+-02-18  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (TestBaseRenderer.setUp): Fix
+         doc-string
+-02-18  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py: Remove wx_cs_params from gdal compile options.
+-02-18  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         Refactored baserenderer.py and renderer.py to remove baserenderer.py's
+         dependencies on wxPython. Added a new method projected_raster_layer()
+         that returns a raster layer image in projected space. This must be
+         implemented in classes derived from BaseRenderer. This also eliminates
+         the dependency on gdal in baserenderer.py.
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_layer): Call
+         new projected_raster_layer() to get projected raster image instead
+         of directly calling ProjectRasterFile().
+         (BaseRenderer.projected_raster_layer): New. This must be implemented
+         by derived classes. It takes almost the same arguments as ProjectRasterFile
+         did and returns a projected image with mask and alpha data (if requested).
+         (BaseRenderer.render_map_incrementally): Remove the check for gdal since
+         that check will be done in MapRenderer.projected_raster_layer(). This
+         also allows other implementations to use different projection code.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.projected_raster_layer):
+         Implementation of BaseRenderer.projected_raster_layer. Checks for
+         gdal support and wxPython version. Also handles exceptions from
+         ProjectRasterFile.
+         * libraries/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp: Removed checks for wxPython versions
+         and added a variable which can be set through the options argument
+         of ProjectRasterFile.
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (SimpleRenderer.projected_raster_layer): New.
+         Calls ProjectRasterFile and returns the result.
+         (TestBaseRenderer.test_projected_raster_layer): New. Tests the results
+         of calling projected_raster_layer() with different options.
+         (TestBaseRenderer.test_raster_no_projection): Removed tests based on
+         wxPython version and all tests of masks and alpha channels. These are
+         now in test_projected_raster_layer().
+-02-17  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/map.py, Thuban/Model/label.py: Fixed
+         doc-strings to comply with coding_guidelines.
+-02-17  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Docstring improvements and minor fixes for labellayer.
+         * Thuban/Model/map.py:
+         (Map, Map.Destroy, Map.RemoveLayer, Map.ClearLayers,
+         Map.Layers, Map.HasLayers, Map.MoveLayerToTop,
+         Map.RaiseLayer, Map.LowerLayer, Map.MoveLayerToBottom,
+         Map.ProjectedBoundingBox, Map.GetProjection): Improved/added
+         doc string.
+         (Map.BoundingBox): Removed superfluous test for label_layer
+         and improved doc string.
+         (Map.TreeInfo): Added label_layer and improved sdo string.
+         * Thuban/Model/label.py: Added import of _.
+         (Label, Label.__init__): Improved/added doc string.
+         (LabelLayer, LabelLayer.__init__, LabelLayer.Labels,
+         LabelLayer.RemoveLabel, LabelLayer.ClearLabels):
+         Improved/added doc string.
+         (LabelLayer.AddLabel): Use already defined names for
+         align strings and improved doc string.
+         (LabelLayer.TreeInfo): New. Return the object data for
+         the tree view.
+-02-16  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         Further wxPython 2.5 changes using patches from Daniel Calvelo Aros
+         so that that wxproj doesn't crash. Added GUI support for selecting
+         alpha channel (opacity can't be selected yet).
+         NOTE: If wxPython.h is including in future distribution packages
+         then it will not be necessary to have the files swigPtrConvertHack.h
+         and wxPython_int.h included with Thuban. This is hopefully
+         a temporary workaround.
+         * setup.py (thuban_build_ext.finalize_options): gdalwarp needs
+         access to the macro wxCHECK_VERSION so that it will properly
+         generate a bit mask. There was a problem between wx2.4 and wx2.5
+         that this works around.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (RasterLayer.UseMask): Removed in favor
+         of RasterLayer.MaskType.
+         (RasterLayer.SetUseMask): Removed in favor of RasterLayer.SetMaskType
+         (RasterLayer.MaskType): New. Returns the type of mask to use. Can
+         specify none, a bitmap, or an alpha channel.
+         (RasterLayer.SetMaskType): New. Set what kind of mask to use.
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_layer):
+         Set the raster warping options for the mask based on the value
+         of RasterLayer.MaskType.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (LegendTree.__FillTreeLayer): Remove
+         deprecated calls to SetItemSelectedImage in favor of SetItemImage
+         with wxTreeItemIcon_Selected.
+         * Thuban/UI/rasterlayerproperties.py: Support selecting to use
+         an alpha channel for the mask.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_raster_data): Use alpha
+         data if it is available and an alpha channel is supported under
+         the current version of wxPython.
+         * libraries/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp (GetImageData): Added compiler define
+         to select whether 1's or 0's select the desired portion of an image
+         in the bit mask. wx2.4 has a bug where the documentation is the opposite
+         from behavior.
+         (ProjectRasterFile): Only generate an alpha channel if the version
+         of wxPython is >= 2.5.3.
+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp: Applied patches from Daniel Calvelo Aros.
+         When wxPython >= 2.5.3 use the special swig functions to decode an
+         object's address.
+         * libraries/thuban/swigPtrConvertHack.h: Includes conditional code
+         based on the version of wxPython. If >= 2.5.3 use the special swig
+         functions from wxPython to decode wxPython objects, otherwise use
+         the old method of retrieving the address from the object __repr__ string.
+         * libraries/thuban/wxPython_int.h: Copied from wxPython source.
+         Unnecessary code was removed to make it smaller.
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (TestBaseRenderer.test_raster_no_projection):
+         Add tests for returning an alpha channel.
+         * test/test_layer.py (TestLayerModification.test_raster_layer): Fix
+         tests that used removed functions UseMask and SetUseMask
+-02-08  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         More wxPython 2.5 changes.  This time taken from a patch from
+         Daniel Calvelo Aros.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (QueryTableFrame.__init__)
+         (QueryTableFrame.__init__): Pass the size of a spacer as a single
+         item.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.build_dialog)
+         (ProjFrame.build_dialog): Pass the size of a spacer as a single

