+-06-27 Frank Koormann <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/version.py: Bugfix determination of SQLite on old systems.
+-05-17 Didrik Pinte <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/ogr/__init__.py : updated test for win32 and correct
+         imports
+-05-15 Didrik Pinte <[email protected]>
+         Ashamed ... still some tabs in the files
+   * Thuban/version.py : tabs removed
+   * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py : tabs removed
+-05-15 Didrik Pinte <[email protected]>
+   * Thuban/version.py : coding style correction
+   * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py : coding style correction
+-05-15 Didrik Pinte <[email protected]>
+   * Thuban/version.py : Updated imports to support pysqlite2
+   * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py : Updated imports to support pysqlite2
+         Patched the querying system to support the param style of pysqlite2
+-04-24 Didrik Pinte <[email protected]>
+   * Extensions/svgexport/__init__.py: The extension now works on win32
+         architecture. Bug #87 corrected.
+-04-20 Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/technotes/coding_guidelines.txt: Changed text from CVS to SVN.
+         Removed emacs specific hint and replaced it with a general hint
+         that editors might support writing changelogs.
+-04-12 Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/version.py: Changed thuban_release mechanism to use "svn"
+         instead of "cvs".
+-03-31  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp: including proj_api.h instead of
+         projects.h now. According the Frank Warmerdam and man pj_init
+         this is the public interface to proj. Thus I have changed PJ to projPJ.
+         And I could remove the hack to avoid clashes with typedef PVALUE
+         and #define LP in projects.h clashing with symbols when trying to
+         build on windows. The file is cleaner and nicer now.
+-03-29  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp: undef LP to avoid clash when
+         trying to build with mingw.
+-10-18  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py: remove unused import of getdefaultlocale.
+         Added display of internal encoding to the about dialog text.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/__init__.py: changed version to "1.0.0+cvs".
+-10-18  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         Startup improved: We fail right away if the internal encoding could
+         not be determined.
+         * Thuban/__init__.py (get_internal_encoding): new.
+         * test/test_stringrepresentation.py (class TestInternalEncoding):
+         Preserve the internal encoding for the tests in this class.
+-10-17  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_stringrepresentation.py: New file, for now testing
+         that set_internal_coding() is throwing an exception for bad exceptions.
+         * Thuban/__init__.py (set_internal_encoding): added a forwards
+         and backward translation, so that we fail early if the
+         internal_encoding is bad.
+-10-17  Bernhard Reiter <[email protected]>
+         svgexport 1.0.0cvs: Fixed ARC layer writing: No filling is done.
+         You could actually get polylines with filling in between,
+         when the classification for the lines had a fill color.
+         E.g. this happens when you generate a classification from a ramp.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/test/test_svgmapwriter.py:
+         New test_export_arc_no_fill(). Extend copyright notice to 2005.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/svgmapwriter.py
+         (SVGRenderer.draw_shape_layer_incrementally()):
+         Setting TRANSPARENT_BRUSH for shaptype ARC.
+         Extend copyright notice to 2005.
+         * Extensions/svgexport/__init__.py: Extend copyright notice to 2005.

