+         * test/test_load.py (LoadSessionTest.filenames): With the new
+         filename scheme the filenames in the tests should be
+         understandable on all currently supported platforms so we turn
+         this into an empty list because we don't have to normalize them
+         anymore
+-11-28  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_layer.py (TestLayer.test_arc_layer_with_projection):

+         * Thuban/Model/data.py (ShapefileStore._open_shapefile)
+         (ShapefileStore.__init__): Factor opening the shapefile into a
+         separate method (the new _open_shapefile). This makes the code a
+         bit more readable but the real reason is that it makes some evil
+         hacks easier. :-)
+-11-24  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.check_attrs): If no
+         converter is specified for an attribute assume it's a string

+         what happens with column names in DBF files that contain non-ascii

+         editing is enabled use the grid ctrl which allows editing of the
+         values
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (AutoTransientTable.write_record):
+         New. Just delegate this to the underlying table.
+-11-20  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_proj.py (ProjFileReadTests.test_read_unreadable_file):
+         Skip this test if run under non-posix systems since it only works
+         there
+-11-19  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/resource.py: Rework the way gdal support is
+         determined so that we can give a reason in the about why gdal is
+         not supported.
+         (gdal_support_status): New. Variable holding a string with the
+         reason for no gdal support
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py (About.__init__): Add the reason why gdal is

+         gone.
+         * test/runtests.py (main): The old table interface is gone and
+         with it the deprecation warnings so remove the code that turns
+         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
+         whole purpose of the tests in this module is to test the old
+         interface.
+-11-18  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/postgisdb.py (PostGISConnection.MatchesParameters):
+         New. Test whether the connection matches a set of connection

+         MatchesParameters method
+-11-18  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Lib/connector.py (Publisher): Introduce a new flag,
+         _was_destroyed, to indicate whether an publisher instance has
+         already been destroyed.
+         (Publisher.Unsubscribe): Only disconnect if the publisher has not
+         been destroyed yet.

+         Use quoted table and column names
+         * test/test_postgis_db.py (TestPostGISSpecialCases)
+         (TestPostGISIgnoredColumns): Rename the class to
+         TestPostGISSpecialCases because that better describes the new
+         cases
+         (TestPostGISSpecialCases.test_unsupported_types)
+         (TestPostGISSpecialCases.test): Rename the method to
+         test_unsupported_types because we need a more descriptive name now

+-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

+         simple to implement: The popup menu is bound to the legend tree, while
+         the events are hanlded by its anchestor, the legend panel. This

+         into what would be a "pure virtual function" in C++: always raise

+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py (GenQuantiles0): Removed since it's
+         only used in GREAT-ER but not used in Thuban itself. When GREAT-ER

+         * NEWS: New. Summary of changes and release notes.
+         * MANIFEST.in: Add NEWS

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

+         not really unittest.

+         New classes to test loading of sessions with postgis database
+         connections.

+         Id: cvs keywords as used in the other files.
+-08-25  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.check_attrs): Raise a
+         LoadError when a required attribute is missing. The code used to
+         be commented out for some reason, but probably should have been
+         active.
+         * test/test_load.py (TestLoadError.test): Test the message in the
+         LoadError too to make sure it really is about the missing
+         attribute