+         size of a spacer as a single item.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.dialog_layout): Pass the
+         size of a spacer as a single item.
+-02-08  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Compatibility with wxPython 2.5.  The changes should make it work
+         better with 2.5 while still keeping compatibility with 2.4.  There
+         are still problems with 2.5, though.
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py (DockableWindow.__CreateBorder): Pass the size
+         of a spacer as a single item.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (ClassGroupPropertiesCtrl): Derive only
+         from wxControl
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (LegendTree): When running with wxPython <
+.5, add an implementation of the GetFirstChild method that does
+         not require the second parameter.
+         (LegendTree.find_layer, LegendTree._OnMsgMapLayersAdded)
+         (LegendTree._OnMsgMapLayersRemoved, LegendTree.DeleteAllItems)
+         (LegendTree.DeleteChildren, LegendTree.__ShowHideLayer): Do not
+         pass the second parameter to GetFirstChild
+-02-08  Nina H�ffmeyer <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrshapes.py: Removed some print commands.
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrstart.py: Changed the GUI. OGR is no longer an
+         additional menu but appears as a possibility in the menu Map.
+-02-07  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp: Removed the macros PYTHON_ERR
+         and PYTHON_ERRF since they were no longer necessary.
+-02-07  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (ClassGrid.DeleteSelectedRows):
+         Enable translation for message string.
+-02-06  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/infodialog.py (wmsInfoDialog.__init__): Adjusted
+         the arguments of the contstructor to fit the global scheme
+-01-31  Nina H�ffmeyer <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrdialog.py: Added class ogrdialog.py, which provides
+         some dialogs needed to start ogr.
+         * Extensions/ogr/__init__.py: Changed comments to avoid encoding
+         warnings.
+         * Extensions/ogr/test/test_OGRShapestore.py: Changed comments to avoid
+         encoding warnings.
+-01-28  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp (GetImageData): Recode how the
+         mask is packed into a bit array. It's now slightly faster.
+-01-28  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (RasterLayer.__init__): Make use_mask
+         default to true.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_rasterlayer): Remove
+         code that loads the state of the layer's use_mask flag. Its
+         usefulness is still being debated.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_layer): Remove
+         code that saves the state of the layer's use_mask flag. Its
+         usefulness is still being debated.
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_layer): Pass
+         options to ProjectRasterFile based on the state of layer.UseMask().
+         Catch more exceptions from ProjectRasterFile so that Thuban doesn't
+         quit is there is a problem projecting.
+         (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_data): Change the documentation to
+         describe the new format (XBM) that the mask data will be in.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_raster_data): The mask
+         data is in XBM format when format='RAW' which means it doesn't
+         need to be converted to a wxImage before being used as a mask
+         for a wxBitmap. Assume that if format != 'RAW' that the image
+         data and mask data are in the same format.
+         * libraries/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp (GetImageData): If alpha is enabled
+         and a mask is requested, convert the alpha band to a bit array in
+         XBM format. if an alpha channel is requested, simply return the
+         data in the alpha band. Provide better error handling by returning
+         python error messages (also fixes RT #2947).
+         (ProjectRasterFile): Support multiple mask options, rather than simply
+         a flag indicating that a mask should or should not be used. Provide
+         better error handling by returning python error messages.
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (TestBaseRenderer.test_raster_no_projection):
+         Add mask data to test.
+         * test/test_layer.py (TestLayer.test_raster_layer): Test that a layer
+         should use the mask by default.
+         (TestLayerModificaton.test_raster_layer): Test that a layer should use
+         the mask by default.
+         * test/test_load.py (TestRasterLayer.test): Remove testing for
+         use_mask flag in file.
+         * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest.testRasterLayer): Remove testing
+         for use_mask in file.
+         * test/test_load_1_0_1.py: Removed. Shouldn't have been checked in.
+-01-26  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         Add a new dialog box for raster layers. The dialog box allows
+         the user to toggle a mask that is generated by ProjectRasterFile
+         and is used to only draw the real parts of the projected image.
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_layer):
+         Instruct the warping code to generate a mask if the raster layer
+         requests one.
+         (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_data): Removed obsolete optional mask argument.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_raster_data): Removed
+         obsolete optional mask argument.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier): Change the parent class
+         to LayerProperties and rework the code to support layout calls
+         from the parent.
+         (Classifier.dialog_layout): New. Layout the dialog box.
+         (Classifier.map_layers_removed): Removed. Moved to parent class.

+         (Classifier._OnOK): Renamed to OnOK to support parent class.
+         (Classifier._OnRevert): Renamed to OnRevert to support parent class.
+         * Thuban/UI/layerproperties.py: New. Base class for layer properties
+         dialog boxes.
+         * Thuban/UI/rasterlayerproperties.py: New. Class for displaying
+         raster layer properties.
+         * libraries/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp: Replace the old gdalwarp.cpp code
+         with the non-simple version supplied with gdal. This allows added
+         features such as creating an alpha band.
+         (GetImageData): Generate a mask array from the alpha band that is
+         generated by gdal if the user has selected it. Try to support images
+         that have more than three bands, such as images with RGB plus an
+         alpha band.
+         (ProjectRasterFile): Convert python argument for mask and tell
+         gdal to enable or disable an alpha band.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (BaseLayer.Type): New. Returns a string
+         describing what kind of layer the class is. Defaults to "Unknown",
+         but should be overridden by subclasses.
+         (Layer.Type): New. Override base class method.
+         (RasterLayer.__init__): Create a flag for using a mask. Record extra
+         data from gdal for display in the properties dialog.
+         (RasterLayer.Type): New. Override base class method.
+         (RasterLayer.UseMask): New. Returns True if the mask should be used.
+         (RasterLayer.SetUseMask): New. Set if the mask should be used.
+         (RasterLayer.ImageInfo): New. Return extra information about the image.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_rasterlayer): Load
+         the mask information.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_layer): Save mask information.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Register the RasterLayerProperties and

+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (TestBaseRenderer.test_raster_no_projection):
+         Fix test.
+         * test/test_layer.py (TestLayer.test_raster_layer): Test new methods.
+         (TestLayerModification.build_path): New. Support function.
+         (TestLayerModification.test_raster_layer): New. Test new methods.
+         * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest.testRasterLayer): Add tests for mask.
+         * test/test_load.py (TestRasterLayer): Add tests for mask.
+         * test/test_load_1_0_1.py: New. Copied from test_load.py.

