Beta Build - v0.1.3

[WYVERN2742]

Warning

This is a beta build of WebCT - Bugs are to be expected

This is a large update with a bunch of usability changes and features to make using WebCT easier (#91)
Including new import and export functionality, a bunch of bug fixes, simplified settings, and detector binning!

✨ Features:

• Detector Binning (Detector Binning #93)
  • Can now bin detector up to 7x7 (1:49) pixels, reducing projection resolution but keeping the same physical size.
  • Correctly effects photon counts for noise terms (e.g, reduces noise), and LSF interpolation.
  • Highly recommended on large detectors.
  • Is automatically enabled when importing large (>1000px) detectors from machine configurations.
  • 
• Estimated Progress Bar when simulating projections.
• Position sample with a slider.
  • Easily move an object between source and detector!
  • Range updates after entering the distances manually for source and detector position.
  • Can easily See SOD, SDD, ODD.
  • 
• New "About" information in configuration page, to see library versions and server stats.
  • 
• Import support for XtekCT and Diondo XML formats.
  • No more manually entering beam and detector sizes, recreate experiments in 30 seconds!
• Export support for Python, and XtekCT: (Export as Python file #96)
  • Standalone python file to simulate using gVXR and reconstruct with CIL.
    • Fully configurable, and simple. Create code with WebCT!
    • Does not support iterative reconstruction at the moment.
    • May be some bugs, please report them!
  • XtekCT export is not validated, use with caution.
    • Please tell me if this is useful, Diondo's format is more complex, so it's not implemented at the moment.
  • 

⚙ Changed parameters:

• New toggles to disable Noise and Detector LSF.
  • 
• Scintillator settings moved to advanced settings.
  • 
• Tube Anode moved to advanced settings.
• Moved X and Z axis of beam and detector positions to advanced settings.

📦 Default Models and Materials:

• Now includes a basic wire stl, as used in the WebCT Paper.
• Added PVC

🐛 Bug Fixes:

• Fixed unclickable scrollbar for pane settings.
• Fixed ipp dll issues on all systems.
• Renamed Transmission Hotspot to Photon Starvation.
• Sample selection / upload options are now autoselected.
• Video previews now work on iPadOS's safari. (Previews do not autoplay on Safari #94)
• mAs now correctly works for medical sources.
• Fixed edgecase with download status feedback.
• Reduced RAM usage when creating projection and reconstruction videos.
• Fixed issue with incorrectly selecting the wrong sample when adding a new sample and deleting an old one within the same update.
• Fix for materialID being changed in an update, and the new ID not being used. (Renaming new material before saving doesn't always work #92)
• Added validation for sample label entry, now more obvious it's required.
• Disabled artefact filtering as a workaround for an upstream gVXR bug.
• Reduced image count for high voltage by increasing Spekpy bin size.
  • This lowers spectrum precision, but allows for high voltages on cards with reduced texture sizes.
• Workaround for model scaling bug;- images are now created sequentially, rather than leveraging gvxr's CT functions.
• Better page recovery from errors, loading state is now cleared if an error occurs.
• gVXR Export:
  • Fix issues with not using correct detector position, and up vector.
  • Added "MoveToCenter" command to samples.
  • Now includes the "Scan" key, for use with simulating CT scans.
• Fixed Dialog buttons hanging outside of footer.
• Limited download preview height for projections and reconstructions for when they're very large.

As always, please feel free to report bugs to the issue tracker, or if there's any features that WebCT needs!
