+-06-28 Didrik Pinte <[email protected]>
+         * packaging/windows/thubanstart.py: sample file loading all the stable
+         extensions
+-06-28 Didrik Pinte <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/version.py: Bugfix determination of SQLite on old and recent
+         systems (support pysqlite1 and pysqlite2)
+-06-27 Frank Koormann <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/version.py: Bugfix determination of SQLite on old systems.
+-05-17 Didrik Pinte <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/ogr/__init__.py : updated test for win32 and correct
+         imports
+-05-15 Didrik Pinte <[email protected]>
+         Ashamed ... still some tabs in the files
+   * Thuban/version.py : tabs removed
+   * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py : tabs removed
+-05-15 Didrik Pinte <[email protected]>
+   * Thuban/version.py : coding style correction
+   * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py : coding style correction
+-05-15 Didrik Pinte <[email protected]>
+   * Thuban/version.py : Updated imports to support pysqlite2
+   * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py : Updated imports to support pysqlite2
+         Patched the querying system to support the param style of pysqlite2
+-04-24 Didrik Pinte <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/svgexport/__init__.py: The extension now works on win32
+         architecture. Bug #87 corrected.
+-04-20 Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/technotes/coding_guidelines.txt: Changed text from CVS to SVN.
+         Removed emacs specific hint and replaced it with a general hint
+         that editors might support writing changelogs.
+-04-12 Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/version.py: Changed thuban_release mechanism to use "svn"
+         instead of "cvs".
+-03-31  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp: including proj_api.h instead of
+         projects.h now. According the Frank Warmerdam and man pj_init
+         this is the public interface to proj. Thus I have changed PJ to projPJ.
+         And I could remove the hack to avoid clashes with typedef PVALUE
+         and #define LP in projects.h clashing with symbols when trying to
+         build on windows. The file is cleaner and nicer now.
+-03-29  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp: undef LP to avoid clash when
+         trying to build with mingw.

+         Added display of internal encoding to the about dialog text.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/__init__.py: changed version to "1.0.0+cvs".
+-10-18  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         Startup improved: We fail right away if the internal encoding could
+         not be determined.
+         * Thuban/__init__.py (get_internal_encoding): new.
+         * test/test_stringrepresentation.py (class TestInternalEncoding):
+         Preserve the internal encoding for the tests in this class.
+-10-17  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_stringrepresentation.py: New file, for now testing
+         that set_internal_coding() is throwing an exception for bad exceptions.
+         * Thuban/__init__.py (set_internal_encoding): added a forwards
+         and backward translation, so that we fail early if the
+         internal_encoding is bad.
+-10-17  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         svgexport 1.0.0cvs: Fixed ARC layer writing: No filling is done.
+         You could actually get polylines with filling in between,
+         when the classification for the lines had a fill color.
+         E.g. this happens when you generate a classification from a ramp.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/test/test_svgmapwriter.py:
+         New test_export_arc_no_fill(). Extend copyright notice to 2005.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/svgmapwriter.py
+         (SVGRenderer.draw_shape_layer_incrementally()):
+         Setting TRANSPARENT_BRUSH for shaptype ARC.
+         Extend copyright notice to 2005.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/__init__.py: Extend copyright notice to 2005.

+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual.xml (Map Management): Fixed typo reported
+         by Erik (sigra.at.home.se)
+-08-18  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (ScreenRenderer.draw_selection_incrementally):
+         Call the right method for the default size.
+-08-11  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/export_shapefile: New.
+         * Extensions/export_shapefile/__init__.py: New. Initialize
+         the export_shapefile extension.
+         * Extensions/export_shapefile/export_shapefile.py: New.
+         Exports a layer as a Shapefile.
+-08-08  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * po/de.po: String fixes. This fixes Debian bug #313843.
+-07-27  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Remove the attributes from the layer element in
+         .thuban files for the save routine.
+         This also solves RT bug #3149,
+         https://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=3149
+         * test/test_load.py: (TestSingleLayer, TestNonAsciiColumnName,
+         TestLayerVisibility, TestSymbolSize, TestClassification, TestLabels,
+         TestLayerProjection, TestJoinedTable, TestLabelLayer): Removed
+         attributes from layer element to classification clnull element.
+         * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest.testSingleLayer,
+         SaveSessionTest.testLayerProjection,
+         SaveSessionTest.testClassifiedLayer,
+         SaveSessionTest.test_joined_table, SaveSessionTest.test_save_postgis):
+         Removed attributes from layer element to classification clnull element.
+         (test_save_postgis.NonConnectionStore._fetch_table_information):
+         added pretending to have a shape_type.
+         * Resources/XML/thuban-1.1.dtd: Make the attributes field
+         and field_type of classification optional.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (Classification.TreeItem.build_info):
+         Added output of size.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_classification):
+         Change attribute 'field' and 'field_type' from obligatory to
+         optional to allow empty classes (ie.  only with a default=clnull).
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_layer): Don't write
+         any attributes anymore for the layer element.
+         (SessionSaver.write_classification): Even if there is no
+         classification field, still write the classification because
+         the clnull (default) symbol will not be defined anymore as
+         part of the layer element.
+-07-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py (setup call): Version 1.1.0
+         * NEWS: Update for 1.1.0
+         * MANIFEST.in: Add *.txt to files taken from Doc.  Otherwise the
+         technores won't be included
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py (About.__init__): Extend copyright notice to
+         * po/de.po: Updated.
+-07-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * README: gdal 1.1.8 is too old.  1.2.5 works.
+-07-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Resources/XML/thuban-1.1.dtd (rasterlayer): Add the opacity and
+         masktype attributes.
+-07-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.__mangle_bounding_box)
+         (Layer.ClipBoundingBox): Rename ClipBoundingBox to
+         __mangle_bounding_box.  See the comments in the code and RT #2845
+         * test/test_layer.py (TestLayer.test_arc_layer_with_projection):
+         Remove the explicit test of ClipBoundingBox.  The method isn't
+         public anymore and the direct call in the test wasn't necessary in
+         the first place.  If ClipBoundingBox (now __mangle_bounding_box)
+         isn't called, the return value of ShapesInRegion will be
+         different.
+-07-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/viewport.py (ViewPort.set_view_transform): Handle
+         ZeroDivisionError exceptions.  I don't know when they happen
+         exactly.  It probably happens when the projections aren't set
+         properly.
+-07-01  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         First step towards unicode.  With this roughly we're at step 1
+         string_representation.txt
+         * Doc/technotes/string_representation.txt: New.  Document how
+         strings are represented in Thuban and how to get to a Unicode
+         Thuban.
+         * Thuban/__init__.py (set_internal_encoding)
+         (unicode_from_internal, internal_from_unicode): New. The first few
+         functions for the internal string representation
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py (unicodeToLocale): Removed.  Use
+         internal_from_unicode instead.
+         * Thuban/UI/__init__.py (install_wx_translation): Determine the
+         encoding to use for the internal string representation.  Also,
+         change the translation function to return strings in internal
+         representation even on unicode builds of wxPython
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.check_attrs): Decode
+         filenames too.
+         (SessionLoader.start_clrange): Use check_attrs to decode and check
+         the attributes.
+         * Thuban/Model/xmlreader.py (XMLReader.encode): Use
+         internal_from_unicode to convert unicode strings.
+         * Thuban/Model/xmlwriter.py (XMLWriter.encode): Use
+         unicode_from_internal when applicable
+         * test/runtests.py (main): New command line option:
+         internal-encoding to specify the internal string encoding to use
+         in the tests.
+         * test/support.py (initthuban): Set the internal encoding to
+         latin-1
+         * test/test_load.py (TestSingleLayer.test, TestClassification.test)
+         (TestLabelLayer.test): Use the internal string representation when
+         dealing with non-ascii characters
+         * test/test_load_1_0.py (TestSingleLayer.test)
+         (TestClassification.test, TestLabelLayer.test): Use the internal
+         string representation when dealing with non-ascii characters
+         * test/test_load_0_9.py (TestSingleLayer.test)
+         (TestClassification.test): Use the internal string representation
+         when dealing with non-ascii characters
+         * test/test_load_0_8.py (TestUnicodeStrings.test): Use the
+         internal string representation when dealing with non-ascii
+         characters
+         * test/test_save.py (XMLWriterTest.testEncode)
+         (SaveSessionTest.testClassifiedLayer): Use the internal string
+         representation when dealing with non-ascii characters where
+         applicable
+-06-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/runtests.py: Untabify.
+-06-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

+-06-28  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/importAPR/apr.py (APR_BShSym): Extend by 'Stripple'.
+         (APR_TClr.GetThubanColor): Fix bug in color interpretation.
+         Thanks to Frank Koormann who identified this problem.
+         * Extensions/importAPR/importAPR.py (APR_VShSym): New. Just
+         another symbol identified.
+-06-27  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual-de.xml: More translations.
+-05-12  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py: Add missing import, which led to an
+         exception when opening a layer's projection.
+-05-09  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/support.py (FileLoadTestCase.filename): Fix doc-string.
+-05-09  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