+         obsolete optional mask argument.
+-01-26  Nina H�ffmeyer <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrshapes.py: Added two dictionaries to ShapeStore
+         which maps the ids and the ordinals. Fixed RowIdToOrdinal(),
+         RowOrdinalToId() and ReadRowAsDict().
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrstart.py: Added menu item which opens database
+         layers for existing database connections.
+         * Extensions/ogr/test/test_OGRShapestore.py: Fixed a message string.
+-01-26  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual-de.xml: More translations.
+-01-24  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Rework the status bar updates a bit to make sure the message about
+         the projections is produced at the right times.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.update_status_bar_messages):
+         New class variable with messages that may require a status bar
+         update.
+         (MainWindow.view_position_changed)
+         (MainWindow.update_status_bar): Rename from view_position_changed
+         to update_status_bar.  It's meaning has changed now that it may
+         also generate messages about problems with projection settings.
+         (MainWindow.__init__): Use the new update_status_bar_messages
+         class variable to subscribe update_status_bar
+         (MainWindow.set_position_text): Update doc-string.  This method
+         has to be renamed at some point.  See doc-string and comments.
+         (MainWindow.OnClose): Unsubscribe update_status_bar from all
+         messages in update_status_bar_messages
+         * Thuban/UI/viewport.py (ViewPort.forwarded_map_messages): New
+         class attribute.  map messages to be forwarded by the viewport.
+         (ViewPort._subscribe_map, ViewPort._unsubscribe_map): (un)subscribe
+         the messages in forwarded_map_messages
+-01-21  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/postgissupport.py (PostGISDatabase.__init__): Tweak
+         doc-string
+         (find_postgis_sql): Update for postgis-1.0.0-rc1, which uses a
+         different name for the initialization SQL file.
+-01-21  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py (proj_params_to_str): New. Takes
+         a projection and returns a formatted string representing the
+         parameters to feed to gdalwarp. This function eliminates
+         redundancy in draw_raster_layer().
+         (BaseRenderer.render_map_incrementally): Removed the optimization which
+         drew the top most raster layer first and then only those vector-
+         based layers that are above it. With the support for transparency
+         this optimization breaks correct behaviour.
+         (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_layer): Reorganize code to support possible
+         future enhancements to raster layer bounding box. The old behaviour has
+         not changed. Also, change calling parameters to draw_raster_data()
+         to specify new RAW data format and mask.
+         (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_data): Change signature to include an optional
+         parameter for mask information. Change documentation to mention
+         support for new parameter and added option for RAW data format.
+         The data argument is now a list of [width, height, data].
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_raster_data): Add new optional
+         mask parameter. Add new condition for RAW format, which
+         significantly reduces rendering time. Add condition for
+         mask parameter.
+         * libraries/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp (GetImageData): New. Creates a
+         data array of RGB values from the projected image returned from
+         the gdal warping functions. In the case of palette based images, it
+         converts the NO_DATA index to the mask color.
+         (ProjectRasterFile): Removed all custom memory driver references
+         and replaced it with the standard in-memory dataset provided
+         by gdal. The return data is no longer a BMP file, but an array
+         of RGB values, one set triple per pixel.
+         * libraries/thuban/bmpdataset.cpp: Removed. Unnecessary.
+         * libraries/thuban/cpl_mfile.h: Removed. Unnecessary.
+         * libraries/thuban/cpl_mfile.cpp: Removed. Unnecessary.
+         * setup.py (thuban_build_ext.finalize_options): Removed mention
+         of cpl_mfile.cpp and bmpdataset.cpp files in the list of source
+         files. These are obsolete with the new version of gdalwarp.cpp
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (SimpleRenderer.draw_raster_data):
+         Updated signature.
+         (TestBaseRenderer.test_raster_no_projection): Changed the test
+         data to be data in the uncompressed RAW format returned from
+         ProjectRasterFile.
+-01-21  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.view_position_changed): Made
+         string available for i18n.
+-01-20  Russell Nelson  <[email protected]>
+         * Resources/Projections/defaults.proj: Ruin the speling of the
+         Lambert-93 projection so it doesn't run into the wx UTF-8 bug.
+         It's the wrong thing to do in the long run, but it's necessary for
+         those users until that bug is fixed.  Otherwise the projection
+         dialog segfaults.  Better to annoy some Lambert-93 users with a
+         spelling mistake than every Fedora Core 3 user of Thuban-CVS.
+-01-20  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.view_position_changed): Added
+         docstring and comment that the warning code here is a hack.
+-01-20  Russell Nelson  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.view_position_changed): Warn
+         user about misprojected layers when their lat/lon bounding
+         box exceeds rational lat/lon values.
+-01-20  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py (unicodeToLocale): Improved:
+         Use 'ascii' and then 'replace' for other characters
+         when getdefaultlocale returns None. Thanks to Bernhard H. .
+-01-20  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (GenQuantilesPanel.OnRetrieve): Added a comment
+         that OnRangeText might be called twice and using None as argument.
+-01-20  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (GenQuantilesPanel.OnRetrieve): Add a
+         OnRangeText(0) to work around a different in wx Behaviour noticed
+         on MacOSX, thanks to Lorenzo Moretti and Daniel Calvelo for the fix.
+-01-20  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py: take iso-8859-15 when getdefaultlocale returns
+         None. (Fixes rt#2910.)
+-01-18  Frank Koormann <[email protected]>
+         New Extension: mouseposition
+         Tool to collect mouse click positions (map coordinates) in a dialog.
+         * Extensions/mouseposition/__init__.py: New, extension registration
+         * Extensions/mouseposition/mouseposition.py: New, implements the
+         dialog and adds a tool to Thuban mainwindow.
+         * Extensions/mouseposition/position.xpm: New, icon for tool.
+-01-14  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual-de.xml: More translations.
+-01-11  Frank Koormann <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.DuplicateLayer):
+         Fix indention bug.
+-01-09  Frank Koormann <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.DuplicateLayer):
+         BugFix 2901: Explicitly copy layers ClassificationColumn since it
+         is not part of the layers Classification.

+         (class TestVirtualDC): Using self.dc and self.file from setUp().
+-12-17  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Two windows specific fixes ported from thuban-1�0-branch:
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py (unicodeToLocale): Use getdefaultlocale
+         instead of getlocale because getlocale doesn't return a usable
+         encoding name on a german windows 2000
+         * setup.py: windows build: Removed the absolute path names and
+         made all prfixes relative to the directory containing setup.py.
+         Makes it a little easier to adapt to a different system.
+-12-16  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Add support for PostGIS tables with LINESTRING geometries.
+         Fixes RT#2299
+         * Thuban/Model/postgisdb.py (shapetype_map): Add LINESTRING
+         * test/postgissupport.py
+         (PostgreSQLServer.get_default_static_data_db): Rename the "roads"
+         table to "roads-multi" because it now uses MULTILINESTRING
+         geometries and introduce a new "roads" table that uses LINESTRING
+         (coords_to_multilinestring): Make the doc string more precise
+         (coords_to_linestring): New.  Create a LINESTRING WKT
+         representatin