+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual.xml (Map Management): Fixed typo reported
+         by Erik (sigra.at.home.se)
+-08-18  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (ScreenRenderer.draw_selection_incrementally):
+         Call the right method for the default size.
+-08-11  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/export_shapefile: New.
+         * Extensions/export_shapefile/__init__.py: New. Initialize
+         the export_shapefile extension.
+         * Extensions/export_shapefile/export_shapefile.py: New.
+         Exports a layer as a Shapefile.
+-08-08  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * po/de.po: String fixes. This fixes Debian bug #313843.
+-07-27  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Remove the attributes from the layer element in
+         .thuban files for the save routine.
+         This also solves RT bug #3149,
+         https://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=3149
+         * test/test_load.py: (TestSingleLayer, TestNonAsciiColumnName,
+         TestLayerVisibility, TestSymbolSize, TestClassification, TestLabels,
+         TestLayerProjection, TestJoinedTable, TestLabelLayer): Removed
+         attributes from layer element to classification clnull element.
+         * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest.testSingleLayer,
+         SaveSessionTest.testLayerProjection,
+         SaveSessionTest.testClassifiedLayer,
+         SaveSessionTest.test_joined_table, SaveSessionTest.test_save_postgis):
+         Removed attributes from layer element to classification clnull element.
+         (test_save_postgis.NonConnectionStore._fetch_table_information):
+         added pretending to have a shape_type.
+         * Resources/XML/thuban-1.1.dtd: Make the attributes field
+         and field_type of classification optional.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (Classification.TreeItem.build_info):
+         Added output of size.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_classification):
+         Change attribute 'field' and 'field_type' from obligatory to
+         optional to allow empty classes (ie.  only with a default=clnull).
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_layer): Don't write
+         any attributes anymore for the layer element.
+         (SessionSaver.write_classification): Even if there is no
+         classification field, still write the classification because
+         the clnull (default) symbol will not be defined anymore as
+         part of the layer element.
+-07-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py (setup call): Version 1.1.0
+         * NEWS: Update for 1.1.0
+         * MANIFEST.in: Add *.txt to files taken from Doc.  Otherwise the
+         technores won't be included
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py (About.__init__): Extend copyright notice to
+         * po/de.po: Updated.
+-07-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * README: gdal 1.1.8 is too old.  1.2.5 works.
+-07-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Resources/XML/thuban-1.1.dtd (rasterlayer): Add the opacity and
+         masktype attributes.
+-07-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.__mangle_bounding_box)
+         (Layer.ClipBoundingBox): Rename ClipBoundingBox to
+         __mangle_bounding_box.  See the comments in the code and RT #2845
+         * test/test_layer.py (TestLayer.test_arc_layer_with_projection):
+         Remove the explicit test of ClipBoundingBox.  The method isn't
+         public anymore and the direct call in the test wasn't necessary in
+         the first place.  If ClipBoundingBox (now __mangle_bounding_box)
+         isn't called, the return value of ShapesInRegion will be
+         different.
+-07-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/viewport.py (ViewPort.set_view_transform): Handle
+         ZeroDivisionError exceptions.  I don't know when they happen
+         exactly.  It probably happens when the projections aren't set
+         properly.
+-07-01  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         First step towards unicode.  With this roughly we're at step 1
+         string_representation.txt
+         * Doc/technotes/string_representation.txt: New.  Document how
+         strings are represented in Thuban and how to get to a Unicode
+         Thuban.
+         * Thuban/__init__.py (set_internal_encoding)
+         (unicode_from_internal, internal_from_unicode): New. The first few
+         functions for the internal string representation
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py (unicodeToLocale): Removed.  Use
+         internal_from_unicode instead.
+         * Thuban/UI/__init__.py (install_wx_translation): Determine the
+         encoding to use for the internal string representation.  Also,
+         change the translation function to return strings in internal
+         representation even on unicode builds of wxPython
