Hello-
We are working on the next IDV release (2.0) due out at the beginning of
August. In preparation for that we have put out a pre-release
candidate on our downloads site. This release contains numerous new
features and updates, several of them resulting from user input. One
significant difference is the "dashboard" that has been created to
alleviate the problem of the IDV opening numerous popups. The dashboard
is a dock for the Data Chooser, Field Selector, and the Display Control
windows and also provides quick access to users' favorite bundles,
history menus, and saved data sources.
If any of you want to give this version a whirl, you can
access it through the IDV downloads page at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv
Please send any problems/questions to support-idv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Also, please note that the User's Guide is not up to date for
this release. We will be working on that over the next
couple of weeks in time for the final 2.0 release.
