New in Version 5.0.5

• Update to ENVISAT reader for ASAR 4/C specification
• Fix for GeoTIFF projection issue
• Autoupdate installation
• Support for left facing missions
• Rigourous TerraSAR-X calibration
• Terrain correction of TerraSAR-X detected products

• Copy, move, delete from product library
• Graphical subset selection
• Mapping tools layers

Note: To properly handle left and right facing missions generically, missions such as RADARSAT-2 are no longer "North-up" oriented. Images in the SAR geometry will always have the first line at the start time and the first row at the near range. To view the image in a map oriented projection, run the terrain correction operator on the data.
