3            * dbflibmodule.c, pyshapelib_common.h, setup.py: attempt to add support for
4            Unicode and Language Driver ID (LDID) support in dbflib.  Before the strings
5            are send to the underlying shapelib, they are encoded using the code page
6            specified by the database's LDID if present.  To know this LDID requires
7            some unofficial modifications to maptools' shapelib.  Backwards
8            compatibility is ensured by detecting if this field is present and setting
9            HAVE_LANGUAGE_DRIVER accordingly in setup.py.  In absence of the LDID,
10            dbflib assumes a Windows ANSI codepage (cp1252).  
11            New or modified functions/attributes of the DBFFile class:
12            - read_record(...), DBFFile.read_attribute(...): modified, now return
13              Unicode strings.
14            - write_record(...) and write_field(...): modified, now accept both regular
15              and Unicode strings but both are encoded.
16            - language_driver (read-only): new, the numerical value of the LDID
17              (exists only if HAVE_LANGUAGE_DRIVER == 1)
18            New or modified functions/constants of the dbflib module:
19            - language_driver_codec(...): added, translates a numerical LDID into the
20              string name of the Python codec used to encode/decode the strings.
21              (exists only if HAVE_LANGUAGE_DRIVER == 1)
22            - language_driver_name(...): added, translates a numerical LDID into a string
23              representing the corresponding constant.
24              (exists only if HAVE_LANGUAGE_DRIVER == 1)
25            - LDID_NOT_SET, LDID_DOS_USA, ...: constants representing language drivers.
26              (existsonly if HAVE_LANGUAGE_DRIVER == 1)

29    
30            * shapelibmodule.c, dbflibmodule.c, pyshapelib_common.h: added support for
31            Win32 wide character file API.  Unicode filenames are now fully supported
32            on the windows platform: for example exotic filenames like the greek letter
33            pi (u"\u03c0").  This is mostly mimicked from Python's fileobject.c, and
34            needed some severe changes in the C++ shapelib library to support the wide
35            filename API.  All XOpen and XCreate functions now have XOpenW and XCreateW
36            counterparts plus some common code has been split to XOpenEx and XCreateEx.
37            I hope these modifications might one day end up in an official shapelib
38            release.  Meanwhile, compatibility is guaranteed as the specific Unicode
39            code paths are not compiled if the modifications are not found.

41    2007-03-22      Bram de Greve <[email protected]>
42    
43            * shapelibmodule.c, dbflibmodule.c: in __init__ of ShapeFile and DBFFile,
44            throw proper IOError if opening of file failed.
45            
46            * dbflibmodule.c: commit function was incorrectly pointing to
47            dbflib_read_record
48    
49    2007-03-21      Bram de Greve <[email protected]>
50    
51            * shptreemodule.c: restoring something that shouldn't have been committed.
52    
53    2007-03-15      Bram de Greve <[email protected]>
54    
55            * shapelib.c: When creating measured shapes (XYM), treat M value
56            value as optional (defaults to zero).  Similar for
57            3D shapes (XYZM), threat both the Z and M value as options
58            (both default to zero).  When M values are to be given,
59            None is accepted as "no-data" value, and is stored as zero
60            (ESRI shapefile specs define any M value smaller than 1e-38
61            as no-data). Added an unpack_vertex() function to lift some
62            of the load of shpobject_init. Fixed a missing break and
63            PyMem_Free in build_vertex_list(), shapefile_init() and
64            shapelib_create().
65    
66            * dbflibmodule.c: Added support for the FTLogical field type.
67            
68            * shapelibmodule.c, dbflibmodule.c: Added 'name' and 'mode'
69            keywords for ShapeFile and DBFFile constructors and the module's
70            open() function, similiar to Python's file().  Reformatted
71            the doc strings to have a standard look and feel when parsed
72            through pydoc.
73            
74            * shapelib_common.h: added no-data constants.
75            
76            * pytest.py: Added tests for multipatch shapefile with XYZM values.
77            Added tests for FTLogical field.
78    
79    2007-03-15      Bram de Greve <[email protected]>
80    
81            * shapelibmodule.c, dbflibmodule.c: added some Unicode support for the
82            filenames (no internal encoding for DBFFile yet).  It now should similar
83            Unicode support Python's file() (concerning the filename, that is).
84    
85    2007-03-14  Bram de Greve <[email protected]>
86    
87            * shapelibmodule.c: added support for shapetypes with Z and M values
88    
89    2007-03-14  Bram de Greve <[email protected]>
90    
91            * dbflibmodule.c, dbflib.i: replaced dbflib.i by dbflibmodule.c to use
92            hand-crafted Python bindings instead of SWIG generated ones
93            
94            * shapelibmodule.c, shapelib.c: Renamed shapelib.c to shapelibmodule.c
95            to match style of dbflibmodule.c and shptreemodule.c.  Changed some
96            (well, most) names to match same style.
97            
98            * pyshapelib_common.h: do all necessary includes here
99            
100            * setup.py: updated building of dbflib.
101            
102    2007-03-13  Bram de Greve <[email protected]>
103    
104            * shapelib.c, shapelib_common.h: Added part_types() to SHPObject to
105            return tuple of part types. Added __repr__ operators to return a
106            string that can reconstruct the object using eval()
107            
108            * pytest.py: Added tests for part_types() and __repr__.  
109            Humanized the output a bit.
110    
111    2007-03-12  Bram de Greve <[email protected]>
112    
113            * shapelib.c, shapelib.i: replaced shapelib.i by shapelib.c to use
114            hand-crafted Python bindings instead of SWIG generated ones.
115            
116            * pyshapelib_common.h: New file with some common stuff for both
117            shapelib and dbflib
118            
119            * pyshapelib_api.h, setup.py: import/build shapelib instead of shapelibc
120            
121    2006-09-24  Bernhard Reiter  <[email protected]>
122    
123            * dbflib_wrap.c, README: Checked for python version >= 2.4.0a0
124            before using &PyOS_ascii_atof.
125    
126    2006-09-24  Bernhard Reiter  <[email protected]>
127    
128            Added dirty workaround to make dbflib agnostic
129            against decimal_poinst != ".\0".
130    
131            * dbflib_wrap.c: Added call DBFSetatof_function(&PyOS_ascii_atof);
132            to initdbflibc().
133            * README: noted that manual editing of dbflib_wrap.c is necessary now.
134    
135    2005-06-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
136    
137            * shapelib.i (new_SHPObject): Fix the test for the length of the
138            part types.  It used the wrong variable.
139    
140            * shapelib_wrap.c: Regenerated from shapelib.i
141    
142            * pytest.py (make_shapefile): Add some more comments and add an
143            example with a polygon with a hole.
144    
145  2004-12-27  Bernhard Reiter  <[email protected]>  2004-12-27  Bernhard Reiter  <[email protected]>
146                    
147          * README: Refering to the new homepage shapelib.maptools.org now.          * README: Refering to the new homepage shapelib.maptools.org now.
