+         * Thuban/UI/controls.py, Thuban/UI/identifyview.py, Thuban/UI/join.py,
+         Thuban/UI/labeldialog.py, Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py,
+         Thuban/UI/proj4dialog.py, Thuban/UI/tableview.py, Thuban/UI/view.py:
+         Replace the true/false of wxWindows by True/False of Python 2.2.1.
+-05-26  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (LayerTableFrame.__init__): If there is already
+         a selection present, update the grid accordingly.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.TableShow): Make the dialog
+         resizeable and increase its initial size.
+-05-26  Frank Koormann  <[email protected]>
+         Table export functionality
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py (DBFTable.Width, MemoryTable.Width):

+         (DBFTable.Precision, MemoryTable.Precision): Return decimal precision.
+         (table_to_dbf): Write table to dbf file.
+         (table_to_csv): Write table to csv file.
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (TransientTableBase.Width,
+         TransientTableBase.Precision): Return column width and precision.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (QueryTableFrame.OnSaveAs): Call table_to_dbf
+         or table_to_csv depending on file selection.
+         * test/test_dbf_table.py:
+         Test table_to_dbf (extension of former part of test).
+         * test/test_csv_table.py:

+         Use QueryTableFrame instead of TableFrame.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.LayerShowTable): Prefix the
+         table window with 'Layer Table:' instead of 'Table:'.
+-05-23  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Give all tables a title via mix-in TitledObject.LayerShowTable
+         * Thuban/Model/base.py (TitledObject.SetTitle): Call method 'issue'
+         only if it exists.
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py (DBFTable, MemoryTable): mix-in TitledObject

+-05-23  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         Introducing QueryTableFrame and a very coarse ShowTable implementation.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (LayerTableFrame, QueryTableFrame): Split the
+         class LayerTableFrame into two classes, LayerTableFrame and QueryTableFrame.
+         The latter implements the selection GUI without dependency on a layer.
+         LayerTableFrame now is derived from QueryTableFrame and connects
+         to a layer.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.TableShow): A very coarse
+         implementation that still needs work.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.TreeInfo): Added filename.
+-05-22  Frank Koormann  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (TransientJoinedTable.__init__):
+         Added "outer_join = False" as optional parameter.
+         (TransientJoinedTable.create): If outer join is true, perform a
+         "LEFT OUTER JOIN" instead of "JOIN", which preserves all records of
+         the left table. Records not matching are filled with 0 / None.
+         * Thuban/UI/join.py (JoinDialog.__init__): Checkbox for outer join.
+         (JoinDialog.OnJoin): Consider outer join check box.
+-05-22  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/join.py (JoinDialog.OnJoin): Use exc_info in a
+         somewhat safer way. Storing the traceback in a local variable can
+         lead to memory leaks
+-05-22  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/join.py (JoinDialog.OnJoin): Make sure to really call
+         the wxMessageDialog's Destroy() method.

+         * Thuban/UI/join.py (JoinDialog.__init__): Make use of
+         TransientTable.Title()
+-05-22  Frank Koormann  <[email protected]>
+         Join Dialog, initial version.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.TableJoin): Removed print.
+         * Thuban/UI/join.py (JoinDialog): Functional implementation of
+         former framework. Renamed Table1/Table2 to LeftTable/RightTable
+         in all occurences.
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (TransientJoinedTable.__doc__):
+         Typo fixed.
+-05-22  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Give the tables titles so that the GUI can display more meaningful
+         names. For now the titles are fixed but depend on e.g. filenames
+         or the titles of the joined tables.
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (TransientTable.Title)
+         (TransientJoinedTable.Title, AutoTransientTable.Title): New.

+         for the Title method
+         (TestTransientTable.test_transient_joined_table)
+         (TestTransientTable.test_transient_table): Add test for the Title
+         methods
+         * test/test_memory_table.py (TestMemoryTable.test_title): New.
+         Test for the Title method
+         * test/test_dbf_table.py (TestDBFTable.test_title): New. Test for
+         the Title method
+-05-22  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_layer.py (TestLayer.setUp, TestLayer.tearDown):

+         (TestLayer.test_polygon_layer, TestLayer.test_get_field_type): Use
+         the new way to destroy the layers.
+         (TestLayer.test_derived_store): New. Test for using a layer with a
+         DerivedShapeStore
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.SetShapeStore): Only set the
+         filename if the shape store actually has one.
+-05-22  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py (DBFTable.FileName): New. Accessor method
+         for the filename
+         * test/test_dbf_table.py (TestDBFTable.test_filename): New. Test

