DisplayCAL 3.8 released

Florian Hoech — Fri, 26 Apr 2019 02:27:53 -0000

Added in this release:

[Feature] SpyderX support (requires ArgyllCMS 2.1.0 or newer,
use ArgyllCMS 2.1.0_mod to be able to skip instrument self-
calibration).
[Feature] Colorimeter correction information with graph.
[Feature] Synthetic ICC profile creator: Drag & drop support
for TI3 measurement files.
[Enhancement] Rudimentary support for hypothetical future
instruments and their measurement modes (any new instrument
support added to ArgyllCMS in the future should be fully usable
in DisplayCAL right away without needing an update for
instrument-specific measurement modes).
[Enhancement] Prefer colorimeter corrections from “ArgyllCMS”
folder and ignore duplicate (spectral) colorimeter corrections
from “color” folder (e.g. installed by HCFR under Windows).
[Enhancement] Display technology information to aid in the
choice of a suitable measurement mode or correction.
[Enhancement] Default to high-resolution spectrum mode (if
available) for spectrometers that support it.
[Enhancement] Include some additional spectral sample
colorimeter corrections when importing for i1 Display Pro and
ColorMunki Display (e.g. MacBook Pro 2016 Retina with PFS
Phosphor WLED “P3” display, LG OLED 6-series WOLED based on
samples from LG C6 and E6 OLED TVs, sourced and combined from
community colorimeter corrections database contributions).

Changed in this release:

[UI] Updated simplified chinese localization (thanks to Mars).
[UI] Updated french localization (thanks to Jean-Luc Coulon).
[Enhancement] Implicitly try to skip repeat instrument self-
calibration for colorimeters that want it if already done at
least once per measurement run.
[Enhancement] Converted translation file format from JSON to
YAML for better readability.
[Enhancement] Use a localized description for known quality
spectral sample colorimeter corrections.
Use an application-specific download directory for updates and
supporting files.

Fixed in this release:

[Minor] Not all programmed measurement modes were enumerated
for the K10-A colorimeter (regression of a change in DisplayCAL
3.7, SVN revision r5557).
[Minor] ColorHug/ColorHug2 “auto” measurement mode was not
working anymore.
[Trivial] Curve viewer: Re-introduced being able to view the
current contents of the video card gamma table if no display
profile is set or the profile used does not contain
calibration.
[Cosmetic] Curve viewer, profile information: Curve graphing
identical channel detection was not working properly in some
cases (only affected synthetic curves).
