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

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

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

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

+         gone.
+         * test/runtests.py (main): The old table interface is gone and
+         with it the deprecation warnings so remove the code that turns
+         these warnings into errors
+-11-19  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_table.py: Revert to revision 1.5 again. Changing the
+         tests to use the new table interface is completely wrong since the
+         whole purpose of the tests in this module is to test the old
+         interface.
+-11-18  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/postgisdb.py (PostGISConnection.MatchesParameters):
+         New. Test whether the connection matches a set of connection

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

+         Use quoted table and column names
+         * test/test_postgis_db.py (TestPostGISSpecialCases)
+         (TestPostGISIgnoredColumns): Rename the class to
+         TestPostGISSpecialCases because that better describes the new

+         (TestPostGISSpecialCases.test_unsupported_types)
+         (TestPostGISSpecialCases.test): Rename the method to
+         test_unsupported_types because we need a more descriptive name now

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

+         not really unittest.

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

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

+         (ThubanEndBusyCursor): Add doc-strings
+-08-01  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         First step towards PostGIS integration. More abstraction by movin
+         more code from the layer to the shapestore. More methods of the
+         layer are now simply delegated to the equivalent method of the
+         shapestore. The SHAPETYPE_* constants are now in data not in
+         layer.
+         * Thuban/Model/data.py (SHAPETYPE_POLYGON, SHAPETYPE_ARC)
+         (SHAPETYPE_POINT, Shape): Move these constants and classes from
+         layer.py to data.py
+         (ShapefileStore.__init__): More Initialization for the new methods
+         and functionality.
+         (ShapefileStore.ShapeType, ShapefileStore.NumShapes)
+         (ShapefileStore.BoundingBox, ShapefileStore.ShapesInRegion)
+         (ShapefileStore.Shape): New methods that were formerly implemented
+         in the layer.
+         (DerivedShapeStore.Shape, DerivedShapeStore.ShapesInRegion)
+         (DerivedShapeStore.ShapeType, DerivedShapeStore.NumShapes)
+         (DerivedShapeStore.BoundingBox): New. DerivedShapeStore
+         equivalents of the new shape methods. These versions are simply
+         delegated to the original shapstore.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (SHAPETYPE_POLYGON, SHAPETYPE_ARC)
+         (SHAPETYPE_POINT, Shape): Removed. They're now in data.py
+         (Layer.SetShapeStore): Removed the initializatin of instance
+         variables that were needed for the stuff that's now in
+         ShapefileStore
+         (Layer.BoundingBox, Layer.NumShapes, Layer.ShapeType)
+         (Layer.Shape, Layer.ShapesInRegion): Simply delegate to the
+         shapestore.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py, Thuban/UI/renderer.py,
+         Thuban/UI/viewport.py: Import the SHAPETYPE_* constants from data
+         instead of layer.
+         * test/test_shapefilestore.py: New. Tests for ShapefileStore.
+         * test/test_derivedshapestore.py: New. Tests for DerivedShapeStore.
+         * test/test_layer.py: Import the SHAPETYPE_* constants from data
+         instead of layer.
+         (TestLayer.test_derived_store): Remove the test for the exception
+         when instantiating the DerivedShapeStore with an incompatible
+         table which is now in test_derivedshapestore.py. Add some more
+         tests of the layer methods to determine whether they work for a
+         DerivedShapeStore as well.
+-07-31  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual.xml: Fix the list of required packages

+-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):

+-07-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnInit): set the

+         Thuban exception that happen during initialization.
+         * Thuban/UI/main.py (main): Don't set the exception hook here,
+         it will get set in ThubanApplication.OnInit.
+-07-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.ShowExceptionDialog):
+         Removed and called it show_exception_dialog() so that the exception

+-07-15  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/support.py (FloatComparisonMixin): This is a mix-in 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

+-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.

