# Line 1  Line 1 
1    Changes in Thuban 1.2.0
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       (Bernhard Reiter)
19    
20     - Startup improved: We fail right away if the internal encoding could
21       not be determined. In this case, try to set the LANGUAGE variable to
22       one value and use no colon.
23       If we startup you can see the internal encoding in the about dialog now.
24       (Bernhard Reiter)
25    
26     - Support for pysqlite2. (Didrik Pinte)
27    
28     - Added packagin directory, which already has an example how
29       to load all extensions on windows. (Didrik Pinte)
30    
31     - Updated code to support new style wxPython 2.6 imports. So
32       you need at least wyPython 2.6 . (Didrik Pinte)
33    
34     - New Classification "Pattern": Classify text attributes by regexp.
35       (Frank Koormann)
36    
37     - New or Improved Extensions:
38    
39        + Improved svxexport extension 1.0.1 (Bernhard Reiter)
40    
41            * Fixed ARC layer writing: No filling is done.
42            You could actually get polylines with filling in between,
43            when the classification for the lines had a fill color.
44            E.g. this happens when you generate a classification from a ramp.
45    
46            * Fixed label export.
47    
48        + New export_shapefile extension (Jan-Oliver Wagner)
49          Available from the experimental menu.
50    
51     - Known Problems with Extension OGR:
52            - Two tests fail (probably because of an ogr/shapelib problem.)
53            https://wald.intevation.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=91
54            - Is slower than native Shapefile support.
55            - Classification might not work.
56            
57    
58    Changes in Thuban 1.1.0
59    =======================
60    
61     - Thuban rembers directories in file selection dialogs during a thuban
62       session
63    
64     - Add some support for wxPython 2.5 and 2.6.  Thuban is still
65       compatible with wxPython 2.4.
66    
67     - Change the way thuban deals with non-ascii text.  The internal
68       representation is now the user's default encoding.  Thuban works a
69       bit better with a unicode build of wxPython but there are still
70       problems.  (Bernhard Herzog)
71    
72     - Various raster data improvements.  Among other things, translucent
73       images are now supported on a sufficiently recent wxWidgets (2.6).
74       Also, only the part of the window actually covered by the image is
75       drawn.  (Jonathan Coles)
76    
77     - Improved PostGIS support (Bernhard Herzog):
78    
79        - support tables with multiple geometry columns.  The user can
80          select which one to use
81    
82        - support tables with srids
83    
84        - tables don't have to have a column named "gid" anymore.  The user
85          can select the column to use for ids
86    
87        - PostgreSQL views are supported too
88    
89        - support LINESTRING geometries
90    
91        - support more PostgreSQL versions.  7.4 works now.
92    
93     - Added support for sizable points (Jan-Oliver Wagner)
94    
95     - When loading a (moved) session where shapefiles cannot be found, ask
96       the user (Frank Koormann)
97    
98     - The middle mouse button can be used for panning now (Russell Nelson)
99    
100     - Give a warning when the projection selected for a layer is probably
101       wrong (Russell Nelson)
102    
103     - Updated shapelib
104    
105     - New or improved extensions:
106    
107        - A new extension which exports a map as SVG
108          (Markus Rechtien, Bernhard Reiter)
109    
110        - Improved WMS extension (Martin Schulze)
111    
112        - New Extension to dump bounding boxes of all shapes of the selected
113          layer (Frank Koormann)
114    
115        - New extension: umn_mapserver (Jan Sch�ngel)
116    
117        - New extension: OGR (Nina H�ffmeyer)
118    
119        - New Extension: mouseposition. Tool to collect mouse click positions
120          (map coordinates) in a dialog.  (Frank Koormann)
121    
122     - Documentation:
123    
124        - Add some documentation of the internals of Thuban.
125          See Doc/technotes/
126    
127        - The thuban manual has been partly translated to German
128          (Jan-Oliver Wagner)
129    
130     - Updated translations:
131           Russian (Alex Shevlakov)
132    
133     - New translations:
134           Brazilian Portuguese (Eduardo Patto Kanegae)xb
135           Hungarian (Norbert Solymosi)