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.check_attrs): Decode
+         filenames too.
+         (SessionLoader.start_clrange): Use check_attrs to decode and check
+         the attributes.
+         * Thuban/Model/xmlreader.py (XMLReader.encode): Use
+         internal_from_unicode to convert unicode strings.
+         * Thuban/Model/xmlwriter.py (XMLWriter.encode): Use
+         unicode_from_internal when applicable
+         * test/runtests.py (main): New command line option:
+         internal-encoding to specify the internal string encoding to use
+         in the tests.
+         * test/support.py (initthuban): Set the internal encoding to
+         latin-1
+         * test/test_load.py (TestSingleLayer.test, TestClassification.test)
+         (TestLabelLayer.test): Use the internal string representation when
+         dealing with non-ascii characters
+         * test/test_load_1_0.py (TestSingleLayer.test)
+         (TestClassification.test, TestLabelLayer.test): Use the internal
+         string representation when dealing with non-ascii characters
+         * test/test_load_0_9.py (TestSingleLayer.test)
+         (TestClassification.test): Use the internal string representation
+         when dealing with non-ascii characters
+         * test/test_load_0_8.py (TestUnicodeStrings.test): Use the
+         internal string representation when dealing with non-ascii
+         characters
+         * test/test_save.py (XMLWriterTest.testEncode)
+         (SaveSessionTest.testClassifiedLayer): Use the internal string
+         representation when dealing with non-ascii characters where
+         applicable
+-06-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/runtests.py: Untabify.
+-06-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (ScreenRenderer.draw_selection_incrementally):
+         untabify.
+-06-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/ogr/test/__init__.py: Add missing coding directive
+-06-28  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (ScreenRenderer.draw_selection_incrementally):
+         Use the default size for rendering selected items of default type.
+         Fixes part 2 of https://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=3149
+-06-28  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/importAPR/apr.py (APR_BShSym): Extend by 'Stripple'.
+         (APR_TClr.GetThubanColor): Fix bug in color interpretation.
+         Thanks to Frank Koormann who identified this problem.
+         * Extensions/importAPR/importAPR.py (APR_VShSym): New. Just
+         another symbol identified.
+-06-27  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual-de.xml: More translations.
+-05-12  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py: Add missing import, which led to an
+         exception when opening a layer's projection.
+-05-09  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/support.py (FileLoadTestCase.filename): Fix doc-string.
+-05-09  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/postgisdb.py (PostGISConnection.connect): Set the
+         connection to autoconnect.  Fixes RT#3148.
+         * test/test_postgis_db.py
+         (TestPostGISSpecialCases.test_simple_error_handling): New test
+         that attempts to reproduce RT#3148.
+-05-06  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         Add support for saving and loading the opacity and mask type
+         properties of RasterLayers. Also add support for proper use
+         of alpha information while drawing images not in 'RAW' format.
+         If transparency in an image format (e.g, PNG) is supported by
+         wxWidgets then the image would previously have been draw with
+         transparent regions, but the opaque regions would have been
+         unaffected by a change in the layer's opacity. This patch
+         corrects the problem.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (RasterLayer): Added opacity and
+         masktype parameters to the constructor, and set the
+         appropriate variables to those values.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_rasterlayer): Added
+         code to read the opacity and mask type of the layer and construct
+         a new layer with the additional parameters.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_layer): Added code
+         to save the opacity and mask type of a layer.
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_layer): Pass
+         the opacity of the layer to draw_raster_data rather than the layer.
+         (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_data): Remove the layer parameter because
+         the function doesn't need to know about the layer. Add the optional
+         opacity parameter whose default is 1.0. Add 'PNG' as a supported
+         graphics format.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_raster_data): Fixed
+         signature to match that in BaseRenderer. Use the new opacity argument
+         in place of calling layer.Opacity(). In the case where the
+         format is not 'RAW', alpha_data is None and the loaded image has