+-05-22  Thomas Koester  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/range.py, test/test_range.py: Brought over new Range
+         from SciParam that now really is immutable.
+-05-22  Frank Koormann  <[email protected]>

+         New, methods binding the event methods with the map methods.
+         * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map.TopLayer(), Map.BottomLayer()): New, place
+         layer at top/bottom of layer stack.
+         * Resources/Bitmaps/top_layer.xpm: New button icon.
+         * Resources/Bitmaps/bottom_layer.xpm: New button icon.
+-05-22  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

+         * test/test_session.py (TestSessionSimple.test_remove_table): New.
+         Test for RemoveTable
+-05-22  Thomas Koester  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py: Added short module doc string and CVS id.
+         (ClassGenerator.GenUniformDistribution): Use new Range __init__, too.
+-05-22  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Implement a way to discover dependencies between tables and

+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (TransientTableBase.Dependencies)
+         (TransientJoinedTable.Dependencies)
+         (AutoTransientTable.SimpleQuery): New. Implement the dependencies
+         interface
+         (TransientJoinedTable.__init__): Keep tack of the original table
+         objects in addition to the corresponding transient tables.
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py (DBFTable.Dependencies)
+         (MemoryTable.Dependencies): New. Implement the dependencies
+         interface
+         * Thuban/Model/data.py (ShapeTable): New. Helper class for

+         methods for filename and type
+         (ShapefileStore.Dependencies): New. Implement the dependencies
+         interface
+         (DerivedShapeStore): New class to replace SimpleStore. The main
+         difference to SimpleStore is that it depends not on a shapefile

+         better
+         (SimpleStore.__init__): Add deprecation warning.
+         * test/test_dbf_table.py (TestDBFTable.test_dependencies): New.

+         register tables with the session.
+         (Session.Tables): Return the tables registered with AddTable too.
+         * test/test_session.py (TestSessionSimple.test_add_table): New.
+         Test case for the AddTable method
+-05-22  Frank Koormann  <[email protected]>
+         UI polishing updates: Place main buttons (OK, Cancel, etc) in the
+         lower right corner, center labels for selections, initialize controls
+         in reasonable order for keyboard navigation.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.__init__, ProjFrame.__doLayout)
+         (ProjFrame.__DoOnProjAvail): Determine position of current projection
+         using the wxListBox.FindString() method. Still a problem (#1886)
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py

+         in the Field ListCtrl to the full width.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (LayerTableFrame.__init__): Rename 'Save As'
+         Button to 'Export'. Center Buttons in Selection Box, set Focus to
+         Grid.
+         (LayerTableFrame.OnKeyDown()): New, bound to the grid with EVT_KEY_DOWN,
+         changes focus to the Selection when pressing "Alt-S".
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (LegendTree.__SetVisibilityStyle): Only gray out
+         the text if not visible. The italic font sometimes exceeds the
+         rendering area.
+-05-21  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py (DockFrame): Rename references to _OnClose
+         to OnClose so that Thuban closes correctly.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.OnClose): Call
+         DockFrame.OnClose, not DockFrame._OnClose.
+-05-21  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classgen.py (ClassGenerator.GenQuantiles): Remove
+         references to 'inf' and use new Range __init__ to pass floats
+         directly rather than converting them to strings first.
+         Fixes RTBug #1876.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (ClassGroupRange.SetRange):
+         Use new Range ___init__ to pass floats.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (RasterLayer.__init__): Test if the
+         filename is a valid image file. Throw IOError otherwise.
+         * Thuban/Model/range.py: Brought over new Range from SciParam that
+         is immutable and has an __init__ which can accept floats.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.AddLayer): Move OpenShapefile
+         into try block. AddLayer doesn't throw any exceptions anymore.
+         (MainWindow.AddRasterLayer): Move constructor of RasterLayer into
+         try block.