+         derived classes TestPostGISShapestoreLineString for LINESTRING
+         geometries and TestPostGISShapestoreMultiLineString for
+         MULTILINESTRING geometries.  Most test methods are in the base
+         class with the exception of tests that explicitly check the raw
+         format.
+-12-16  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Make the test suite work with PostGIS 0.8.2 and PostgreSQL 7.4
+         * test/postgissupport.py (find_postgis_sql): Different postgis
+         versions put the postgis.sql file into slightly different places
+         so we have to look in both.  The updated doc string describes this
+         is more detail.
+         * test/test_postgis_db.py
+         (TestPostGISSpecialCases.test_column_name_quoting): The return
+         value of UniqueValues is unsorted, so it has to be sorted for
+         comparison.
+-12-16  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Fix for RT#2237
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame._show_proj_panel): If the
+         panel to be shown is the UnknownProjPanel disable the OK and Try
+         buttons.  Otherwise enable them.
+         (ProjFrame.__GetProjection): The UnknownProjPanel returns None for
+         the parameters.  In that case __GetProjection also returns None
+         now.
+-12-15  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (GenQuantilesPanel.__init__): Set the
+         minimum number of classes to 2.  The calculate_quantiles needs at
+         least two and raises an exception otherwise.
+         Fixes RT#2549
+-12-15  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/postgissupport.py (PostgreSQLServer.execute_sql): Extend to

+-12-15  Frank Koormann <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_load.py (TestAltPath.checkSession): New, extended checks if
+         session has been loaded successfully. The check is called by the relevant
+         tests after executing load_session().
+-12-13  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Make sure the region used to determine which shapes are visible
+         actually matches the region on the printed page.  If this isn't
+         done properly some shapes might not be printed.
+         Fixes RT #2692
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapPrintout.draw_on_dc): The region for the
+         renderer has to be at the same position as the mapregion
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (ExportRenderer.RenderMap): self.region
+         has to be moved by (self.shiftx, self.shifty) too.
+-12-13  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/pyprojection/Projection.i: Work around a bug in the
+         generated python code which leads to exception in the __del__
+         method when the constructor fails.  See the comments in the code
+         for more details.
+         * libraries/pyprojection/Projection.py: Updated from Projection.i
+         with SWIG.
+-12-13  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

+         (TestAltPath.test_05_path_error_fix_from_list_changed)
+         (TestAltPath.test_06_path_error_fix_from_list_fails): self.session
+         is destroyed in tearDown, so there's no need to do it in a test
+         case.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.open_shapefile): Remove a
+         debug print
+-12-13  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/svgexport/test/test_svgmapwriter.py
+         (TestDrawSplines.setUp): Do not use super with the unittest
+         classes because in Python 2.2 they're still old-style classes.
+-12-13  Frank Koormann <[email protected]>
+     Alternative Path feature: When loading a (moved) session where
+         shapefiles cannot be found, ask the user. Use the specified path
+         if further shapefiles are missing. However, ask the usr for confirmation
+         in such cases.
+         * test/test_load.py (TestAltPath): New, tests for alternative path feature
+         in load_session()
+         (Shapefile_CallBack): Helper, implements controllable callback.

+         callback similar to db_connection_callback.
+         (ThubanApplication.run_alt_path_dialog): New, implementaion of
+         shapefile_callback. In addition to raising the dialog the control of
+         self.path('alt_path') is implemented here.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.__init__): Added shapefile_callback.
+         (SessionLoader.open_shapefile): Open shapefile, eventually with
+         alternative path. This wrapps the "theSession.OpenShapefile(filename)"

+         (SessionLoader.start_fileshapesource): Call open_shapefile().
+         (SessionLoader.start_layer): Call open_shapefile().
+         (load_session): Added shapefile_callback.
+         * Thuban/UI/altpathdialog.py: New, implements dialogs for alternative path
+         feature (search / check).
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual.xml: Added documentation of new feature.
+-12-11  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+          svgexport 0.9.2: Point size supports for maps.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/svgmapwriter.py: Added import of SHAPETYPE_POINT
+         (def draw_point_shape): new parameter size defaults to 2 as before.

+         Added draw_func call with size when dealing with a point layer.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/__init__.py: bumped version to 0.9.2.
+-12-11  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         Made sure that newlines are inserted in the svg path d attributes
+         to raise the chance that the line length will be below 255 characters,
+         as recommended by REC SVG 1.1 in section 8.3.1.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/svgmapwriter.py(DrawPolygon):
+         Adding \n before L's and changed whitespace handling.

+         * Extensions/svgexport/test/test_svgmapwriter.py:
+         Removed test_drawbezier in favour of new test_drawspline3 and
+         test_drawspline4 within new class TestDrawSplines(TestVirtualDC).
+         All only to test DrawSpline.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/svgmapwriter.py(DrawSpline):
+         New implementation now really using the strange algorithm of
+         xfig 3.1's approximated splines and its conversion to postscript
+         with one twist: SVG can do quadratic beziers, so skipped translation
+         to cubic beziers.
+         (TestWithDC): Typo in comment fixed.
+-12-09  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py: Added missing character encoding
+         * Extensions/wms/properties.py (OpenWMSProperties): removed
+         * Extensions/wms/parser.py (WMSCapabilitiesParser.error): Dropped

+         * Extensions/wms/layer.py (WMSLayer.GetMapImg): Improved graphic
+         format priority now that more formats are supported globally by
+         the render engine.
+-12-08  Silke Reimer <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrshapes.py: Substituted ogr-method CloseRings

+         the test run correctly even if the extension is a package.
+         Also removed the "import Thuban" which makes no sense.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/__init__.py: Fix to have the extensions'
+         test module also be executed from the global test routine.
+         This is done by looking for the absense of the DISPLAY variable.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/maplegend.py: Moved the menu entry from Extensions

+where found.
+-11-17  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Another open issue fixed regarding sizeable symbols: correct rendering of
+         selected symbols.

