Vis5d+ provides enhancements and development for the Vis5d scientific visualization tool, a program to display volumetric datasets in 3+ dimensions.

The 1.2.0 release of vis5d+ is out and with this release VIS5D+ has gained an endorsement from Bill Hibbard, original author of vis5d: "Thank you for this excellent work. I have modified the Vis5D web page to say that Vis5d+ is the recommended version. But we will still serve our older versions of Vis5D (5.2 beta,5.1, 5.0, etc) for those who want them."

Vis5d+ 1.0.1 is now available, with several bugfixes, including fixes for crashing bugs under Linux. Linux multithreading now works.

I'm pleased to announce release 1.0 of Vis5d+, a program for volumetric visualization of scientific data in 3+ dimensions. Many advanced features, such as OpenGL for interactive 3d manipulation and rendering, animation, Tcl scripting, and map projections for geographic data, are supported.

Vis5d+ is based upon a program called Vis5d, for which I had been maintaining a version with an autoconf-based build process with the blessing of the original Vis5d developers. Vis5d also has had an unusually large number of other forked enhancements in the past; hopefully, some of these may be merged into Vis5d+.

We hope that Vis5d+ will become a central repository for such enhancements in the future, thanks to SourceForge's collaboration and hosting features. We are working closely with the original Vis5d developers to stay in sync with the mainline tree, and hope that future forks can be prevented.

Cordially,
Steven G. Johnson