+         that attempts to reproduce RT#3148.
+-05-06  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         Add support for saving and loading the opacity and mask type
+         properties of RasterLayers. Also add support for proper use
+         of alpha information while drawing images not in 'RAW' format.
+         If transparency in an image format (e.g, PNG) is supported by
+         wxWidgets then the image would previously have been draw with
+         transparent regions, but the opaque regions would have been
+         unaffected by a change in the layer's opacity. This patch
+         corrects the problem.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (RasterLayer): Added opacity and
+         masktype parameters to the constructor, and set the
+         appropriate variables to those values.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_rasterlayer): Added
+         code to read the opacity and mask type of the layer and construct
+         a new layer with the additional parameters.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_layer): Added code
+         to save the opacity and mask type of a layer.
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_layer): Pass
+         the opacity of the layer to draw_raster_data rather than the layer.
+         (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_data): Remove the layer parameter because
+         the function doesn't need to know about the layer. Add the optional
+         opacity parameter whose default is 1.0. Add 'PNG' as a supported
+         graphics format.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_raster_data): Fixed
+         signature to match that in BaseRenderer. Use the new opacity argument
+         in place of calling layer.Opacity(). In the case where the
+         format is not 'RAW', alpha_data is None and the loaded image has
+         alpha information, use the file's alpha information. This is
+         still subject to the layer's opacity setting.
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (SimpleRenderer.draw_raster_data):
+         Fixed signature to match that in BaseRenderer.
+         * test/test_load.py (TestRasterLayer): Change file_contents to
+         include opacity and masktype variables.
+         (TestRasterLayer.test): Include tests for opacity and masktype
+         changes.
+         * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest.testRasterLayer): Restructure
+         test to cover a variety of combinations of masktype and opacity
+         settings.
+-05-02  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * debian/rules: add --use-wx-python-swig-hack
+         to the build command.
+         Thanks to Moritz Lennert for pointing this out.
+-04-28  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Introduce OGRFileShapeStore in ogr extension.
+         This allows at least that loaded shapefile shape stores
+         can be saved correctly in the thuban session file
+         and reloaded again (reload is via core shapefile
+         routine, not OGR). For other types, .thuban files
+         can not be reloaded for the time being.
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrshapes.py (OGRFileShapeStore): New. This
+         class ist to be used for any file-based shape stores
+         accessed through OGR.
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrstart.py (open_with_ogr): Added
+         forgotten _ for i18n. Adapted call OpenFileShapestore
+         regarding new parameter.
+         (OpenFileShapestore): Use OGRFileShapeStore instead of
+         OGRShapeStore. Fix return value (None instead of null).
+         Add new parameter "mainwindow" to avoid accessing global
+         context.
+-04-27  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Introduce FileShapeStore as generalization for
+         file-based shape stores. In a first instance
+         this allows additional modules to handle shapefile
+         format as well, namely the OGR extension.
+         * Thuban/Model/data.py: Various small fixes in doc-strings.
+         (FileShapeStore): New class.
+         (ShapefileStore): Derive from FileShapeStore.
+         (ShapefileStore.__init__): Call __init__ of FileShapeStore,
+         rename self.table to self._table, initialize self._bbox
+         (ShapefileStore._open_shapefile): Use self._bbox instead of self.bbox
+         and self.FileName() instead of self.filename.
+         (ShapefileStore.Table): Use self._table instead of self.table.
+         (ShapefileStore.FileName): Removed (moved to FileShapeStore).
+         (ShapefileStore.BoundingBox):  Use self._bbox instead of self.bbox.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py: Replace ShapefileStore by FileShapeStore.
+         (SessionSaver.write_data_containers): Only use methods of the
+         base class FileShapeStore.
+-04-26  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/wms.py (render_wms_layer): Adjusted the render
+         function to the modified render engine
+-04-25  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.projected_raster_layer):
+         Added a description according to the CVS log message
+-04-23  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py: Added a missing import
+-04-23  Russell Nelson  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.OnMiddle{Up,Down}): Changed the
+         way the previous tool is remembered, so that middle-button
+         panning works even if you haven't selected a tool.
+-04-11  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp: Move the compatibility code that
+         deals with the wxPython 2.4 version of wxPython.h into the #ifdef
+         branch that includes wxPython.h because it's only needed when
+         wxPython.h is used.  Also, it won't compile when
+         USE_WX_PYTHON_SWIG_HACK is set otherwise.
+-04-07  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (ClassGrid.__init__): Use -1 as the ID.
+         (ID_CLASS_TABLE): Removed. It wasn't used anywhere except in
+         ClassGrid.__init__ and it's value is outside of the valid
+         range (must be < 32768).  wxPython 2.5 complains about it with an
+         exception.
+-04-05  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual-de.xml: More translations.
+-04-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp: Make it work with a wxPython.h from
+         wxPython 2.4 as well.  Also, remove a now obsolete comment.
+-04-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Use wxPython.h by default but provide a workaround when it isn't
+         available.
+         * setup.py (wxproj_extension): New variable.  Assign the Extension
+         instance for Lib.wxproj to this variable instead of putting it
+         directly into the listso that it can be accessed by other code
+         later.
+         (thuban_build_ext.user_options): Added boolean option
+         --use-wx-python-swig-hack.
+         (thuban_build_ext.initialize_options): Initialize the new option
+         to False.
+         (thuban_build_ext.finalize_options): If the new option was given,
+         define the preprocesser macro USE_WX_PYTHON_SWIG_HACK.
+         (thuban_build_ext): Update the doc-string
+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp: Normally we use
+         wx/wxPython/wxPython.h now.  Only if USE_WX_PYTHON_SWIG_HACK is
+         defined, use swigPtrConvertHack.h instead.
+         * libraries/thuban/swigPtrConvertHack.h: Remove the code that was
+         copied over from wxPython.h.
+         (decode_pointer_new): New.  Equivalent of decode_pointer for
+         wxPython 2.5.
+         (wxPyConvertSwigPtr): Modified to cope with wxPython 2.5 as well.
+         * README: Add section on potential build problems which explains
+         how the work-around for a missing wxPython.h is activated.
+-03-29  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/postgissupport.py (find_postgis_sql): Added yet another
+         potential location for (lw)postgis.sql because the file has moved
+         again in postgis 1.0.0 rc4.
+-03-29  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (BMP_SIZE_W, BMP_SIZE_H): Set both to 16 to
+         match the site of the legend_icon_layer icon.  Otherwise wxpython
+.5 complains when the legend is created with the error:
+         PyAssertionError: C++ assertion "(bitmap.GetWidth() == m_width &&
+         bitmap.GetHeight() == m_height) || (m_width == 0 && m_height ==
+)" failed in ./src/generic/imaglist.cpp(81): invalid bitmap size
+         in wxImageList: this might work on this platform but definitely
+         won't under Windows.
+-03-23  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         These changes add support for adjusting the opacity of a raster layer.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (RasterLayer.Opacity): Replaces AlphaOpacity.
+         (RasterLayer.SetOpacity): Replaces SetAlphaOpacity. Also triggers
+         a LAYER_CHANGED event if the opacity actually changes.
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_data): Added
+         layer parameter needed in the implementation of this method in
+         renderer.py.
+         * Thuban/UI/layerproperties.py (LayerProperties.dialog_layout): Fixed
+         typo 00 -> 0.
+         * Thuban/UI/rasterlayerproperties.py (RasterLayerProperties): Added
+         control to adjust opacity.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_raster_data): Scale the
+         alpha data based on the opacity level of the layer.
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (SimpleRenderer.draw_raster_data): Now
+         accepts a layer parameter.
+         * test/test_layer.py (TestLayerModification.test_raster_layer):
+         Rename opacity method calls and add test for LAYER_CHANGED.
+-03-16  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_connector.py (DeletionTestMixin.check_deletions)
+         (DeletionTestMixin.check_deletetions): renamed to check_deletions.
+         update the callers.
+-03-14  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual-de.xml: More translations.
+-03-10  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Introducing initialization callbacks for extensions.
+         * Thuban/UI/extensionregistry.py (ExtensionDesc.__init__): Added
+         optional parameter init_callback.
+         (ExtensionDesc.init_ext): New. Executes the callback and sets
+         a status.
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnInit): Add the
+         initialization of the extensions.
+         (ThubanApplication.init_extensions): Init all extensions.
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py (About.__init__): Added status of the extensions
+         to the about text.
+         * Extensions/gns2shp/__init__.py: Added init method for Extension
+         description.
+         (init): New. Contains the initialization of the module.
+-03-04  Nina H�ffmeyer <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrdialog.py: Added a dialog, which asks for
+         OGRConnection to open a datasource. Removed dialog to display all
+         available drivers. Added some doc strings.
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrstart.py: Added menu entry for opening an
+         OGRDatasource with a string. Added two opening methods which return an
+         OGRDatasource (either data from file or from DB).
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrshapes.py: Added class OGRGeometry, which
+         represents a geometry reference of an OGRFeature. OGRShape now has a
+         list of referenced geometry objects (important for geometry
+         collections).
+         For OGRShapeStores loaded from a DB an ID column can be specified now.
+-02-22  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_map.py (TestMapWithContents.test_tree_info):
+         Added label layer for comparison.
+-02-18  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp (GetImageData): Optimize the loop
+         which builds a mask. Handle the majority of an image in a loop,
+         creating 8 bits at a time. Later, handle the edge case where less
+         than 8 bits are packed.
+-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)

+         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):

+-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().

+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_raster_data): The mask
+         data is in XBM format when format='RAW' which means it doesn't

+         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.

+-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

+         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.

+         update.
+         (MainWindow.view_position_changed)
+         (MainWindow.update_status_bar): Rename from view_position_changed

+         (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

+         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.

+         BugFix 2901: Explicitly copy layers ClassificationColumn since it
+         is not part of the layers Classification.
+-01-03  Frank Koormann <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (ScreenRendererdraw_selection_incrementally):
+         BugFix 2883: Former implementation only worked on classified point
+         layers: KeyError was raised, now use the default size if field is None.
+-12-27  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         svgexport 1.0.0cvs: Fixed label export.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/test/test_svgmapwriter.py:
+         class TestSVGRenderer(): New class; new test test_label_font().
+         * Extensions/svgexport/svgmapwriter.py
+         (SVGRenderer.label_font()): initialised Font size with self.factor now,
+         makes test_label_font happy.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/TODO: crossed out fixed label export item.
+         Added item for options.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/__init__.py: Bumped version to 1.0.0cvs.

+-12-20  Nina Hueffmeyer <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrshapes.py: Fixed some issues from
+         Bernhard (coding guidelines etc.). Additionally it is now possible to
+         display shapefiles containing feature collections (e.g.polygons
+         with holes). Works with gdal 1.2.1 now.
+         * Extensions/ogr/test/test_OGRShapestore.py: Fixed some issues
+         from Bernhard (coding guidelines etc.). If ogr can't be imported,
+         tests are skipped now.

+         All using DrawPolygonPath() now, the default parameter closed=True
+         omitted.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/test/test_svgmapwriter.py:
+         renamed test_polygon_opened() to test_polyline()
+         renamed test_transparent_polygon() to test_transparent_polyline()
+-12-18  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Some fixes of gns2shp extension.
+         * Extensions/gns2shp/test/__init__.py: New. Make this directory a
+         package.
+         * Extensions/gns2shp/test/test_gns2shp.py: Add some import paths

+         (DrawLines): Using DrawPath now.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/test/test_svgmapwriter.py:
+         Replaced DrawPolygon() calls with DrawPath() and put the first argument

+-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
+         (wkt_converter): Add coords_to_linestring
+         (upload_shapefile): Rephrase the doc-string a bit.
+         * test/test_postgis_db.py (TestPostGISShapestoreArc)
+         (LineStringTests)
+         (TestPostGISShapestoreLineString)
+         (TestPostGISShapestoreMultiLineString): Split
+         TestPostGISShapestoreArc into a base class LineStringTests and two
+         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

+         server software.
+         (PostgreSQLServer.require_authentication): The format of
+         pg_hba.conf has changed between PostgrSQL 7.2 and 7.3.  Check the
+         server version and generate the file in the correct format
+-12-15  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/postgissupport.py (PostgreSQLServer.is_running): Fix typo
+         in the doc string and rephrase it a little.
+-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]>
+         * test/test_load.py (TestAltPath.test_01_single_path_error_fix)

+         (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)"
+         formerly used in start_fileshapesource()/start_layer().
+         (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.
+         (draw_shape_layer_incrementally): Moved draw_func log line higher.
+         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:
+         Adapted tests to new whitespace handling of DrawPolygon.
+-12-11  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/technotes/coding_guidelines.txt: easy typo fixed.
+         * 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
+         support for get_srs_discrepancies() since there are no
+         discrepancies anymore (was a thinko)
+         * 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
+         because it is not available in all versions of ogr
+-12-08  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/ogr/__init__.py: Added empty __init__.py to heal
+         global tests until a real one is commited.

