FORident Software is pleased to announce the release of HemoSpat v1.12 for macOS 10.13, macOS 10.14, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10.

This update is available to all registered users.

The main changes in this version are updates to the underlying libraries for better compatibility with the latest operating systems. A couple of other changes and fixes are the result of direct feedback from users, so thank you!

One user-facing change that may be of interest is being able to add a reason when the analyst excludes a bloodstain from analysis. This information is then shown in the HemoSpat Basic Report.

Exclude Bloodstain

For macOS users, support for macOS 10.13 and macOS 10.14 was added.

For Windows users, please note that Windows 7 is no longer supported. Microsoft discontinued support for Windows 7 on 14 January 2020.

This marks 14 years to the day since HemoSpat 1.0 was released!

FORident Software is pleased to announce the release of HemoSpat v1.10 for Mac OS X 10.10-10.11, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10.

This update is available to all registered users.

With a focus on working more closely with 3rd party software, the new version of HemoSpat introduces a new file format called the HemoSpat Coordinate Exchange Format (.hscx). This allows other software to send position, scale, and orientation information to HemoSpat for use when exporting 3D models so we can line up the HemoSpat data with the point cloud or model in the other software.

FORident Software worked with the developers of Leica Geosystems IMS Map360 to improve the workflow between our software using this new exchange format. An upcoming version of IMS Map360 will have tools in it to generate this file for use with HemoSpat’s exporters.

For Windows users, Windows 10 support was added and the installers were rewritten to better handle two cases: users without administrator privileges and machine-wide installations for universities and training organizations.

In our ongoing effort to improve usability, version 1.10 introduces a couple of new zoom options – Zoom To Fit Ellipse & Zoom To Fit Analysis to make it easier to navigate your images when performing an analysis. The ellipse selection tool was also modified slightly to make it easier to use in low-contrast situations.

The update checker will work once again now that both the website and the software communicate using SSL/TLS.

As always we look forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions!