+-07-02  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py (generate_singletons,
+         generate_uniform_distribution, generate_quantiles,
+         GenQuantiles0): The denominator was one to high when

+         to never to reach one.
+-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/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
+         so that they use the new signature.
+         * test/test_load.py: Fix use of ClassGroupRange so that it

+         * test/test_load_0_2.py: Fix use of ClassGroupRange so that it

+-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):
+         Made into instances of Monochromatic class instread of

+         (HotToCold.SetNumGroups): Removed. See CustomRamp.
+         (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/Model/layer.py (BaseLayer.HasShapes): New. Overridden
+         by deriving classes to determine if that layer supports shapes.
+         (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().

+         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.

+         * test/test_session.py
+         (UnreferencedTablesTests.test_unreferenced_tables_with_joins):
+         Use the cultural_landmark-point.dbf file for the store so that
+         the table rows and shape count match.
+-06-20  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/data.py (DerivedShapeStore.__init__): Raise

+         support.FloatTestCase.
+-06-20  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_save.py (SaxEventLister, sax_eventlist): Removed. Use
+         the implementation in xmlsupport instead.
+         (SaveSessionTest.compare_xml): sax_eventlist is now in xmlsupport
+         * test/test_proj.py: Import sax_eventlist from xmlsupport instead
+         of test_save
+-06-20  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_load.py (LoadSessionTest.check_format): New helper

+         (TestLayerVisibility.test, TestClassification.test)
+         (TestLabels.test, TestLayerProjection.test, TestRasterLayer.test):
+         Add check_format() calls and fix the thuban data to match the data

+         * 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.

+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_classification):
+         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
+         so that we can validate the

+         * test/support.py (resource_dir): New function to return the
+         "Resource" subdirectory
+         (print_additional_summary): New function to combine several

+         print_garbage_information directly
+-06-19  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/thuban.dtd (classification): Correct the content model of
+         the classification element.
+         (projection): Add the "name" attribute
+-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
+         filename via __getattr__ so that we can issue a deprecation
+         warning.
+         (Layer.SetShapeStore): Don't set the deprecated instance variables
+         any more
+         (Layer.SetShapeStore): Don't use deprecated layer instance
+         variables
+         (Layer.Destroy): No need to explicitly remove the instance
+         variables any more
+         (Layer.GetFieldType, Layer.Shape): Don't use deprecated layer
+         instance variables
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (ClassGenDialog.__init__)
+         (GenUniformPanel._OnRetrieve, GenUniquePanel._OnRetrieve)
+         (GenQuantilesPanel.GetList, GenQuantilesPanel.OnRetrieve): Don't
+         use deprecated layer instance variables
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): Don't use
+         deprecated layer instance variables
+         * Thuban/UI/identifyview.py (IdentifyListCtrl.selected_shape)
+         (IdentifyGridCtrl.selected_shape): Don't set the deprecated layer
+         instance variables
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (LayerTableGrid.select_shapes): Don't use
+         deprecated layer instance variables
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.LayerShowTable): Don't use
+         deprecated layer instance variables
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_layer): Don't use
+         deprecated layer instance variables
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer)
+         (MapRenderer.polygon_render_param): Don't use deprecated layer instance
+         variables
+         * test/runtests.py (main): Turn Thuban's deprecation warnings into
+         errors so that they're cought by the tests
+         * test/test_load.py (TestSingleLayer.test): Don't use deprecated
+         layer instance variables
+-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

+         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.

