Changes in Thuban 1.1.0 |
| 2 |
|
|
======================= |
| 3 |
|
|
|
| 4 |
|
|
- Thuban rembers directories in file selection dialogs during a thuban |
| 5 |
|
|
session |
| 6 |
|
|
|
| 7 |
|
|
- Add some support for wxPython 2.5 and 2.6. Thuban is still |
| 8 |
|
|
compatible with wxPython 2.4. |
| 9 |
|
|
|
| 10 |
|
|
- Change the way thuban deals with non-ascii text. The internal |
| 11 |
|
|
representation is now the user's default encoding. Thuban works a |
| 12 |
|
|
bit better with a unicode build of wxPython but there are still |
| 13 |
|
|
problems. (Bernhard Herzog) |
| 14 |
|
|
|
| 15 |
|
|
- Various raster data improvements. Among other things, translucent |
| 16 |
|
|
images are now supported on a sufficiently recent wxWidgets (2.6). |
| 17 |
|
|
Also, only the part of the window actually covered by the image is |
| 18 |
|
|
drawn. (Jonathan Coles) |
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
- Improved PostGIS support (Bernhard Herzog): |
| 21 |
|
|
|
| 22 |
|
|
- support tables with multiple geometry columns. The user can |
| 23 |
|
|
select which one to use |
| 24 |
|
|
|
| 25 |
|
|
- support tables with srids |
| 26 |
|
|
|
| 27 |
|
|
- tables don't have to have a column named "gid" anymore. The user |
| 28 |
|
|
can select the column to use for ids |
| 29 |
|
|
|
| 30 |
|
|
- PostgreSQL views are supported too |
| 31 |
|
|
|
| 32 |
|
|
- support LINESTRING geometries |
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
- support more PostgreSQL versions. 7.4 works now. |
| 35 |
|
|
|
| 36 |
|
|
- Added support for sizable points (Jan-Oliver Wagner) |
| 37 |
|
|
|
| 38 |
|
|
- When loading a (moved) session where shapefiles cannot be found, ask |
| 39 |
|
|
the user (Frank Koormann) |
| 40 |
|
|
|
| 41 |
|
|
- The middle mouse button can be used for panning now (Russell Nelson) |
| 42 |
|
|
|
| 43 |
|
|
- Give a warning when the projection selected for a layer is probably |
| 44 |
|
|
wrong (Russell Nelson) |
| 45 |
|
|
|
| 46 |
|
|
- Updated shapelib |
| 47 |
|
|
|
| 48 |
|
|
- New or improved extensions: |
| 49 |
|
|
|
| 50 |
|
|
- A new extension which exports a map as SVG |
| 51 |
|
|
(Markus Rechtien, Bernhard Reiter) |
| 52 |
|
|
|
| 53 |
|
|
- Improved WMS extension (Martin Schulze) |
| 54 |
|
|
|
| 55 |
|
|
- New Extension to dump bounding boxes of all shapes of the selected |
| 56 |
|
|
layer (Frank Koormann) |
| 57 |
|
|
|
| 58 |
|
|
- New extension: umn_mapserver (Jan Schüngel) |
| 59 |
|
|
|
| 60 |
|
|
- New extension: OGR (Nina Hüffmeyer) |
| 61 |
|
|
|
| 62 |
|
|
- New Extension: mouseposition. Tool to collect mouse click positions |
| 63 |
|
|
(map coordinates) in a dialog. (Frank Koormann) |
| 64 |
|
|
|
| 65 |
|
|
- Documentation: |
| 66 |
|
|
|
| 67 |
|
|
- Add some documentation of the internals of Thuban. |
| 68 |
|
|
See Doc/technotes/ |
| 69 |
|
|
|
| 70 |
|
|
- The thuban manual has been partly translated to German |
| 71 |
|
|
(Jan-Oliver Wagner) |
| 72 |
|
|
|
| 73 |
|
|
- Updated translations: |

Changes in Thuban 1.0rc1 |
| 94 |
|
|
======================== |
| 95 |
|
|
|
| 96 |
|
|
- Redering improvements |
| 97 |
|
|
|
| 98 |
|
|
Rendering the map in the main window does not freeze Thuban |
| 99 |
|
|
completely anymore. While the rendering occurs the window is updated |
| 100 |
|
|
regularly to show the progress and you can interact with the window |
| 101 |
|
|
and thuban in general even when the rendering is not complete yet |
| 102 |
|
|
|
| 103 |
|
|
The map display is also faster in many cases now, especially when |
| 104 |
|
|
doing classifictions. |
| 105 |
|
|
|
| 106 |
|
|
The renderes have a mechanism to define how new layer classes defined |
| 107 |
|
|
in extensions can be rendered (see the new wms extension for an |
| 108 |
|
|
example) |
| 109 |
|
|
|
| 110 |
|
|
- Added a few extensions in the Extensions sub-directory. Most of them |
| 111 |
bh |
2006 |
are experimental to varying extents. Note that the binary packages |
| 112 |
|
|
might not contain all of these extensions. |
| 113 |
bh |
1997 |
|
| 114 |
|
|
- gns2shp |
| 115 |
|
|
|
| 116 |
|
|
Convert GNS (GEOnet Names Server) files to shapefiles. See |
| 117 |
|
|
Extensions/gns2shp/gns2shp.py for more information |
| 118 |
|
|
|
| 119 |
|
|
- wms |
| 120 |
|
|
|
| 121 |
|
|
Use thuban as WMS client. See Extensions/wms/wms.py for more |
| 122 |
|
|
information |
| 123 |
|
|
|
| 124 |
|
|
- importAPR |
| 125 |
|
|
|
| 126 |
|
|
Import a ArcView project file (.apr) and convert it to Thuban. |
| 127 |
|
|
|
| 128 |
|
|
- profiling |
| 129 |
|
|
|
| 130 |
|
|
For developers: perfomance measurement for the rendering code. |
| 131 |
|
|
