1    Changes in Thuban 1.0rc1
2    ========================
3    
4     - Redering improvements
5    
6       Rendering the map in the main window does not freeze Thuban
7       completely anymore. While the rendering occurs the window is updated
8       regularly to show the progress and you can interact with the window
9       and thuban in general even when the rendering is not complete yet
10    
11       The map display is also faster in many cases now, especially when
12       doing classifictions.
13    
14       The renderes have a mechanism to define how new layer classes defined
15       in extensions can be rendered (see the new wms extension for an
16       example)
17    
18     - Added a few extensions in the Extensions sub-directory. Most of them
19       are experimental to varying extents. Note that the binary packages
20       might not contain all of these extensions.
21    
22       - gns2shp
23    
24         Convert GNS (GEOnet Names Server) files to shapefiles. See
25         Extensions/gns2shp/gns2shp.py for more information
26    
27       - wms
28    
29         Use thuban as WMS client. See Extensions/wms/wms.py for more
30         information
31    
32       - importAPR
33    
34         Import a ArcView project file (.apr) and convert it to Thuban.
35    
36       - profiling
37    
38         For developers: perfomance measurement for the rendering code.
39         See Extensions/profiling/profiling.py for details.
40    
41       - drawshape
42    
43         This is a *very experimental* and potentially *dangerous* extension
44         to add shapes to a shapefile. Be careful with it as it may lead to
45         data loss. For more information, see Extensions/drawshape/README
46    
47     - A new command line option --enable-attribute-editing, which when
48       given turns on editing of attribute values in the identify view. It
49       only works on layers whose attribute data is stored in DBF files.
50       This experimental and may lead to data loss, so be careful when using
51       it.
52    
53     - EPSG projections
54    
55       Thuban now comes with two .proj files containing EPSG projections
56       (epsg.proj and epsg-deprecated.proj in Resources/Projections/). These
57       projections can be shown in the dialog with the new check boxes under
58       "Show EPSG".
59    
60     - Context menu in the legend window
61    
62       The legend window now has a context menu for most of the layer
63       commands
64    
65     - Localization updates
66    
67       The localization is now done with wxWindow's localization support and
68       thus deals automatically with character encoding transformations and
69       the standard dialogs are also translated properly if the wxWindows
70       .mo files are installed
71    
72       Updated translations for French and Spanish contributed by Daniel
73       Calvelo. Updated German translation
74    
75     - PostGIS improvements
76    
77       - Quote table and columns names properly.
78    
79       - The dialog deals better with duplicate connections (e.g. trying to
80         create a new connection when there already is a connection for the
81         same database)
82    
83     - Files written with the Windows version of Thuban can now be read by
84       the unix version. The other way round was already possible.
85    
86     - The shapefile handling code now uses shapelib 1.2.10
87    
88     - Thuban should work without problems and warnings with Python 2.3 now.
