GêBR Project

This release fixes bugs in 0.10.0 (see the complete list here).

The new version of GêBR is ready. Surely this is the most notable launch of GêBR, not just by the new features but also by the improvements in the development process.

The interface

Users of GêBR and DéBR will realize that the report and helps editor became more friendly. It is now possible, for example, to edit more than one text at once, or consult the interface while editing the report of a flow.

More shortcut keys have been added to streamline the operation of the interface. For example, to change the state of a program in a flow just press the space bar.

Process improvements

Thanks to the support of Petrobras, the development process is getting better. Now the Project GêBR has professionals dedicated to ensuring product quality delivered to users. As a result, dozens of bug were fixed and no doubt the version 0.10.0 is the most reliable we have ever launched.

Integration of programs to the interface

Accompanying the new version of GêBR, we are also launching new versions of the menus for GêBR. In particular, the version 0.3.0 of the menus for the Seismic Unix brings the complete port of this seismic processing package.

Supported systems

Starting with this release, besides Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora, the GêBR Project shall also provide support to CentOS, showing our commitment to the users of high performance computing environments.

The nearly 30 participants of the GêBR course, taught during the IV Brazilian Symposium of Geophysics, had first-hand opportunity to use the newest version of GêBR.

Version 0.10.0 deserves recognition for a significant increase in quality and reliability of software. Thanks to the support of Petrobras, the GêBR Project is able to maintain a professional development team, which has taken great care to deliver to the user of GêBR the best possible product.

In terms of news, we can highlight the full integration of the seismic processing package Seismic Unix, with approximately 300 programs, and an editor of reports more comprehensive and friendly, with the possibility of simultaneous editing of multiple reports.

For now, the version 0.10.0 of GêBR is available only through the GêBR Live DVD 10.11. In the coming days, we will release binary packages for four Linux distributions. Beyond the Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora, from this version we now also support CentOS, which shows our commitment to users of high-performance machines, usually controlled by this distribution.
