1    Changes in Thuban 1.1.0+CVS
2    ===========================
3            
4     - Fixed behaviour with the proj bug and python >=2.4
5       when decimal_point != '.'. So de_DE locales will work fine again.
6    
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.
22    
23    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 Sch�ngel)
81    
82        - New extension: OGR (Nina H�ffmeyer)
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    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    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       are experimental to varying extents. Note that the binary packages
134       might not contain all of these extensions.
135    
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.