+         alpha information, use the file's alpha information. This is
+         still subject to the layer's opacity setting.
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (SimpleRenderer.draw_raster_data):
+         Fixed signature to match that in BaseRenderer.
+         * test/test_load.py (TestRasterLayer): Change file_contents to
+         include opacity and masktype variables.
+         (TestRasterLayer.test): Include tests for opacity and masktype
+         changes.
+         * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest.testRasterLayer): Restructure
+         test to cover a variety of combinations of masktype and opacity
+         settings.
+-05-02  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * debian/rules: add --use-wx-python-swig-hack
+         to the build command.
+         Thanks to Moritz Lennert for pointing this out.
+-04-28  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Introduce OGRFileShapeStore in ogr extension.
+         This allows at least that loaded shapefile shape stores
+         can be saved correctly in the thuban session file
+         and reloaded again (reload is via core shapefile
+         routine, not OGR). For other types, .thuban files
+         can not be reloaded for the time being.
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrshapes.py (OGRFileShapeStore): New. This
+         class ist to be used for any file-based shape stores
+         accessed through OGR.
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrstart.py (open_with_ogr): Added
+         forgotten _ for i18n. Adapted call OpenFileShapestore
+         regarding new parameter.
+         (OpenFileShapestore): Use OGRFileShapeStore instead of
+         OGRShapeStore. Fix return value (None instead of null).
+         Add new parameter "mainwindow" to avoid accessing global
+         context.
+-04-27  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Introduce FileShapeStore as generalization for
+         file-based shape stores. In a first instance
+         this allows additional modules to handle shapefile
+         format as well, namely the OGR extension.
+         * Thuban/Model/data.py: Various small fixes in doc-strings.
+         (FileShapeStore): New class.
+         (ShapefileStore): Derive from FileShapeStore.
+         (ShapefileStore.__init__): Call __init__ of FileShapeStore,
+         rename self.table to self._table, initialize self._bbox
+         (ShapefileStore._open_shapefile): Use self._bbox instead of self.bbox
+         and self.FileName() instead of self.filename.
+         (ShapefileStore.Table): Use self._table instead of self.table.
+         (ShapefileStore.FileName): Removed (moved to FileShapeStore).
+         (ShapefileStore.BoundingBox):  Use self._bbox instead of self.bbox.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py: Replace ShapefileStore by FileShapeStore.
+         (SessionSaver.write_data_containers): Only use methods of the
+         base class FileShapeStore.
+-04-26  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/wms/wms.py (render_wms_layer): Adjusted the render
+         function to the modified render engine
+-04-25  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.projected_raster_layer):
+         Added a description according to the CVS log message
+-04-23  Martin Schulze  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py: Added a missing import
+-04-23  Russell Nelson  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.OnMiddle{Up,Down}): Changed the
+         way the previous tool is remembered, so that middle-button
+         panning works even if you haven't selected a tool.
+-04-11  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp: Move the compatibility code that
+         deals with the wxPython 2.4 version of wxPython.h into the #ifdef
+         branch that includes wxPython.h because it's only needed when
+         wxPython.h is used.  Also, it won't compile when
+         USE_WX_PYTHON_SWIG_HACK is set otherwise.
+-04-07  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (ClassGrid.__init__): Use -1 as the ID.
+         (ID_CLASS_TABLE): Removed. It wasn't used anywhere except in
+         ClassGrid.__init__ and it's value is outside of the valid
+         range (must be < 32768).  wxPython 2.5 complains about it with an
+         exception.
+-04-05  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual-de.xml: More translations.
+-04-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp: Make it work with a wxPython.h from
+         wxPython 2.4 as well.  Also, remove a now obsolete comment.
+-04-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Use wxPython.h by default but provide a workaround when it isn't
+         available.
+         * setup.py (wxproj_extension): New variable.  Assign the Extension
+         instance for Lib.wxproj to this variable instead of putting it
+         directly into the listso that it can be accessed by other code
+         later.
