4     - Fixed behaviour with the proj bug and python >=2.4
5     when decimal_point != '.'. So de_DE locales will work fine again.
6 bernhard 2674
7     - Startup improved: We fail right away if the internal encoding could
8     not be determined. In this case, try to set the LANGUAGE variable to
9     one value and use no colon.
10     If we startup you can see the internal encoding in the about dialog now.
11    
12     - Improved extensions:
13    
14     - Improved svxexport extension 1.0.0+cvs (Bernhard Reiter)
15    
16     + Fixed ARC layer writing: No filling is done.
17     You could actually get polylines with filling in between,
18     when the classification for the lines had a fill color.
19     E.g. this happens when you generate a classification from a ramp.
20    
21     + Fixed label export.

23 bh 2649 Changes in Thuban 1.1.0
24     =======================
25    
26     - Thuban rembers directories in file selection dialogs during a thuban
27     session
28    
29     - Add some support for wxPython 2.5 and 2.6. Thuban is still
30     compatible with wxPython 2.4.
31    
32     - Change the way thuban deals with non-ascii text. The internal
33     representation is now the user's default encoding. Thuban works a
34     bit better with a unicode build of wxPython but there are still
35     problems. (Bernhard Herzog)
36    
37     - Various raster data improvements. Among other things, translucent
38     images are now supported on a sufficiently recent wxWidgets (2.6).
39     Also, only the part of the window actually covered by the image is
40     drawn. (Jonathan Coles)
41    
42     - Improved PostGIS support (Bernhard Herzog):
43    
44     - support tables with multiple geometry columns. The user can
45     select which one to use
46    
47     - support tables with srids
48    
49     - tables don't have to have a column named "gid" anymore. The user
50     can select the column to use for ids
51    
52     - PostgreSQL views are supported too
53    
54     - support LINESTRING geometries
55    
56     - support more PostgreSQL versions. 7.4 works now.
57    
58     - Added support for sizable points (Jan-Oliver Wagner)
59    
60     - When loading a (moved) session where shapefiles cannot be found, ask
61     the user (Frank Koormann)
62    
63     - The middle mouse button can be used for panning now (Russell Nelson)
64    
65     - Give a warning when the projection selected for a layer is probably
66     wrong (Russell Nelson)
67    
68     - Updated shapelib
69    
70     - New or improved extensions:
71    
72     - A new extension which exports a map as SVG
73     (Markus Rechtien, Bernhard Reiter)
74    
75     - Improved WMS extension (Martin Schulze)
76    
77     - New Extension to dump bounding boxes of all shapes of the selected
78     layer (Frank Koormann)
79    
80     - New extension: umn_mapserver (Jan Schüngel)
81    
82     - New extension: OGR (Nina Hüffmeyer)
83    
84     - New Extension: mouseposition. Tool to collect mouse click positions
85     (map coordinates) in a dialog. (Frank Koormann)
86    
87     - Documentation:
88    
89     - Add some documentation of the internals of Thuban.
90     See Doc/technotes/
91    
92     - The thuban manual has been partly translated to German
93     (Jan-Oliver Wagner)
94    
95     - Updated translations:
96     Russian (Alex Shevlakov)
97    
98     - New translations:
99     Brazilian Portuguese (Eduardo Patto Kanegae)xb
100     Hungarian (Norbert Solymosi)
101    
102    
103 bh 2043 Changes in Thuban 1.0.0
104     =======================
105    
106     - Updated translations:
107    
108     Italian by Maurizio Napolitano
109     Spanish and French by Daniel Calvelo Aros
110     Russian by Alex Shevlakov
111    
112     - some minor bug fixes
113    
114    
115 bh 1997 Changes in Thuban 1.0rc1
116     ========================
117    
118     - Redering improvements
119    
120     Rendering the map in the main window does not freeze Thuban
121     completely anymore. While the rendering occurs the window is updated
122     regularly to show the progress and you can interact with the window
123     and thuban in general even when the rendering is not complete yet
124    
125     The map display is also faster in many cases now, especially when
126     doing classifictions.
