Oviyam 
Web DICOM browser

Release 0.6 - 26 December 2007

This release has taken longer than expected but I think you'll agree with me that the delay has been worth it. So as a Boxing Day special here's what's new:

We finally have a name! After going through several suggestions we now present Oviyam (IPA: [ovɪyum] - Tamil for art. In Tamil: ஓவியம்), Web DICOM browser. I now know the difficulties faced by parents in naming their kids. You have my sympathies ￼

Under the hood
	•	Now licensed under MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1 to bring it in compliance with the dcm4che project
	•	Now using Ant to create builds

WYSIWYG
	•	Ground up rewrite using CSS & AJAX
	•	W3C compliance
	•	Single window interface - earlier versions would sometimes spawn a new window
	•	Configuration option for Host name, port, AETitle & WADO port (WADO port issue pointed out by Phil)
	•	Patient list slides out of view when a study or series is selected (Idea suggested by Ron Sweeney)
	•	Toggle Series pane in & out of view
	•	Keyboard shortcuts to navigate & move back and forth between images in a series
	•	Display of non-square images with proportional scaling (Issue pointed out by Jan)
	•	Pan & Zoom
	•	Launch Oviyam with a study/series context (Peter & Damien had asked for this.) We're using the syntax defined by Bill for Xero. More details soon.
Known bugs
	•	The query results present different studies for the same patient as separate lines
	•	Sliders do not work properly in Safari
	•	Date picker is MIA in the query screen
	•	Not tested under Safari 2.0, Internet Explorer or Opera - results are unpredictable (Firefox & Safari 3.0 are the preferred browsers for now)

Keyboard shortcuts:
	•	P - toggle patient list
	•	S - toggle series preview
	•	G - Grid view
	•	M - Mosaic view
	•	L - Plat images in a Loop
	•	Up / Left arrow / [-] - move to next image in series
	•	Down / Right arrow / [+] - move to next image in series

A special word of appreciation to my team who've spend several long days and nights to get this out.

So what are you waiting for? It's time to download away.

As usual new ideas and feedback are always welcome