+         executed.
+-12-07  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/svgexport/test/test_svgmapwriter.py:
+         Added test_drawbezier() to test DrawSpline().

+         Really implemented bezier drawing.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/__init__.py: Bumped version of svgexport
+         to 0.9.1 because now the legend examples lines styles
+         will be drawing with beziers.
+-12-05  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (raster_format_map): Added PNG, TIFF and
+         GIF as supported bitmap image formats (helpful for the WMS extension)
+-11-30  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/test/test_ogclib.py (TestOGCLib.test_compareURLs):
+         Improved the test for the internal compare method

+         Added a dialog to handle layer informations. The dialog only shows the
+         selected layer at the moment.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_import.py(import_mapfile): Changed the
+         code for setting the extent in thuban. Now the extent is set to the
+         given extent from the mapfile.
+         Fixed a logical mistake. Now the extent is set when realy a layer is
+         loaded, and not if one is selected to load.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/sample/iceland.html: Added code to zoom and
+         move the shown map in the browser.

+         beginning of an generated mapfile.
+         (export_mapfile): Now the Path and filename are saved in to variables,
+         and not together in one variable. This is needed for the new
+         write_creatorcomment function.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_import.py (import_mapfile): Added the
+         import module "re". Also added Range and the ClassGroupRange import
+         from Thuban. Both are needed for the new range expression import.
+         (create_rangeexpression): Added. Creates a Range Expression in Thuban
+         style from a given mapfile expression.
+         (added_rasterlayer): Make some small code changes. The shapepath is
+         now stored in an extra variable and the clazz_name is set empty if no
+         class name set in the mapfile.
+         Changed the Error message for Range Expressions, becaus the new
+         function create a error string which will be shown in the dialog.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/test/test_mapserver.py: Added a test for the
+         range expression import.

+-07-16  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_viewport.py
+         (ViewPortTest.test_changing_map_projection): Check that changing
+         the projection of an empty map shown in a viewport doesn't lead to
+         exceptions in the viewport's handler for the
+         MAP_PROJECTION_CHANGED messages
+         * Thuban/UI/viewport.py (ViewPort.map_projection_changed): Only
+         try to keep the same region visible when the map actually contains
+         something
+-07-15  Jan Sch�ngel <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mapfile.py: Added a function to get the
+         mappath directly from the mapobj. Is needed because of the changes
+         in mf_import.py.
+         (MF_Layer.add_thubanclass): Added a new comment.
+         (MF_Map.set_extent): Fixed a bug with exporting empty mapobj. If the
+         mapobj is empty there is no extent get from thuban an so no one can
+         set to th mapobj.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_import.py (import_mapfile): Updated
+         the discription.
+         Split the funktion in to three smaller ones. The new functions are

+         the expression value from thuban if no label is defined.
+         Added the code to export Range expressions from thuban to the mapfile.
+         (MF_Map.set_extent): Removed the exception and replace it by some if
+         code. If the size of a map is not defined the size will be set to 1,1.
+         This is necessary because if the extent is set, mapscript checks if
+         the size is greater than zero.
+         (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.

+         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

+         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

+         shapelib CVS.
+         * libraries/shapelib/shapefil.h: Update to version from current
+         shapelib CVS.

+         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

+         * 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.

+         * 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
+         * test/postgissupport.py (PostgreSQLServer.new_postgis_db)
+         (PostgreSQLServer.get_static_data_db, PostGISDatabase.__init__):
+         New parameter to specify views.
+         (PostGISDatabase.has_data): Also compare the views.  New views
+         parameter
+         (PostGISDatabase.initdb): Create the views.
+         (PostgreSQLServer.get_default_static_data_db): Add the v_landmarks
+         view
+         * test/test_postgis_db.py
+         (TestPostGISShapestorePointFromViews): New.  Test a
+         PostGISShapeStore with a view
+         (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
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write): Use the new dtd
+         (SessionSaver.write_session): Use the new namespace
+         (SessionSaver.write_data_containers): Write the new dbshapesource
+         parameters
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.__init__): New namespace for
+         the new file format version
+         (SessionLoader.start_dbshapesource): Handle the new db parameters
+         * test/test_save.py: Update to the new dtd and namespace
+         (SaveSessionTest.test_save_postgis): Update the NonConnectionStore
+         mock object to provide a working IDColumn method.
+         * test/test_load_1_0.py: New.  Copy of the test_load.py before
+         today's changes but with the round-trip tests removed.
+         * test/test_load_0_9.py: Update doc-string.
+         * test/test_load.py: Update all .thuban files to the new dtd and
+         namespace.
+         (TestPostGISLayer.file_contents): Add the new dbshapesource
+         paramters
+-03-11  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Next step for explicit id/geometry columns: User interaction
+         * Thuban/UI/dbdialog.py (ChooseDBTableDialog.__init__): Rework how
+         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
+         parameters for id_column and geometry column of PostGISShapeStore
+         here as well.
+         * Thuban/Model/postgisdb.py (type_map): Add ROWID psycog type.
+         (_raw_type_map): New. Map raw PostgreSQL type ints to thuban types
+         (PostGISConnection.GeometryTables): Use a better query to
+         determine which relations in the database might be usable for
+         shapestores.  Now supports views as well but is more PostgreSQL
+         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):
+         New. tests for the new methods.
+         (TestPostGISShapestorePoint.setUp)
+         (TestPostGISShapestorePointSRID.setUp)
+         (TestPostGISShapestorePointExplicitGIDColumn.setUp): Fill the
+         instance variables needed by the new tests
+-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]>
+         Elimiate the requirement for PostGIS tables to have a column
+         called "gid".
+         * Thuban/Model/postgisdb.py (PostGISTable.__init__): New parameter
+         id_column to specify which column to use to identify rows.  Also
+         new instance variables id_column and quoted_id_column
+         (PostGISTable.RowIdToOrdinal, PostGISTable.RowOrdinalToId)
+         (PostGISTable.ReadRowAsDict, PostGISTable.ReadValue)
+         (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)
+         (PostGISShapeStore.ShapesInRegion): Use the id column name
+         provided to the constructor instead of "gid"
+         * test/postgissupport.py
+         (PostgreSQLServer.get_default_static_data_db): New static table
+         landmarks_point_id with an id column != "gid.  Update the comments
+         a bit.
+         (skip_if_addgeometrycolumn_does_not_use_quote_ident): Fix typo in
+         doc-
+         (upload_shapefile): New parameter gid_column to use a name other
+         than "gid" for the column to store the shape ids
+         * test/test_postgis_db.py (TableTests): New.  Mixin-class
+         containing all tests previously in TestPostGISTable.  The actual
+         tests are the same but the code is a bit more configurable to
+         allow for different id columns etc.
+         (TestPostGISTable): Derive from TableTests now for the actual
+         tests.
+         (TestPostGISTableExplicitGIDColumn): New. Like TestPostGISTable

+         parameter
+         (PointTests): Extend the doc-string
+         (TestPostGISShapestorePointExplicitGIDColumn)
+         (TestPostGISShapestorePointOIDAsGIDColumn): New classes derived
+         from PointTests to test the explicit id_column parameter.  One
+         tests with the name of the column holding the shape ids, the other
+         uses PostgreSQL's OID column.  For the latter a number of methods
+         have to be overwritten to make them independent of the actual id
+         values.
+-03-08  Silke Reimer  <[email protected]>
+         Update debian directory:
+         * debian/changelog: Added new version.
+         * deiban/rules: Updated management of patches (with cbds)
+         * debian/control: Added cbds to dependencies
+         * debian/patches/*: New. Adds better support for patches of thuban in
+                         debian
+         * debian/menu: Syntax of menu changed slightly
+         * debian/setup.py.patch: removed because it has been moved to
+                         debian/patechs/setup.py.patch
+-02-26  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Create the Doc/technotes directory for text files with information
+         for developers
+         * Doc/technotes/README: New. README for the technotes
+         * Doc/technotes/coding_guidelines.txt: New. Coding guidelines for
+         Thuban
+         * Doc/technotes/release_process.txt: New. Used to be
+         HOWTO-Release.  Now slightly adapted to technote formatting style.
+         * HOWTO-Release: Removed.  It's contents are now in
+         Doc/technotes/release_process.txt
+-02-25  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp (get_wx_version): New.  Return the
+         version of wxWindows the module was compiled with so we can check
+         that against the wxPython version.
+         * Thuban/version.py (thuban_branch, thuban_release): New variables
+         controlling which and how Thuban versions are shown.  See the
+         comments for details.
+         (verify_versions): Also check that the wx version that wxproj is
+         compiled against matches that of the wxPython we use at runtime
+-02-20  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/wms.py (epsg_code_to_projection): Use
+         get_system_proj_file to read the epsg projections.  The old way
+         depended on the current directory being the top Thuban directory.
+-02-20  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/svgexport/test/test_svgmapwriter.py
+         (TestVirtualDC.test_clippath): Remove a debug print
+-02-20  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/svgexport/__init__.py: New.  Turn
+         Extensions/svgexport into a package.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/svgmapwriter.py: Reorder the imports and
+         doc-string a bit.  The doc-string must come first, otherwise it's
+         not a doc-string.  The __future__ import must be the first thing
+         after the doc-string.  Use only double quotes in doc-strings.
+         Single quotes trip up emacs syntax highlighting if the text
+         contains apostrophes.
+-02-20  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/svgexport/test/__init__.py,
+         Extensions/svgexport/test/test_svgmapwriter.py: New. Initial test
+         suite for svgexport
+         * test/runtests.py (find_test_modules): New. Function with the
+         module finding code from main.
+         (main): Use find_test_modules to figure out the default test
+         modules and take modules from Extensions.svgexport.test too.
+-02-19  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnInit): Make sure
+         the mainwindow has a reference to the map of the initial session.
+         This fixes a bug introduced with the fix for RT#2245
+-02-19  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * 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
+         up for some reason, and event handlers, especially EVT_UPDATE_UI
+         may want to access things from the application.
+         (ThubanApplication.maps_changed): The mainwindow may not have been

+         with slashes on all currently supported platforms so adapt all
+         tests to this
+         * 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

+         (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

+         editing is enabled use the grid ctrl which allows editing of the
+         values

+-11-19  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

+         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
+         parameters
+         * Thuban/UI/dbdialog.py (DBFrame.conns_changed): Fix doc-string

+         the ProjFile's messages and call the base class methods correctly

+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.__init__): Do not set the

+         (TestSingleLayer.test): Add non-ascii characters to the titles of

+         was only added there.
+         * test/test_load_0_9.py (TestSingleLayer.file_contents)

+         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
+         the events are hanlded by its anchestor, the legend panel. This
+         allows reuse of all the event handlers already implemented for the
+         legend toolbar buttons.

