1    Changes in Thuban 1.1.0+CVS
2    ===========================
3    
4     - Startup improved: We fail right away if the internal encoding could
5       not be determined. In this case, try to set the LANGUAGE variable to
6       one value and use no colon.
7       If we startup you can see the internal encoding in the about dialog now.
8    
9     - Improved extensions:
10    
11        - Improved svxexport extension 1.0.0+cvs (Bernhard Reiter)
12    
13            + Fixed ARC layer writing: No filling is done.
14            You could actually get polylines with filling in between,
15            when the classification for the lines had a fill color.
16            E.g. this happens when you generate a classification from a ramp.
17    
18            + Fixed label export.
19    
20    Changes in Thuban 1.1.0
21    =======================
22    
23     - Thuban rembers directories in file selection dialogs during a thuban
24       session
25    
26     - Add some support for wxPython 2.5 and 2.6.  Thuban is still
27       compatible with wxPython 2.4.
28    
29     - Change the way thuban deals with non-ascii text.  The internal
30       representation is now the user's default encoding.  Thuban works a
31       bit better with a unicode build of wxPython but there are still
32       problems.  (Bernhard Herzog)
33    
34     - Various raster data improvements.  Among other things, translucent
35       images are now supported on a sufficiently recent wxWidgets (2.6).
36       Also, only the part of the window actually covered by the image is
37       drawn.  (Jonathan Coles)
38    
39     - Improved PostGIS support (Bernhard Herzog):
40    
41        - support tables with multiple geometry columns.  The user can
42          select which one to use
43    
44        - support tables with srids
45    
46        - tables don't have to have a column named "gid" anymore.  The user
47          can select the column to use for ids
48    
49        - PostgreSQL views are supported too
50    
51        - support LINESTRING geometries
52    
53        - support more PostgreSQL versions.  7.4 works now.
54    
55     - Added support for sizable points (Jan-Oliver Wagner)
56    
57     - When loading a (moved) session where shapefiles cannot be found, ask
58       the user (Frank Koormann)
59    
60     - The middle mouse button can be used for panning now (Russell Nelson)
61    
62     - Give a warning when the projection selected for a layer is probably
63       wrong (Russell Nelson)
64    
65     - Updated shapelib
66    
67     - New or improved extensions:
68    
69        - A new extension which exports a map as SVG
70          (Markus Rechtien, Bernhard Reiter)
71    
72        - Improved WMS extension (Martin Schulze)
73    
74        - New Extension to dump bounding boxes of all shapes of the selected
75          layer (Frank Koormann)
76    
77        - New extension: umn_mapserver (Jan Sch�ngel)
78    
79        - New extension: OGR (Nina H�ffmeyer)
80    
81        - New Extension: mouseposition. Tool to collect mouse click positions
82          (map coordinates) in a dialog.  (Frank Koormann)
83    
84     - Documentation:
85    
86        - Add some documentation of the internals of Thuban.
87          See Doc/technotes/
88    
89        - The thuban manual has been partly translated to German
90          (Jan-Oliver Wagner)
91    
92     - Updated translations:
93           Russian (Alex Shevlakov)
94    
95     - New translations:
96           Brazilian Portuguese (Eduardo Patto Kanegae)xb
97           Hungarian (Norbert Solymosi)
98    
99    
100    Changes in Thuban 1.0.0
101    =======================
102    
103     - Updated translations:
104    
105       Italian by Maurizio Napolitano
106       Spanish and French by Daniel Calvelo Aros
107       Russian by Alex Shevlakov
108    
109     - some minor bug fixes
110    
111    
112    Changes in Thuban 1.0rc1
113    ========================
114    
115     - Redering improvements
116    
117       Rendering the map in the main window does not freeze Thuban
118       completely anymore. While the rendering occurs the window is updated
119       regularly to show the progress and you can interact with the window
120       and thuban in general even when the rendering is not complete yet
121    
122       The map display is also faster in many cases now, especially when
123       doing classifictions.
124    
125       The renderes have a mechanism to define how new layer classes defined
126       in extensions can be rendered (see the new wms extension for an
127       example)
128    
129     - Added a few extensions in the Extensions sub-directory. Most of them
130       are experimental to varying extents. Note that the binary packages
131       might not contain all of these extensions.
132    
133       - gns2shp
134    
135         Convert GNS (GEOnet Names Server) files to shapefiles. See
136         Extensions/gns2shp/gns2shp.py for more information
137    
138       - wms
139    
140         Use thuban as WMS client. See Extensions/wms/wms.py for more
141         information
142    
143       - importAPR
144    
145         Import a ArcView project file (.apr) and convert it to Thuban.
146    
147       - profiling
148    
149         For developers: perfomance measurement for the rendering code.
150         See Extensions/profiling/profiling.py for details.
151    
152       - drawshape
153    
154         This is a *very experimental* and potentially *dangerous* extension
155         to add shapes to a shapefile. Be careful with it as it may lead to
156         data loss. For more information, see Extensions/drawshape/README
157    
158     - A new command line option --enable-attribute-editing, which when
159       given turns on editing of attribute values in the identify view. It
160       only works on layers whose attribute data is stored in DBF files.
161       This experimental and may lead to data loss, so be careful when using
162       it.
163    
164     - EPSG projections
165    
166       Thuban now comes with two .proj files containing EPSG projections
167       (epsg.proj and epsg-deprecated.proj in Resources/Projections/). These
168       projections can be shown in the dialog with the new check boxes under
169       "Show EPSG".
170    
171     - Context menu in the legend window
172    
173       The legend window now has a context menu for most of the layer
174       commands
175    
176     - Localization updates
177    
178       The localization is now done with wxWindow's localization support and
179       thus deals automatically with character encoding transformations and
180       the standard dialogs are also translated properly if the wxWindows
181       .mo files are installed
182    
183       Updated translations for French and Spanish contributed by Daniel
184       Calvelo. Updated German translation
185    
186     - PostGIS improvements
187    
188       - Quote table and columns names properly.
189    
190       - The dialog deals better with duplicate connections (e.g. trying to
191         create a new connection when there already is a connection for the
192         same database)
193    
194     - Files written with the Windows version of Thuban can now be read by
195       the unix version. The other way round was already possible.
196    
197     - The shapefile handling code now uses shapelib 1.2.10
198    
199     - Thuban should work without problems and warnings with Python 2.3 now.
