Release notes
RustDar v1.1.0 — Performance Edition
New Features
- Multi-radar group animation — Ctrl+Click radars to add to group, synced loop animation across all active radars with parallel S3 download
- Composite GIF export — Export multi-radar groups as composited GIF animations (1920x1080)
- Bilinear interpolation renderer — GR2Analyst-quality smooth rendering with gate and azimuth interpolation
- Dynamic resolution scaling — Render resolution adapts to zoom level (1024/2048/4096px)
- 3D cross-section view — Perspective-projected vertical cross-section with drag-to-rotate, ground plane grid
- Custom color tables — Load GR2Analyst (.pal) and RadarScope color table formats, 6 built-in presets
- Per-radar opacity — Individual opacity sliders for each radar in multi-radar groups
Improvements
- 4-panel view — Now uses smooth renderer, custom color tables, and dynamic resolution
- Cross-section click fix — Tool clicks (cross-section, measure, sounding) no longer conflict with map panning
- Animation performance — Eager texture pre-rendering, eliminated 25-50MB Level2File clones per frame
- Elevation locking — Animation frames locked to frame 0 elevation angle, prevents tilt flickering
- Faster downloads — 8 concurrent S3 downloads (up from 4)
