New version 0.6.3.v20100410 released

Today I released a new version of Eulumdat Tools. It is available as Eclipse plugin or standalone RCP application for Windows XP, Windows Vista/7.0, Mac OSX 10.5 and Mac OSX 10.6 64 bit.

Improved IES file header parsing

IES files can contain many custom parameters, but these were not parsed but seen as errors.
Examples of problem lines:
IESNA:LM-63-1995
[TEST]
[DATE] 02-01
[MANUFAC] GE LIGHTING
[LAMPCAT] 30754
[LAMP] Q20MR11/SP15-FTC
[_CATEGORY] HALOGEN
[_SUBCATEGORY] MR11
[_BULB] MR11
[_RATED-CBCP] 1760
[_CANDELA-MULTIPLIER] 1
[_RATED-LUMENS]
[_RATED-LIFE] 3500
[_BEAM-ANGLE] 15
[_DETAILS]
TILT=NONE
...
LInes starting with [_ will be ignored from now on, resulting in less editing being required in existing IES files.

Fixed div by zero error in rotation symmetric IES file parsing

Rotation symmetric IES files did not convert to EULUMDAT properly but resulted in an uncaught exception.
A proper error dialog was added and the cause of the div by zero fixed.
Also the offending files were added to the regression test suite.

Thank you Linuz Backelin for helping me track down and solve these two problems!

  1. Thank you for making a clever tool for easy use. The IES-file conversion idea is great and very useful.
    I bought the program and even though it's still in Beta stage, it's a great tool.
    Keep up the good work.
