(102) New Feature (03/31/10/JCJ/CIF):  The Google Icon is now an available Utilities column type.

(101) New Feature (03/31/10/JCJ/CIF):  The Google Icon is now available from within tree-style menus.

(100) Improvement (03/31/10/JCJ/CIF):  The ASCII and Excel imports/exports now include the Google Icon field within the location table. 

(99) New Feature (03/31/10/JCJ/CIF):  Add a new type of table, called an XYZ-Comment table has been added to the project database.  This table will be used within later versions of the product.

(98) New Feature (03/31/10/JCJ):  Added a new location field for the collar offset representing the distance down to the ground level for when the elevation represents a platform or collar height.   

(97) Improvement (03/31/10/JCJ):  The RESTORE command in RCL file will now only restore the project settings to default and not the global settings. (The user is logged out at the end of the RCL script if using network licensing)

(96) Improvement (03/31/10/JCJ):  Two new RCL commands to adjust the project dimensions:

SCAN_BOREHOLES to scan all boreholes and

SCAN_ENABLED to scan enabled boreholes.

(95) Cosmetic (03/31/10/JCJ):  Changed 'Log' to 'Borehole' on Borehole Manager File menu.

(94) Improvement (03/31/10/JCJ):  Added error handling for blank data in Misc Table import (ASCII and Excel).   Also added reporting of which line of input data is bad if there is an error.

(93) Improvement (03/31/10/JCJ/CIF):  Symbol editors now appear with a single mouse click (versus a double mouse click).

(92) New Feature (03/31/10/JCJ):  Added an import (ASCII and Excel) for Stratigraphy Tops.  This will allow the import of bases or calculate the bases from the top of the next Stratigraphy layer.

(91) Improvement (03/31/10/JCJ):  Added row numbers to the grid type reports and moved column units to the header for Lithology and Stratigraphy volumetric reports.  Data-grid reports will now be cleared each time before being rewritten.

(90) Improvement (03/31/10/JCJ):  Multiple profiles can now be saved in the database. This is similar to how Fences and Sections work. (Refactored the classes for improved cohesion)

(89) Improvement (03/26/10/MIW):  RockWorks now saves polygons vertices in counterclockwise order when creating KML and KMZ files for Google Earth.  This fixes sporadic problems when viewing exported files within Google Earth in which the polygons are displayed in "Absolute" or "Relative" elevation modes.

(88) New Feature (03/16/10/JCJ):  A new program has been added for importing stratigraphy tops (and optionally bases) from a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file or Excel Spreadsheet.  This importer follows along the line used for imports or I-Data, P-Data, etc.  The Tops can be expressed as Elevations or Depths from the top of the borehole.  If you are importing Tops the program can optionally calculate the Bases based on the next formation’s Top.  This new option is available from the Stratigraphy / Import sub-menu as well as the Stratigraphy Import button on the Stratigraphy tab.  Note:  This importer assumes vertical boreholes if you are importing elevations.

(87) New Feature (03/16/10/JPR):  The Model, Profile, Section, Fence, and Plan Map programs within the Borehole Manager / Aquifers menu now provide an option for overriding the automatic grid naming convention by specifying a "root name".  The suffixes of "_top.grd", "_base.grd", and "_isopach.grd" will be added to this root name when creating aquifer grids.

(86) Removal (03/16/10/JPR):  All references to "Tessellation" within the Google Earth related programs have been removed.  Instead, the program always tessellates polylines and polygons when creating Google Earth files.  The tessellation is only used by Google Earth when diagrams are "clamped" to the ground.

(85) New Feature (03/12/10/MIW/JCJ/JPR/CIF):  The Borehole Manager / Location tab now includes a special "Google Earth" icon that will be used when creating borehole location maps within Google Earth (see item #21 within the next quarters' [4/1/10-6/31/10] revision list).

Clicking on the Google Earth icon will present the user with a menu of available icons.  Double-click on one of these icons to select it.

(84) Improvement (03/11/10/MIW):  The Kriging algorithm's performance has been substantially improved for large data sets and dense grids by using multi-threading and quad trees to calculate the grid.  In addition the Lag Stream performance has been increased by 1,000% by only performing calculations on distance qualified pairs.  The following table shows some sample times (in milliseconds).  Very small data sets will actually run slower (due to the quad-tree/tread management), but large data sets are radically improved.

(83) Removal (03/10/10/JPR):  The "Decimals" option within the Borehole Manager / Map / Adjust Coordinates / Longitude/Latitude -> Easting/Northing option has been removed.

(82) Bug Fix (03/10/10/JPR):  The UTM zone selection menu no longer hangs up with selected video cards (e.g. triple-monitors).

(81) Bug Fix (03/09/10/MIW):  Blank file names in the tree-style menus now allow users to select a file for input or output.

(80) Enhancement (03/09/10/MIW):  The mouse wheel (if you have one) may now be used to zoom in or out of an image within the Image Rectification Calibration window.

(79) Bug Fix (03/09/10/MIW):  The Image Rectification program now rotates images in the proper direction.