+         only used in GREAT-ER but not used in Thuban itself. When GREAT-ER
+         is ported to a newer the import will fail, so it should be noticed
+         immediately that this function is gone.
+         Fixes RT#1919
+-09-26  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Add a DTD for the projection files and make thuban write valid

+         'projectionlist' as the name in the document type declaration just
+         as it is done now in the files thuban would write

+         "Mercator"
+         (TestProjFile.doTestWrite): Validate the written and the expected
+         XML data
+         (TestProjFile): Derive from ValidationTest so that we can run xml
+         validation tests
+-09-24  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (ExportRenderer.render_legend): Do not
+         modify the list returned by map.Layers() in place since it is the
+         actual list of layers used by the map.

+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp (project_point): if there's an
+         inverse but no forward projection, convert to degrees after
+         applying the inverse projection. Fixes RT#2096
+         * test/test_wxproj.py: New. Test cases for wxproj.so. One test
+         implicitly tests for the fix to RT#2096
+         * test/support.py (FloatComparisonMixin.assertFloatSeqEqual):
+         Check that the sequences have the same lengths
+         * Resources/Projections/defaults.proj (Geographic projection): Use

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

+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.run_db_param_dialog): New.
+         Suitable as a db_connection_callback

+         (TestShapefileStore.test_raw_format): New test to test the raw
+         format feature of shapes.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py: Remove the unused import of Shape from

+         Rearrange the renderers a bit, partly in preparation for changes
+         required for the postgis merge, partly to make it more testable.
+         Also make the representation of coordinates in Shapes more
+         consistent.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer): Most of the code/methods in
+         this class is now in BaseRenderer. This class is now practically

+         to get the shapetype specific rendering functions.

+         error_on_redraw to guard agains endless loops and stack overflows
+         when there's a bug in the rendering code that raises exceptions.
+         (MapCanvas.OnIdle, MapCanvas._do_redraw): Split the actual
+         rendering into a separate method _do_redraw so that error handling
+         is a bit easier. When an exception occurs, set error_on_redraw to
+         true. When it's true on entry to OnIdle do nothing and return
+         immediately.
+         * Thuban/Model/data.py (ShapefileStore.Shape): For consistency, a
+         Shape object will always have the coordinates as a list of list of
+         coordinate pairs (tuples).
+         (Shape.compute_bbox): Adapt to new representation.
+         * Thuban/UI/viewport.py (ViewPort.find_shape_at)

+-08-06  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (UTMPanel._OnPropose): Added test for
+         a bounding box. A dialog is raised in case, no bounding box
+         is found. This fixes bug #2043:

+-08-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/color.py (Color.__repr__): Make the repr of a color

+-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

+         (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:

+         Added section on GDAL formats.
+-07-31  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

+         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):

+         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

+         * Thuban/UI/main.py (main): Install the exception handler before
+         a ThubanApplication is created.

+-07-18  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_classgen.py (TestFixedRamp.test): Extend test to check
+         the non-fixed values as well. The old test would have accepted a
+         fixed ramp that only returnes the fixed properties
+-07-17  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/mainwindow.png, Doc/manual/mainwindow.xcf: Screen
+         shots for the manual. The XCF file is the source image and

+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual.xml: Wrote an initial Introduction.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__BuildClassification):
+         Return both the new class and the field name.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.ToggleLegend): Don't
+         fit the map to the window as this changes any zoom level that
+         the user may have set.
+-07-16  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py (generate_singletons,
+         generate_uniform_distribution, generate_quantiles): Remove
+         fixes parameter, but maintain the same functionality by having
+         the calling function pass a FixedRamp object for the ramp.
+         (FixedRamp): New. Adapts a ramp to have fixed property values.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Use new CLASS_CHANGED message.
+         (Classification): Inherit from Publisher.
+         (Classification.__init__): Remove the layer parameter.
+         Classifications no longer need to have a parent layer.
+         (Classification.GetField, Classification.GetFieldType,
+         Classification.SetFieldInfo): Removed. The field name is stored
+         in the layer, and the type can be retreived by calling
+         Layer.GetFieldType().
+         (Classification._set_layer, Classification.GetLayer): Removed.
+         Classifications no longer have a parent layer.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.Destroy): Unsubscribe from the
+         classification.
+         (Layer.SetShapeStore): Reset the classification first while
+         we still have the old shape store to work with.
+         (Layer.GetClassificationField, Layer.SetClassificationField):
+         New. Method for getting/setting the field to classify on.
+         (Layer.SetClassification): Simplified now that the layer
+         simply has to hold a reference to the classification and not
+         tell the classification who owns it.
+         Fixes RTbug #2023.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_classification):
+         Set the field name on the layer, not the classification.
+         * Thuban/Model/messages.py: Add CLASS_CHANGED for when a
+         classification is modified.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_classification):
+         Get the field name and type from the layer.
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py (table_to_dbf, table_to_csv): Renamed
+         parameter records to rows and add docstring. Fixes RTbug #1997.
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (ClassGenDialog.OnOK): Use a fixed
+         ramp when we need to fix certain values of a ramp rather than
+         using the old fixes parameter. Fixes RTbug #2024.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (ClassGrid.CreateTable): Add fieldType
+         parameter.
+         (ClassTable.Reset): Add fieldType parameter and use it, rather
+         than asking the classification.
+         (Classifier.__init__): Remember the original class's field
+         and ask the layer for the field type, rather than the classification.
+         (Classifier.__SetGridTable): Retrieve the field and field type
+         for the table because they are not in the classification.
+         (Classifier._OnTry, Classifier._OnRevert): Set the classification
+         field on the layer in addition to the classification itself.

+         classification field from layer.
+         * Thuban/UI/viewport.py (ViewPort.find_shape_at): Get the

+         * test/test_classification.py
+         (TestClassification.test_classification): Remove tests for methods
+         that no longer exist.
+         * test/test_layer.py (SetShapeStoreTests.setUp): Classification
+         __init__ no longer has a field parameter, use SetClassificationField.
+         (SetShapeStoreTests.test_sanity): Use layer object to get class
+         field info.
+         * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest.testClassifiedLayer): Use
+         SetClassificationField on layer to set class field info.

+-07-16  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual.xml: Added authors and an initial
+         coarse structure.
+-07-15  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/support.py (FloatComparisonMixin): This is a mix-in class
+         and therefore should not be derived from any other class.
+         * test/test_range.py (RangeTest): FloatComparisonMixin is a
+         mix-in, so derive from TestCase as well.
+-07-15  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Rework the
+         draw_func handling a bit to remove one layer of indirection. This
+         makes the renderer about 10% faster in the non-classifying case
+         and the code a bit cleaner
+         (MapRenderer.draw_point_shape): Add the pen and brush parameters
+         and set them in the dc. Now the draw_point_shape method and
+         wxproj's draw_polygon_shape function have basically the same
+         signature so that both can be directly used as draw_func
+-07-15  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_classification): Encode
+         string values (in addition to the labels) as UTF 8

+         * test/test_load_0_8.py (TestUnicodeStrings): New, test load of
+         unicode strings from session file: session title, map title and
+         projection name.
+-07-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/viewport.py (Tool.MouseUp): Should have called
+         drag_stop, not drag_move when the mouse is released.
+-07-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         The most important part of this is the seperation of view.py into
+         two pieces. viewport.py now has a class called ViewPort which
+         contains all the non-wx parts of view.py and can therefore be
+         tested. view.py contains only the wx-specific parts and is fairly
+         simple.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py: Stripped out all non-wx functionality. Fixes
+         RTTbug #1992.
+         * Thuban/UI/viewport.py: New. Contains non-wx view functionality.
+         RTTbug #1992.
+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py (generate_singletons,
+         generate_uniform_distribution, generate_quantiles):
+         Added 'fixes' parameter so that property attributes can
+         be held constant over the generated classification groups.
+         (CustomRamp.GetProperties): Remove unused variables.
+         * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map.SetProjection): Send the old
+         projection as an argument to listeners of the MAP_PROJECTION_CHANGED
+         event.
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py (table_to_dbf, table_to_csv): Added 'records'
+         parameter which is a list of records that restricts which
+         records are saved. Fixes RTbug #1997.
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.ShowExceptionDialog):
+         Port exception dialog from GREAT-ER. Fixes RTbug #1993.
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (ClassGenDialog.__init__): Add controls
+         to allow the user to fix line color/width on generated groups.
+         (ClassGenDialog.OnOK): Use new 'fixes' parameter of the generate_*
+         functions to optionally fix group properties.
+         * Thuban/UI/main.py (main): Set exception hook to the
+         ShowExceptionDialog. Fixes RTbug #1993.