+         and off so as to prevent excessive messages.
+         (LayerTableFrame.OnQuery): Use TableGrid.ToggleEventListeners
+         to suppress excessive messages when selecting many rows.
+         Fixes RTBug #1880.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py: Added checks against if scale == 0. This
+         is a serious problem that can occur when an image without
+         geo data is loading and causes the map projection bounds to
+         go to infinity. Right now, the solution is to simply try
+         to recover.
+         * extensions/thuban/cpl_mfile.cpp (MFILEClose): Make sure
+         to set the MFILEReceiver attributes even if the data is NULL.
+         * extensions/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp: Improved the error handling
+         and passed GDAL messages back up to the Python layer. Also
+         tried to fix some memory leaks that were present in the original
+         utility but didn't matter because the program aborted.
+         * test/test_range.py: Copied over tests from SciParam. Removed
+         tests against importing. Fixes RTBug #1867.
+-05-21  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_load.py: Remove unused imports and restructure the
+         test code
+         (LoadSessionTest): Split into one class for each test and turn
+         LoadSessionTest itself into the base class for all such session
+         tests.
+         (ClassificationTest): New base class for load tests that test
+         classifications
+         (TestSingleLayer, TestLayerVisibility, TestClassification)
+         (TestLabels, TestLayerProjection, TestRasterLayer): New classes
+         for the individual tests
+         * test/support.py (FileLoadTestCase.filename): New base class for
+         file loading tests
+-05-21  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Resources/Projections/defaults.proj: Renamed 'Universal Transverse
+         Mercator' to 'UTM Zone 32' as a more convenient example.
+         Added 'Gauss Krueger Zone 6'.
+         * Data/iceland_sample_raster.thuban: political polygon now
+         filled transparent to have the raster image visible at once.
+-05-21  Frank Koormann  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow): Renamed _OnClose() back to
+         OnClose() to keep in sync with extensions. Internally Thuban
+         still uses "underscored" names.
+-05-20  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         This puts back Raster layer support. These layers support projections
+         through the GDAL library. Currently, the CVS version is being used.
+         There are no Debian packages available although this may change soon.
+         A GDAL driver was extended to support writing to memory rather to
+         files.
+         There is still some work that needs to be done, such as some error
+         handling when loading invalid images or when there is a problem
+         projecting the image. This putback simply checks in the majority
+         of the work.
+         * setup.py: Add gdalwarp library extension.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (BaseLayer.HasClassification): New.
+         Defaults to False, but can be overridden by subclasses if they
+         support classification.
+         (RasterLayer): New. Defines a new layer that represents an
+         image.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.__init__): Add rasterlayer
+         tag handler.
+         (SessionLoader.start_layer): Encode the filename.
+         (SessionLoader.start_rasterlayer, SessionLoader.end_rasterlayer):
+         New. Supports reading a rasterlayer tag.
+         * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map.BoundingBox): Fix typo in comment.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (XMLWriter.encode): Don't assume that we
+         get a string in Latin1. If we get such as string convert it to
+         unicode first, otherwise leave if alone before encoding.
+         (SessionSaver.write_layer): Add support for writing both Layers
+         and RasterLayers.
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (AutoTransientTable.SimpleQuery):
+         The right argument may not be a string, it could also be a Column.
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.CreateMainWindow):
+         Make initial window size 600x400. Fixes RTBug #1872.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): Rearrange how
+         the dialog is constructed so that we can support layers that
+         do not have classifications.
+         (Classifier._OnTry): Only build a classification if the layer
+         supports one.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py: Change all checks that a layer is an
+         instance of Layer into checks against BaseLayer.
+         (LegendTree.__FillTreeLayer): Only add children to a branch if
+         the layer supports classification.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.NewSession,
+         MainWindow.OpenSession): Don't proceed with an action if the
+         user chooses Cancel when they are asked to save changes.
+         (MainWindow.AddRasterLayer): New. Open a dialog to allow the
+         user to select an image file. Create a new RasterLayer and add
+         it to the map.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.render_map): Add support
+         for rendering RasterLayer layers.
+         (MapRenderer.draw_raster_layer): Actually method that calls
+         the GDALWarp python wrapper and constructs an image from the
+         data returned.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (LayerTableFrame.__init__): Change the
+         Choices symbols to match those used in the table query method.
+         Replace deprecated method calls on table with new method names.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.set_view_transform): Try to limit
+         how small the scale can get. This still needs more testing.
+         * extensions/thuban/bmpdataset.cpp: New, but copied from GDAL.
+         Provides a driver to output in .bmp format.
+         * extensions/thuban/cpl_mfile.cpp, extensions/thuban/cpl_mfile.h:
+         New. Provides IO routines which write to memory, rather than a file.
+         * extensions/thuban/gdalwarp.cpp: New, but basically a direct copy
+         of the gdalwarp utility provided in GDAL. Added function calls
+         that can be accessed from python.
+         * Data/iceland_sample_raster.thuban: New. Sample file that uses
+         a raster layer.
+         * Data/iceland/island.tfw, Data/iceland/island.tif: New. Raster
+         layer image data.
+         * Doc/thuban.dtd: Added rasterlayer attribute definition.
+         * test/test_layer.py, test/test_load.py, test/test_save.py: Added
+         tests associated with the raster layer code.
+         * test/test_transientdb.py
+         (TestTransientTable.test_auto_transient_table_query): Added a test
+         for using a Column object as the "right" parameter to a query.
+-05-19  Frank Koormann  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/version.py (get_changelog_date):
+         Catch exceptions if ChangeLog does not exist.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.Export): Bugfix

