                          Meris BAER Changelog
==============================================================================

Changes for Version 1.0
 * split in 3 process (cloud, baer, atmospheric correction)
 * changing interface (Cloud Detection, Baer Process, Atmospheric Correction)
 * suppress cloud shadow
 * changing coefficient rhoclibx into 0.20 (cloud test)
 * renamed processing control labels (nf, 28/03/2006)
 * split of the UI into "I/O parameters" and "processing parameters" and changed help accordingly
   (nf, 28/03/2006)
 * added processing request file description and a sample to Java help  (nf, 28/03/2006)
 

Changes for Version 0.9

 * Update BAER Algorithm from WHH Aerosol13.for (cc, 03.10.2005)
 * BAER output : aot at 412, 440 and 550; angstroem coefficient, surface reflectance (cc, 03.10.2005?)
 * Besides band aero_opt_thick, BAER now also accepts input products with band aero_opt_thick_865 as of
   MERIS Level-2 Reprocessing 2 (nf, 03.11.2005)
 * Default values for output file name and aerosol phase LUT are now set in the UI (nf, 03.11.2005)
 * Set valid-pixel expression for BAER output bands to
   !BAER_FLAGS.INVALID_INPUT && !BAER_FLAGS.INVALID_OUTPUT (nf, 04.11.2005)
 * Set output to zero when  BAER_FLAGS.INVALID_OUTPUT is true (cc, 07.11.2005)
 * Help integrated (mp, 10.11.2005)
 * UI: Output format label is now visible (mp, 14.11.2005)
 * Bitmask is now editable by expression editor (mp, 14.11.2005)
 * Change BAER option in "Atmospheric correction algorithm" into UBAC (cc, 15.11.2005)

Changes for Version 0.7

 * BaerUi now extends AbstractProcessorUI as of BEAM-3.2 in order to
   support the help menu entries of the processor main frame.
 * Fixed: BAER's ProcessorConfigurationParser is now closing all opened URL
   streams which it has opened.
 * static BaerProcessor.getAuxdataDir now returns auxdata directory for BEAR.
   It makes use of the system property "baer.auxdata.dir" in order to
   set auxdata for the local stand-alone processor. For integrated version this
   property shall not be set, since BEAM's auxdata directory is used instead.
   Use Java system option, e.g. "-Dbaer.auxdata.dir=/usr/local/baer" to
   set auxdata directory for stand-alone, non-integrated version of the processor.
 * Added test case for BaerProcessor.getAuxdataDir in BaerProcessorTest
 * Changed constants and related tests which explicitely used UNIX file separator '/'.
   On Windows OS systems, these tests failed.
 * BAER processor UI now provides default output file name "MER_BAER.dim".