+         (thuban_build_ext.user_options): Added boolean option
+         --use-wx-python-swig-hack.
+         (thuban_build_ext.initialize_options): Initialize the new option
+         to False.
+         (thuban_build_ext.finalize_options): If the new option was given,
+         define the preprocesser macro USE_WX_PYTHON_SWIG_HACK.
+         (thuban_build_ext): Update the doc-string
+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp: Normally we use
+         wx/wxPython/wxPython.h now.  Only if USE_WX_PYTHON_SWIG_HACK is
+         defined, use swigPtrConvertHack.h instead.
+         * libraries/thuban/swigPtrConvertHack.h: Remove the code that was
+         copied over from wxPython.h.
+         (decode_pointer_new): New.  Equivalent of decode_pointer for
+         wxPython 2.5.
+         (wxPyConvertSwigPtr): Modified to cope with wxPython 2.5 as well.
+         * README: Add section on potential build problems which explains
+         how the work-around for a missing wxPython.h is activated.
+-03-29  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/postgissupport.py (find_postgis_sql): Added yet another
+         potential location for (lw)postgis.sql because the file has moved
+         again in postgis 1.0.0 rc4.
+-03-29  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (BMP_SIZE_W, BMP_SIZE_H): Set both to 16 to
+         match the site of the legend_icon_layer icon.  Otherwise wxpython
+.5 complains when the legend is created with the error:
+         PyAssertionError: C++ assertion "(bitmap.GetWidth() == m_width &&
+         bitmap.GetHeight() == m_height) || (m_width == 0 && m_height ==
+)" failed in ./src/generic/imaglist.cpp(81): invalid bitmap size
+         in wxImageList: this might work on this platform but definitely
+         won't under Windows.
+-03-23  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         These changes add support for adjusting the opacity of a raster layer.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (RasterLayer.Opacity): Replaces AlphaOpacity.
+         (RasterLayer.SetOpacity): Replaces SetAlphaOpacity. Also triggers
+         a LAYER_CHANGED event if the opacity actually changes.
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_data): Added
+         layer parameter needed in the implementation of this method in
+         renderer.py.
+         * Thuban/UI/layerproperties.py (LayerProperties.dialog_layout): Fixed
+         typo 00 -> 0.
+         * Thuban/UI/rasterlayerproperties.py (RasterLayerProperties): Added
+         control to adjust opacity.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_raster_data): Scale the
+         alpha data based on the opacity level of the layer.
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (SimpleRenderer.draw_raster_data): Now
+         accepts a layer parameter.
+         * test/test_layer.py (TestLayerModification.test_raster_layer):
+         Rename opacity method calls and add test for LAYER_CHANGED.
+-03-16  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_connector.py (DeletionTestMixin.check_deletions)
+         (DeletionTestMixin.check_deletetions): renamed to check_deletions.
+         update the callers.
+-03-14  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Doc/manual/thuban-manual-de.xml: More translations.
+-03-10  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Introducing initialization callbacks for extensions.
+         * Thuban/UI/extensionregistry.py (ExtensionDesc.__init__): Added
+         optional parameter init_callback.
+         (ExtensionDesc.init_ext): New. Executes the callback and sets
+         a status.
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnInit): Add the
+         initialization of the extensions.
+         (ThubanApplication.init_extensions): Init all extensions.
+         * Thuban/UI/about.py (About.__init__): Added status of the extensions
+         to the about text.
+         * Extensions/gns2shp/__init__.py: Added init method for Extension
+         description.
+         (init): New. Contains the initialization of the module.
+-03-04  Nina H�ffmeyer <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrdialog.py: Added a dialog, which asks for
+         OGRConnection to open a datasource. Removed dialog to display all
+         available drivers. Added some doc strings.
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrstart.py: Added menu entry for opening an
+         OGRDatasource with a string. Added two opening methods which return an
+         OGRDatasource (either data from file or from DB).
+         * Extensions/ogr/ogrshapes.py: Added class OGRGeometry, which
+         represents a geometry reference of an OGRFeature. OGRShape now has a
+         list of referenced geometry objects (important for geometry
+         collections).
+         For OGRShapeStores loaded from a DB an ID column can be specified now.
+-02-22  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_map.py (TestMapWithContents.test_tree_info):
+         Added label layer for comparison.