+         (MF_Web): Added the get and set function for the template.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_export.py: Added the function to check
+         if a mapobject exists and used it to set the status of the menu items.
+         If no mapfile exists the settings could not be edditied.
+         Define after which menuitem the exportitem will include.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_handle.py: Removed the import
+         Thuban.UI.mainwindow clause, because it is not needed.
+         Added the command Refresh() to all "OnChangeColor()" functions,
+         because the color preview window was not updated on a color change.
+         Added the function to check if a mapobject exists and used it to set the
+         status of the menu items. If no mapobject exists the settings could not
+         be edditied.
+         (Map_Dialog): Moved the imagetype selector from the
+         Outputformat_Dialog to Map_Dialog and removed Outputformat_Dialog.
+         (Web_Dialog): Removed the name label and added the template textbox.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_import.py (import_mapfile): Replace
+         the exception handling on loading the layers by an if statement. It
+         is not necessary to us the exception there.
+         The Filepath creation now use os.path.join to build the path.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/test/test_mapserver.py: Moved the testMap
+         definition from global to the setUp function. Now the testMap will
+         initialize new on each test.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/sample/iceland.map: Include three new
+         classes in the Line Layer, to test logical Expressions.
+         Set the status of the class "Point9" in the Point Layer to off
+-07-13  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py
+         (BaseRenderer.render_map_incrementally): Fix a logic bug in the
+         optimization that tries not to draw layers under a raster layer.
+         The bug was harmless.  All it effectively did was to produce The a
+         strange messages about not being able to draw Layer instances for
+         all vector layers below a raster layer which would be invisible
+         anyway because the raster layer currently always covers the entire
+         window
+-07-08  Jan Sch�ngel <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mapfile.py: Added code to generade and get
+         a list of supported outputformats. This formats are not alle supported
+         because there is no possibility to get the outputformat without the
+         name known. Make some formal changes to the code.
+         (MF_Map.set_name()): Fixed a bug if the name is None.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_handle.py: Removed the image_type import
+         statement, because its not needed anymore. The Outputformat is now
+         given as string from the object. Make some formal changes to the code.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/test/test_mapserver.py: Added new test for
+         most of the new setting which were added during the last changes.
+         Removed the MF_Size Test.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/test/test.map: Added a new class to the
+         cultural Layer to test expressions and the the status of that layer
+         from on to default.
+         Changed the data path the the correct Thuban Data
+         Added the Outputformat Object and Symbol Object

+         (MF_Class): Added set_status and get_status.
+         (MF_Layer.add_thubanclass): Added code to set the class status

+         from mapfile. Added a function to create a circle object like the one
+         from thuban if no one exists.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_handle.py: All colors are now set when
+         press ok in the assosiated dialog and not at the end of the
+         colordialog.
+         Added the Dialog for the Scalebar.
+         (Label_Dialog): Added the offset option
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_import.py: Added code to import the
+         status of the Classes.
+         Fixed a bug with the projection. Now the to_meter parameter will be
+         added to the Projection only if it doesn't exists.
+-07-01  Jan Sch�ngel <[email protected]>
+         Added the functionality to handle the content thuban is not
+         able to handle directly.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_handle.py: New. This module extents
+         Thuban with the possibility to edit the mapfile content.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_import.py: Added the possibility
+         to import mapfiles without any layer selected. So it is possible
+         to edit the other settings in a mapfile.

+         Added the possibility to import the projection to a layer if one
+         is defined.
+         Status settings (On,Off) will now set in thuban (visible, invisible).
+         fixed a bug with with classnames. If no classname is set in mapfile

+         possibility to save a new mapfile or use the old one which is
+         imported or new created.

+         moment.
+         (MF_Class.set_thubanstyle): Now point layers will set to a default
+         symbol to show a circle in mapserver and not only a 1px dot.
+         (MF_Style.__init__): Fixed a bug with the color. Color was not set
+         correct before.

+         Removed class VFile and used standard StringIO instead.
+-06-23  Jan Sch�ngel  <[email protected]>
+         Add the export function to the umn_mapserver extension.
+         * Extension/umn_mapserver/mf_export.py: New. This module extents
+         Thuban with the possibility to export the Thuban content.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mapfile.py: Expand the classes to use

+         because of the hint from Bernhard Herzog.
+         Corrected the handling of absolute pathnames.
+         Changed the Text of the Menu-Item, now the beginning is upper case.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/README: Added the --with-tiff statement.
+-06-16  Jan Sch�ngel  <[email protected]>
+         Add a sample and make some changes.
+         * Extension/umn_mapserver/mf_import.py: Changed the wxPython.wx
+         import from * to explicit used statements. Changed the
+         Thuban.UI.mainwindow import phrase, too.
+         (import_mapfile):Corrected a clerical mistake.
+         Added wxCHANGE_DIR in OpenFile Dialog.
+         Added a MultipleChoiceDialog, to select the layers to load from
+         mapfile into thuban. Thereby the projection is only set if one layer
+         is selected.
+         Added the possibility to handle relative pathnames which uses
+         up-level references.
+         Removed some doubled code.
+         Corrected an error with integer values used as label in thuban
+         ClassGroup.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/sample: New.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/sample/README: New. Describes the

