCKET key of the message DATA object has the client's requested URI. See explain file for details. | |
- | The "Server" response header is now returned with "NeXtMidas/<nxm_version> Java/<jvm_version>" to help HTTP clients identity this HTTP server and software versions. | |
File Support | - | Args - Now has a factory for file handlers via a new getFile(..) method
that allows the type to be specified. This will allow the following
in your primitive:ListFile in = MA.getFile("IN", ListFile.class); CsvFile out = MA.getFile("OUT", CsvFile.class); |
- | CsvFile - Can now add customer headers to a CSV file. | |
- | DataFile - Added support for long subrecord names. | |
- | DATALIST - Now prints a hexdump-compatible format (HEX + ASCII) for unknown file types or files with the {FG=RAW} qualifier. | |
List/List2/gridSheet | - | List2 now exits when the List2 main window has focus and the ENTER key is pressed. |
- | List2 now properly displays sub-byte data (Nibble or Packed Bits) | |
Macro/Shell Enhancements | - | Macro now errors out with helpful error message if the logical test case is missing for an IF, ELSEIF, or WHILE statement or when user specifies the invalid "ELSE IF" (with a space). |
- | HttpResource now supports setting of connection timeout via a {CONNECTTIMEOUT=[sec]} qualifier on the URL, e.g. "noop http://server/file.prm{CONNECTTIMEOUT=10} outfile.tmp" | |
- | IF - Added additional logical tests. FEQ/T Compares DataFile file equality with a tolerance (like EQT). EQ/S Makes sure both have the same number of elements. EQ/B Use a binary data comparison. EQ/T Numeric A is equal to B within tolerance. EQ/M Compare the magnitude of the values of each atom. EQ/V Compare each value in an atom one-by-one. NE/? Same as NEQ/? where ? is any of the above modifiers. Added support for parenthesis in IF expressions. See the IF example file for details. |
|
- | optstart.mm - If an optstart.mm exists in the cfg area of an option tree, when that option tree is added to the path, its optstart.mm macro will be executed. This allows for option trees to do configuration, notification, etc. | |
- | RESULTS - Has better handling of deeper dot "." levels on Objects
when inspecting objects using KeyObject, e.g. RESULTS x FILE(sv1).getDataTable(1).POS
|
|
- | SEDIT - Added JOIN function to complement SPLIT function. | |
- | TIMEX - Now supports specifying whole and fractional seconds as a "complex" value to maintain
sub-microsecond precision. For example:
nM> timex (1.854534414E9,0.1116661234569) /prec=12 Time = 2008:10:07::12:26:54.111666123457Note that this same syntax is supported by the MA.getTime(..) calls so that any primitive that takes in a time value can make use of this. |
|
- | MSGDEBUG - Added /MSGDEBUG=NAME|INFO|DATA|FROM|TO|FID|TID switch to display configurable information re: Messages sent and received. | |
- | MSGID - Added default /MSGID implementation for any Command (Intrinsic, Primitives, etc.). See Bug 1387 "Default /MSGID implementation requested" for details. | |
NeXtOpt | - | Added support for 64-bit linux. |
- | Added support for X-Midas 4.6.0 using the default classic piping system (dynamic pipes and other new features in X-Midas 4.6.0 are not supported yet). There is a BETA support for XMValue. | |
- | Added support for XM.<id> syntax for all commands, not just MESSAGE and MessageQueue. | |
PANEL | - | Using the /JSETUP switch, user can override how widgets are handled in WidgetWrapper. This gives users the freedom to customize the interaction between their widgets and the macro language. See nxm.sys.inc.Widget for details. |
- | THEME: added separate control of widget title color | |
- | Any exception thrown during the PANEL's process() method is now caught and will no longer crash the PANEL (i.e. any graphical macros). | |
- | Corrupt .mmp files, PANEL will no longer die with an unfriendly error message. Instead, it will print out a user-friendly warning and then just use the default PANEL setup. | |
- | GControl xVals with the /SLIDER switch now have the option to not create a message until the slider stops moving. | |
- | Sub-Panels as of 2.7.3., can attach sub-macro panels via the config popup menu. | |