+         the table window when it is selectd to be shown.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (QueryTableFrame.__init__): Add an
+         Export Selection button and move the export buttons underneath
+         the table.
+         (QueryTableFrame.UpdateStatusText): Added event argument so
+         that it can respond to grid selection events. The status text
+         is now updated even when the table is not associated with a
+         layer as was previously assumed.
+         (QueryTableFrame.OnGridSelectRange, OnGridSelectCell): Removed.
+         UpdateStatusText responds to these events.
+         (QueryTableFrame.OnSaveAs): Renamed to doExport.
+         (QueryTableFrame.doExport): Helper function that saves the
+         entire table, or selected rows, to a file.
+         (QueryTableFrame.OnExport, QueryTableFrame.OnExportSel): New.
+         Respond to export button events and call doExport.
+         * extensions/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp (ProjectRasterFile): Make sure
+         the function doesn't return NULL without first setting a Python
+         Error.
+         * test/runtests.py (main): Only print "Unknown option" for

+         * test/test_session.py
+         (TestSessionWithContent.test_forward_map_projection):
+         MAP_PROJECTION_CHANGED events send the old projection.
+         * test/test_table.py (TableTest): Update tests to use non-deprecated
+         functions.
+-07-08  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (TransientTableBase.Width): The type
+         constants in the column objects are the standard ones defined in
+         the table module.
+         * test/test_transientdb.py
+         (TestTransientTable.test_transienttable_to_dbf): New. Test whether

+-07-08  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py (CustomRamp.GetProperties): Compute the

+-07-02  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py (generate_singletons,

+         * test/test_classgen.py (ClassGenTest.doClassRangeTest,

+-07-02  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py (generate_singletons,
+         generate_uniform_distribution, generate_quantiles,

+-07-02  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         Changed the singature of ClassGroupRange.__init__ and
+         ClassGroupRange.SetRange() so that the min/max values are
+         passed as a tuple. This makes a better calling scheme for
+         when a Range object is passed instead.
+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py: Fixed parameters to
+         ClassGroupRange constructor.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (ClassGroupRange.__init__):
+         Consolidate the min/max parameters into a single _range which
+         can either be a tuple or a Range object.
+         (ClassGroupRange.SetRange): Consolidate the min/max parameters
+         into a single _range which can either be a tuple or a Range object.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_clrange): Fix

+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.SetClassification): Switch

+         before calling _set_layer otherwise subscribers to a
+         LAYER_CHANGED event will not see any difference.
+         * test/test_classification.py: Fix tests of ClassGroupRange

+-07-01  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py: Fixes RTbug #1972, 1971.
+         Import used objects/class from color.
+         (generate_singletons): We don't
+         need the numGroups parameter anymore because we are using
+         the new ramps with GetProperties().
+         (generate_uniform_distribution): Use new ramp method
+         GetProperties().
+         (generate_quantiles, GenQuantiles0): Use new ramp method
+         GetProperties().
+         (CustomRamp.SetNumGroups): Removed. The ramps now map
+         a value from 0 to 1 to class properties so the number
+         of groups is not needed ahead of time.
+         (CustomRamp.next): Removed. CustomRamp does not support
+         interation anymore.
+         (CustomRamp.GetProperties): Returns a ClassGroupProperties
+         object based on the index value from 0 to 1 that is
+         passed to it.
+         (GreyRamp, RedRamp, GreenRamp, BlueRamp, GreenToRedRamp):

+         (HotToCold.next): Removed. See CustomRamp.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Fixes RTbug #1973, 1971.
+         (Classification.SetField, Classification.SetFieldType):
+         Replaced with SetFieldInfo.
+         (Classification.SetFieldInfo): New. Does a better job of
+         what SetField and SetFieldType used to do by combining
+         their function since they should really always be done
+         at the same time.
+         (Classification.SetLayer): Renamed to _set_layer.
+         (Classification._set_layer): Should only be called from
+         Layer's SetClassification. This does not cause a recursive
+         call as SetLayer did because we know that Layer knows about
+         the classification.
+         * Thuban/Model/color.py: Fixes RTbug #1971.
+         (_Transparent): Renamed from Transparent so it doesn't
+         conflict with the module variable.
+         (Transparent, Black): Renamed from Color.Transparent,
+         Color.Black so they are not class variables.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py: Fixes RTbug #1971, 1973.
+         (Layer.Destroy): We don't need to call SetClassification
+         anymore to clear out the back reference in the classifcation
+         to the layer. It's better to set it to None using _set_layer,
+         and we won't be creating another clas object too.
+         (Layer.SetClassification): Classification._set_layer is not
+         recursive so remove all the locking variables. Also clean
+         up the code so that it remains unchanged if something fails.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py: Fixes RTbug #1971.
+         (SessionLoader.start_classification): Call
+         Classification.SetFieldInfo().
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py: Removed import of Color which wasn't
+         being used.
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py: Fixes RTbug #1972.
+         (ClassGenDialog.__init__): Color ramps are now instances
+         already so we don't need to create any new objects.
+         (ClassGenDialog.OnOK): Check for numGroups is no longer
+         necessary because we never use it.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Fixes RTbug #1971.
+         (Classifier.__BuildClassification, Classifier.__SetGridTable):
+         Call Classification.SetFieldInfo() instead of SetFieldType.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py: Fixes RTbug #1971.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py: Fixes RTbug #1974, 1971.
+         (MapCanvas.__init__): Subscribe to the idle time event. Set
+         background color to white.
+         (MapCanvas.OnPaint): Set a flag indicating that we should
+         render the map during idle time. If we already have a bitmap
+         just draw it now.
+         (MapCanvas.OnIdle): New. Render the map only during idle time.
+         This also fixes a problem with the busy cursor under gtk.
+         * test/test_classgen.py (ClassGenTest.test_generate_singletons):
+         Fix calls to generate_singletons because the signature changed.
+         * test/test_classification.py: Fix color references and
+         change calls to Classification.[SetField|SetFieldType] to
+         SetFieldInfo.
+         * test/test_load.py: Fix color references.
+         * test/test_load_0_2.py: Fix color references.
+         * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest.testClassifiedLayer):

+         * Thuban/version.py (make_tuple): Takes a version string
+         and splits it into a tuple of at most three integers.
+         Used make_tuple() to make tuple versions of the version
+         numbers.
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py: Add Thuban email addresses.
+-06-30  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/version.py: SQLite/PySQLite version dependencies

+         * Thuban/UI/about.py: New. New About box that displays
+         library version information and credits.
+         * Thuban/version.py: Added new 'versions' dictionary which

+         when the module loads.
+         (verify_versions): Check all version numbers and returns
+         a list of errors.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__EnableButtons):
+         Reset the status of the buttons as the situation warrants,
+         but in a better more reliable way by not relying on the
+         current status to determine what needs to change.
+         * Thuban/UI/main.py (wxCHECK_VERSION): Removed. Not needed.

+-06-23  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * setup.cfg: Fix copyright dates
+-06-23  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * MANIFEST.in: Update with Resources/XML
+         * setup.py: Don't include Locale resources yet as we don't

+         for Windows. Update version to 0.8.0.
+         * Doc/thuban.dtd: Removed since it is now in Resources/XML.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Add blank line at the end because

+-06-23  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/common.py (ThubanBeginBusyCursor): Call wxSafeYield
+         to make sure that we don't create reentrant possibilities with
+         wxYield.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.OnPaint): Call wxBeginBusyCursor()
+         directly to avoid the wxSafeYield() call which generates an
+         OnPaint event causing infinite recursion. Don't try to catch
+         exception anymore. This was for before there were limits on map
+         scaling.
+-06-23  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Bug fix for RT #1961:
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_derivedshapesource):
+         Register DerivedShapestores with the session
+         * Thuban/Model/session.py (Session.Tables): Make sure each table
+         is only listed once.

+         Update file contents to match the one written out.
+-06-20  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/xmlsupport.py (SaxEventLister.startElementNS)
+         (SaxEventLister.endElementNS): Do not include the qname. Python
+.2.1 and 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 differ in this regard. In 2.2.1 qname it
+         is (presumably incorrectly) None, whereas it's a string with the
+         element name in the later versions.
+         * test/test_xmlsupport.py (TestEventList.test_even_list_simple)
+         (TestEventList.test_even_list_namespace): Update tests to reflect

+         (Layer): Override HasShapes and return true.
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py: Use Thuban[Begin|End]BusyCursor()
+         instead of a direct call to wx[Begin|End]CusyCursor().
+         (GenUniquePanel._OnRetrieve): Set busy cursor while retrieving
+         table data.
+         * Thuban/UI/common.py (ThubanBeginBusyCursor, ThubanEndBusyCursor):
+         New. Wrappers around the wxWindows functions that allow us to
+         make additional calls such as wxYield which gives the native
+         system a chance to update the cursor correctly.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py: Use Thuban[Begin|End]BusyCursor()
+         instead of a direct call to wx[Begin|End]CusyCursor().
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py: Use Thuban[Begin|End]BusyCursor()
+         instead of a direct call to wx[Begin|End]CusyCursor().
+         (MapCanvas.find_shape_at): Check if the current search layer
+         support shapes, otherwise go on to the next layer.
+         * test/test_layer.py: Add tests in each type of layer for
+         HasClassification() and HasShapes()
+-06-20  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.OnPaint): Call wxYield after
+         turning on the busy cursor to allow the system to change the
+         cursor before we begin painting. This fixes a problem that
+         was occuring only under GTK. Fixes RTbug #1840.
+-06-20  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Resources/XML/thuban-0.8.dtd: New DTD for the new file format
+         version.

+-06-20  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/data.py (DerivedShapeStore.__init__): Raise

+         * Resources/XML/thuban.dtd: Add comment about which versions of
+         Thuban are covered by this DTD
+         (map): Fix content model for layers and raster layers. There can
+         be any number or layers and raster layers in any order.
+-06-20  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         This is mainly about fixing RTbug #1949.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Remove "from __future__"
+         import statement since python 2.2 is the earliest supported
+         version.
+         * Thuban/Model/proj.py (Projection.GetProjectedUnits): New.