+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/test/test_mapserver
+         (mapserver_import_Test_generalClasses.test_MF_Color):
+         Corrected the thubancolor test.
+-06-15  Jan Sch�ngel  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/README: New. Install instruction.
+-06-14  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/cpl_mfile.h: Added copyright header.
+         * libraries/thuban/ cpl_mfile.cpp, cpl_mfile.h: Added non-protecting
+         Free Software License so that it is most useful with gdalwarp
+         and bmpdataset.
+-06-14  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/multiplechoicedialog.py (__version__): Add missing
+         import of wxPython.wx itself (as opposed to the contents of
+         wxPython.wx).  For some reason wxPython.wx is available as
+         wxPython.wx.wx in at least some 2.4 releases.  Fixes RT#2482
+         wrt. wxPython 2.4.
+-06-10  Jan Sch�ngel  <[email protected]>
+         Initial version of new extension "umn_mapserver".  This extension aims
+         to manage configuration for the UMN MapServer application.  This
+         inital version just imports the .map-files and displays all, Thuban is
+         capable of.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver, Extensions/umn_mapserver/test: New.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/test/README: New. Describes how to run the
+         tests.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/test/test.map: New. This is a test
+         .map-file for automated tests of the umn_mapserver extension of
+         Thuban.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/test/test_mapserver.py: New. Tests for
+         UMN Mapserver classes.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/__init__.py: New. Init to make this
+         directory a package.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mapfile.py: New. Classes to represent
+         '.map'-file objects.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_import.py: New. This module extends
+         Thuban with the possibility to handle UMN MapServer mapfiles.
+-06-03  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.TreeInfo): Convert the bounding box
+         to a tuple before using it as arguments to the % operator.  This
+         fixes the formatting issue filed in RT#2239 on 2004-01-13 and
+         reported today on thuban-list by Jan Sch�ngel
+         * test/test_layer.py (TestLayerModification.setUp): Save the
+         filename as an instance variable so we can refer to it in tests
+         (TestLayerModification.test_tree_info): Uncomment this method
+         again and make it work.  This tests for the formatting issue
+         filed in RT#2239 on 2004-01-13
+-05-28  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py: Fix some typos.
+-05-18  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/gns2shp/gns2shp.py (gns2shp): Fixed a bug
+         by increasing a field size.
+-05-17  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Update to newest shapelib and get rid of Thuban specific
+         extensions, i.e. use the new DBFUpdateHeader instead of our
+         DBFCommit kludge
+         * libraries/shapelib/shpopen.c: Update to version from current
+         shapelib CVS.
+         * libraries/shapelib/shapefil.h: Update to version from current
+         shapelib CVS.
+         * libraries/shapelib/dbfopen.c: Update to version from current
+         shapelib CVS.
+         (DBFCommit): Effectively removed since shapelib itself has
+         DBFUpdateHeader now which is better for what DBFCommit wanted to
+         achieve.
+         We're now using an unmodified version of dbfopen.
+         * setup.py (extensions): Add the HAVE_UPDATE_HEADER macro with
+         value '1' to the Lib.dbflibc extension.  This simply reflects the
+         shapelib and pyshapelib updates
+-05-16  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Finished introduction of Menu.FindOrInsertMenu.
+         * Extensions/drawshape/drawshape.py: Add the command
+         to the experimental menu additionally to the toolbar.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/svgsaver.py: Use FindOrInsertMenu() instead of
+         finding menu on its own.
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual.xml: updated sample file
+         to use FindOrInsertMenu().
+         * Examples/simple_extensions/hello_world.py: Use FindOrInsertMenu()
+         instead of finding menu on its own.
+-05-11  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_menu.py (MenuTest.test): Added testing
+         of method Menu.FindOrInsertMenu.
+-05-10  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Introduce and use Menu.FindOrInsertMenu.
+         * Thuban/UI/menu.py (Menu.FindOrInsertMenu): New. Find a
+           given menu or, if not found, insert it.
+         * Extensions/bboxdump/bboxdump.py, /Extensions/gns2shp/gns2shp.py,
+         /Extensions/importAPR/importAPR.py, Extensions/profiling/profiling.py,
+         /Extensions/wms/wms.py: Use FindOrInsertMenu() instead of finding
+         menu on its own.
+-05-06  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Introduce a abstract ColorDialog class and remove
+         and outdated file.
+         * Thuban/UI/proj4dialog.py: Removed. It is has been
+         replaced by projdialog for quite a while and is not used
+         anymore.
+         * Thuban/UI/colordialog.py: New. Abstraction for color selection
+         dialog(s).
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (SelectPropertiesDialog.__GetColor):
+         Now calls the abstract ColorDialog instead of wxColourDialog.
+         This also removed the dependency to Color class conversion
+         from this function.
+-05-04  Frank Koormann  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/bboxdump/__init__.py: Fixed string left over from
+         copying.
+         * Extensions/bboxdump/bboxdump.py (bboxdump):
+         Use layer.ShapeStore().AllShapes() to loop over shapes instead of
+         xrange(layer.NumShapes()). Compile the bboxmessage from a list
+         of formatted outputs (string.join) instead of appending to the
+         message. Two progress bar dialogs to report progress on the sometimes
+         lenghty processing.
+-04-22  Frank Koormann  <[email protected]>
+         New Extension to dump bounding boxes of all shapes of the selected
+         layer. An optional column can be specified to group the objects,
+         in this case the bounding box is a union of the separate boxes.
+         Dump can be displayed in a ScrolledMessageDialog or written to file.
+         The Extension is simply a combination of available and well tested
+         Thuban functionality.
+         * Extensions/bboxdump/__init__.py: New: Init to make this
+         directory a package.
+         * Extensions/bboxdump/bboxdump.py: New: Dump bounding boxes of
+         all shapes of the selected layer.
+-04-22  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (GenUniquePanel.__init__): Fixed two
+         strings to be i18n now.
+-04-18  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Changing popup menu of legend from direct building
+         to using the Menu construction as used for the mainwindow.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: New method commands: layer_to_top,
+         layer_to_bottom, layer_visibility
+         (MainWindow.LayerToTop): New. Put current layer to the top.
+         (MainWindow.LayerToBottom): New. Put current layer to bottom.
+         (MainWindow.HideLayer, MainWindow.ShowLayer, _has_visible_map):
+         Replace 1,0 by True, False.
+         (MainWindow.ToggleLayerVisibility): New. Toggle visibility of
+         current layer.
+         (MainWindow.LayerShowTable): Removed raising of dialog.
+         (_has_selected_layer_visible): New. Support function.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py: ID_POP_xxx: removed.
+         (LegendPanel.__init__): Removed EVT_MENU bindings.
+         (LegendTree._OnRightClick): Replace direct creation of
+         menu via wx Classes by applying the menu definition
+         as of Menu class of menu.py.
+-04-16  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/exceptiondialog.py (ExceptionDialog.dialog_layout): Improved
+     button string to stronger clearify that Thuban will be closed when hitting
+         the button.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.LayerShowTable): Added docstring.
+         Now for layers without a ShapeStore a corresponding message is given
+         to the user, that this layer has no table to show.
+-04-15  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/layer.py (WMSLayer.setWMSFormat): Need to
+         recalculate the format for the internal render engine as well.
+         * Extensions/wms/properties.py (wmsProperties): First start for a
+         properties dialog.  It's functional for a first selection of
+         layers, but still has some weired wxWidgets/GTK problems but
+         beautification can be done later.
+         * Extensions/wms/layer.py: Added more documentation
+         (WMSLayer.getFormats): New: Return list of supported image formats
+         by the WMS server
+         (WMSLayer.getLayers): New: Return the list of layer names
+         supported by the WMS server
+         (WMSLayer.getLayerTitle): New: Return the title of the named layer
+         (WMSLayer.getWMSFormat): New: Return the image format that is used
+         for WMS GetMap requests
+         (WMSLayer.setWMSFormat): New: Set the image format that is used
+         for WMS GetMap requests
+         (WMSLayer.__init__): Move away from using only one layer to using
+         a list of layers (unsorted at the moment, though).
+         (WMSLayer.getVisibleLayers): New: Return the list of names for all
+         visible layers
+         (WMSLayer.setVisibleLayers): New: Set the list of names for all
+         visible layers
+         * Extensions/wms/wms.py: Moved the WMS layer into layer.py in
+         order to establish a clean structure.
+         * Extensions/wms/layer.py: Moved the WMS layer into a file on its
+         own in order to establish a clean structure.
+-04-13  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/parser.py (WMSCapabilitiesParser.grok): Added
+         support for oldstyle (WMS 1.0 apparently) image format
+         specification.
