1    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 Sch�ngel)
59    
60        - New extension: OGR (Nina H�ffmeyer)
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:
74           Russian (Alex Shevlakov)
75    
76     - New translations:
77           Brazilian Portuguese (Eduardo Patto Kanegae)xb
78           Hungarian (Norbert Solymosi)
79    
80    
81    Changes in Thuban 1.0.0
82    =======================
83    
84     - Updated translations:
85    
86       Italian by Maurizio Napolitano
87       Spanish and French by Daniel Calvelo Aros
88       Russian by Alex Shevlakov
89    
90     - some minor bug fixes
91    
92    
93    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       are experimental to varying extents. Note that the binary packages
112       might not contain all of these extensions.
113    
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.
