New Version (v7.0) of the ISO Data Archive installed on 08/06/2004

On the 8th of June of 2004, a new version (v7.0) of the ISO Data Archive (IDA) software was installed.

Allow searching on the new quality flags and caveats
Improved Survey Products FITS viewer, with flux units conversion
Improved interoperability with Vizier by adding a link from the IDA to the ISO related published catalogues in VizieR

Correct some wavelength bands associated with absolute photometry mode
Fix the Search by Object Type in combination with an HPDP for Solar System Objects
Improved sorting of the HPDP search panel
Correct chopper configuration information in Observation Detail Display
Better IDA support for DIGITAL UNIX
Better IDA support for Netscape 7 on all platforms
Better handling of big data requests
Better support for users being behind a firewall
Improve the determination of the Field-Of-View for some ISOCAM observations and Solar System Objects observations
Fix problems with fetching POFs and ICS files from the Observation Detail Display
Proper error message given when a request is made which does not contain any files

Further minor fixes have been implemented.