+         order that the controls are created so that tabbing works correctly.
+         (SelectPropertiesDialog.__init__): Rearrange the order that the
+         controls are created so that tabbing works correctly.
+         * Thuban/UI/dialogs.py: Copied NonModalDialog box and changed it
+         to derive from a wxDialog but behave like the original implementation
+         which was derived from a wxFrame. wxDialog provides useful key
+         handling functionality like ESC calling OnCancel and ENTER calling
+         OnOK which is lost with wxFrame.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Add "..." to menu items that will open
+         new dialogs.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.__init__): Rearrange the
+         order that the controls are created so that tabbing works correctly.
+         (ProjFrame.OnApply): Renamed from _OnTry() to use wxDialog behaviour.
+         (ProjFrame.OnOK): Renamed from _OnOK() to use wxDialog behaviour.
+         (ProjFrame.OnCancel): Renamed from _OnClose() to use wxDialog behaviour.
+         (ProjPanel.__init__): Add "Airy" to the list of ellipsoids so we
+         can provide the "UK National Grid" as a default projection.
+         (UTMPanel.__init__): Rearrange the order that the controls are
+         created so that tabbing works correctly.
+-05-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp: Fix some of the comments.
+         (project_point): If a map projection but no layer projection is
+         given, convert degrees to radians before applying the map
+         projection.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (TableGrid.disallow_messages)
+         (TableGrid.allow_messages): New methods to make it possible to
+         inhibit message sending.
+         (TableGrid.issue): Only send the message if not inhibited.
+         (LayerTableGrid.select_shape): Use the new methods to make sure
+         that no ROW_SELECTED message is sent while we're updating the

+-05-02  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Implementation of MemoryTable.
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py (MemoryTable): New. Quite simple table
+         implementation that operates on a list of tuples. All of the data
+         are kept in the memory.
+         * test/test_table.py (MemoryTableTest): New.
+         * test/test_transientdb.py (SimpleTable): Removed.

+-04-30  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Data/iceland_sample.thuban: Now contains correct projections
+         for each of the layers.
+         * Resources/Projections/defaults.proj: Geographic projection
+         contains unit conversion parameter.
+-04-30  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         The most important part of this putback is the projection changes.
+         It should now be possible to specify the projection that a layer
+         is in and then specify a different projection for the map. The
+         projection dialog has an extra parameter for a geographic projection
+         which lets the user select if the input is in degrees or radians.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.ShapesInRegion): Fix docstring
+         to say that the parameter is a tuple of unprojected
+         points (which is what the callers to this method were assuming).
+         Also, since the points are unprojected we need to projected them.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (LegendTree.MoveCurrentItemUp,
+         LegendTree.MoveCurrentItemDown): If the layer or any of the layer's
+         groups are selected, move the layer up/down. Fixes RTbug #1833.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Move menu item map_rename up.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame._OnSave): Add missing
+         parameter in call to SetClientData.
+         (GeoPanel): Add support for selecting the units that the
+         source data is in (Radians or Degrees).
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Optimize
+         the rendering loop by reducing the number of if's, removing the
+         unnecessary try/except block, and checking if the old group
+         is the same as the new one (which happens a lot if there is
+         no classification, or lots of shapes are in the same group).
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.OnPaint): Add a try/except block
+         around the redraw routine to try to catch problems that the user
+         may create by selecting invalid projections for the data set and
+         map. Clears the display if there are any problems and prints the
+         error.
+         (MapCanvas.do_redraw): Use DC.Clear() instead of drawing a filled
+         rectangle.
+         * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (project_point): First invert the
+         supplied point (which should be in projected coordinates) using
+         the layer's projection and then project the point using the
+         map's projection.
+         (project_points): Use project_point() to project each point.
+-04-30  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.SetShapeStore): Fixed a bug:
+         don't set the Classification to None if the classfication field
+         is None (ie only a DEFAULT).
+-04-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py: Fix some typos.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.identify_view_on_demand): Do
+         not pop up the dialog if the selection becomes empty (this could
+         happen if e.g. a new selection is opened while the identify tool
+         is active and dialog had been closed)
+-04-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (TransientTableBase.__init__): New
+         instance variable read_record_last_result
+         (TransientTableBase.read_record): Make sure reading the same
+         record twice works. The implementation uses the new instance
+         variable read_record_last_result
+         * test/test_transientdb.py
+         (TestTransientTable.test_transient_table_read_twice): New test
+         case for the above bug-fix.
+-04-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/common.py: Removed. No longer needed Str2Num. RTbug #1832.