+         Remove unnecessary use of lambdas and nested functions.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (ScaleBarBitmap.__SetScale): Do scale
+         adjustment here if the map projection uses degrees.
+         * Thuban/UI/scalebar.py (ScaleBar.DrawScaleBar): Remove
+         scale adjust code since it is now done before calling
+         this method. Don't do anything if the map projection
+         is None.
+-06-19  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Move version specific load tests to their own file.
+         * test/test_load.py: Expand the doc-string to explain a bit how to
+         handle file format changes.
+         (TestClassification.test): Update the docstring as this test is
+         not about Thuban 0.2 anymore.
+         * test/test_load_0_2.py: New file with the load tests for thuban
+         files created with Thuban 0.2 and earlier.
+-06-19  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Add XML validation to some of the tests. Validation will only be
+         done if pyRXP is installed (http://reportlab.com/xml/pyrxp.html).
+         To make the DTD available to the test cases it's moved into
+         Resources/XML
+         * Resources/XML/thuban.dtd: New. This is now the real Thuban DTD
+         for versions up to and including 0.2. Two slight changes: added an
+         encoding specification and fixed the comment which refered to
+         GRASS, not Thuban
+         * test/xmlsupport.py: New support module for tests involving XML.
+         Currently there's a mix-in class for XML validation.
+         * test/test_xmlsupport.py: New. Tests for the xmlsupport module
+         * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest): Derive from ValidationTest

+-06-19  Frank Koormann   <[email protected]>
+         MERGE from the greater-ms3 branch.
+         * Thuban/UI/scalebar.py (ScaleBar.DrawScaleBar): Apply conversion to
+         scale if projection is latlong to get better estimate.
+         Fix problem of hidden properties dialog under windows after double
+         click on layer tree:
+         The tree control always gets an Expanded / Collapsed event after
+         the ItemActivated  on double click, which raises the main window again.
+         We add a second ItemActivated event to the queue, which simply
+         raises the already displayed window.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (LegendTree.__init__): Instance variable
+         raiseProperties initialized to prevent endless loops
+         (LegendTree._OnItemActivated): Depending on self.raiseProperties
+         simply raise the properties or open the dialog and issue a second
+         event.
+-06-18  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py: Fix a few problems that occured under Windows.
+-06-18  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         When Thuban loaded the map was redrawn twice because the
+         legend was being opened after the mainwindow was created
+         and not during its creation. This meant the map was drawn
+         initially and then had to be redrawn when the legend
+         caused the display to change. Now the legend is opened
+         in the mainwindow constructor which resolves this issue.
+         Also, although we were checking for the existence of
+         gdal and gdalwarp modules, the gdalwarp extension was
+         still being compiled (which may fail if the system doesn't
+         have gdal installed). the build_ext command to setup.py
+         now accepts the flags --with-gdal and --without-gdal.
+         If --without-gdal is specified setup.py will try to
+         use the gdal parameters specified by gdal-config. Under
+         windows, those parameters have to be set in setup.py
+         as with proj4 an wxWindows.
+         * setup.py: Use a list instead of seperate variables for
+         extension parameters so we can create a generic function
+         that runs an appropriate *-config script.
+         (run_cs_script): Renamed from run_wx_script and modified
+         to accept a second argument which is a list of lists to
+         be filled in by the values returned from running the command.
+         (thuban_build_ext): New. Extends the build_ext command and
+         provides the options --with-gdal/--without-gdal which then
+         optionally includes the gdalwarp extension.
+         * Thuban/Model/resource.py: First check if we can import
+         the gdalwarp Thuban extension before checking for gdal.
+         Also added some comments.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (ScaleBarBitmap.__SetScale): Check if
+         the map is None which may be the case if none has been loaded
+         yet.
+         * Thuban/UI/main.py (main): Remove call to ShowLegend.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.__init__): Call ShowLegend().
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py: Check for gdal support before importing
+         gdalwarp.
+         (MapRenderer.render_map): Only try to optimize if we have gdal
+         support otherwise nothing will get drawn.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.FitMapToWindow): This may be called
+         during startup before a map has been created. Check if map is None
+         before using it and do nothing if it is.
+-06-17  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         Fix the problem with raster layers under Windows that caused
+         Thuban to crash. The view should respond to layer projection
+         changed events to update the display. Changes to a projection
+         should not cause the map to be set to full extent.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.__init__): New instance variable
+         current_map_proj to remember the current map projection so that
+         when the projection changes we know what the previous projection
+         was.
+         (MapCanvas.SetMap): Unsubscribe and subscribe to
+         LAYER_PROJECTION_CHANGED events.
+         (MapCanvas.projection_changed): Split into two methods that respond
+         to map and layer projection changes.
+         (MapCanvas.map_projection_changed): New. Takes the current view and
+         projects it using the new projection. This does not cause the
+         map to be redrawn at full extent.
+         (MapCanvas.layer_projection_changed): New. Cause a redraw which
+         will draw each layer in its new projection.
+         * extensions/thuban/bmpdataset.cpp (BMPDataset::Open): Call
+         VSIFClose() not VSIFCloseL() to close the file. Fixes a crash
+         under Windows.
+         * extensions/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp (MFILENAME): Padding should be
+         to twice sizeof(void*) because there are two digits for each
+         hex byte.
+-06-16  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Update to the layer interface: Direct access to the table,
+         shapetable, shapefile and filename attributes is now actively
+         deprecated by issuing deprecation warnings for all places where
+         this happens.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.__getattr__): New. Implement access
+         to the instance variables table, shapetable, shapefile and

+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (ClassGenDialog.__init__)
+         (GenUniformPanel._OnRetrieve, GenUniquePanel._OnRetrieve)
+         (GenQuantilesPanel.GetList, GenQuantilesPanel.OnRetrieve): Don't

+-06-16  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         Fix a problem under Windows whereby if the user double-clicks on a
+         layer in the legend that tree item will expand or collapse as well
+         as open the layer properties dialog. The state of the tree item
+         should not be affected.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (LegendTree.__init__): Add instance variable
+         preventExpandCollapse and subscribe to expanding and collapsing
+         events.
+         (LegendTree.OnItemExpandCollapse): New. Responds to expanding and
+         collapsing events and will veto the event if it has been triggered
+         by the user double clicking on a layer.
+         (LegendTree._OnItemActivated): Set preventExpandCollapse to indicate
+         that an expanding/collapsing event should be vetoed.
+-06-13  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.OnClose)
+         (Classifier.map_layers_removed)
+         (Classifier.layer_shapestore_replaced): Unsubscribe the messages
+         in OnClose and not in map_layers_removed or
+         layer_shapestore_replaced to make sure it always happens when the
+         dialog is closed
+-06-13  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         This puts back a fix for Windows where a panel is needed so that
+         the background of the table view appears correctly.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (TableFrame.__init__): Add a panel
+         object that can be used by derived classes to place any
+         controls (including the grid) onto.
+         (QueryTableFrame.__init__): Use the panel as the parent window
+         for all the controls. Reparent the grid so that the panel is
+         the parent. Call UpdateStatusText() to correctly initialize
+         the status bar.
+-06-13  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/dialogs.py (ThubanFrame): New: a class that inherits
+         from wxFrame (as opposed to wxDialog like the other classes)
+         but otherwise behaves like the other classes. This is needed
+         for the TableView which isn't really a dialog and needs to
+         have a status bar and control buttons.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (TableGrid.__init__): Create an
+         instance variable to keep track of how many rows are selected.
+         Subscribe once to the the events we are interested in.
+         (ThubanGrid.OnRangeSelect): Only handle event if event handling
+         hasn't been turned off.
+         (ThubanGrid.OnSelectCell): Only handle event if event handling
+         hasn't been turned off.
+         (ThubanGrid.ToggleEventListeners): Rather than subscribe None
+         as an event listener (which changes the event handler stack)
+         simply set an instance variable to False. This is checked in
+         the event handlers.
+         (ThubanGrid.GetNumberSelected): Return the number of currently
+         selected rows.
+         (TableFrame): Inherit from ThubanFrame so we can have a
+         status bar and control buttons.
+         (QueryTableFrame.__init__): Create a status bar. Fixes RTbug #1942.
+         Explicitly set which items are selected in the operator choice and
+         action choice so there is always a valid selection. Fixes RTbug #1941.
+         Subscribe to grid cell selection events so we can update the
+         status bar.
+         (QueryTableFrame.UpdateStatusText): Update the status bar with
+         how many rows are in the grid, how many columns, and how many
+         rows are selected.
+         (QueryTableFrame.OnGridSelectRange, QueryTableFrame.OnGridSelectCell):
+         Call UpdateStatusText when cells are (de)selected.
+         (QueryTableFrame.OnQuery): Use the string value in the value
+         combo if either the selected item index is 0 or if the string
+         cannot be found in the predefined list (this happens if the
+         user changes the text). Fixes RTbug #1940.
+         Only turn off the grid event listeners if there a query comes
+         back with a none empty list of ids. in the case that the list
+         is empty this causes a grid.ClearSelection() call to actually
+         clear the grid selection which causes the selected items in
+         the map to be deselected. Fixes RTbug #1939.
+         * test/test_save.py (XMLWriterTest.Encode): Check return values.
+         Fixes RTbug #1851.
+-06-13  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/identifyview.py (IdentifyView.__init__): Call
+         self.selected_shape with the current selection to make sure the
+         contents of the dialog are up to date when it's shown for the
+         first time.
+         The dialog used to work without this by luck. The recent fix to
+         the connector module 'broke' a 'feature' the identify view was
+         relying on, i.e that subscribing to a message in response to
+         receiving a message of that type would mean that the new
+         subscriber would also be called for the same message.
+-06-12  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * extensions/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp: Removed debug printing as
+         the image is rendered. Fixes RTbug #1937.
+-06-12  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Lib/fileutil.py: As is done under Windows, create the
+         user directory if it doesn't exist on a posix system.
+         Fixes RTbug #1815.
+         * Thuban/Model/resource.py (get_user_proj_files): Moved the
+         called to get_application_dir here, so that the directory
+         will only be called if this method is invoked.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.__DoOnProjAvail): Clear
+         the projfilepath if no projection is selected.
+-06-12  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (ScaleBarBitmap.__SetScale): Don't draw
+         the scalebar if the current map has no projection set.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.__DoOnProjAvail): Set the
+         projfilepath label to just the basename of the projection file
+         rather than include the entire path.
+         * Thuban/Model/resource.py: Fix missed proj functions that
+         needed to be renamed.
+-06-12  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Removed assert statements that
+         tested if the variable was an instance of Color.
+         * Thuban/Model/color.py (Color): Remove commented code that isn't
+         used.
+         (Transparent): Renamed from NoColor. Doesn't inherit from Color.
+         Fixes RTbug #1835.
+         (Transparent.__eq__, Transparent.__ne, Transparent.__repr): New.
+         Needed now that the class doesn't inherit from Color.
+-06-12  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

+         * Thuban/Model/xmlwriter.py: New. Contains the XMLWriter class
+         that was in save.py
+-06-12  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         This is largely a collection of bug fixes. We also handle the
+         case where gdal is not on the system. The XMLReader and XMLWriter
+         classes were moved into there own files to resolve some circular
+         import references and because they shouldn't really be in the
+         file that is dediciated to reading/writing session files since
+         they are also used elsewhere.
+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py: Renamed functions to follow the
+         function_names_with_underscores style. Fixes RTbug #1903.
+         (calculate_quantiles): Raise ValueError if 'percents' is invalid.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py: Import gdal only if it available.
+         (RasterLayer): Handle the case where the gdal library is unavailable.
+         Addresses RTbug #1877.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (XMLReader): Moved into seperate file

+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Remove unused import of ClassGenerator.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py: The legend was cleared and repopulated any

+         Fixes RTBug #1880.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py: Added checks against if scale == 0. This
+         is a serious problem that can occur when an image without
+         geo data is loading and causes the map projection bounds to
+         go to infinity. Right now, the solution is to simply try
+         to recover.

