+-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.

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

+         (Classifier._OnOK): Renamed to OnOK to support parent class.
+         (Classifier._OnRevert): Renamed to OnRevert to support parent class.
+         * Thuban/UI/layerproperties.py: New. Base class for layer properties
+         dialog boxes.
+         * Thuban/UI/rasterlayerproperties.py: New. Class for displaying
+         raster layer properties.
+         * libraries/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp: Replace the old gdalwarp.cpp code
+         with the non-simple version supplied with gdal. This allows added
+         features such as creating an alpha band.
+         (GetImageData): Generate a mask array from the alpha band that is
+         generated by gdal if the user has selected it. Try to support images
+         that have more than three bands, such as images with RGB plus an
+         alpha band.
+         (ProjectRasterFile): Convert python argument for mask and tell
+         gdal to enable or disable an alpha band.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (BaseLayer.Type): New. Returns a string
+         describing what kind of layer the class is. Defaults to "Unknown",
+         but should be overridden by subclasses.
+         (Layer.Type): New. Override base class method.
+         (RasterLayer.__init__): Create a flag for using a mask. Record extra
+         data from gdal for display in the properties dialog.
+         (RasterLayer.Type): New. Override base class method.
+         (RasterLayer.UseMask): New. Returns True if the mask should be used.
+         (RasterLayer.SetUseMask): New. Set if the mask should be used.
+         (RasterLayer.ImageInfo): New. Return extra information about the image.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_rasterlayer): Load
+         the mask information.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_layer): Save mask information.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Register the RasterLayerProperties and
+         Classifier classes as dialogs to use with the proper layer types.
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (TestBaseRenderer.test_raster_no_projection):
+         Fix test.
+         * test/test_layer.py (TestLayer.test_raster_layer): Test new methods.
+         (TestLayerModification.build_path): New. Support function.
+         (TestLayerModification.test_raster_layer): New. Test new methods.
+         * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest.testRasterLayer): Add tests for mask.
+         * test/test_load.py (TestRasterLayer): Add tests for mask.
+         * test/test_load_1_0_1.py: New. Copied from test_load.py.
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (SimpleRenderer.draw_raster_data): Removed
+         obsolete optional mask argument.
+-01-26  Nina H�ffmeyer <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrshapes.py: Added two dictionaries to ShapeStore
+         which maps the ids and the ordinals. Fixed RowIdToOrdinal(),
+         RowOrdinalToId() and ReadRowAsDict().
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrstart.py: Added menu item which opens database
+         layers for existing database connections.
+         * Extensions/ogr/test/test_OGRShapestore.py: Fixed a message string.
+-01-26  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual-de.xml: More translations.
+-01-24  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Rework the status bar updates a bit to make sure the message about
+         the projections is produced at the right times.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.update_status_bar_messages):
+         New class variable with messages that may require a status bar
+         update.
+         (MainWindow.view_position_changed)
+         (MainWindow.update_status_bar): Rename from view_position_changed
+         to update_status_bar.  It's meaning has changed now that it may
+         also generate messages about problems with projection settings.
+         (MainWindow.__init__): Use the new update_status_bar_messages
+         class variable to subscribe update_status_bar
+         (MainWindow.set_position_text): Update doc-string.  This method
+         has to be renamed at some point.  See doc-string and comments.
+         (MainWindow.OnClose): Unsubscribe update_status_bar from all
+         messages in update_status_bar_messages
+         * Thuban/UI/viewport.py (ViewPort.forwarded_map_messages): New
+         class attribute.  map messages to be forwarded by the viewport.
+         (ViewPort._subscribe_map, ViewPort._unsubscribe_map): (un)subscribe
+         the messages in forwarded_map_messages
+-01-21  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/postgissupport.py (PostGISDatabase.__init__): Tweak
+         doc-string
+         (find_postgis_sql): Update for postgis-1.0.0-rc1, which uses a
+         different name for the initialization SQL file.
+-01-21  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py (proj_params_to_str): New. Takes
+         a projection and returns a formatted string representing the
+         parameters to feed to gdalwarp. This function eliminates