+         ClassGroup* constructors to match argument name.
+-04-29  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/session.py (Session.Destroy): Explicitly close the
+         transient DB if it exists to make sure it doesn't leave a journal
+         file in the temp directory.
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (TransientDatabase.close): Set
+         self.conn to None after closing the connection to make sure it's
+         not closed twice
+-04-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         Add a visible parameter in the layer XML tag. The default value is
+         "true". If anything other than "false" is specified we also assume
+         "true". Addresses RTbug #1025.
+         * Doc/thuban.dtd: Add visible parameter to a layer.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (BaseLayer.__init__): Change default value
+         of visible from 1 to True.

+         * test/test_load.py: Add new test data contents_test_visible.
+         (LoadSessionTest.setUp): save test data.
+         (LoadSessionTest.testLayerVisibility): Test if the visible flag
+         is loaded correctly.
+         * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest.testSingleLayer): Add test
+         for saving an invisible layer.
+-04-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.SetMap): Look up the

+         supplied to SetMap(). Fixes RTbug #1770.
+-04-29  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Next step of table implementation. Introduce a transient database
+         using SQLite that some of the data is copied to on demand. This
+         allows us to do joins and other operations that require an index
+         for good performance with reasonable efficiency. Thuban now needs
+         SQLite 2.8.0 and pysqlite 0.4.1. Older versions may work but I
+         haven't tested that.
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py: New. Transient database
+         implementation.
+         * test/test_transientdb.py: New. Tests for the transient DB
+         classes.
+         * Thuban/Model/session.py (AutoRemoveFile, AutoRemoveDir): New
+         classes to help automatically remove temporary files and
+         directories.
+         (Session.__init__): New instance variables temp_dir for the
+         temporary directory and transient_db for the SQLite database
+         (Session.temp_directory): New. Create a temporary directory if not
+         yet done and return its name. Use AutoRemoveDir to have it
+         automatically deleted
+         (Session.TransientDB): Instantiate the transient database if not
+         done yet and return it.
+         * Thuban/Model/data.py (ShapefileStore.__init__): Use an
+         AutoTransientTable so that data is copied to the transient DB on
+         demand.
+         (SimpleStore): New class that simply combines a table and a
+         shapefile
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py (Table, DBFTable): Rename Table into
+         DBFTable and update its doc-string to reflect the fact that this
+         is only the table interface to a DBF file. Table is now an alias
+         for DBFTable for temporary backwards compatibility.
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnExit): Make sure
+         the last reference to the session goes away so that the temporary
+         files are removed properly.
+         * test/test_load.py (LoadSessionTest.tearDown): Remove the
+         reference to the session to make sure the temporary files are
+         removed.
+-04-29  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (XMLReader.__init__, XMLReader.read): Turn
+         the __parser instance variable into a normal local variable in
+         read. It's only used there and read will never be called more than
+         once. Plus it introduces a reference cycle that keeps can keep the
+         session object alive for a long time.
+-04-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/proj.py (Projection): Removed Set*() methods to make
+         Projection an immutable item. Fixes RTbug #1825.
+         (Projection.__init__): Initialize instance variables here.
+         (ProjFile.Replace): New. Replace the given projection object with
+         the new projection object. This solves the problem of needing the
+         mutator Projection.SetProjection() in the ProjFrame class and
+         allows a projection to change parameters without changing its
+         location in the file.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.SaveSessionAs): Dialog should
+         be of type wxSAVE and should verify overwriting a file.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame._OnSave): Use the new
+         ProjFile.Replace() method instead of the mutator
+         Projection.SetProjection(). Also requires that we reassign the
+         client data to the new projection.
+         * test/test_proj.py (TestProjection.test): Test GetName() and
+         GetAllParameters()
+         (TestProjFile.test): Remove tests for Set*() methods. Add tests
+         for Replace().
+-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

+         (Projection.SetProjection): New. Set the projection's
+         properties to those of the supplied Projection.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.MapProjection): Set
+         the dialog title to include the map's title.
+         (MainWindow.LayerProjection): Set the dialog title to include
+         the layer's title.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.__ShowError): Consolidate
+         error dialogs into a single method call.
+         (ProjFrame.__VerifyButtons): Add more states to check.
+         (ProjFrame.__GetProjection): Return the current state of an

+         shouldn't exist.
+         (ProjFrame._OnNew): Clear all selected items and supply
+         a projection panel if necessary.
+         * test/test_proj.py (TestProjFile.test): Add tests for
+         ProjFile.SetAllParameters, ProjFile.SetProjection,
+         ProjFile.SetName.
+-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.__FillAvailList): Now
+         takes an optional argument to select the current projection.