127    
128     The renderes have a mechanism to define how new layer classes defined
129     in extensions can be rendered (see the new wms extension for an
130     example)
131    
132     - Added a few extensions in the Extensions sub-directory. Most of them
133 bh 2006 are experimental to varying extents. Note that the binary packages
134     might not contain all of these extensions.
135 bh 1997
136     - gns2shp
137    
138     Convert GNS (GEOnet Names Server) files to shapefiles. See
139     Extensions/gns2shp/gns2shp.py for more information
140    
141     - wms
142    
143     Use thuban as WMS client. See Extensions/wms/wms.py for more
144     information
145    
146     - importAPR
147    
148     Import a ArcView project file (.apr) and convert it to Thuban.
149    
150     - profiling
151    
152     For developers: perfomance measurement for the rendering code.
153     See Extensions/profiling/profiling.py for details.
154    
155     - drawshape
156    
157     This is a *very experimental* and potentially *dangerous* extension
158     to add shapes to a shapefile. Be careful with it as it may lead to
159     data loss. For more information, see Extensions/drawshape/README
160    
161     - A new command line option --enable-attribute-editing, which when
162     given turns on editing of attribute values in the identify view. It
163     only works on layers whose attribute data is stored in DBF files.
164     This experimental and may lead to data loss, so be careful when using
165     it.
166    
167     - EPSG projections
168    
169     Thuban now comes with two .proj files containing EPSG projections
170     (epsg.proj and epsg-deprecated.proj in Resources/Projections/). These
171     projections can be shown in the dialog with the new check boxes under
172     "Show EPSG".
173    
174     - Context menu in the legend window
175    
176     The legend window now has a context menu for most of the layer
177     commands
178    
179     - Localization updates
180    
181     The localization is now done with wxWindow's localization support and
182     thus deals automatically with character encoding transformations and
183     the standard dialogs are also translated properly if the wxWindows
184     .mo files are installed
185    
186     Updated translations for French and Spanish contributed by Daniel
187     Calvelo. Updated German translation
188    
189     - PostGIS improvements
190    
191     - Quote table and columns names properly.
192    
193     - The dialog deals better with duplicate connections (e.g. trying to
194     create a new connection when there already is a connection for the
195     same database)
196    
197     - Files written with the Windows version of Thuban can now be read by
198     the unix version. The other way round was already possible.
199    
200     - The shapefile handling code now uses shapelib 1.2.10
201    
202     - Thuban should work without problems and warnings with Python 2.3 now.
203    
204    
205 bh 1700 Changes in Thuban 0.9
206     =====================
207    
208     - An initial version of the Thuban User's Manual. Currently only the
209     XML sources and the images are shipped with the Thuban sources. The
210     binary distributions do not contain the document at this point. An
211     online version is available at
212     http://thuban.intevation.org/documentation.html
213    
214     - New Translations: German, Italian and Russian. The Italian and
215     Russion translations are based on 0.8.1 and therefore not quite up to
216     date. German is up to date, though. For 1.0 we intend to have a
217     translation period where all translations can be brought up to date.
218    
219     - PostGIS support. This feaure is still a bit experimental at this
220     point and is not very well tested yet. It should work PostgreSQL
221     7.2.1 and postgis 0.7 as that's what we tested it with. Newer
222     versions probably also work.
223    
224     The user as which the connection is established obviously needs
225     select permissions on any table to show and also on the
226     geometry_columns table.
227    
228     Known Issues:
229    
230     - Only four geometry types are currently supported: POINT,
231     MULTILINESTRING, POLYGON and MULTIPOLYGON.
232    
233     - Tables must have a gid column which is assumed to be a non-NULL
234     integer which uniquely identifies the row.
235    
236     - It's not optimized so some things may be very slow. For instance
237     the number of queries done could be reduced substantially
238     especially if you use classifications. Having an index on the gid
239     column can speed things up in that case. Note that at least older
240     versions shp2pgsql do not create such an index.
241    
242     - Renamed the subdirectory extensions to libraries. The name extensions
243     can now be used for a directory with Thuban extensions.
244    
245    
246     More changes in even more detail are listed in the ChangeLog file.
