QPS Qimera 2.10.0: Multibeam Bathymetry Processing Software
QPS Qimera 2.10.0 is a maintenance release from QPS, published August 27, 2026. It focuses on stability and efficiency rather than introducing major new modules.
Release Positioning
This release is part of the QPS 2.10.0 series, addressing accumulated bug fixes from prior versions (2.8.x, 2.9.x) and making small functional improvements. No major architectural changes were introduced.
Key New Feature
-
SBET Navigation Import: Added the ability to import SBET navigation data via Qimera-command, extending the command-line automation workflow for broader data compatibility.
Resolved Bugs
| Bug | Affected Version | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic Grid Creation: Grid could not be generated from file in some scenarios, requiring renavigation | 2.8.3 | Fixed |
| Slice Editor Edits Lost: Editor did not remember edits when advancing selection in fixed or free slice | 2.8.2 | Fixed |
| Line Object Conversion: Failure when converting Line Object or selection to Pipe Object | 2.9.1 | Fixed |
Improvements
-
Cable/Pipe Tracker Editor: When the database contains multiple cable or pipe tracking systems with some inactive, Qimera now selects the valid system and searches its metadata rather than using the first system found.
Important Notes
-
Release Cadence: QPS and Qimera have shifted to a faster release rhythm, delivering smaller, more frequent feature releases alongside scheduled bug-fix releases for continuous, stable updates.
-
Installation & Licensing: The Qimera installer defaults to a version-named subdirectory (e.g.,
C:\Program Files\QPS\Qimera), enabling multiple versions to coexist. Existing maintenance - licenses can run Qimera 2.9 and 2.10.0.