(78) New Feature (03/09/10/MIW):  Lithology, Stratigraphy, I-Data, T-Data, P-Data, Fractures, Water Levels and Well Construction can now be exported as ESRI 3D Shape files with data attributes for display and analysis in ArcScene.  This new capability is accessed via the new Borehole Manager / Striplogs / Exports / 3D Shape Files menu.

 Caveats: 

• Interval based data can be exported as PolylineZ or PointZ files.

• Point data is calculated as the midpoint of an interval.

• Missing Tops or Bases will be exported with a user specified null value.

• Point based data only exports as PointZ files.

• Once shape files have been added to ArcScene, the data can be queried and classified.

(77) Improvement (03/04/10/MIW):  The RockPlot2D / Export / KML (Google Earth) program now includes an option for adjusting the overall opacity of all items within the overlay.

(76) Bug Fix (03/01/10/MIW):  The RockPlot2D Clipping Utility now clips bitmaps to the size specified by the user.

(75) Bug Fix (02/25/10/MIW):  Loading grids that only contain null values in RockPlot3D no longer give an Invalid Floating Point error.

(74) Bug Fix (02/24/10/MIW):  Plotting I-Data in a 3D Borehole with the size based on a table now assigns the correct hot to cold colors based on the data range in the project.

(73) Improvement (02/23/10/MIW):  Solid Resampling can now be done with a 2x2x2, 3x3x3 or 4x4x4 filter. The smaller filter is faster while the larger filters provide more smoothing. Filter based resampling is much faster than sector based resampling but may show some edge effects.

(72) New Feature (02/22/10/JCJ):  The endpoint coordinates of profiles are now saved within the project database so that their names can be saved/remembered easily for use later and during subsequent exporting.  This allows for repetitive profile creation, instead of having to export the menu settings of every profile or create an RCL script.  The profiles (Profile Table) are saved similarly to how Fences (XY Pair Table) and Sections (XY Coordinate Table) are saved. The saved data includes the coordinates X1, Y1, X2, Y2, and Swath size and is limited to one row of data.  The current profile data being used is still saved in the ini file.  The user then uses the import and export menu to read from or save to alternate profiles.

(71) Improvement (02/22/10/MIW):  The Grid Resampling can now be done using a 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 filter.  The smaller filter is faster while the larger filters provide more smoothing.  Filter-based resampling is now significantly faster than sector-based resampling but may show some edge effects.

(70) Improvement (02/21/10/MIW):  The Lithologic Closest Point solid modeling algorithm is now significantly faster thanks to a new point-searching method.

(69) Improvement (02/20/10/MIW):  The Closest Point solid modeling algorithm is now significantly faster thanks to a new point-searching method.

(68) Improvement (02/19/10/MIW):  The Closest Point solid modeling algorithm is now significantly faster thanks to a new point-searching method.

(67) Improvement (02/18/10/MIW):  A new point searching algorithm has been added to the Closest-Point (Polyhedral) gridding algorithm thereby significantly improving the processing speed.

(66) Improvement (02/17/10/MIW):  It is now possible to create a stratigraphic profile if a stratigraphic contact grid is missing.  The previous version required that a grid exist for every stratigraphic top and bottom.

(65) Cosmetic (02/09/10/JCJ):  The hint for the color column in the Striplog 2D designer now says Colors instead of Vector Text.

(64) Bug Fix (02/09/10/JCJ):  Menus that created a report in a grid form were previously not clearing the grid if the report was recreated.  The grid will now be cleared each time the Process button is clicked.

(63) New Feature (02/09/10/JCJ):  The menu for the Color / Import / Comments -> Colors program has an additional option to choose a replacement color if the comment is blank or has no match in the Color Names table.  The user can also choose to do nothing to the current color in this case.

(62) Bug Fix (02/09/10/JCJ):  When the user imports project menu settings, the new settings are now being written back to the disk.

(61) Improvement (02/09/10/JCJ):  The Land Grid table is now saved in within the system database. The import options for the Land Grid table have been adjusted to import into this table and added to the editor for this table.

(60) Bug Fix (02/09/10/JCJ):  The download of the RockWare Landbase files no longer prompts the user to open it. 

(59) Cosmetic (02/09/10/JCJ):  The Widgets Menu is now expanded to allow selection of the Widget’s page.  This makes the Widget menu item more consistent with the other top-level menu items.

(58) New Feature (02/09/10/JCJ):  If RockWorks was closed with the Project Manager hidden, when RockWorks was restarted the user could not open it.  The Project Manager now has a menu item on the Project menu to open/close it.

(57) Improvement (02/09/10/JCJ):  In the Color System Filter dialog a warning was added that filter will be ignored if no Color System is selected for the filter.

(56) Improvement (02/09/10/JCJ):  P-Text and I-Text imports from LogPlot no longer include the terminator (^) on the end of the line.

(55) Improvement (02/09/10/JCJ):  The Color | Import | Raster Imagery -> Colors program (bitmaps_to_colors) now adjusts for the Header Base and Footer Top, as well as bad stored dimensions.

(54) Bug Fix (02/09/10/JCJ):  When opening a RockWorks 14 project in RockWorks15 some users received a warning the Project Tables were missing even though they were created as RockWorks upgraded the project.
