time for an update

I'm running out of space on my piece of paper here, so I think it's time for an update. ;-)

Fixes

  • fixed some regressions in the flow editor due to changes relating to better Swing thread queuing

    • when copy/pasting actor with variable, variable disappeared

    • creating a callable actor didn't no update the tree immediately

  • the showProperties option of the ImageViewer sink now works inside the DisplayPanelManager as well

Changes

  • added the DATETIMEMSEC type to the DateTimeType enum

  • added DATETIMEMSEC support to the following conversions

    • ConvertDateTimeType

    • DateTimeTypeToString

    • ExtractDateTimeField

    • StringToDateTimeType

  • added DATETIMEMSEC support to the following actors

    • DateTimeTypeDifference

    • SpreadSheetConvertCells

    • SpreadSheetConvertHeaderCells

  • Flow editor: long files now get shortened for the tab; hovering over the tab reveals the full name

  • Cast control actor no longer throws a cast exception when using Unknown

  • data containers now list Notes and Reports in the debug inspection as well

  • adams-spreadsheet: SpreadSheetSetCell and SpreadSheetGetCell now support Row objects as well apart from SpreadSheet ones

  • adams-heatmap: the report table in the HeatmapDisplay can be hidden now

  • native ADAMS file choosers now offer a Filter text field which allows the display of files/dirs to be restricted to the ones that contain this substring (case-sensitive) - useful when looking for a single file or group of files in directories with 1000s of files

  • adams-weka: the WekaModelReader now has an option makeThreadSafe which attempts to make the loaded classifier thread-safe, if necessary (using the ThreadSafeClassifierWrapper mentioned below)

Additions

  • adams-heatmap: added the CountValues meta-generator

  • adams-heatmap: added TextOverlay for HeatmapDisplay sink

  • adams-core: added support for named counters, i.e., counters that count how often a string passes through

    • CounterInit (standalone/transformer) - initializes/resets a named counter in internal storage

    • CounterAdd (transformer) - increments the counter for the string representation of the token passing through

    • Counter (source) - outputs the names with their associated counts as spreadsheet

  • adams-weka: added an interface ThreadSafeClassifier that indicates that a classifier is thread-safe (Weka classifiers/filters aren't by design) and a generic ThreadSafeClassifierWrapper meta-classifier that attempts to make the wrapped classifier safer (there are no guarantees, though; if the code is bad by design, this won't help either)

Just a heads-up... There will be a new release coming up in the next couple of weeks (as part of my preparations for a data mining workshop end of November).
