(03.06.2013) BEAM 4.11 released
The BEAM team is happy to announce that we have released BEAM 4.11 on June 03rd, 2013.
BEAM 4.11 is shipped with a number of new features, of which the most prominent are:
- the Time Series Tool has been included into BEAM, allowing users to create, visualise, inspect, and analyse time series of EO data
- the new Temporal Percentile Operator has been introduced; it allows users to perform multiple kinds of gap-filled, spatiotemporal percentile computations
- a dedicated OPeNDAP client which provides an easy interface to arbitrary OPeNDAP servers has been added
- NetCDF4 data export, allowing users to write compressed data in HDF5-based NetCDF4 format
Additionally, we have dropped and replaced some outdated parts of BEAM in order to keep it lean. It goes without saying that the new release also encloses a number of bug fixes, which can be inspected at our BEAM issue tracker