+         * Extensions/wms/wms.py (WMSLayer.calcFormat): Reduce the list of
+         supported graphic formats back to JPEG and BMP, PNG and others are
+         too *cough* experimental...  Sorry, I meant to filter this out
+         before I committed this part.  This should make the WMS extension
+         run from CVS again.
+         (wms_dialog): Reset an empty URL to None so that the subsequent
+         program can depend on this, since the dialog will indeed return an
+         empty URL, causing another declaration of love by Python.
+         * Extensions/wms/parser.py (WMSCapabilitiesParser.getLayerBBox):
+         Whenever a native BoundingBox request cannot be fulfilled, check
+         whether the requested SRS is EPSG:3426, in which case return the
+         LatLonBoundingBox values.
+         * Extensions/wms/test/test_parser.py
+         (TestWMSCapabilitiesParser.test_LayerSRS): Added a test for
+         ignoring AUTO:* SRS.
+         (TestWMSCapabilitiesParser.test_LatLonBoundingBoxes_as_bboxes):
+         Added another test method to test whether the LatLonBoundingBox
+         values will be returned if BoundingBox values are requested with
+         SRS set to EPSG:3426.
+         * Extensions/wms/parser.py (WMSCapabilitiesParser.peekLayers):
+         Added rudimentary support for non-EPSG SRS, i.e. ignore them for
+         the moment by placing them into a variable which is currently
+         unused.  Also test whether the EPSG SRS is numerical as it should
+         be and add an error message if it is not.
+         * Extensions/wms/test/sample.xml: Added AUTO:* SRS since they
+         appear in the real world as well.  Since we cannot handle them yet
+         (OGCLib can't either), we will ignore them for the moment.
+         * Extensions/wms/parser.py: Use a variable for denoting the sample
+         filename
+         (WMSCapabilitiesParser.peekLayers): Added support for error
+         messages during grok().  They will be aggregated in an array and
+         may be displayed later.  We may have to add a classification
+         "Warning" and "Error" to this.  That requires more experience,
+         though, since not every error may be lethal.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.LayerShowTable): Raise the
+         ShowTable() dialog/frame when the user attempts to display it
+         while it has been opened before already and not closed again.
+-04-11  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/infodialog.py: Adjusted the class documentation
+         * Extensions/wms/wms.py (WMSLayer.__init__, WMSLayer.GetMapImg):
+         Switch to using Thuban{Begin,End}BusyCursor instead of the pure
+         wxWidgets variants.
+         (WMSLayer.__init__): The epsg_id variable is named top_srs now.
+         * Extensions/wms/infodialog.py: Added an information dialog that
+         will display various information about the WMS current resource,
+         so that additional information such as the title, the abstract,
+         fees and access constraints can be displayed for the user if they
+         are documented in the WMS XML.
+-04-10  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/parser.py (WMSCapabilitiesParser.grok): Adjusted
+         string handling.  It's "foo".lower() and not lower(foo) without
+         lower imported from strings or something.
+         * Extensions/wms/wms.py (WMSLayer): Incorporated WMSCapabilities
+         from capabilities.py and parser.py.  Implement priority list for
+         supported graphics formats, take care of wbmp != bmp.  PNG, TIFF
+         and GIF are supported here, but not yet by main Thuban.  Hence,
+         support for them may be removed later.  Special contribution to
+         usability: get wxWidgets to change the cursor when we're waiting
+         for data from the network so the user won't start to worry.  This
+         causes a redrawing error/warning, though.
+         * Extensions/wms/parser.py (WMSCapabilitiesParser.grok): Unlink
+         the DOM object.
+-04-01  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/capabilities.py: Adjusted documentation
+         (WMSCapabilities.__init__): Improved documentation, fixed syntax
+         (WMSCapabilities.saveCapabilities): Only catch IOError when
+         handling files
+         (WMSCapabilities.loadCapabilities): Only catch IOError when
+         handling files
+         __main__: corrected variable naming
+         (WMSCapabilities.fetchCapabilities,loadCapabilities): Make this
+         class a specialisation of WMSCapabilitiesParser as well.  Also
+         execute grok() after loading or fetching capabilities, if that
+         went well, so that subsequent calls can already access the data.
+         (WMSCapabilities.getVersion): Export the used version of the
+         GetCapabilities request, so we can use it for subsequent calls,
+         i.e. for GetMap requests.
+         (WMSCapabilities.fetchCapabilities): Added proper error handling
+         when the GetCapabilities request failed, so that the surrounding
+         program can act accordingly.
+-03-30  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/parser.py (WMSCapabilitiesParser.getLayerSRS):
+         Adjusted the getLayerSRS method to return the list of SRSes
+         extracted from <SRS> elements instead of <BoundingBox> elements.
+         Added a bit of documentation as well.
+         (WMSCapabilitiesParser.checkLayerSRS): Removed integrity test
+         since it was only implemented due to a misunderstanding.
+         * Extensions/wms/test/test_parser.py
+         (TestWMSCapabilitiesParser.test_LayerSRS): Adjust the tests to
+         reflect the corrected interpretation of the standard: i.e. a layer
+         does not have to define a BoundingBox for all SRSes it supports.
+         Hence the <SRS></SRS> specification is authoritative, not the list
+         of BoundingBoxes.
+         (TestWMSCapabilitiesParser.test_BoundingBoxes): Added a new test
+         to ensure None is returned for a non-existing SRS.
+         (TestWMSCapabilitiesParser.test_grok): Removed test_grok method
+         since it is not applicable anymore.  Listing more SRSes in <SRS>
+         elements is valid according to the specs.
+-03-26  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * README: Nicer formatting of text. Improved descriptions.
+         Reflected wxWidgets name change.
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py: Extended copyright to 2004 and added
+         information about the thuban-devel mailinglist.
+-03-24  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/capabilities.py: Renamed the class to contain
+         'WMS', also added a linebreak where required
+         * Extensions/wms/parser.py: Finally added the XML parser for the
+         GetCapabilities response.
+         * Extensions/wms/test/sample.xml: Adjusted the sample file so that
+         <SRS> elements match the <BoundingBox> elements, except for the
+         layer 'beschriftung'.
+         * Extensions/wms/test/test_parser.py: Encode non-ascii strings
+         since Python uses unicode strings internally, otherwise
+         comparisons will fail.  Removed tests for getLayerBBoxSRS() since
+         the SRS will be calculated anyway and this method is obsoleted by
+         getLayerSRS().  Denote SRS as strings and not as cardinal numbers.
+         Move loading the sample file into the setUp method.  Added a test
+         for finding the integrity problem in the sample response.
+         Improved formatting.
+         * Extensions/wms/domutils.py: Added convenience routines for
+         handling of Document Object Model (DOM) nodes.
+         * Extensions/wms/test/test_domutils.py: Added a test for the
+         domutils module
+-03-19  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/test/test_parser.py (TestWMSCapabilitiesParser):
+         Moved path detection and adding into a module of its own,
+         adjustpath, which exports thubandir as main Thuban directory.
+         * Extensions/wms/test/test_ogclib.py (TestWMSLib): Moved path
+         detection and adding into a module of its own, adjustpath, which
+         exports thubandir as main Thuban directory.  Reorganised the
+         module in order to support the SkipTest feature for Thuban test
+         cases.
+         * Extensions/wms/test/adjustpath.py: Moved path detection and
+         adding into a module of its own.
+-03-18  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/test/test_parser.py: Added another test for
+         checking whether the WMS XML parser (to be implemented) returns
+         the information we expect.  This requires a sample WMS WML file
+         (sample.xml) which has been extracted from the frida server and
+         "improved" manually.
+         * Extensions/wms/test/test_ogclib.py: Added legacy code to add the
+         main Thuban directory to the path in order to be able to import
+         random modules.  Adjusted the PyOGCLib detection to reuse the
+         information gathered.  Also added a note about the PYTHONPATH
+         environment variable.
+         * Extensions/wms/test/test_ogclib.py: The format specification is
+         a mime-type, not a graphic format, hence image/jpeg wou ld be the
+         proper format and not JPEG.  We'll also have to take care of the
+         encoding of / as %2F.
+-03-16  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/test/test_ogclib.py: Added a (hopefully)
+         comprehensive test for the getMapURL method, built compare URLs
+         according to the documentation in OGC 01-068r3
+         * Extensions/wms/capabilities.py (WMSCapabilities): Added the
+         class WMSCapabilities to manage capabilites, will incorporate
+         parsing the capabilities response and provide details for other
+         classes.
+-03-12  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Support views in addition to normal tables in the postgis
+         shapestore
+         * Thuban/Model/postgisdb.py
+         (PostGISShapeStore._fetch_table_information): Add a fallback for
+         the case where the table name is not in the geometry_columns
+         table.  This is usually the case for views.  Also, set
+         self.shapestore here.
+         (PostGISShapeStore.ShapeType): No need to query the database all
+         the time.  The shape type is now determined in
+         _fetch_table_information

