Released new Phenote version (download). It has the following new features:

• Changed version back to 1.6 beta to be inline with NCBO versioning
• Term info panel now shows information for terms selected in Complete Ontology Tree View
• Window close button now works on specimen picker window
• User can turn off table sorting by clicking again on a reverse-sorted table column
• Rows can be dragged from Taxon list into any other table
• Dropped rows are selected in target table
• Fixed bug where dragged rows were not being copied as new rows (editing would screw up original)
• Editor fields no longer grow wider than the panel they’re in
• Selected rows attempt to stay visible when table is re-sorted
• Added updated collection code ontology

This is also the first release uploaded to and downloadable from the OBO SourceForge site as a file release, and can therefore be linked to indefinitely. Previously we were putting up the updated downloads on the Phenoscape wiki, which had the nasty effect that upon every update all earlier links no longer pointed to the correct version (but simply always to the latest).  

Released new Phenote version (Phenote-MacOSX.zip, Phenote-Windows.zip). It has the following new features:

• New feature – “Scratch lists” (see below)
• Browse all the ontologies using a tree view, select terms, and drag them onto fields to use them as values
• New, clean, interface look

You can open Scratch lists from the View menu. First you will see a blank table.  You can add rows to the table and give them whatever name you want.  Select a row and press the table-looking button in the component’s toolbar.  A character table will open somewhere with that name.  You can make new annotation rows in this table and then drag them into the main annotation table.  You might want to make a couple different scratch lists that have particular values pre-filled in that you want to use again and again.  This makes life a lot easier for Wasila, our data curator,  when particular species always use the same voucher evidence. The caveat is that right now the scratch tables aren’t saved. That will require data adapter work.

Released new Phenote version (Phenote-MacOSX.zip, Phenote-Windows.zip). It has the following new features:

• press Cmd-Return to enter current value and advance to next character while editing the same field
• in-progress Save (Cmd-S)
• simultaneous save of main document and taxon list files
• lock layout of interface panels (look in the Settings menu – Nicole Washington added this, it’s really handy)
