New versions of the Earth Observation Mission CFI Software have been released!

- Version 3.7.6 (C Libraries) [v3.x branch] can be downloaded here, with the release notes available here.

- Version 4.17 (C, C++, Java Libraries) [v4.x branch] can be downloaded here. with the release notes available here.

User registration is required. Please find detailed instructions here.

The following is a summary of new features and problems solved in Version 4.17.


New Features

  • Added support for Generic DEM raster format
  • Enabled direct grid access to DEM cell values
  • Updated Java API to allow explicitly release resources

    IMPORTANT: To use the new Java API, the user application must now explicitly release the resources by calling the close() method. To adopt EOCFI  Java 4.17 we recommend all users to update their implementation.

Bug Fixes

  • Corrected leap second representation when converting Processing time to ASCII format
  • Corrected the setup of custom azimuth/elevation when using xp_set_az_el_definition
  • Corrected orbit initialization when using xo_orbit_init_def with inclination
  • Corrected orbit initialization to ensure xo_orbit_init_def and xo_orbit_init_file produce the same result
  • Corrected handling of Swath Definition Files when using type XV_FILE_STF
  • Removed spurious error messages generated during orbit initialization due to internal error handling issue
  • Corrected orbit initialization from CryoSat DORIS Navigation files  (*)
  • Corrected DEM intersection solution when using XP_STD_INIT Atmosphere
  • Removed spurious error messages generated during time initialization due to internal error handling issue
  • Corrected time/orbit initialization based on DORIS Navigation files
  • Removed spurious error messages generated during orbit initialization from ORBPRE files
  • Adjust orbit validation diagnostics obtained after reading multiple POD orbit files 
  • Removed spurious warning messages generated when loading Orbit Scenario File
  • Removed restriction regarding presence of J2000 Navigation packets in DORIS Navigation files (affecting C++ API only)
  • Corrected crash on call to xp_target_range
  • Corrected OSF-based orbit initialization against the time initialized from ROF orbit file
  • Corrected the time conversion from XL_PROC to XL_ASCII_CCSDSA_COMPACT (*)
  • Corrected Swath initialization to allow using initialized Atmosphere definition
  • Corrected the setup of default satellite XL_SAT_DEFAULT5

 (*) Apart from being fixed in Version 4.17, this issue has also been backported to Version 3.7.6.
