Image Owl uses the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) development model to ensure that we release new changes to our customers quickly in a sustainable way. We deploy small batches of code changes to production regularly, usually weekly so that the code is fresh in developer's mind and there is a limited amount of dependencies to test. This allows us to be responsive to customer needs for bug fixes and new features while maintaining a robust and well tested code base.
Note: Equipment Hub versions are documented in the Revision History article. That revision history only contains changes to the Equipment Hub service itself. There may be related changes that are listed below that may also be of interest.

New Features
| Reference Number | Details |
|---|---|
| 2787 | Reduced the required number of images for Winston Lutz Analysis Test to two images. |
| 2884 | Improved Winston Lutz Analysis Tests to facilitate couch only rotations.
Often, nominally zero angles have very small residual angles in the Dicom tags. If the user is attempting to do a couch rotation-only WL test, where dZ will be zero these very small angles will cause erroneous large dZ values because of the limits of floating point arithmetic in the linear algebra equations that solve the Winston Lutz calculation. Rounding the gantry angles to one decimal point largely removes this issue. The rounding makes it practical for users to use the existing Winston Lutz test for couch only rotations |

| Gantry Angle Deviations Near Zero Not Calculated Correctly | Angle deviation for gantry and collimators were not being calculated correctly (e.g. 0 nominal, 359 measured is -1-degree deviation not 359 degrees.) This was fixed. |
| Rounding discrepancies between graphs and reports. | Fixed differences in rounding between reports and longitudinal graphs. |
| Tests with quotation marks in names unable to be reordered | Fixed an issue where tests with quotations in the names could not be reordered when creating or modifying templates. |
| Time Zone Control for radioactive sources missing any UTC+10 cities | Improved coverage for Australia and Asia when recording radioactive source exchanges. |
| Able to inactivate template even though it's connected to schedules | Fixed being able to inactivate templates connected to active schedules. |
| Document sign-offs not working when account has no users | An error message now appears if document sign-offs attempted with no users in account |
| Longitudinal graphs showing data from multiple schedules | Fixed a situation where longitudinal graphs could display data from longitudinal graphs. |
| Unnecessary email check when updating account information | Eliminated an unnecessary email check when updating non-email information that was making it difficult to update account information. |
| Custom group names had to be universally unique | Fixed a restriction on custom group names that they have to be universally unique. They now only be unique within an account. |
Release 1.35 August 31, 2016
| Tolerances on all CBCT measurements | All CBCT measurements may now have tolerances set on them. |
| Navigation from Longitudinal Plots for Reports | The ability to click on points in longitudinal graphs and open the corresponding report was added. See Reports for more information. |
| Data points can be hidden. | The ability to hide and data points from reports, graphs and analyses with an explanatory note was added. See Reports for more information. |
| Empty Values recorded as failures on Perform QA | Fixed a situation where empty items would cause the color indicators on the Perform QA to show red. |
| Error when going to analysis on account with no templates | If an account has no templates then if the user attempts to go to the comparison analysis which requires templates the user will be taken to the Manage Template page |
| In data comparison energies were sometimes not shown. | Fixed an issue in some energy dependent measurements the energy column was not appearing. |
| Counts incorrect in data comparison. |
Fixed an issue where the data comparison tables were not showing the correct count. |
Release 1.36 September 22, 2016
| Notifications for overdue QA schedules | Notifications for overdue schedules may now be set. |
| Improvements to the Equipment Hub | Improvements for Sun Nuclear Daily QA 3 device and PIPSpro software where the database is located remotely were implemented. Users are encouraged to download the latest version of the Equipment Hub |
| Uploading of images implemented in API | Images may now be uploaded for processing via the API. |
| Incorrect incomplete test counts | Fixed situations that were sometimes causing incorrect counts of incomplete tests on reports |
| Error on invalid report ID |
Release 1.37-1.38 October 17, 2016
| Warning on incomplete tests when finalizing reports | When finalizing reports if any tests in the schedule have not been completed they will be noted in the finalize dialog giving the user an opportunity to go back and complete the tests. |
| Added preset Tg142 and HDR templates | Added a number of preset templates for Tg142 and HDR tests to serve as a basis for quickly developing templates. |
| Creation of custom tests implemented in API | Custom tests may now be created through the API. |
| Improved plotting of output variables | Output variables that do not have baselines set can now be plotted. |
| Schedules can be copied | Schedules may now be copied along with their baselines and tolerances and QA settings. |
| Incorrect incomplete test counts | Fixed situations that were sometimes causing incorrect counts of incomplete tests on reports |
| Fix rendering issue on Firefox | Fixed the rendering of the account name on Firefox |
| Fix issue on date filter on reports page | Fixed the behavior of the reports page when filtering on a single date. |