+         limited wxWindows functionality. Fixes RTBug #1821.
+-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_projection): Remember

+         object.
+         * Thuban/Model/proj.py (Projection.__init__): Change the default
+         value for 'name' to None and then test if name is equal to None
+         in the body of the constructor. This way the caller doesn't have to
+         know what the default value should be. Namely, useful in load.py
+         where we have to pick a default value if the 'name' parameter
+         doesn't exist in the XML file.
+         * test/test_load.py (LoadSessionTest.testLayerProjection): New.
+         Tests a file where a layer has a projection.
+-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

+         (SessionLoader): Added support for loading projection tags that
+         appear inside a layer.
+         * Thuban/Model/proj.py (ProjFile): Document the class. Move
+         back to using a list because the order of the projections in
+         the file is important to maintain. Fixes RTbug #1817.
+         * Thuban/Model/resource.py: Rename calls to ProjFile.GetFileName
+         to ProjFile.GetFilename.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_layer): Save projection
+         information.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame._OnAddToList): Renamed from

+         implementation.
+         (ProjFrame._OnExport): Add support for exporting more than one
+         projection to a single file.
+         (ProjFrame.__FillAvailList): use string formatting (% operator)
+         to build strings that are (partly) translated. Fixes RTbug #1818.
+         * test/test_proj.py (TestProjFile.test): New. Tests the base ProjFile

+         * Thuban/Model/proj.py (Projection.SetName): New. Allows the
+         name of the projection to be changed.
+         (ProjFile): Use a dictionary instead of a list so that removing
+         projections is easier and we are sure about uniqueness.
+         (ProjFile.Remove): Remove the given projection object.
+         * Thuban/Model/resource.py (GetSystemProjFiles, GetUserProjFiles):
+         Return a list with only one projection file instead of searching for
+         any projection file. This simplifies many things if the user can
+         only have one system file and one user file.
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py: Change all references to
+         genCombo to genChoice.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Add a Projection option under the
+         layer menu.
+         (MainWindow.LayerProjection): New. Open up a projection window
+         for a layer.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py: Large changes to how the dialog is
+         laid out. Use three panels instead of one. One for the list of
+         projections, one for the edit controls, and one for the buttons.
+         Fixed resizing problems so that the dialog resizes correctly
+         when the projection panel changes. Added import/export, save, and
+         new buttons/functionality.

+         * Thuban/Model/resource.py: Use XMLReader and XMLWriter.
+         (GetProjFiles): Renamed from GetProjections. Now returns a list
+         of ProjFile objects.

+         promote symmetry.
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (ClassGenDialog.__init__): Use a wxChoice
+         control instead of a wxComboBox. wxChoice controls do not generate
+         events as the uses highlights possible choices which fixes problems
+         with resizing the dialog when the use selects an option.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): Use a wxChoice
+         control instead of a wxComboBox.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.Projection): Use new projection

+-04-17  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py: Don't import LAYER_LEGEND_CHANGED.
+         (Layer): Update doc-string since LAYER_LEGEND_CHANGED is not used
+         anymore.
+         (Layer.BoundingBox, Layer.GetFieldType, Layer.NumShapes)
+         (Layer.ShapeType, Layer.Shape): No need to call
+         self.open_shapefile since it's always called in __init__
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.MainLoop): Removed.
+         In wxPython 2.4 there's no need to extend MainLoop anymore since
+         wxPython itself makes sure OnExit is called.
+-04-16  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         Initial putback of projection management code. Includes new
+         classes to read and write projection files. The current load
+         and save classes were abstracted a bit so they could be reused.
+         The Projection class was extended to provide new methods and
+         have a name.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (XMLProcessor): New. Contains all the

+         file read and write functions.
+-04-16  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Use repr() around values
+         in the ClassGroup*.__repr__() methods so it is clearer when
+         a value is a string and when it is a number.
+         * test/test_load.py: Rework the classification test to test
+         that we can load old files.
+         (testLabels): Test a file where the groups have labels.