+         (TestPostGISShapestorePointOIDAsGIDColumn.setUp): Pass the name of
+         the geometry_column explicitly to test whether that works
+-03-12  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Final step for explicit id/geometry columns: Loading and saving
+         * Resources/XML/thuban-1.1.dtd: New.  Derived from thuban-1.0.dtd
+         with the following changes:
+         (dbshapesource): Two new attributes id_column and geometry_column

+         the dialog is constructed. Add combo boxes to select id and
+         geometry column.  Rename some instance variables.
+         (ChooseDBTableDialog.GetTable): Return id and geometry column
+         names
+         (ChooseDBTableDialog.OnTableSelect): New. Event handler for
+         selections in the table list
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.AddDBLayer): Use id_column
+         and geometry_column
+         * Thuban/Model/session.py (Session.OpenDBShapeStore): Add the new

+         specific
+         (PostGISConnection.table_columns): New. Somewhat experimental
+         method to let the db dialogs provide lists of columns to users so
+         that they can select id and geometry columns.
+         (PostGISTable.__init__): The default value of the id_column
+         parameter is now None it still means "gid" effectively, though.
+         (PostGISTable.IDColumn): New introspection method to return a
+         column object for the id column
+         (PostGISShapeStore.GeometryColumn): New introspection method to
+         return a column object for the geometry column
+         * test/test_postgis_db.py
+         (TestPostGISConnection.test_gis_tables_non_empty):
+         Removed. Subsumed by the new:
+         (TestPostGISConnection.test_gis_tables_with_views_and_tables):
+         New. Tes the GeometryTables and table_columns methods with actual
+         tables and views.
+         (PointTests.test_id_column, PointTests.test_geometry_column):

+-03-11  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (GenQuantilesPanel.GetList): The row
+         numbers given to ReadValue are ordinals.
+-03-11  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

+         (PostGISTable.SimpleQuery): Use the id column name provided to the
+         constructor instead of "gid"
+         (PostGISShapeStore.__init__): New parameter id_column analogously
+         to PostGISTable.__init__.  This parameter is simply passed through
+         to the base class constructor
+         (PostGISShapeStore._create_col_from_description): Fix typo in
+         doc-string
+         (PostGISShapeStore.Shape, PostGISShapeStore.AllShapes)

+         that against the wxPython version.
+         * Thuban/version.py (thuban_branch, thuban_release): New variables
+         controlling which and how Thuban versions are shown.  See the

+         Extensions/svgexport into a package.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/svgmapwriter.py: Reorder the imports and

+         * Extensions/svgexport/svgsaver.py,
+         Extensions/svgexport/svgmapwriter.py,
+         Extensions/svgexport/maplegend.py: Added again.  This time in the
+         correct place.
+-02-17  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Fix for RT#2245
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnInit): Initialize
+         instance variables before trying to create any windows.  Creating
+         windows can start an event loop if e.g. message boxes are popped

+         may want to access things from the application.
+         (ThubanApplication.maps_changed): The mainwindow may not have been
+         created yet, so check whether it has been created before calling
+         its methods

+         (PostGISShapeStore._fetch_table_information): Also use the name of
+         the geometry column when looking for the srid
+         (PostGISShapeStore.ShapeType): Also use the name of the geometry
+         column when looking for the shape type

+         systems to create in the new db.
+         (PostgreSQLServer.new_postgis_db)
+         (PostgreSQLServer.get_static_data_db): New parameter
+         reference_systems to be passed through ultimately to

+         * test/test_load.py (LoadSessionTest.filenames): With the new

+         these warnings into errors
+-11-19  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_table.py: Revert to revision 1.5 again. Changing the
+         tests to use the new table interface is completely wrong since the

+-11-11  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.Destroy): New. Clear all

+         harder and forces a collection when the interpreter terminates)
+         (load_session): Call the handler's Destroy method to make sure
+         that it gets garbage collected early. Otherwise it will be
+         collected very late if at all and it holds some references to e.g.

+         temporary files)
+         * test/test_load.py (TestSingleLayer.test_leak): New. test for the
+         resource leak in load_session

+         Tweak the usage of the sqlite database to make common use cases
+         more responsive. In most cases copying the data to the sqlite

+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py
+         (BaseRenderer.draw_shape_layer_incrementally): Use the ReadValue

+         fashion
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame): Substantial changes

+         Popup menu for legend. Scheduled for the 1.2 release this was too
+         simple to implement: The popup menu is bound to the legend tree, while

+         only used in GREAT-ER but not used in Thuban itself. When GREAT-ER

+         better
+         * po/de.po: Update for 0.9

+-08-25  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.check_attrs): Raise a

+         active.
+         * test/test_load.py (TestLoadError.test): Test the message in the