+-02-18  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         * libraries/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp (GetImageData): Optimize the loop
+         which builds a mask. Handle the majority of an image in a loop,
+         creating 8 bits at a time. Later, handle the edge case where less
+         than 8 bits are packed.
+-02-18  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (TestBaseRenderer.setUp): Fix
+         doc-string
+-02-18  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py: Remove wx_cs_params from gdal compile options.
+-02-18  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         Refactored baserenderer.py and renderer.py to remove baserenderer.py's
+         dependencies on wxPython. Added a new method projected_raster_layer()
+         that returns a raster layer image in projected space. This must be
+         implemented in classes derived from BaseRenderer. This also eliminates
+         the dependency on gdal in baserenderer.py.
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_layer): Call
+         new projected_raster_layer() to get projected raster image instead
+         of directly calling ProjectRasterFile().
+         (BaseRenderer.projected_raster_layer): New. This must be implemented
+         by derived classes. It takes almost the same arguments as ProjectRasterFile
+         did and returns a projected image with mask and alpha data (if requested).
+         (BaseRenderer.render_map_incrementally): Remove the check for gdal since
+         that check will be done in MapRenderer.projected_raster_layer(). This
+         also allows other implementations to use different projection code.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.projected_raster_layer):
+         Implementation of BaseRenderer.projected_raster_layer. Checks for
+         gdal support and wxPython version. Also handles exceptions from
+         ProjectRasterFile.
+         * libraries/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp: Removed checks for wxPython versions
+         and added a variable which can be set through the options argument
+         of ProjectRasterFile.
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (SimpleRenderer.projected_raster_layer): New.
+         Calls ProjectRasterFile and returns the result.
+         (TestBaseRenderer.test_projected_raster_layer): New. Tests the results
+         of calling projected_raster_layer() with different options.
+         (TestBaseRenderer.test_raster_no_projection): Removed tests based on
+         wxPython version and all tests of masks and alpha channels. These are
+         now in test_projected_raster_layer().
+-02-17  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/map.py, Thuban/Model/label.py: Fixed
+         doc-strings to comply with coding_guidelines.
+-02-17  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Docstring improvements and minor fixes for labellayer.
+         * Thuban/Model/map.py:
+         (Map, Map.Destroy, Map.RemoveLayer, Map.ClearLayers,
+         Map.Layers, Map.HasLayers, Map.MoveLayerToTop,
+         Map.RaiseLayer, Map.LowerLayer, Map.MoveLayerToBottom,
+         Map.ProjectedBoundingBox, Map.GetProjection): Improved/added
+         doc string.
+         (Map.BoundingBox): Removed superfluous test for label_layer
+         and improved doc string.
+         (Map.TreeInfo): Added label_layer and improved sdo string.
+         * Thuban/Model/label.py: Added import of _.
+         (Label, Label.__init__): Improved/added doc string.
+         (LabelLayer, LabelLayer.__init__, LabelLayer.Labels,
+         LabelLayer.RemoveLabel, LabelLayer.ClearLabels):
+         Improved/added doc string.
+         (LabelLayer.AddLabel): Use already defined names for
+         align strings and improved doc string.
+         (LabelLayer.TreeInfo): New. Return the object data for
+         the tree view.
+-02-16  Jonathan Coles <[email protected]>
+         Further wxPython 2.5 changes using patches from Daniel Calvelo Aros
+         so that that wxproj doesn't crash. Added GUI support for selecting
+         alpha channel (opacity can't be selected yet).
+         NOTE: If wxPython.h is including in future distribution packages
+         then it will not be necessary to have the files swigPtrConvertHack.h
+         and wxPython_int.h included with Thuban. This is hopefully
+         a temporary workaround.
+         * setup.py (thuban_build_ext.finalize_options): gdalwarp needs
+         access to the macro wxCHECK_VERSION so that it will properly
+         generate a bit mask. There was a problem between wx2.4 and wx2.5
+         that this works around.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (RasterLayer.UseMask): Removed in favor
+         of RasterLayer.MaskType.
+         (RasterLayer.SetUseMask): Removed in favor of RasterLayer.SetMaskType
+         (RasterLayer.MaskType): New. Returns the type of mask to use. Can
+         specify none, a bitmap, or an alpha channel.
+         (RasterLayer.SetMaskType): New. Set what kind of mask to use.
