ChangeLog for TMAJ

Version 3.0.0 (released 2008-07-24)

Major Changes:

  • Addition of Image Analysis Capabilities to TMAJ (integrated the Frida Software program with TMAJ)
    • The Frida image analysis program has been integrated into TMAJ.
    • Frida can be accessed by going into the Images application and creating a new Frida Session
    • The results of the image analysis can be immediately viewed in TMAJ; this data can be viewed side-by-side with the user-assigned scoring data in TMAJ.  Thus we have automated image analysis combined with scores assigned directly by pathologists.
    • The Data Table in the Images application has an improved GUI for viewing data from multiple areas: specimens, blocks, tissue-diagnosis, array-cores, array-images, scored-images, machine scored data, and image analysis data.
  • Importing Images is significantly easier. 
    • There is no longer any need to compress images with ThumbsPlus.  This is done automatically with TMAJ.
    • All Images are automatically uploaded to the proper place on the server without having to manually place them there.
    • There is no longer any need to manually name directories to a proper array-block/ array-slide/ scan
    • Images are kept track of in the database to prevent accidental deletions or modifications
    • Images are automatically downloaded to the client for improved speed.  Before this had to be manually done.


Version 2.32.0 (released 2007-06-29)

  • Importing data from Frida (an Image Analysis Program) is much faster.


Version 2.30.0 (released 2007-04-13)

  • Added support for group admins.  Group Admins is a level of security between regular users and administrators.  They have control over a subset of specimens, arrayblocks, and projects.  They may grant access to other users.  Group admins are assigned a subset of users; they can then assign permissions to these users.
  • Added an AccessPatientData permission for all Users.  To be able to see patient information, the Display_Patients_Tab in the client.properties file must also be set to true.

Version 2.29.0 (released 2007-04-03)

Images App

  • Support for Image Analysis.  Integration with separate image analysis program (Frida) completed.
  • Merged Machine Scores and Regular Data Table

Version 2.27.0 (released 2007-03-12)

General / Database

  • Color-Scheme in ArrayBuilder is no longer hard-coded.  It may be set by modifying a row in the KeyValues table called ARRAY_COLORS
  • No enumerations are hard-coded anymore.   All simple enumerations (like block-status and block-fixation) now are retrieved from the Enumerations table in the database.  Previously some of these had their own table (like SpecimenFixation.)  Others were hard-coded in the source-code.  Now they can all be changed by simply modifying the Enumerations table in the database.


Version 2.26.0 (released 2006-11-01)

Specimens App

  • Added support for cell lines and xenografts
    To access Cell Lines:
    1. Log onto TMAJ as a user permission to access the specimens application
    2. Click the Specimens App button to launch the specimens application
    3. Go to the Specimens Tab
    4. Click the Extras... Button
    5. Click the Cell Lines button

      You will now be able to enter information about cell lines, cell line experiments and xenograft experiments.  You will also be able to assign a TissueDiagnosis to a cell line experiment. 


Version 2.25.0 (released 2006-09-13)

Database

  • Added support for Microsoft SQL Server database


Version 2.20.0 (released 2006-07-26)

Import Application

  • Support for multiple thresholds on MachineScoredData added
  • To import new Machine Scores:
    1. Make sure the file is named properly, according to the directions in the Import documentation webpage.  For example:
    TMA_0365_CUT_002_SCAN_01_theStain_00843123_ACIS_threshold52.xls
    Note: The 10th position should give a description about the MachineScoringSession. In this case it is threshold52.
    2. Open the excel file in Excel, then choose "Save As"
    3. Remove the quotes that appear at the beginning and end of the fileName.
    4. Refresh the "Save As Type". First choose any other type like "XML Data",then choose "Text Tab Delimited".  The filename in the "Save As"
    dialog should have a.txt extention.  Click the save button to save a new .txt file.
    5. The file is now ready to be imported.  Open the import application and go to the "Machine Scores" Tab.
    6. Choose as many files as you like to be imported and then the click Start button.  Make sure you are choosing the .txt files you created in the above step and not the original .xls files. No dialogs are used, and thus all messages to the user appear in the message box at the bottom.  This allows many files to be quickly imported without the user having to click "okay" for an confirmation message.