+         and redefine its purpose to return the pointer stored in a CObject
+         returned by the object's cobject method. Update all callers.
+         (s_draw_info, free_draw_info, draw_polygon_init): Implement the
+         handling of these low-level parameters so that each s_draw_info
+         instance is handled as a CObject at python level that also
+         contains real references to the actual python objects which
+         contain the values in the struct. Add free_draw_info as the
+         destructor.
+         (draw_polygon_shape): Add the py_draw_info parameter which must a
+         cobject containing an s_draw_info pointer.

+         method to instantiat the low-level render parameter
+         (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Use the new method. Remove some
+         commented out code.
+         (MapRenderer.draw_polygon_shape): Make the first parameter not the
+         layer but the low-level render parameter
+         (ScreenRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Use the low-level render
+         parameter.

+         to improve rendering performance by initializing the variables
+         that are not change each time draw_polygon_shape() is called.
+         The values are stored in a global struct draw_info.
+         (draw_polygon_shape): Removed initialization code that is

+         finalize the intialization of the panel.
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py (DockPanel.Create): New. Finalizes the

+         initializer of a subclass.
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (ClassGenDialog.__init__): Actively
+         set the current selections in the combo boxes. This is needed
+         under Windows.

+         level panel to the dialog so that the background colors are
+         consistent under Windows.
+-04-11  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

+-04-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: (ClassGroup): Move all the common

+         editing of a group properties class into a wxWindows control.
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py: It was decided that if the user closes

+         way if the user wants to show the dock again it appears in the
+         same place as it was when it was closed.
+         (DockableWindow.Destroy): Call renamed method OnDockDestroy().

+-04-07  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         Since we now say that the order of the groups in a classification
+         matters, it makes sense to be able to manipulate that order. Most
+         of the changes to Thuban/Model/classification.py are to that end.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (Classification.AppendGroup,
+         Classification.InsertGroup, Classification.ReplaceGroup,
+         Classification.RemoveGroup, Classification.GetGroup): Do as the
+         names imply.
+         (Classification.FindGroup): This was called GetGroup, but GetGroup
+         takes an index, while FindGroup takes a value.
+         (Classification.__deepcopy__): Copy all the groups, BUT NOT THE LAYER
+         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.
+         * test/test_classification.py: Use support.run_tests instead of
+         unittest.main so we get memory leak information
+         (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
+         session again
+         * 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
+         that there actually are points in the returned list of points
+         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.

+-03-31  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Commented out some debugging statements.
+         (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

+         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

+         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.

+         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

+         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
+         close a window. Needed when a session changes, and we have to
+         close the classifier windows.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.prepare_new_session):
+         Shuts down open dialogs. Used when a new session is created
+         or a session is opened.
+         (MainWindow.SaveSession): Should only call application.SaveSession()
+         if we don't call SaveSessionAs first.
+         (MainWindow.Classify): Allow different classifier dialogs for
+         different layers.
+         * Thuban/UI/tree.py (SessionTreeView): Remove OnClose and let
+         the parent class handle it. Add Shutdown() to unsubscibe from
+         event notification and call the parent Shutdown(). This was
+         necessary so the application can close the tree window.
+-03-06  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Minor documentation changes,
+         Addition of __eq__ and __ne__ methods.