+         * Thuban/version.py: New, version information for Thuban: Last
+         modification date and last ChangeLog entry date.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.About()): Extended version
+         information: Display Thuban, wxPython and Python version.
+-05-16  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py: Remove some unused imports including the
+         __future__ import for nested_scopes as Thuban relies on Python 2.2
+         now.
+         (XMLWriter.encode): Remove the special case for a None argument.
+         In the saver encode is always called with a string argument.
+-05-16  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/__init__.py: Remove the work-around for the locale bug
+         in wxPython (at least when usinvg wxGTK) prior to 2.4. The symptom
+         of the bug was that e.g. float("1.2") would fail. Thuban now
+         requires 2.4.x.
+-05-16  Frank Koormann   <[email protected]>
+         Printing enhancement and WMF export (under Win32)
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (ExportRenderer): New, derived from
+         ScreenRenderer. Renders Map, Legend and Scalebar for export.
+         (PrinterRenderer): New, derived from ExportRenderer. Replaces the old
+         PrintRender.

+         (GeoPanel): Add support for selecting the units that the
+         source data is in (Radians or Degrees).
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Optimize
+         the rendering loop by reducing the number of if's, removing the
+         unnecessary try/except block, and checking if the old group
+         is the same as the new one (which happens a lot if there is
+         no classification, or lots of shapes are in the same group).
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.OnPaint): Add a try/except block
+         around the redraw routine to try to catch problems that the user
+         may create by selecting invalid projections for the data set and
+         map. Clears the display if there are any problems and prints the
+         error.
+         (MapCanvas.do_redraw): Use DC.Clear() instead of drawing a filled
+         rectangle.
+         * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (project_point): First invert the
+         supplied point (which should be in projected coordinates) using
+         the layer's projection and then project the point using the
+         map's projection.
+         (project_points): Use project_point() to project each point.
+-04-30  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.SetShapeStore): Fixed a bug:
+         don't set the Classification to None if the classfication field
+         is None (ie only a DEFAULT).
+-04-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py: Fix some typos.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.identify_view_on_demand): Do

+-04-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         Add a visible parameter in the layer XML tag. The default value is

+-04-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.SetMap): Look up the

+         supplied to SetMap(). Fixes RTbug #1770.
+-04-29  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Next step of table implementation. Introduce a transient database
+         using SQLite that some of the data is copied to on demand. This
+         allows us to do joins and other operations that require an index
+         for good performance with reasonable efficiency. Thuban now needs
+         SQLite 2.8.0 and pysqlite 0.4.1. Older versions may work but I
+         haven't tested that.
+         * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py: New. Transient database
+         implementation.
+         * test/test_transientdb.py: New. Tests for the transient DB
+         classes.
+         * Thuban/Model/session.py (AutoRemoveFile, AutoRemoveDir): New
+         classes to help automatically remove temporary files and

