v1.0
Butterfly Viewer 1.0 Release Notes
Butterfly Viewer 1.0 is its first public release with major updates from 0.3.
This release was tested on Python 3.6.
Highlights
- Improved support for high pixel density screens (4K monitors, Retina displays) and text scaling.
- Smoothing of image pixels (upsampling) is now off by default.
- ...but pixel upsampling can be now toggled via the right-click menu:
- on to interpolate pixels when overzoomed — a "smoothed" appearance; and
- off to leave pixels unaltered when overzoomed — you can see each pixel.
- A new opacity slider for the base image in sliding overlays, allowing you to enhance the appearance of overlayed layers (such as alphascale maps) by "fading away" the underlying layer.
- Refactored codebase with docstring documentation.