PLOT | - | ALL - As of NeXtMidas 2.7.3., users can use additional mouse and keyboard shortcuts to ZOOM and PAN. |
- | Feature menu - added "DeleteAll" menu item to PLOT - FEATURES menu to remove all features on the PLOT. | |
- | HoldRefresh - option mask or MESSAGE to PLOT to hold refreshing/painting FEATURES and/or LAYERS. See PLOT and/or FEATURE explain file for details. | |
- | Layer2D - In NeXtMidas 2.7.3., added utility to create images (PNG,JPG,GIF) from type 2000 files. | |
- | LayerGeo - Grid Size for X and Y direction are now adjustable via the GridSizeX and GridSizeY properties either on LayerGeo's creation or dynamically when running on a live plot. See test_plot_layergeo.mm for an example. | |
- | LayerKML - Supports plotting of basic KML files. As of NeXtMidas 2.7.1, added support for polling of network resources, color blending of images/icons, placement of labels around points. See PLOT explain files for details. As of 2.7.3., supports use if local files in URL hrefs. | |
- | LayerMulti2D - Allows plotting of static type 2000 files as multiple line traces (similar to xplot with a type 2000 file). For now, users of this functionality will need to add the "{LAYER={LT="Multi2d"}}" qualifier to the end of the Type 2000 file they wish to plot in this manner. | |
- | LayerShape - Can control brightness, contrast, and opacity. | |
- | LayerWMS - Add ability to convert maps and images to greyscale. | |
- | X-Cut - Add ability to do an X-Cut when user presses the 'X' key on a raster PLOT to launch a line PLOT of the values of that row. | |
POPUP | - | The default max character width (per line) of the text in a popup message is now 80 characters. This was doen to prevent very long text messages from being wider tan the screen. Users can also now change this width using the switch /POPWIDTH. |
TABLE | - | Numerous Table and KeyVector performance increases. |
- | Table now allows using any Java Collections as the backing store. | |
XBC | - | Numerous X-Midas Backwards Compatibility stability and enhancements including: BETA support for primitives.cfg to allow allow user to specify compile and link flags for whole option tree or per primitive command. Updated instructions in BUILD explain file on how to build libraries and link external libraries using *.[c,cpp,f]lib files and/or primitives.cfg. |
- | Added BETA support for X-Midas C/C++ host primitives within XBC. | |
- | Added support for following API: M$ADDT6SUBREC, M$BYTES_REQD (XM44 API), M$FILENAME_IS_PIPE (XM46 API), M$GSUB, M$GSUBL, M$SUBS, and M$SUBSL. | |
- | M$TPICK now supports wsec|fsec input. | |
- | Add the following new commands: CONCATENATE, CONTROL, DETECT, ENDCONTROLS, FANIN, FANOUT, MFFT, MULTIPLY, NORMALIZE, RQFSHIFT, SINCOSINE, STARTCONTROLS | |
Libraries | - | Javadocs - Added support for @classification at all levels (class, method, fields). |
- | HttpResource - Support HTTP 1.0 servers and some HTTP 1.1 servers that do not support the partial content (random access) reads via the "Range" request header. Sets "User-Agent" HTTP request header to be "NeXtMidas/<nxm_version> Java/<jvm_version>" to help HTTP servers identity HTTP client type. | |
- | Message - Updated toString() to default to printing out more useful message info, e.g. name, info, fid, and tid. Added toString(String list) and toString(int maskList) to allow additional user customization (e.g. to add DATA to the output). | |
- | StateVector - Added Interpolation using a Cubic Hermite Spline algorithm. Also added copy() methods to Position and StateVector that will make a copy of the values in the object (excluding any file references). | |
- | StringUtil - new ltrim() and rtrim() methods to trim leading (left trim) or trailing (right trim) white spaces (spaces, tabs, newlines, carriage returns). | |
- | Transform - New eci2ecr (eci2ecef) and ecr2eci (ecef2eci) coordinate conversion. | |
ShellGUI | - | 2.7.4 added the switch /ADDPLUS [DEF=TRUE]. Setting this to FALSE will disable the adding of the "+" at the end of wrapped lines. |
Known Third-Party Bugs
The following are known third-party bugs and limitations that may cause problems for NeXtMidas users.ALL | - | A NeXtMidas installation built on a RHEL5 machine cannot run a RHEL4 machine.
