1    Changes in Thuban 1.1.0+CVS
2    ===========================
3    
4     - Python <= 2.4 calls C extension modules with the set locale.
5       This means those modules need to be robust against a locale
6       where LC_NUMERIC is set in a way that the decimal_point might
7       be a comma or something else. Problems are diagnosed
8       at least with shapelib, proj and gdal. To cope with it we:
9    
10       + Added a new option --setdecimalcommalocale to runtests.py so that
11       all tests can be checked with a comma as  decimal_point, if we
12       can find such an LC_NUMERIC. We only try a few in test/localessupport.py.
13    
14       + Fixed behaviour with proj by switching to LC_NUMERIC "C" before
15       initialising the projection and afterward switch back.
16    
17       + Added a workaround to internal shapelib and pyshapelib.
18    
19     - Startup improved: We fail right away if the internal encoding could
20       not be determined. In this case, try to set the LANGUAGE variable to
21       one value and use no colon.
22       If we startup you can see the internal encoding in the about dialog now.
23    
24     - Improved extensions:
25    
26        - Improved svxexport extension 1.0.0+cvs (Bernhard Reiter)
27    
28            + Fixed ARC layer writing: No filling is done.
29            You could actually get polylines with filling in between,
30            when the classification for the lines had a fill color.
31            E.g. this happens when you generate a classification from a ramp.
32    
33            + Fixed label export.
34    
35    Changes in Thuban 1.1.0
36    =======================
37    
38     - Thuban rembers directories in file selection dialogs during a thuban
39       session
40    
41     - Add some support for wxPython 2.5 and 2.6.  Thuban is still
42       compatible with wxPython 2.4.
43    
44     - Change the way thuban deals with non-ascii text.  The internal
45       representation is now the user's default encoding.  Thuban works a
46       bit better with a unicode build of wxPython but there are still
47       problems.  (Bernhard Herzog)
48    
49     - Various raster data improvements.  Among other things, translucent
50       images are now supported on a sufficiently recent wxWidgets (2.6).
51       Also, only the part of the window actually covered by the image is
52       drawn.  (Jonathan Coles)
53    
54     - Improved PostGIS support (Bernhard Herzog):
55    
56        - support tables with multiple geometry columns.  The user can
57          select which one to use
58    
59        - support tables with srids
60    
61        - tables don't have to have a column named "gid" anymore.  The user
62          can select the column to use for ids
63    
64        - PostgreSQL views are supported too
65    
66        - support LINESTRING geometries
67    
68        - support more PostgreSQL versions.  7.4 works now.
69    
70     - Added support for sizable points (Jan-Oliver Wagner)
71    
72     - When loading a (moved) session where shapefiles cannot be found, ask
73       the user (Frank Koormann)
74    
75     - The middle mouse button can be used for panning now (Russell Nelson)
76    
77     - Give a warning when the projection selected for a layer is probably
78       wrong (Russell Nelson)
79    
80     - Updated shapelib
81    
82     - New or improved extensions:
83    
84        - A new extension which exports a map as SVG
85          (Markus Rechtien, Bernhard Reiter)
86    
87        - Improved WMS extension (Martin Schulze)
88    
89        - New Extension to dump bounding boxes of all shapes of the selected
90          layer (Frank Koormann)
91    
92        - New extension: umn_mapserver (Jan Sch�ngel)
93    
94        - New extension: OGR (Nina H�ffmeyer)
95    
96        - New Extension: mouseposition. Tool to collect mouse click positions
97          (map coordinates) in a dialog.  (Frank Koormann)
98    
99     - Documentation:
100    
101        - Add some documentation of the internals of Thuban.
102          See Doc/technotes/
103    
104        - The thuban manual has been partly translated to German
105          (Jan-Oliver Wagner)
106    
107     - Updated translations:
