REACT Release - v410

April 18, 2023

In the last year we have continued developing the integration between ACT-REACT and ACT-Quickmap by creating a tool that goes towards the perfect combination between the power of data manipulation given by ACT-REACT and the richness of imagery and scientific data collection available in ACT-Quickmap. In this new version, ACT-REACT comes with updated Multi-Layers Tree Panels with a lot of new layers coming directly from ACT-Quickmap imagery collection. It also has a native support to Quickmap layers through a dedicated panel.

As for the previous releases, this new version of ACT-REACT includes significant improvements to our proprietary MSHELL scripting language in terms of new syntaxes available, enhanced third-party libraries bindings and bugfixes.
