• Fixed a bug that prevented some v3 PhysiCell trajectories from loading

Pull requests included in this release

• Fix/use "new" to construct a new instance of Color by @schoinh in #227

v3.2.1

What's Changed

🐞 Bug Fix

• The class FrontEndError is now exported from this app so that other apps can use it.

Full Changelog: v3.2.0...v3.2.1

v3.2.0

What's Changed

🎉 New features

• The viewer can now throw errors with specific severity levels (error, warning, info)
• A nightly build of the test viewer is now available at https://allen-cell-animated.github.io/simularium-viewer/

🐞 Bug Fix

• Fixed a bug that sometimes rendered splotchy colors for individual agents

⛏ Maintenance

• Error messages are now thrown in a consistent manner -- each error message meant to be displayed to the user in an application using the viewer is thrown as a FrontEndError

Pull requests included in this release

• fix issue with color varying across same agent by @toloudis in #222
• add a nightly build script by @meganrm in #221
• Feature/error levels by @meganrm in #223

v3.1.0

What's Changed

🎉 New features

• Molecular structures hosted by the Protein Databank can be now loaded using an ID.
• mmCIF files are now supported.

⛏ Maintenance

• The unmodified state of the agent is being defined by the data and set to the viewer instead of being added by the website.
• If all the states for an agent group have the same color, the agent group is assigned that color as well.

🐞 Bug Fix

• Display groups of agent states no longer get a color if the states have different colors.

Pull requests included in this release

• add unmodified to displaydata by @meganrm in #216
• Fix/parent color by @meganrm in #213
• load PDB by ID and mmCIF files by @toloudis in #215

Full Changelog: v3.0.4...v3.1.0

v3.0.3

Pull requests included in this release

• Fix/color types by @meganrm in #208

Full Changelog: v3.0.2...v3.0.3

User defined colors and instanced PDBs

What's Changed

🎉 New features

• The user defined colors in trajectory file info version 3 is now being applied to the agents.
• PDBs are being instanced to improve performance.

⛏ Maintenance

• Grouped files responsible for rendering geometry into one folder for better file structure organization.
• Moved client simulator implementations outside of main library, so it won't be installed in parent apps.

Pull requests included in this release

• Feature/move visgeo file by @meganrm in #193
• move visgeometry-associated files inside of visgeometry by @toloudis in #194
• Feature/user colors by @meganrm in #196
• Feature/instanced pdb by @toloudis in #198

Full Changelog: v3.0.0...v3.0.1

Simularium file info version 3

Enhancements:

The viewer was updated to accept simularium trajectoryInfo version 3 data

The new file format includes an optional geometry field.

geometry: 
    displayType:  type “SPHERE”, “CUBE”, “GIZMO”, “FIBER”, “PDB”, or “OBJ”. //Default to “SPHERE”, or “FIBER” if subpoints
    url: string. // local path or web URL, web URLs are required for streaming or loading the trajectory by URL
    color: string. // hex value 

This allows users to specify their own geometry files, either by loading them along with their local .simularium file or by including a url to a publicly hosted file.

Warn user if server connection is invalid

Possible scenarios of issues with websockets connection:

1. fail to establish connection
2. connect, but becomes invalid
3. valid connection, but slow operation

Each will result in a warning to the user of what's happened.

v2.9.7

Welcome to the first full release notes for simularium-viewer.
This note will summarize highlights since the public release of December 2020. Future release notes will be able to be more specific and granular.

Enhancements:

• Add camera panning
• Rendering optimization: use GPU instancing for mesh geometry and fibers (~10x speedup)
• Complete rewrite of fiber agent rendering
• Trajectories can now specify an initial camera view
• Trajectory agent data can now be delivered as binary (faster data transmission, faster processing on client)

Bug Fixes

• Many small issues with timing: frames being skipped, frame advance
• Problems changing trajectories: previous agent data still remaining or new trajectory failing to render