+         redundancy in draw_raster_layer().
+         (BaseRenderer.render_map_incrementally): Removed the optimization which
+         drew the top most raster layer first and then only those vector-
+         based layers that are above it. With the support for transparency
+         this optimization breaks correct behaviour.
+         (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_layer): Reorganize code to support possible
+         future enhancements to raster layer bounding box. The old behaviour has
+         not changed. Also, change calling parameters to draw_raster_data()
+         to specify new RAW data format and mask.
+         (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_data): Change signature to include an optional
+         parameter for mask information. Change documentation to mention
+         support for new parameter and added option for RAW data format.
+         The data argument is now a list of [width, height, data].
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_raster_data): Add new optional
+         mask parameter. Add new condition for RAW format, which
+         significantly reduces rendering time. Add condition for
+         mask parameter.
+         * libraries/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp (GetImageData): New. Creates a
+         data array of RGB values from the projected image returned from
+         the gdal warping functions. In the case of palette based images, it
+         converts the NO_DATA index to the mask color.
+         (ProjectRasterFile): Removed all custom memory driver references
+         and replaced it with the standard in-memory dataset provided
+         by gdal. The return data is no longer a BMP file, but an array
+         of RGB values, one set triple per pixel.
+         * libraries/thuban/bmpdataset.cpp: Removed. Unnecessary.
+         * libraries/thuban/cpl_mfile.h: Removed. Unnecessary.
+         * libraries/thuban/cpl_mfile.cpp: Removed. Unnecessary.
+         * setup.py (thuban_build_ext.finalize_options): Removed mention
+         of cpl_mfile.cpp and bmpdataset.cpp files in the list of source
+         files. These are obsolete with the new version of gdalwarp.cpp
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (SimpleRenderer.draw_raster_data):
+         Updated signature.
+         (TestBaseRenderer.test_raster_no_projection): Changed the test
+         data to be data in the uncompressed RAW format returned from
+         ProjectRasterFile.
+-01-21  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.view_position_changed): Made
+         string available for i18n.
+-01-20  Russell Nelson  <[email protected]>
+         * Resources/Projections/defaults.proj: Ruin the speling of the
+         Lambert-93 projection so it doesn't run into the wx UTF-8 bug.
+         It's the wrong thing to do in the long run, but it's necessary for
+         those users until that bug is fixed.  Otherwise the projection
+         dialog segfaults.  Better to annoy some Lambert-93 users with a
+         spelling mistake than every Fedora Core 3 user of Thuban-CVS.
+-01-20  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.view_position_changed): Added
+         docstring and comment that the warning code here is a hack.
+-01-20  Russell Nelson  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.view_position_changed): Warn
+         user about misprojected layers when their lat/lon bounding
+         box exceeds rational lat/lon values.
+-01-20  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py (unicodeToLocale): Improved:
+         Use 'ascii' and then 'replace' for other characters
+         when getdefaultlocale returns None. Thanks to Bernhard H. .
+-01-20  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (GenQuantilesPanel.OnRetrieve): Added a comment
+         that OnRangeText might be called twice and using None as argument.
+-01-20  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (GenQuantilesPanel.OnRetrieve): Add a
+         OnRangeText(0) to work around a different in wx Behaviour noticed
+         on MacOSX, thanks to Lorenzo Moretti and Daniel Calvelo for the fix.
+-01-20  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py: take iso-8859-15 when getdefaultlocale returns
+         None. (Fixes rt#2910.)
+-01-18  Frank Koormann <[email protected]>
+         New Extension: mouseposition
+         Tool to collect mouse click positions (map coordinates) in a dialog.
+         * Extensions/mouseposition/__init__.py: New, extension registration
+         * Extensions/mouseposition/mouseposition.py: New, implements the
+         dialog and adds a tool to Thuban mainwindow.
+         * Extensions/mouseposition/position.xpm: New, icon for tool.
+-01-14  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual-de.xml: More translations.
+-01-11  Frank Koormann <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.DuplicateLayer):

+-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]>

+         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

+         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

+-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

+         (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.