+         and Layer.SetClassification().
+         * Thuban/Model/color.py: Addition of __eq__ and __ne__ methods.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (SetClassification): prevent recursion
+         between this method and Classification.SetLayer().
+         * test/test_classification.py, test/test_load.py,
+         test/test_session.py: Fixed and added tests for the classification
+         classes.
+-03-06  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (ClassGrid.__init__)

+         column information when it is requested. Add "None" field
+         to pull-down to select no classification.
+         * Thuban/common.py: Moved FIELDTYPE constants from table.py
+         (Str2Num): Only catch ValueError exceptions.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Class documentation. Renaming
+         of methods with Stroke to Line. Groups are stored in a single
+         list with the default as the first element. Groups are searched
+         in the order they appear in the list.
+         * Thuban/Model/color.py: Documentation.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer): Add GetFieldType to retreive
+         the kind of data represented by a field.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (ProcessSession): Use proper string
+         conversion function; fixes RTbug #1713.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (Saver): Store field type information.
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py: Put FIELDTYPE constants in common.py.
+         (Table): Add field_info_by_name() to retrieve field information
+         by specifying the field name, not the number.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Function name changes.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Only
+         get the layer classification once. Don't try to classify
+         values when the field is None: just use the default properties.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py: Function name changes.
+         * Doc/thuban.dtd: Add field_type attribute to a classification.
+-03-04  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

+         the fill and stroke layer attributes optional with suitable
+         default values. Add the stroke_width layer attribute. Use correct
+         syntax for empty elements. Make the attribute list for labels
+         refer to the label element.
+-03-04  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py (thuban_build_py.build): Add a comment about distutils in
+         Python 2.3 containing some of the functionality we implement in
+         setup.py ourselves.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (ClassGrid.__init__): Set the table
+         before the selection mode. Doing it the other way round triggers
+         an assertion in wxWindows.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (escape): Fix typo in doc-string
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Remove unnecessary wxPython
+         import
+-03-04  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (ClassGroupRange.GetProperties):
+         Parameter 'value' should default to None.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Use Layer.GetClassification() since
+         the class attribute __classification is now private.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (ClassGrid): Moved OnCellDClick() from
+         Classifier to ClassGrid. Added support for removing selected rows,
+         which including code for keeping track of when cells are selected,
+         and deselected.
+         (ClassTable): Support for added/removing rows. Fixed a problem
+         with __ParseInput whereby it would not allow strings (only numbers)
+         to be entered.
+         (Classifier): Added button and supporting code for removing
+         selected rows.
+-02-27  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/common.py: Moved color conversion functions into
+         Thuban/UI/common.py.
+         (Str2Num): Now converts the float (not the string) to a long/int
+         so that an exception isn't thrown.
+         * Thuban/UI/common.py: Common functions used in several UI modules
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Changed the class hierarchy
+         so that a Classification consists of Groups which return
+         Properties when a value matches a Group.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py: Fixed name resolution problem.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py: Use new Classification and Group functions.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (Saver.write_attribs): Fixes a test case
+         failure.

+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (Classification): Added getNull()
+         to return the NullData reference
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.SetFill, Layer.SetStroke,
+         Layer.SetStrokeWidth): Modified these functions to change the
+         null data in the classification rather than keep these values
+         directly in the Layer class. Menu options to change these values
+         work again.
+-01-28  Jonathan Coles  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier): Resolved merging conflicts.
+         Fixed crashing problem on some systems. Dialog box shows
+         classification data.

+         Colors in the tree view.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.TreeInfo): Added a call to build

+-09-11  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Underline the 'x' in "Exit" instead of

+         (Table.write_record): Open the DBF file for writing when necessary
+-08-27  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py (Table.write_record, Table.__init__): Open

+         callback into a separate function so that we can reuse it
+         elsewhere
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (Saver): New class to handle serializing a
+         session into an XML file. The main reason to introduce a class is
+         that applications built on Thuban can derive from it so that they
+         can save additional information in a session file.
+         (save_session): Delegate almost all the work to the Saver class.
+         Rename the filename argument to file because it may be a file like
+         object now.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py: Get rid of the Python 1.5.2 compatibility
+         code. Remove the little test code which would be executed when the

+         import the other Thuban modules.
+         (ProcessSession, load_session): Refactor the ProcessSession to
+         have one method for each element start and end tag so that derived
+         classes can easily override the processing of individual tags.
+         Also, always parse with namespaces enabled because applications
+         built on top of Thuban will likely use namespaces if they extend
+         the session file format.
+-08-21  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py (ThubanInstall.run): Don't repr install_lib_orig
+         because thubaninit_contents will do it for us.