It will crash when trying to load native code (with a SIGFPE). Workaround is to disable
native code via -DNONATIVE=true property, e.g. "setenv NM_USER_JVM_FLAGS -DNONATIVE=true ".
Another workaround is to build on the RHEL4, which can run on the RHEL5 machines.
See BUG 2330 NeXtMidas built with RH53 will not run on RH44 for more details.

- | On 2011-February-08, Oracle released a patch to correct Security Alert CVE-2010-4476 (Java Runtime Environment hangs when converting some floating point strings to a binary floating-point number). This vulnerability affects all (non-patched) versions of the Java Development Kit/Java Runtime Environment prior to version 6u24. Please correct this vulnerability on your system by running the Floating Point Updater patch, or, by upgrading to the latest Java Development Kit, version 6u24 or later release. | |
GCONTROL | - | Can not see cursor or highlighted text in text-entry widgets when using Java 5.0 on Linux (Java Bug 6287895). This is fixed in Java 6.0, please upgrade to Java 6.0 to avoid this issue. |
OS | - | There is a known Java bug (4052517) that prevents OS commands from being executed in Unix when the permissions are 750 and the user's default group does not match the group of the command. The result is either a "not found" or a "cannot execute" error. This bug is fixed in Java 6. (This bug can cause the NeXtMidas build to fail under Java 5 or Java 1.4.2 when gcc does not have 755 permissions.) |
PLOT | - | There is a rendering problem when PLOT is run from a Linux session inside VirtualPC on Windows XP. This appears to be a problem with graphics drivers in some versions of VirtualPC. We have been unable to duplicate the problem on a stand-alone installation of either Linux or Windows XP. |
SOURCEDG | - | SOURCEDG running on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4) may encounter BindExceptions and/or SocketTimeoutExceptions due to a bug in the IPv6 stack on RHEL4 (see Java Bugs 6347853 and 6218155). You can avoid this issue by forcing Java to use the IPv4 stack (just do a "setenv NM_USER_JVM_FLAGS -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true" prior to running nmstart). |
XBC | - | There is a known Java bug related to garbage collection (Java Bug 6268279 and related bugs) that can cause a core dump when making extremely frequent M$... calls from a host primitive (typically seen if polling a results parameter with little or no pause between calls). Upgrade to Java 5.0 to avoid this. |
- | 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, remove the "-i-static" flag from "ifort.comp" and "ifort.link" in $NMROOT/nxm/sys/cfg/build.props before building on a 64-bit platform with the Intel 9.1/10.x/11.x compilers. With this flag disabled, users will need to run with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to include the Intel libraries. | |
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. |
Known Issues
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. | |
- | May need to use the /MOD switch when opening large files. | |
- | Type 2000 files with large frame size may not load properly. | |
- | CLICKACTION={COL=...} does not work properly (Bug 1352). | |
NeXtOpt | - | Changes in X-Midas 4.5.x prevent NeXtOpt from running. |
- | 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. | |
- | The qmessages.tbl created for use with NeXtOpt does not include comments. This is a workaround for Bug 1430 that will be fixed in the 2.7.0 release. | |
PLOT | - | A PLOT of a pipe on a hidden tab may discard data from the pipe while the tab is hidden (similar to use of the /NICE= switch). |
- | Timecode readout for large Type 2000 may give t=00:00:00. | |
XBC | - | XBC does not support running two copies of the same command simultaneously. |
- | The messages.tbl created for use with XBC does not include comments. This is a workaround for Bug 1430 that will be fixed in the 2.7.0 release. |