+         self.path('alt_path') is implemented here.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.__init__): Added shapefile_callback.
+         (SessionLoader.open_shapefile): Open shapefile, eventually with
+         alternative path. This wrapps the "theSession.OpenShapefile(filename)"

+         (SessionLoader.start_fileshapesource): Call open_shapefile().
+         (SessionLoader.start_layer): Call open_shapefile().
+         (load_session): Added shapefile_callback.

+-12-11  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+          svgexport 0.9.2: Point size supports for maps.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/svgmapwriter.py: Added import of SHAPETYPE_POINT

+-12-11  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         Made sure that newlines are inserted in the svg path d attributes

+         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.

+         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

+         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

+         Also removed the "import Thuban" which makes no sense.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/__init__.py: Fix to have the extensions'
+         test module also be executed from the global test routine.
+         This is done by looking for the absense of the DISPLAY variable.

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

+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mapfile.py: Added some new
+         settings to edit (outputformat, label, imagetype)
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_handle.py: Added some setting to
+         the Label Dialog and add the OutputDialog.
+         Make some changes to the code order.
+-07-06  Jan Sch�ngel <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mapfile.py: Added the symbolObj, pointObj
+         and line Obj and add the scalebar_status_type, scalebar_style_type and
+         scalebar_position_type.
+         Added the symbol- and symbolsetObject (MF_Symbol,MF_Symbolset). The
+         are only used to create a Symbol like the circle in Thuban.
+         Added the scalebarObject (MF_Scalebar)
+         (MF_Class): Added set_status and get_status.
+         (MF_Layer.add_thubanclass): Added code to set the class status

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

+         moment.
+         (MF_Class.set_thubanstyle): Now point layers will set to a default
+         symbol to show a circle in mapserver and not only a 1px dot.

+         more details to setup the sample in the MapServer.
+-06-26  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/svgexport/test/test_svgmapwriter.py:
+         Removed class VFile and used standard StringIO instead.
+-06-23  Jan Sch�ngel  <[email protected]>
+         Add the export function to the umn_mapserver extension.
+         * Extension/umn_mapserver/mf_export.py: New. This module extents
+         Thuban with the possibility to export the Thuban content.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mapfile.py: Expand the classes to use

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

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

+         (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

+         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

+         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):

+         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]>

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

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

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

+         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

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

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

+         systems to create in the new db.
+         (PostgreSQLServer.new_postgis_db)
+         (PostgreSQLServer.get_static_data_db): New parameter

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

+         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

+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.check_attrs): If no
+         converter is specified for an attribute assume it's a string

+         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.

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

+         collected the loader eventually but it can happen that it doesn't
+         run at all until thuban is closed (2.3 but not 2.2 tries a bit
+         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.
+         shapestores and the session which can lead to leaks (of e.g. the
+         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
+         database takes so long that using sqlite doesn't have enough
+         advantages.
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (TransientTableBase.ValueRange): Add

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

+         fashion
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame): Substantial changes
+         throughout the class. The main change is to use the ProjectionList

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

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

+         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)

+         (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,

+         (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.

+         * 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

+-07-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

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

+         * 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

+         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.

+         records are saved. Fixes RTbug #1997.
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.ShowExceptionDialog):
+         Port exception dialog from GREAT-ER. Fixes RTbug #1993.

+         is now updated even when the table is not associated with a

+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py (generate_singletons,

+-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/load.py (SessionLoader.start_clrange): Fix

+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.SetClassification): Switch
+         the classification instance variable to the new class
+         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

+-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.

+         is only listed once.
+         * test/test_load.py (TestJoinedTable.test): Add check_format call.
+         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.

+         (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().

+         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()

+-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  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  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

+         (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.

+         first time.
+         The dialog used to work without this by luck. The recent fix to

+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.TreeInfo): Added filename.
+-05-22  Frank Koormann  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (TransientJoinedTable.__init__):

+         There is still some work that needs to be done, such as some error

+         projecting the image. This putback simply checks in the majority
+         of the work.
+         * setup.py: Add gdalwarp library extension.