+         (InstallLocal.finalize_options, InstallLocal.user_options): New
+         option create-init-file to build a thubaninit.py when running

+         (InstallLocal.run): Create the thubaninit.py module when requested
+         (thubaninit_contents): Split the template into several parts and
+         create a new function thubaninit_contents that creates the
+         contents of a thubaninit module.
+         (ThubanInstall.run): Use the new function to create the thubaninit
+         module.
+-07-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnExit): Do some

+-02-15  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.Shape): list append only takes one
+         argument (python <= 1.5.2 erroneously accepted multiuple
+         arguments)
+-02-04  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/identifyview.py (IdentifyGridCtrl): New class to use a
+         RecordGrid in the identifyview.

+         implementing a grid for a single row of a thuban table.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.SelectShapeAt): Search through all
+         layers by default. Easier to use than the previous default of only
+         searching through the select layer which meant that if no layer
+         was selected, you couldn't select a shape.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (TableGrid.__init__): Fix typo
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Honour the

+         instance variable stroke_width
+         (Layer.SetStrokeWidth): Set the stroke_width.
+-02-01  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (project_points): Fix two
+         off-by-one errors in the last loop that joins the various parts
+         together.
+-01-14  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py (data_dist.make_distribution): Fix some typos
+-09-18  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * README: Slight tweaking in preparation for the 0.1 release
+         * setup.cfg: Add section for sdist to create both tgz and zip
+         archives
+         * setup.py: increase version number to 0.1
+         (data_dist): New command class for data distribution
+-09-14  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/identifyview.py (IdentifyListCtrl.selected_shape):
+         Handle the case of no layer (i.e. layer is None) properly.
+         * Thuban/UI/proj4dialog.py (UTMDialog.__init__, Proj4Dialog.__init__):
+         Set the initial selection of the combo boxes to reflect the
+         projection we're starting with in a way that works on windows,
+         too.
+         * Thuban/Lib/connector.py (Connector.print_connections): Print the
+         puiblisher's ids in hex to make it easier to compare them to the
+         standard repr of python methods
+         * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map.Destroy): Unsubscribe the label_layer
+         messages
+-09-13  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/tree.py (SessionTreeCtrl.OnSelChanged): Make sure to
+         deselect the layer if no layer is selected
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.OnPaint): Only delay drawing to
+         idle time when there actually is something to draw. If there's
+         nothing to draw simply clear the window
+         (MapCanvas.do_redraw): Call dc.EndDrawing and add some comments.
+         (MapCanvas.SetMap): force a redraw in all cases because
+         FitMapToWindow doesn't always do it.
+         (MapCanvas.ZoomFactor): Add an optional parameter, center, to
+         specify the point to move into the center of the window
+         (ZoomOutTool.MouseUp, ZoomInTool.MouseUp): If the mouse wasn't
+         dragged, zoon in/out by a factor of 2
+         (MapCanvas.find_shape_at): Iterate backwards (i.e. with decreasing
+         index, i.e. reversed drawing order) so that objects appearing to
+         be in from of others are selected first. This is probably mostly
+         relevant for point shapes where the symbols used may overlap
+         * Thuban/Model/session.py (create_empty_session): Unset the
+         modified bit before returning it
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.NewSession): Use
+         create_empty_session session to create the new, empty session.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.__init__): Set the size of
+         the tool bitmaps.
+         (MainWindow.OnClose, MainWindow.save_modified_session): Separate
+         the code that asks whether the session should be saved into the
+         new method save_modified_session.
+         (MainWindow.OpenSession, MainWindow.NewSession): Use the new
+         method to save modified session here too.
