*New in 5.2


Engine
problem with gating on LMD files (coulter)
crash in diva files
compensation errors on engine side
Better error reporting from Engine
ctrl c ctrl v keystrokes in LE
need different error if no dongle
transform doesn't work for axes
Can't graph sample with stat on a compensated parameter


 


Graph
transforming option bug
graphing options in graph window don't cause window refresh
outliers drawn inside contours
histogram refreshing misbehavior
deleting gates from GW doesn't delete them from WS
histo gating tool allowed on bivariate plots
statistics disclosure triangle
wrong graph type in options panel
polygon gate inverted
delete gate population doesn't update active gate option panel
duplication of gates by applying to all samples
diva gating problems
histogram axis labeled wrong
y axis scaling should be disabled for 2 dimensional plots
null pointer exception thrown when changing graph and Y axis type
changing transform prefs can yield incorrect graph
glitch in histogram Y axis, parameter and file specific
CDF on Y axis values and label are wrong
graph color change when auto scaling changed
histogram and CDF Y axis label gets reset but graph stays the same
when a change in a gate is made and is updated for all graphs it adds a new gate.



Layout
Screen update during batch operation leads to multiple screen paints
histogram overlay legend problems (line style, coloring)
saved layouts too big in area
copy and paste from LE to powerpoint doesn't work
outliers in LE charts drawn on top
count stat nodes not calculated
Annotating layout editor graph with full path produces empty legend

paste from one layout editor to another only displays placeholder
image copied from layout editor to external target is too large
opened layout editor may be off screen
all figs in Layout Editor, rather than selected figs, are pasted to external target
text editor not working correctly in layout window
only histogram overlay works in layout window
scale to page problem



Other
data files from different vendors don't open in same workspace
platforms/define transformation
creating quad gate causes unnecessary plotting
Confirmation dialog's "Don't ask again" checkbox assumes you selected yes

Preferences
hardware address field
prefs for stat text size in GW doesn't work
FlowJo not multi-user aware under XP
diva looks for nondiva transform pref settings

Table
column name field typing problems
custom column names ignored

Workspace
group overlapping doesn't work
adding folders with non-fcs data
duplicate files allowed in groups
gate frequencies decimal places
Change color of group not taking effect
deleting stat in ws doesn't delete stat description in graph window
Save As function from Workspace menu
nested gate nodes that are dragged to a population cannot be graphed
workspace saved with samples graphed as histograms get error when graph type changed
statistic node error
data files in same directory as workspace should be found automatically
new workspaces come up on top of old ones
drag sample from desktop does not get added to selected group

New in 5.0 /
Beta27:


* new/fixed in b27:

Global:
update program: the last posted Beta installer has a "update.exe" program.
If your computer is connected to the internet, this program will update your
Beta FlowJo whenever a new version is posted. This reduces the size and
length of the download.


Workspace:
- fixed the node selection bug
- fixed the %ile stat returning 0.3 bug
- added a "select none" item in the edit menu
- dragging a new node to a group will overwrite and update all other
equivalent gates in that group
- right click menu added in workspace
- no more preference crashes.
- engine errors will come up for each required computation.

Layout:
- Improved SVG output, Adobe Illustrator will open them fine (and modify)
- improved header/footer annotation and spacing
- alt-dragging graphs will duplicate them in Layout Editor
- right-click functions added in Layout Editor
- images can be inserted into the layout now, but only through the Object
menu item



New in Beta24:


Update client:
the installer will put a shortcut to "update" to the destination you specify. From future versions on, this program will allow for smaller downloads to update the critical components of flowjo (the .dll engine and flowjo.jar). This will reduce the download size from 20MB to about 2.


Workspace:
- put restraints on gating space, gates will be 'caught' by the boundries of GW

Layout:
- fill color in graphs
- frequencies in graphs
- histogram y axis
- histogram overlays fixed up
- batching fixed up
- control sample works
- saving batch settings


Graph Window:
- now able to delete populations from GW
- paste gate fixed
- saving as SVG fixed
- gate tinting fixed
- fixed elliptic gate movement


Engine:
- outliers added to pseudocolor, zebra, density plots


New in Beta22:


Workspace:
- fixed LMD data support (text2fcs)
- fixed LMD data support (winMDI)
- FlowJo "remembers" graph types in the workspace


Layout:
- fixed up overlays
- added ancestry
- fixed contour plots


Graph Window:
- transformation of graphs
- fixed contours
- made histograms nicer
- changed quad gate naming


New in Beta20:


WORKSPACE
- the blank graph problem
- compensation is possible of more than one sample at a time
- folders and files alike can be added to workspace by dragging on "all samples"
- fixed FJ's inability to read HWA's on non-English versions of windows


LAYOUT EDITOR
- batched layouts will display correct axes labels and the stats will be calculated properly
- layout names are now saved


TABLE EDITOR
- table editor output can be copied to the clipboard and pasted elsewhere
- table's are now named right
- added support for custom table header names


ENGINE
- annotated engine error codes


PREFERENCES
- specifying cell number per dot plot will work



New in Beta19:


WORKSPACE
- added "show time since last save" feature
- fixed Cyan data support
- added DiVa data support, but the parameters still need work
- fixed compensation. how to compensate -
http://www.flowjo.com/win/html/compensation.html


GRAPH WINDOW
- fixed histogram gate pinning
- space bar implemented as polygon gate abort key
- deleted populations will no longer show as 'gates' in graph windows


New in Beta18:


WORKSPACE
- show $pns as reagent in group definition dialog
- make a new group, make a subpop, # samples in group gets flooded from the all samples group
- it is possible to open multiple compensation definition dialogs
- users should be able to open our test data (http://www.flowjo.com/demo_data.html) without a serial number


New in Beta17:


WORKSPACE
* some LSR data contains blank spaces in keywords. This caused FJ to display
statistics as "0", this is now fixed.
* users should now be able to save workspaces anywhere (desktop, user folders, etc..)
and open them, too ;)


LAYOUT EDITOR
* statistics would show as "*", this is now fixed.
* pressing the print button in LE prints the layout with the scroll bar (fixed)


New in Beta16:


*serial numbers
* When renaming a node in the workspace, delete key or arrow keys are not enabled.
* edit/copy menu item does not work (table editor)
* 'forward scatter on X axis by default' preference does not work
* fixed histograms (triangle defect)
* saving workspaces: you should now be able to save workspaces to flowjo's home directory (c:\program files\flowjo\), but the data files can be anywhere on your computer


New in Beta15:


*Force recalc stats upon generating a table for all involved statistics
doesn't happen (TE assumes they are calc'ed)
*Rectangle line in LE: dotted doesn't work; text box: line weight is the
same no matter what the choice
*Gate frequency shows in graphs in LE only if they're enabled in GW prefs
*Some graph annotations exceed the length of the annotation box (text
sticks out). I noticed this happens after batching - both in original
and batched layouts.
*Offset histograms needs improvement, %angle, and Y axis
*'Checked items remain locked' - in chart def, doesn't work. the triangle
icon changes once clicked, but does not change back.
*Show gates/freq on graphs doesn't work
*Problems with printing more than one graph on the layout.
*Newly batched layouts show the first sample info over and over.
*'Forward scatter on X axis by default' in preferences doesn't work


New in Beta13:


* added support for large (>300K events) multi parameter files (now able to plot/gate etc)
* references to FCS files are relative, program will ask for missing files if the
workspace is moved (relative to the data files) but it will ask for each file ;)
* keyword-defined columns saved in preferences will show in a new workspace
regardless of data having those keywords
* $FIL will now only show the file name, not the whole path.