See Extensions/profiling/profiling.py for details. |
| 132 |
|
|
|
| 133 |
|
|
- drawshape |
| 134 |
|
|
|
| 135 |
|
|
This is a *very experimental* and potentially *dangerous* extension |
| 136 |
|
|
to add shapes to a shapefile. Be careful with it as it may lead to |
| 137 |
|
|
data loss. For more information, see Extensions/drawshape/README |
| 138 |
|
|
|
| 139 |
|
|
- A new command line option --enable-attribute-editing, which when |
| 140 |
|
|
given turns on editing of attribute values in the identify view. It |
| 141 |
|
|
only works on layers whose attribute data is stored in DBF files. |
| 142 |
|
|
This experimental and may lead to data loss, so be careful when using |
| 143 |
|
|
it. |
| 144 |
|
|
|
| 145 |
|
|
- EPSG projections |
| 146 |
|
|
|
| 147 |
|
|
Thuban now comes with two .proj files containing EPSG projections |
| 148 |
|
|
(epsg.proj and epsg-deprecated.proj in Resources/Projections/). These |
| 149 |
|
|
projections can be shown in the dialog with the new check boxes under |
| 150 |
|
|
"Show EPSG". |
| 151 |
|
|
|
| 152 |
|
|
- Context menu in the legend window |
| 153 |
|
|
|
| 154 |
|
|
The legend window now has a context menu for most of the layer |
| 155 |
|
|
commands |
| 156 |
|
|
|
| 157 |
|
|
- Localization updates |
| 158 |
|
|
|
| 159 |
|
|
The localization is now done with wxWindow's localization support and |
| 160 |
|
|
thus deals automatically with character encoding transformations and |
| 161 |
|
|
the standard dialogs are also translated properly if the wxWindows |
| 162 |
|
|
.mo files are installed |
| 163 |
|
|
|
| 164 |
|
|
Updated translations for French and Spanish contributed by Daniel |
| 165 |
|
|
Calvelo. Updated German translation |
| 166 |
|
|
|
| 167 |
|
|
- PostGIS improvements |
| 168 |
|
|
|
| 169 |
|
|
- Quote table and columns names properly. |
| 170 |
|
|
|
| 171 |
|
|
- The dialog deals better with duplicate connections (e.g. trying to |
| 172 |
|
|
create a new connection when there already is a connection for the |
| 173 |
|
|
same database) |
| 174 |
|
|
|
| 175 |
|
|
- Files written with the Windows version of Thuban can now be read by |
| 176 |
|
|
the unix version. The other way round was already possible. |
| 177 |
|
|
|
| 178 |
|
|
- The shapefile handling code now uses shapelib 1.2.10 |
| 179 |
|
|
|
| 180 |
|
|
- Thuban should work without problems and warnings with Python 2.3 now. |

Changes in Thuban 0.9 |
| 184 |
|
|
===================== |
| 185 |
|
|
|
| 186 |
|
|
- An initial version of the Thuban User's Manual. Currently only the |
| 187 |
|
|
XML sources and the images are shipped with the Thuban sources. The |
| 188 |
|
|
binary distributions do not contain the document at this point. An |
| 189 |
|
|
online version is available at |
| 190 |
|
|
http://thuban.intevation.org/documentation.html |
| 191 |
|
|
|
| 192 |
|
|
- New Translations: German, Italian and Russian. The Italian and |
| 193 |
|
|
Russion translations are based on 0.8.1 and therefore not quite up to |
| 194 |
|
|
date. German is up to date, though. For 1.0 we intend to have a |
| 195 |
|
|
translation period where all translations can be brought up to date. |
| 196 |
|
|
|
| 197 |
|
|
- PostGIS support. This feaure is still a bit experimental at this |
| 198 |
|
|
point and is not very well tested yet. It should work PostgreSQL |
| 199 |
|
|
7.2.1 and postgis 0.7 as that's what we tested it with. Newer |
| 200 |
|
|
versions probably also work. |
| 201 |
|
|
|
| 202 |
|
|
The user as which the connection is established obviously needs |
| 203 |
|
|
select permissions on any table to show and also on the |
| 204 |
|
|
geometry_columns table. |
| 205 |
|
|
|
| 206 |
|
|
Known Issues: |
| 207 |
|
|
|
| 208 |
|
|
- Only four geometry types are currently supported: POINT, |
| 209 |
|
|
MULTILINESTRING, POLYGON and MULTIPOLYGON. |
| 210 |
|
|
|
| 211 |
|
|
- Tables must have a gid column which is assumed to be a non-NULL |
| 212 |
|
|
integer which uniquely identifies the row. |
| 213 |
|
|
|
| 214 |
|
|
- It's not optimized so some things may be very slow. For instance |
| 215 |
|
|
the number of queries done could be reduced substantially |
| 216 |
|
|
especially if you use classifications. Having an index on the gid |
| 217 |
|
|
column can speed things up in that case. Note that at least older |
| 218 |
|
|
versions shp2pgsql do not create such an index. |
| 219 |
|
|
|
| 220 |
|
|
- Renamed the subdirectory extensions to libraries. The name extensions |
| 221 |
|
|
can now be used for a directory with Thuban extensions. |
| 222 |
|
|
|
| 223 |
|
|
|
| 224 |
|
|
More changes in even more detail are listed in the ChangeLog file. |