+         filled transparent to have the raster image visible at once.
+-05-21  Frank Koormann  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow): Renamed _OnClose() back to
+         OnClose() to keep in sync with extensions. Internally Thuban
+         still uses "underscored" names.
+-05-20  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         This puts back Raster layer support. These layers support projections
+         through the GDAL library. Currently, the CVS version is being used.
+         There are no Debian packages available although this may change soon.
+         A GDAL driver was extended to support writing to memory rather to
+         files.
+         There is still some work that needs to be done, such as some error
+         handling when loading invalid images or when there is a problem
+         projecting the image. This putback simply checks in the majority
+         of the work.
+         * setup.py: Add gdalwarp library extension.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (BaseLayer.HasClassification): New.

+         * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map.BoundingBox): Fix typo in comment.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (XMLWriter.encode): Don't assume that we
+         get a string in Latin1. If we get such as string convert it to
+         unicode first, otherwise leave if alone before encoding.
+         (SessionSaver.write_layer): Add support for writing both Layers
+         and RasterLayers.
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (AutoTransientTable.SimpleQuery):
+         The right argument may not be a string, it could also be a Column.
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.CreateMainWindow):
+         Make initial window size 600x400. Fixes RTBug #1872.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): Rearrange how
+         the dialog is constructed so that we can support layers that
+         do not have classifications.
+         (Classifier._OnTry): Only build a classification if the layer
+         supports one.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py: Change all checks that a layer is an

+         user chooses Cancel when they are asked to save changes.
+         (MainWindow.AddRasterLayer): New. Open a dialog to allow the
+         user to select an image file. Create a new RasterLayer and add
+         it to the map.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.render_map): Add support
+         for rendering RasterLayer layers.
+         (MapRenderer.draw_raster_layer): Actually method that calls
+         the GDALWarp python wrapper and constructs an image from the
+         data returned.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (LayerTableFrame.__init__): Change the
+         Choices symbols to match those used in the table query method.
+         Replace deprecated method calls on table with new method names.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.set_view_transform): Try to limit
+         how small the scale can get. This still needs more testing.
+         * extensions/thuban/bmpdataset.cpp: New, but copied from GDAL.
+         Provides a driver to output in .bmp format.
+         * extensions/thuban/cpl_mfile.cpp, extensions/thuban/cpl_mfile.h:

+         that can be accessed from python.
+         * Data/iceland_sample_raster.thuban: New. Sample file that uses
+         a raster layer.

+         __future__ import for nested_scopes as Thuban relies on Python 2.2
+         now.

+         In the saver encode is always called with a string argument.
+-05-16  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/__init__.py: Remove the work-around for the locale bug
+         in wxPython (at least when usinvg wxGTK) prior to 2.4. The symptom
+         of the bug was that e.g. float("1.2") would fail. Thuban now
+         requires 2.4.x.
+-05-16  Frank Koormann   <[email protected]>
+         Printing enhancement and WMF export (under Win32)
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (ExportRenderer): New, derived from

+         string appropriately for use in Thuban. Fixes RTbug #1851.
+         (SessionLoader.end_projection): Handle the context of the
+         projection tag a bit better by looking at what objects are not

+         Finally, the new Table interface has a new method, HasColumn.
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py (OldTableInterfaceMixin): All methods
+         issue deprecation warnings when they're. The warnings refer to the

+         * Thuban/Model/resource.py (GetSystemProjFiles, GetUserProjFiles):
+         Return a list with only one projection file instead of searching for

+         REFERENCE. Currently there is a cyclic reference between the layer
+         and its classification. If the classification doesn't need to know
+         its owning layer we can change this, since it may make sense to be
+         able to use the same classification with different layers.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py: Use Classification.AppendGroup(), not AddGroup()
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py: Use Classification.AppendGroup(),
+         not AddGroup()
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Now that we can depend on the order in
+         a Classification and have methods to manipulate that order we don't
+         need to use our own data structures in the grid. We can simply make
+         the grid/table access the information they need from a copy of
+         the classification object.
+         (Classifier._OnCloseBtn): Event handler for when the user clicks
+         'Close'. This is needed so if the user applies changes and then
+         continues to change the table the user has the option of discarding
+         the most recent changes and keeping what they applied.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Put "Show Legend" and "Show Session Tree"
+         into the same group.
+         * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (check_version): If Thuban is compiled
+         with a really old version of proj, PJ_VERSION won't even be defined.
+         If it isn't defined then just compile so that the function always
+         returns Py_False.
+         * test/test_classification.py: Fix tests to use the renamed methods.
+         Still need to write tests for the new methods.
+-04-04  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__SelectField): Move the
+         call to SetSelection out of the method and before the call
+         to __SelectField in __init__. This prevents a recursion of events
+         when _OnFieldSelect is triggered by the user.
+-04-04  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Rename Color.None to
+         Color.Transparent.
+         (ClassGroupProperties.SetLineColori, ClassGroupProperties.SetFill):
+         Don't bother copying the color, since Colors are immutable.
+         * Thuban/Model/color.py, Thuban/Model/layer.py, Thuban/Model/load.py,
+         Thuban/UI/classifier.py, Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py,
+         Thuban/UI/renderer.py, Thuban/UI/view.py:
+         Rename Color.None to Color.Transparent.
+         * test/test_classification.py, test/test_load.py: Rename Color.None
+         to Color.Transparent.
+-04-04  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Fix assert calls.
+         (ClassGroupProperties.SetLineColor, ClassGroupProperties.SetFill):
+         Copy the color parameter rather than hold onto a reference.
+         * Thuban/Model/color.py (Color.__copy__, Color.__deepcopy): Copy
+         the color object.
+         (NoColor.__copy__, NoColor.__deepcopy): Return 'self' so that we
+         are sure there exists only one refernce to Color.None in the system.
+         This allows us to use 'is' rather than the comparision functions.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py: Fix assert calls.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Fix assert calls.
+         (ClassGrid._OnCellDClick): Call up to the classifier to open the
+         dialog to edit the groups properties.
+         (ClassGrid._OnCellResize): Make sure that the scollbars are drawn
+         correctly if a cell is resized.
+         (ClassTable.SetClassification): New. Changes the classification
+         that is in the table.
+         (ClassTable.__SetRow): Allow groups to be prepended.
+         (Classifier): New code for opening the EditProperties and
+         GenerateRanges dialogs.
+         (SelectPropertiesDialog.__GetColor): Only set the color in the
+         color dialog if the current color is not None.
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py: Fix assert calls.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py: Fix assert calls.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py: Fix assert calls.
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (ClassGenDialog): Dialog for generating
+         classifications.
+         (GenRangePanel): Panel specific to range generation.
+         (GenSingletonPanel): Panel specific to singleton generation.
+         (ClassGenerator): Class responsible for actually generating
+         the classification from the data gathered in the dialog box.
+         (PropertyRamp): Generates properties whose values range from
+         a starting property to an ending property.
+-04-03  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/support.py (print_garbage_information): New function that
+         prints information about still connected messages and memory
+         leaks.
+         (run_suite): Removed.
+         (run_tests): New function for use as a replacement of
+         unittest.main in the test_* files. This one calls
+         print_garbage_information at the end.
+         * test/runtests.py (main): Use support.print_garbage_information
+         * test/test_layer.py: Use support.run_tests instead of
+         unittest.main so we get memory leak information
+         (TestLayer.test_arc_layer, TestLayer.test_polygon_layer)
+         (TestLayer.test_point_layer, TestLayer.test_empty_layer)
+         (TestLayerLegend.test_visibility): Call the layer's Destroy method
+         to fix a memory leak.

+         (TestClassification.test_classification): Call the layer's Destroy
+         method to fix a memory leak.
+-04-02  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (check_version, check_version_gtk):
+         Handle the reference counts of the return value and errors in
+         PyArg_ParseTuple correctly.
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OpenSession): Make
+         sure the filename is absolute to avoid problems when saving the

+         * Thuban/Model/table.py: Remove unnecessary import. Fix a typo.
+-04-01  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         *  Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_point_shape): Check

+         before trying to index into the list. The list may be empty if
+         the shape is a Null Shape.
+-04-01  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_map.py: Don't use from <module> import *
+-04-01  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/session.py: Use LAYER_CHANGED instead of
+         LAYER_LEGEND_CHANGED
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py (DockableWindow._OnButtonClose): Call
+         self.Destroy() to close the window after yesterday's changes.

+         (ClassDataPreviewer.Draw): Draw rectangles for polygon layers per
+         RTbug #1769.
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py (DockableWindow.UnDock): Restore size and
+         position (although position doesn't work yet under GTK).
+         (DockableWindow.Destroy): New. Called when the window must be
+         closed. Namely needed when the DockFrame closes and must close
+         its children.
+         (DockFrame): Listen for EVT_CLOSE and destroy all children.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (LegendPanel.Destroy): New. Cleans up
+         when then window is told to close.
+         (LegendTree._OnMsgLayerChanged): Fixes a seg fault bug. See
+         comment in source for more info.
+         * Thuban/UI/main.py: Show the legend by default when Thuban starts.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Renamed OnClose to _OnClose for

+-03-28  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Support for highlighting a specific
+         group within the grid when the classification dialog is opened.
+         Also contains a lot of debugging printouts which will later
+         be removed.
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py: Complete rework on the dock code so that
+         that it is fairly removed from the rest of the Thuban application.
+         It is easy to add new docks which the rest of the program having
+         to be aware of them.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py: Modifications to support selecting a
+         specific group in the classification dialog. Changed how layers
+         are drawn when the layer is visible/invisible.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Removed legend specific code and
+         replaced it with calls to the new dock code.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.__init__): Added assert
+         to check if scale > 0. Trying to track down a divide by zero.

