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.
20    
21       - gns2shp
22    
23         Convert GNS (GEOnet Names Server) files to shapefiles. See
24         Extensions/gns2shp/gns2shp.py for more information
25    
26       - wms
27    
28         Use thuban as WMS client. See Extensions/wms/wms.py for more
29         information
30    
31       - importAPR
32    
33         Import a ArcView project file (.apr) and convert it to Thuban.
34    
35       - profiling
36    
37         For developers: perfomance measurement for the rendering code.
38         See Extensions/profiling/profiling.py for details.
39    
40       - drawshape
41    
42         This is a *very experimental* and potentially *dangerous* extension
43         to add shapes to a shapefile. Be careful with it as it may lead to
44         data loss. For more information, see Extensions/drawshape/README
45    
46     - A new command line option --enable-attribute-editing, which when
47       given turns on editing of attribute values in the identify view. It
48       only works on layers whose attribute data is stored in DBF files.
49       This experimental and may lead to data loss, so be careful when using
50       it.
51    
52     - EPSG projections
53    
54       Thuban now comes with two .proj files containing EPSG projections
55       (epsg.proj and epsg-deprecated.proj in Resources/Projections/). These
56       projections can be shown in the dialog with the new check boxes under
57       "Show EPSG".
58    
59     - Context menu in the legend window
60    
61       The legend window now has a context menu for most of the layer
62       commands
63    
64     - Localization updates
65    
66       The localization is now done with wxWindow's localization support and
67       thus deals automatically with character encoding transformations and
68       the standard dialogs are also translated properly if the wxWindows
69       .mo files are installed
70    
71       Updated translations for French and Spanish contributed by Daniel
72       Calvelo. Updated German translation
73    
74     - PostGIS improvements
75    
76       - Quote table and columns names properly.
77    
78       - The dialog deals better with duplicate connections (e.g. trying to
79         create a new connection when there already is a connection for the
80         same database)
81    
82     - Files written with the Windows version of Thuban can now be read by
83       the unix version. The other way round was already possible.
84    
85     - The shapefile handling code now uses shapelib 1.2.10
86    
87     - Thuban should work without problems and warnings with Python 2.3 now.
