[I.A.2] Sponsored Projects / RiverWare / Bug Fixes
--------------------------------------------

The following bugs were addressed in May, in preparation for the RiverWare 6.3 release:

• Two sources of crashes related to the SCT's Object Grid tab.
• Geometry fix: correct heights for display lists (of those for which the height is explicitly controlled).
• Plot dialog fix: horizontal plot marker set on the right-side axis was sometimes being switched to the left axis.

   (A) Qt3-to-Qt4 port of the SCT
-------------------------------------------

Porting of the SCT's series data tables was resumed in April and completed in May 2013 for RiverWare 6.4. This completes the full port of the SCT to Qt4. No significant functional enhancements were developed, but the new implementation performs better with very large series. This is partially due to improvements in Qt, but mostly a result of architectural improvements at the application level.

This SCT porting work was based on an analysis done last year:

• SCT Series Table Qt3 to Qt4 Port -- March 2012
  R:\doc\Qt\2012\Qt4Port\SctQt4PortAnalysis-2012mar12.pdf

In May 2013, the following tasks were completed:

• Completion of the "application-level" cell selection representation (in slots and timesteps) with improved and simplified coordination of the cell selections in the two tables (row header table and sct data table).
• Incell editing and cell navigation features.
• Context menus for the two tables (row header table and sct data table).
• "Import Paste" operation reintegration.
• SCT printing
• General correctness and usability testing.

   (B) Qt3-to-Qt4 Port Completion
-------------------------------------------

An analysis for completion of the Qt3-to-Qt4 RiverWare port was prepared, and porting work resumed:

• Qt4 Port Completion for RiverWare 6.4 / Analysis, May 2013
  R:\doc\Qt\2013\Qt4Port\Qt4PortCompletionPlanning-2013-05.pdf

In May, Qt3 widgets and classes in all RiverWare libraries (with the exception of DbDmi) were replaced with Qt4 widgets and classes. Additionally recoding of the use of Qt3 compatibility methods with Qt4 started, and will probably be completed in June.

[Note: Bill is also reporting Qt4 porting work this month, in DbDmi].
