SevenCs GmbH announced the new version 5.12 of the EC2007 ECDIS Kernel.

Besides general software maintenance, such as the support of new data products or product versions, minor functionality changes, and bug fixes the two major changes in the new 5.12 Kernel version are:

• API extensions to support the distribution of official ENCs in SevenCs SENC format (directENC) by ChartWorld GmbH, our chart agent subsidiary, and
• the integration of an efficient memory management.

The first change allows our OEMs to load official ENCs not only in normal S-63 format but, in case the data is supplied by ChartWorld, also in the SevenCs SENC format (directENC). The main advantages of this are simplified chart handling and a much faster chart loading process.
The second change is the first step in an ongoing program to update the SevenCs EC2007 Kernel to improve performance and to take advantage of the latest generation of multi-core processors.

Following new versions or new data products are now supported by the Kernel:

• S-57 Ed. 3.1.2 for ENC, IENC 2.2, AML 3.0.1 and AIO 2.0 (Additional Information Overlay, UKHO)

In addition SevenCs is currently working on the implementation of the MIL-2525 standard for common warfighting symbology.
