You can make suggestions for new features to improve SciGlass Next!

0.4.2 August 07, 2024

  • UI improvements.
  • Support for displaying calculation results of glasses by clicking on the GNo (Glass No) in the Detail Card (Table view) and Result Card (Table view).
  • Support for request caching on the website for faster response and speed.
  • Rename the individual properties of T1~T13 to T1 (logη=1)~T13 (logη=13) for clarity.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Fixed a regression bug where the component in Property Predictor won't be updated (internally) after clicking on the cancel button.

0.4.1 August 04, 2024

  • Support for displaying all components of glasses even without selecting components in Search for Glasses.
  • Data correction:
    • Add missing data for Table ID=44801 when using Search for Glasses, four glasses added.
    • Correct 2360 entries of wrong glass number ranges internally in the original database, which could return incorrect results when searching with Search for Tables.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Fixed a regression bug where the search for some components (in Collection) in Search for Glasses gave an error or an empty result.
    • Fixed a regression bug where the page title wouldn't update when opening a table using Table by Number.
    • Fixed the issue of possible duplicate requests that may occur during page navigation or browsing.

0.4.0 July 26, 2024

  • New important feature: API Key and API documentation added.

  • New feature: Property Diagram.

  • Support for searching with atom names:

  • Support for opening tables that are displayed in Result card in a new tab or a new window.

  • Update Property Predictor:

    • Property of logη at X°C (log viscosity at X°C) has incorrect value since v0.3.0, it is now corrected. Thanks to user feedback!
    • Add a fullscreen button next to the close button.

  • Update export function:

    • Support for exporting table (result) in CSV format (additional option), default is Excel.
    • Update the position of the table header tooltip to the row above the table header in both Excel and CSV.

  • Set default filename when downloading plots as png from:

    where {table_id} is the Table ID.

  • Adopt a uniform rule to display header names with units in the table.

    • Update the superscript style of the units (e.g., change ^-1 to -1).
    • Use a comma followed by a space (e.g., change T,°C to T, °C).
  • Add a function to copy the Table ID by clicking on it in the Detail Card (Table view) section.
  • Add a Notes column in Patent Index.
  • Data correction:
    • Correct dozens of entries with missing atoms in the original database.
    • Add missing Atomic% data for atoms of Tc, Re, Np, and Pu in the original database and update the composition of the affected 35 glasses.
    • Update 179 reference titles.
    • Update description text of 22 tables that contain redundant information.
    • Update names in Country column in Patent Index to make it shorter:
      • United States of America to US
      • United Kingdom to UK
      • German Democratic Republic to DDR
      • Korea, South to South Korea
      • OAPI - African Intellectual Pr (should be African Intellectual Property Organization) to OAPI
    • Update name in Properties column in Patent Index, as the comma between the various properties is missing for hundreds of entries.
    • Remove extra , (comma) at the end of Properties column in Result Card, 679 entries updated.
    • Correct the density value of GNo (glass number) = 606816 in Table ID = 11280, which should be 1.90 instead of 1.80 for the heat treatment condition 750°C, ≈2 kbars.
    • Correct the density value of GNo (glass number) = 421754 in Table ID = 34609, which should be 2.422 instead of 4.422.
    • Correct the density and refractive index value of GNo (glass number) = 493171 in Table ID = 42511, and GNo=610518~610521 in Table ID=44747, where the density and refractive column should be exchanged.
  • Bug fixes (list only important fixes):
    • Fixed a bug in plot hover info and legend display when grouping with the glass number for some data types.
    • Fixed a bug where the modal is not closed when the browser navigates back and forth.
    • Enter 0 in the Min fields of the Component card of Search for Glasses to indicate that the component can be absent did not work, now this issue is fixed.
  • UI improvements, and page loading time optimization.
  • Optimize the search performance slightly by indexing.

0.3.1 June 11, 2024

  • Support for opening a specific table via the URL: https://sciglass.uni-jena.de/database?tableid=id, where id(integer) is the Table ID displayed in Result Card.

    For example, https://sciglass.uni-jena.de/database?tableid=44923 will open table with Table ID=44923.

    Note

    Deprecated since v0.4.0, use table_id instead of tableid due to the new naming convention.

  • Support back and forward navigation with the browser's navigation buttons across different opened tables.

0.3.0 June 10, 2024