+         with the selected layer and/or group.
+-03-26  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         This putback contains the code for dockable windows. There is
+         no support in wxWindows as of this date for windows that can
+         attach themselves to other windows.
+         The current model contains a DockableWindow which has a parent
+         window for when it is detached and a dock window that it puts
+         its contents in when it is docked. The contents of a DockableWindow
+         must be a DockPanel. DockPanel itself derives from wxPanel.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.ClassChanged): Send a LAYER_CHANGED
+         message, not a LAYER_LEGEND_CHANGED message.
+         * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map): Forward LAYER_CHANGED messages.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): Use wxADJUST_MINSIZE
+         as one of the style properties for the fieldTypeText item to
+         be sure that its size is correct when the text changes.
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py: New. Classes for the DockPanel and
+         DockableWindow.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py: Added some more buttons and made the
+         LegendPanel a DockPanel.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Added sash windows to the main window
+         and supporting functions for manipulating the sashes.
+         (MainWindow.ShowLegend): Create a DockableWindow with the
+         LegendPanel as the contents.
+         * Thuban/UI/messages.py: Added DOCKABLE_* messages
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanves.SetMap): Listen for LAYER_CHANGED,
+         not LAYER_LEGEND_CHANGED, messages.
+-03-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py: Added custom script bdist_rpm_build_script so that
+         when the rpm is built the path to wx-config is correct.
+         * setup.cfg: Added line saying to use the custom build script
+-03-20  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         Initial implementation of the Legend.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py: New. Creates a window that shows the map's
+         Legend information and allows the user to add/modify classifications
+         and how the layers are drawn on the map.
+         * setup.py: New command 'build_docs' which currently uses
+         happydoc to generate html documentation for Thuban.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (ClassGroup.GetDisplayText): New.
+         Returns a string which is appropriately describes the group.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.SetClassification): Generate a
+         LAYER_CHANGED event instead of a LAYER_LEGEND_CHANGED event.
+         * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map): Rename messages and use new, more
+         specific, messages.
+         * Thuban/Model/messages.py: New message to indicate that a layer's
+         data has changed (LAYER_CHANGED). New map messages to indicate
+         when layers have been added/removed/changed or if the stacking order
+         of the layers has changed.
+         * Thuban/Model/session.py: Rename and use new messages.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Remember if any changes have actually
+         been applied so that if the dialog is cancelled without an application
+         of changes we don't have to set a new classification.
+         (ClassDataPreviewer): Pulled out the window specific code and put it
+         ClassDataPreviewWindow. ClassDataPreviewer can then be used to draw
+         symbols on any DC.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: New code to open the legend.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py: Use new message names.
+-03-19  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/main.py (verify_versions): New. Checks the versions
+         of Python, wxPython, and some other libraries.
+         * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (check_version): Checks the given
+         version against what wxproj was compiled with.
+         (check_version_gtk): If wxproj was compiled with gtk then check
+         the given version against the version of the gtk library
+         currently being used.
+-03-14  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_command.py: Run the tests when the module is run as a
+         script
+-03-14  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Implement selection of multiple selected shapes in the same layer:
+         - Introduce a new class to hold the selection. This basically
+           replaces the interactor which was nothing more than the
+           selection anyway. A major difference is of course that the new
+           selection class supports multiple selected shapes in one layer
+         - Move the object that represents the selection from the
+           application to the canvas. The canvas is a better place than the
+           application because the selection represents which shapes and
+           layer of the map displayed by the canvas are selected and
+           affects how the map is drawn.
+         - Make the selection and its messages publicly available through
+           the mainwindow.
+         - The non-modal dialogs do not get a reference to the interactor
+           anymore as they can simply refer to their parent, the
+           mainwindow, for the what the interactor had to offer.
+         * Thuban/UI/selection.py: New module with a class to represent the
+         selection.
+         * Thuban/UI/messages.py (SELECTED_TABLE, SELECTED_MAP): Remove
+         these unused messages
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnInit)
+         (ThubanApplication.OnExit, ThubanApplication.SetSession): The
+         interactor is gone now.
+         (ThubanApplication.CreateMainWindow): There is no interactor
+         anymore so we pass None as the interactor argument for now for
+         compatibility.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.delegated_messages)
+         (MapCanvas.Subscribe, MapCanvas.Unsubscribe): In Subscribe and
+         Unsubscribe, delegate messages according to the delegated_messages
+         class variable.
+         (MapCanvas.__getattr__, MapCanvas.delegated_methods): Get some
+         attributes from instance variables as described with the
+         delegated_methods class variable.
+         (MapCanvas.__init__): New instance variable selection holding the
+         current selection
+         (MapCanvas.do_redraw): Deal with multiple selected shapes. Simply
+         pass them on to the renderer
+         (MapCanvas.SetMap): Clear the selection when a different map is
+         selected.
+         (MapCanvas.shape_selected): Simple force a complete redraw. The
+         selection class now takes care of only issueing SHAPES_SELECTED
+         messages when the set of selected shapes actually does change.
+         (MapCanvas.SelectShapeAt): The selection is now managed in
+         self.selection
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.delegated_messages)
+         (MainWindow.Subscribe, MainWindow.Unsubscribe): In Subscribe and
+         Unsubscribe, delegate messages according to the delegated_messages
+         class variable.
+         (MainWindow.delegated_methods, MainWindow.__getattr__): Get some
+         attributes from instance variables as described with the
+         delegated_methods class variable.
+         (MainWindow.__init__): The interactor as ivar is gone. The
+         parameter is still there for compatibility. The selection messages
+         now come from the canvas.
+         (MainWindow.current_layer, MainWindow.has_selected_layer):
+         Delegate to the the canvas.
+         (MainWindow.LayerShowTable, MainWindow.Classify)
+         (MainWindow.identify_view_on_demand): The dialogs don't need the
+         interactor parameter anymore.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (TableFrame.__init__)
+         (LayerTableFrame.__init__, LayerTableFrame.OnClose)
+         (LayerTableFrame.row_selected): The interactor is gone. It's job
+         from the dialog's point of view is now done by the mainwindow,
+         i.e. the parent. Subscribe to SHAPES_SELECTED instead
+         of SELECTED_SHAPE
+         * Thuban/UI/dialogs.py (NonModalDialog.__init__): The interactor
+         is gone. It's job from the dialog's point of view is now done by
+         the mainwindow, i.e. the parent.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): The interactor is
+         gone. It's job from the dialog's point of view is now done by the

+         gone. It's job from the dialog's point of view is now done by the
+         mainwindow, i.e. the parent.
+         (SessionTreeCtrl.__init__): New parameter mainwindow which is
+         stored as self.mainwindow. The mainwindow is need so that the tree
+         can still subscribe to the selection messages.
+         (SessionTreeCtrl.__init__, SessionTreeCtrl.unsubscribe_all)
+         (SessionTreeCtrl.update_tree, SessionTreeCtrl.OnSelChanged): The
+         selection is now accessible through the mainwindow. Subscribe to
+         SHAPES_SELECTED instead of SELECTED_SHAPE
+         * Thuban/UI/identifyview.py (IdentifyView.__init__): Use the
+         SHAPES_SELECTED message now.
+         (IdentifyView.selected_shape): Now subscribed to SHAPES_SELECTED,
+         so deal with multiple shapes
+         (IdentifyView.__init__, IdentifyView.OnClose): The interactor is
+         gone. It's job from the dialog's point of view is now done by the
+         mainwindow, i.e. the parent.
+         * Thuban/UI/controls.py (RecordListCtrl.fill_list): The second
+         parameter is now a list of shape ids.
+         (RecordTable.SetTable): The second parameter is now a list of
+         indices.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (ScreenRenderer.RenderMap): Rename the
+         selected_shape parameter and ivar to selected_shapes. It's now a
+         list of shape ids.
+         (MapRenderer.draw_label_layer): Deal with multiple selected
+         shapes. Rearrange the code a bit so that the setup and shape type
+         distinctions are only executed once.
+         * test/test_selection.py: Test cases for the selection class
+-03-11  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py: Temporary fix so that the xml reader
+         doesn't cause Thuban to crash.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py: Handle the cyclic references between
+         a layer and its classification better, and be sure to disconnect
+         the classification from the layer when the layer is destroyed
+         so that we don't maintain a cyclic reference that may not be
+         garbage collected.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: See comment for layer.py.
+-03-12  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * HOWTO-Release: New. Information on the steps for releasing
+         a new version of Thuban.
+-03-11  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Add normal border to SelectPropertiesDialog.
+         Use True instead of true.
+         (Classifier): Should have a single panel in which all the controls lie.
+         * Thuban/UI/proj4dialog.py: Add normal border.
+         * Thuban/UI/tree.py: Fixed problem with bad item images under Windows.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Use True instead of true.
+         * setup.py: Update some definitions to use wxWindows2.4 files
+         * Data/iceland_sample_class.thuban: Fixed file so that the
+         field_type information is present.
+-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): Make the
+         field type label grow so that when the text changes the
+         size is updated correctly. This may be a wxWindows bug.
+-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py: Changed SESSION_CHANGED to
+         SESSION_REPLACED.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Wrap text with _().
+         (ClassGrid.CreateTable): Set dimensions and size hints here,
+         instead of in Reset, so we only set the size once.
+         * Thuban/UI/dialogs.py: Don't need Shutdown(); just use Close()!
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.prepare_new_session):
+         Call Close() instead of Shutdown().
+         * Thuban/UI/messages.py: Changed SESSION_CHANGED to SESSION_REPLACED.
+         * Thuban/UI/tree.py: Changed SESSION_CHANGED to SESSION_REPLACED.
+         Go back to using OnClose() instead of Shutdown().
+-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier): SelectField() needed
+         to know the old field index as well as the new one.
+-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier): Use __SelectField()
+         to correctly set the table information and call this from
+         __init__ and from _OnFieldSelect so that all the information
+         is up to date when the dialog opens and when a field is changed.
+-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (Classification): Don't use
+         layer's message function directly, use the ClassChanged() method
+         when then classification changes. SetField/SetFieldType/SetLayer
+         must keep the information about field name and field type in
+         sync when an owning layer is set or removed.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py: Added ClassChanged() so that the
+         classification can tell the layer when its data has changed.
+         (Layer.SetClassification): Accepts None as an arguement to
+         remove the current classification and correctly handles
+         adding a new classification.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py: Comment out print statement
+         * test/test_classification.py, test/test_save.py: New and
+         improved tests.
+-03-07  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Implemented __copy__ and
+         __deepcopy__ for ClassGroup* and ClassGroupProperites so
+         they can easily be copied by the classifier dialog.
+         (ClassGroupProperites.__init__): The default line color should
+         have been Color.Black.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Setting and Getting table values now
+         uses a consistent set of functions.
+         (Classifier): Now non-modal. Has field type label which changes
+         as the field changes. Keep track of buttons in a list so that
+         we can enable/disable the buttons when the None field is selected.
+         (SelectPropertiesDialog): Add buttons to make the colors transparent.
+         * Thuban/UI/dialogs.py (NonModalDialog.Shutdown): New method which
+         does what OnClose did, but can be called by the application to
