# Version History #
# #
#----------------------------------------------------#
Changes in 4.2.4 (2023-03-18):
- Implemented backup copies of recent config files.
- Session names with special reserved names are no longer allowed.
- Added option to allow import of images for a patient when the PatientId values are different because of uppercase/lowercase.
- Corrected an issue with NULL ExamDate stopping moves.
- Changed File-system migration import to be controlled by file extension(s).
Changes in 4.2.3 (2021-11-11):
- Correct illegally long segment names resulting from Prequalification or Representative Sample operations.
- Added a new validation option query type, UseExodusDb, that uses the Exodus DB exam data, instead of querying the source (or possibly the destination) directly. This is especially useful when the source PACS is no longer responding correctly to queries, or when Exodus already has the needed validation information in its database.
Changes in 4.2.2 (2021-10-26):
- Expanded the list of supported transfer syntaxes when routing images through Exodus. The supported list is:
Uncompressed
Implicit VR Little Endian
Explicit VR Little Endian
Explicit VR Big Endian
Compressed
JPEG Baseline (Process 1)
JPEG Extended (Process 2 & 4)
JPEG Lossless, Non-Hierarchical (Process 14)
JPEG Lossless, Non-Hierarchical, First-Order Prediction (Process 14 [Selection Value 1])
JPEG-LS Lossless Image Compression
JPEG-LS Lossy (Near-Lossless) Image Compression
JPEG 2000 Image Compression (Lossless Only)
JPEG 2000 Image Compression
JPEG 2000 Part 2 Multi-component Image Compression (Lossless Only)
JPEG 2000 Part 2 Multi-component Image Compression
MPEG2 Main Profile / Main Level
MPEG2 Main Profile / High Level
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile / Level 4.1
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 BD-compatible High Profile / Level 4.1
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile / Level 4.2 For 2D Video
RLE Lossless
- Priors segments have new functionality which allow them to choose whether they will generate queries to the Source archive. Newly created Priors segments will default to using only exams which are already in the Exodus database (i.e. exams which were queried by other segments).
- Fixed issue where multiple test email messages were sometimes being sent to the same destination.
- Added the Privacy and Security Statement to the User Manual as Appendix A.
- The starting date for Priors segments is now a fixed date, rather than sliding date as it was before. This allows for more predictable operation. Older Priors segments are converted (from sliding to fixed) upon being opened for the first time using this software version.
- The maximum number of segments that can be created in a session is now limited to 100.
- Added the ability to configure the "From:" email address for Exodus-generated email messages. Note that existing configurations will maintain the previously-hardwired "noreply@laurelbridge.com" value, while new configurations will default to "exodusadmin@yourdomain.net" (only intended as an example).
- The maximum size for the Accession Number field has been increased from 16 to 32.
- Filenames for List segments and Column List segments can now be up to 100 characters.
- Segment names are now limited to 100 characters.
Changes in 4.2.1 (2021-02-23):
- Main exam and query tables now remember current scroll position and selected exams and queries during status change events.
- View History dialog provides support for copying UID and other values to clipboard, and navigation using home, end, and arrow keys. New View Containing Segments dialog provides step-thru access to containing segments for any number of selected exams and queries and support for copying values to clipboard.
- Improved support for Series Level migration queries.
- Main exam table has improved column sorting support.
Changes in 4.2.0 (2020-08-12):
- The Column List Segment Column Separator allows: Comma, Tab, Pipe, and Exclamation.

- Added a segment context menu option for generating a segment from a column list filter.
- Added support for a new MoveFailures exam column, which can be used for filtering/selection.
- Added a session context menu advanced option for reverting session settings back to the previously-saved values.
- Improved the performance of the selected exam context menu operation Save [To File] for very large exam record sets. Also added support for choosing which columns to save, whether or not to include a header row, and which column separator to use.

Changes in 4.0.17 (2018-12-19):
- File-based migrations now automatically generate an "All Exams" segment, so you don't have to guess how far back to query.
- The Rename DB operation now checks the existence of the DB files in the correct location prior to renaming (to avoid leaving the DB in an inoperable state).
- Fixed a bug with cloning validation options, which was causing validation options to revert to default when editing.
- Added new segment type, ColumnListSegment, capable of matching a selected column from a file as Study Instance UID, Accession Number, or Patient ID for study level sessions, and Series Instance UID for series level sessions.
Changes in 4.0.16 (2018-12-06):
- Now allowing per validation level DIMSE Command filters.

- The new DCF 3.4.18c release updated the PerformPreOutputHeaderFixups in DicomTSCodec to correctly set the Photometric Interpretation to the decoded photometric (normally RGB or YBR_FULL) when transcoding from an encapsulated to an unencapsulated transfer syntax. This change only affects datasets containing Pixel Data (7FE0,0010) where Samples Per Pixel (0028,0002) is greater than 1, and only for output transfer syntaxes of ILE (1.2.840.10008.1.2), ELE (1.2.840.10008.1.2.1) and EBE (1.2.840.10008.1.2.2).