+         * Thuban/UI/baserenderer.py (BaseRenderer.draw_raster_layer):
+         Set the raster warping options for the mask based on the value
+         of RasterLayer.MaskType.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (LegendTree.__FillTreeLayer): Remove
+         deprecated calls to SetItemSelectedImage in favor of SetItemImage
+         with wxTreeItemIcon_Selected.
+         * Thuban/UI/rasterlayerproperties.py: Support selecting to use
+         an alpha channel for the mask.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_raster_data): Use alpha
+         data if it is available and an alpha channel is supported under
+         the current version of wxPython.
+         * libraries/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp (GetImageData): Added compiler define
+         to select whether 1's or 0's select the desired portion of an image
+         in the bit mask. wx2.4 has a bug where the documentation is the opposite
+         from behavior.
+         (ProjectRasterFile): Only generate an alpha channel if the version
+         of wxPython is >= 2.5.3.
+         * libraries/thuban/wxproj.cpp: Applied patches from Daniel Calvelo Aros.
+         When wxPython >= 2.5.3 use the special swig functions to decode an
+         object's address.
+         * libraries/thuban/swigPtrConvertHack.h: Includes conditional code
+         based on the version of wxPython. If >= 2.5.3 use the special swig
+         functions from wxPython to decode wxPython objects, otherwise use
+         the old method of retrieving the address from the object __repr__ string.
+         * libraries/thuban/wxPython_int.h: Copied from wxPython source.
+         Unnecessary code was removed to make it smaller.
+         * test/test_baserenderer.py (TestBaseRenderer.test_raster_no_projection):
+         Add tests for returning an alpha channel.
+         * test/test_layer.py (TestLayerModification.test_raster_layer): Fix
+         tests that used removed functions UseMask and SetUseMask
+-02-08  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         More wxPython 2.5 changes.  This time taken from a patch from
+         Daniel Calvelo Aros.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (QueryTableFrame.__init__)
+         (QueryTableFrame.__init__): Pass the size of a spacer as a single
+         item.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.build_dialog)
+         (ProjFrame.build_dialog): Pass the size of a spacer as a single
+         item.
+         * Thuban/UI/dbdialog.py (ChooseDBTableDialog.__init__): Pass the
+         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.OnClose): Removed. Supplied in parent class.
+         (Classifier._OnCloseBtn): Removed. Supplied in parent class as OnCloseBtn.
+         (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.

+         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().

+         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.)

+-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.

+         * 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

+         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

+         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.

+         (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.

+         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

+-07-14  Jan Sch�ngel <[email protected]>
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mapfile.py: Added ClassGroupDefault to
+         import.
+         (MF_Symbolset): Removed the extra variable for numsymbols.
+         (MF_Class.__init__): Added a comment to the exception clause.
+         Removed the extent init, because it was not needed anymore.
+         (MF_Layer.add_thubanclass): Added the code to set the class name to
+         the expression value from thuban if no label is defined.
+         Added the code to export Range expressions from thuban to the mapfile.
+         (MF_Map.set_extent): Removed the exception and replace it by some if
+         code. If the size of a map is not defined the size will be set to 1,1.
+         This is necessary because if the extent is set, mapscript checks if
+         the size is greater than zero.
+         (MF_Web): Added the get and set function for the template.
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_export.py: Added the function to check
+         if a mapobject exists and used it to set the status of the menu items.
+         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

+         the Label Dialog and add the OutputDialog.
+         Make some changes to the code order.
+-07-06  Jan Sch�ngel <[email protected]>

+         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.

+         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

+         (Label_Dialog): Added the offset option
+         * Extensions/umn_mapserver/mf_import.py: Added code to import the

+         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.

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