+         (SessionSaver.write_layer): Add support for writing both Layers
+         and RasterLayers.
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (AutoTransientTable.SimpleQuery):

+         This is namely a collection of UI updates to improve user interactivity.
+         Tabbing between controls now exists and you can use ESC to close dialog
+         boxes; ENTER will active the default button.
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (ClassGenDialog.__init__): Rearrange the
+         order that the controls are created so that tabbing works correctly.
+         (ClassGenDialog.OnOK): Renamed from _OnGenerate() so that the
+         wxDialog can handle the default button correctly.
+         (ClassGenDialog.OnCancel): Renamed from _OnCloseBtn() for the
+         same reasons as for OnOK.
+         (GenUniformPanel._OnRetrieve): Call wxBeginBusyCursor/wxEndBusyCursor
+         when we ask the table for the maximum/minimum values of a field
+         which could take a very long time.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): Rearrange the
+         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
+         selected rows to match the selected shapes.
+-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.

+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Remove all uses of Str2Num.
+         (ClassTable.SetValueAsCustom): Rename keyword argument in
+         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.
+         (Layer.__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
+         legend dialog box and tell it to change its map to the one
+         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]>

+-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/proj.py (Projection.SetName): Set the name

+         (Projection.SetAllParameters): New. Set the projection's
+         parameter list to the one supplied.
+         (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
+         edited projection or None.
+         (ProjFrame.__FillAvailList): Remove checks for states that
+         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.
+         This does not guarantee that the item is visible due to
+         limited wxWindows functionality. Fixes RTBug #1821.
+-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_projection): Remember
+         the projection name and use it when constructing the Projection
+         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]>
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.TreeInfo): Add an item to the

+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (XMLReader.GetFilename): Renamed from
+         XMLReader.GetFileName.
+         (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
+         ProjFrame._OnSaveAs. Removed old dead code from previous
+         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
+         class.
+-04-24  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * po/es.po: Updated Spanish translation by Daniel Calvelo Aros
+         * po/fr.po: New. French translation by Daniel Calvelo Aros

+-04-24  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.GetProjection): New. Needed to
+         implement the interface that the ProjFrame dialog expects.
+         * 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.
+-04-24  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

+         (XMLReader.endElementNS): Updated to use new dispatcher dictionary.
+         (SessionLoader): Removed class variables start_dispatcher and
+         end_dispatcher since this functionality is now part of a class
+         instance. Fixes RTbug #1808.
+         (SessionLoader.__init__): Add dispatcher functions.
+         (load_xmlfile): Code was moved into the XMLReader.read().

+         promote symmetry.
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (ClassGenDialog.__init__): Use a wxChoice

+         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

+         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.

+         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

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

+         editing of a group properties class into a wxWindows control.
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py: It was decided that if the user closes
+         a dockable window the window should simply hide itself. That
+         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.

+         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 *

+         (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

+         its children.
+         (DockFrame): Listen for EVT_CLOSE and destroy all children.

+         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]>

+         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

+         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__)
+         (ClassGrid.CreateTable): Move the SetSelectionMode call to
+         CreateTable because otherwise it triggers an assertion in
+         wxPython/wxGTK 2.4.
+-03-05  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/common.py: Move FIELDTYPE constants back to table.py.

+         Fixed RTbug #1713, #1714. Added Move[Up|Down] buttons.
+         Store just the groups in the table and generate the other
+         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]>
+         * Doc/thuban.dtd: Use correct syntax for optional attributes. Make
+         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/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

+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.RunMessageBox): Center the
+         message box on the main window.
+-09-11  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Underline the 'x' in "Exit" instead of

+         writing
+         (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

+         commit any changes made to the DBF file.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (make_check_current_tool)
+         (_tool_command): Put the code that generates the "checked"
+         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.

+         when we have actually captured it.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.Destroy): New. Explicitly close the
+         shapefile and destroy the table.
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py (Table.Destroy): New. Close the DBF file.

          (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