+         Thuban/UI/join.py, Thuban/UI/classgen.py, Thuban/UI/about.py,
+         Thuban/Model/resource.py: Insert cvs keywords and doc-strings.
+         * Thuban/UI/common.py: Insert cvs keywords and doc-strings.
+         (Color2wxColour, wxColour2Color, ThubanBeginBusyCursor)
+         (ThubanEndBusyCursor): Add doc-strings
+-08-01  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         First step towards PostGIS integration. More abstraction by movin
+         more code from the layer to the shapestore. More methods of the
+         layer are now simply delegated to the equivalent method of the
+         shapestore. The SHAPETYPE_* constants are now in data not in
+         layer.
+         * Thuban/Model/data.py (SHAPETYPE_POLYGON, SHAPETYPE_ARC)
+         (SHAPETYPE_POINT, Shape): Move these constants and classes from
+         layer.py to data.py
+         (ShapefileStore.__init__): More Initialization for the new methods
+         and functionality.
+         (ShapefileStore.ShapeType, ShapefileStore.NumShapes)
+         (ShapefileStore.BoundingBox, ShapefileStore.ShapesInRegion)
+         (ShapefileStore.Shape): New methods that were formerly implemented
+         in the layer.
+         (DerivedShapeStore.Shape, DerivedShapeStore.ShapesInRegion)
+         (DerivedShapeStore.ShapeType, DerivedShapeStore.NumShapes)
+         (DerivedShapeStore.BoundingBox): New. DerivedShapeStore
+         equivalents of the new shape methods. These versions are simply
+         delegated to the original shapstore.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (SHAPETYPE_POLYGON, SHAPETYPE_ARC)
+         (SHAPETYPE_POINT, Shape): Removed. They're now in data.py
+         (Layer.SetShapeStore): Removed the initializatin of instance
+         variables that were needed for the stuff that's now in
+         ShapefileStore
+         (Layer.BoundingBox, Layer.NumShapes, Layer.ShapeType)
+         (Layer.Shape, Layer.ShapesInRegion): Simply delegate to the
+         shapestore.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py, Thuban/UI/renderer.py,
+         Thuban/UI/viewport.py: Import the SHAPETYPE_* constants from data
+         instead of layer.
+         * test/test_shapefilestore.py: New. Tests for ShapefileStore.
+         * test/test_derivedshapestore.py: New. Tests for DerivedShapeStore.
+         * test/test_layer.py: Import the SHAPETYPE_* constants from data
+         instead of layer.
+         (TestLayer.test_derived_store): Remove the test for the exception
+         when instantiating the DerivedShapeStore with an incompatible
+         table which is now in test_derivedshapestore.py. Add some more
+         tests of the layer methods to determine whether they work for a
+         DerivedShapeStore as well.
+-07-31  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual.xml: Fix the list of required packages
+         by just listing the name and where they can be found.
+-07-31  Frank Koormann   <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual.xml:
+         Changed the screenshot elements to figure.
+         Changed some variablelist elements to itemizedlist.
+         Added section on GDAL formats.
+-07-31  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual.xml: Added a few sentences about
+         the Fix Border Color option when generating classes.
+-07-30  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py: Add docstrings. Rename specific
+         Ramp instances to use lower_case_style.
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py: Use renamed Ramp instances.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Add docstrings.
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py: Add docstrings.
+         * test/test_classgen.py: Use renamed Ramp instances.
+-07-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Lib/connector.py (QueueingPublisher): Removed. This class
+         was never used in Thuban.
+-07-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/join.py (JoinDialog.__init__): Use the table's Title()
+         method directly instead of going through the transient_table
+         method. This faster because transient_table may force the copy of
+         a DBF file into the transient database and setting a table's title
+         doesnm't affect the title of the associated transient table, so
+         this fixes RT #2042
+         * Thuban/UI/main.py (__version__): Don't import the already
+         removed show_exception_dialog.
+-07-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.ShowExceptionDialog):
+         Put back this method and remove the equivalent function since we
+         are setting the exception hook from within this class (OnInit).

+-07-29  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

+         deprecated since before the 0.8 release and isn't used in Thuban
+         itself anymore.
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py: Remove some unnecessary imports
+-07-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnInit): set the
+         python exception hook here so that we are sure to catch any
+         Thuban exception that happen during initialization.
+         * Thuban/UI/main.py (main): Don't set the exception hook here,
+         it will get set in ThubanApplication.OnInit.
+-07-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.ShowExceptionDialog):
+         Removed and called it show_exception_dialog() so that the exception
+         handler can be set before the class is created.
+         * Thuban/UI/main.py (main): Install the exception handler before
+         a ThubanApplication is created.

+-07-24  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/range.py, Thuban/version.py: Remove the #! line as
+         it annoys lintian which warns about these files not being
+         executable. The #! isn't necessary here since if you absolutely
+         must execute them you can always say "python <filename>".

+         superfluous code to set brush and pen for point shapes