+         (Session.__init__): New instance variables temp_dir for the
+         temporary directory and transient_db for the SQLite database
+         (Session.temp_directory): New. Create a temporary directory if not
+         yet done and return its name. Use AutoRemoveDir to have it
+         automatically deleted
+         (Session.TransientDB): Instantiate the transient database if not
+         done yet and return it.
+         * Thuban/Model/data.py (ShapefileStore.__init__): Use an
+         AutoTransientTable so that data is copied to the transient DB on
+         demand.
+         (SimpleStore): New class that simply combines a table and a
+         shapefile
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py (Table, DBFTable): Rename Table into
+         DBFTable and update its doc-string to reflect the fact that this
+         is only the table interface to a DBF file. Table is now an alias
+         for DBFTable for temporary backwards compatibility.
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnExit): Make sure
+         the last reference to the session goes away so that the temporary
+         files are removed properly.
+         * test/test_load.py (LoadSessionTest.tearDown): Remove the
+         reference to the session to make sure the temporary files are
+         removed.
+-04-29  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (XMLReader.__init__, XMLReader.read): Turn
+         the __parser instance variable into a normal local variable in
+         read. It's only used there and read will never be called more than
+         once. Plus it introduces a reference cycle that keeps can keep the
+         session object alive for a long time.
+-04-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/proj.py (Projection): Removed Set*() methods to make
+         Projection an immutable item. Fixes RTbug #1825.
+         (Projection.__init__): Initialize instance variables here.
+         (ProjFile.Replace): New. Replace the given projection object with
+         the new projection object. This solves the problem of needing the
+         mutator Projection.SetProjection() in the ProjFrame class and
+         allows a projection to change parameters without changing its
+         location in the file.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.SaveSessionAs): Dialog should
+         be of type wxSAVE and should verify overwriting a file.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame._OnSave): Use the new
+         ProjFile.Replace() method instead of the mutator
+         Projection.SetProjection(). Also requires that we reassign the
+         client data to the new projection.
+         * test/test_proj.py (TestProjection.test): Test GetName() and
+         GetAllParameters()
+         (TestProjFile.test): Remove tests for Set*() methods. Add tests
+         for Replace().

+-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/proj.py (Projection.SetName): Set the name

+         (Projection.SetAllParameters): New. Set the projection's
+         parameter list to the one supplied.
+         (Projection.SetProjection): New. Set the projection's
+         properties to those of the supplied Projection.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.MapProjection): Set
+         the dialog title to include the map's title.
+         (MainWindow.LayerProjection): Set the dialog title to include
+         the layer's title.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.__ShowError): Consolidate
+         error dialogs into a single method call.
+         (ProjFrame.__VerifyButtons): Add more states to check.
+         (ProjFrame.__GetProjection): Return the current state of an
+         edited projection or None.
+         (ProjFrame.__FillAvailList): Remove checks for states that
+         shouldn't exist.
+         (ProjFrame._OnNew): Clear all selected items and supply
+         a projection panel if necessary.
+         * test/test_proj.py (TestProjFile.test): Add tests for
+         ProjFile.SetAllParameters, ProjFile.SetProjection,
+         ProjFile.SetName.
+-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.__FillAvailList): Now
+         takes an optional argument to select the current projection.
+         This does not guarantee that the item is visible due to
+         limited wxWindows functionality. Fixes RTBug #1821.
+-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_projection): Remember
+         the projection name and use it when constructing the Projection
+         object.
+         * Thuban/Model/proj.py (Projection.__init__): Change the default
+         value for 'name' to None and then test if name is equal to None
+         in the body of the constructor. This way the caller doesn't have to
+         know what the default value should be. Namely, useful in load.py
+         where we have to pick a default value if the 'name' parameter
+         doesn't exist in the XML file.
+         * test/test_load.py (LoadSessionTest.testLayerProjection): New.
+         Tests a file where a layer has a projection.
+-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.TreeInfo): Add an item to the
+         tree for projection information.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (XMLReader.GetFilename): Renamed from
+         XMLReader.GetFileName.
+         (SessionLoader): Added support for loading projection tags that
+         appear inside a layer.
+         * Thuban/Model/proj.py (ProjFile): Document the class. Move
+         back to using a list because the order of the projections in
+         the file is important to maintain. Fixes RTbug #1817.
+         * Thuban/Model/resource.py: Rename calls to ProjFile.GetFileName
+         to ProjFile.GetFilename.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_layer): Save projection
+         information.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame._OnAddToList): Renamed from
+         ProjFrame._OnSaveAs. Removed old dead code from previous
+         implementation.
+         (ProjFrame._OnExport): Add support for exporting more than one
+         projection to a single file.
+         (ProjFrame.__FillAvailList): use string formatting (% operator)
+         to build strings that are (partly) translated. Fixes RTbug #1818.
+         * test/test_proj.py (TestProjFile.test): New. Tests the base ProjFile
+         class.
+-04-24  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * po/es.po: Updated Spanish translation by Daniel Calvelo Aros
+         * po/fr.po: New. French translation by Daniel Calvelo Aros

+-04-24  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.GetProjection): New. Needed to
+         implement the interface that the ProjFrame dialog expects.
+         * Thuban/Model/proj.py (Projection.SetName): New. Allows the
+         name of the projection to be changed.
+         (ProjFile): Use a dictionary instead of a list so that removing
+         projections is easier and we are sure about uniqueness.
+         (ProjFile.Remove): Remove the given projection object.
+         * Thuban/Model/resource.py (GetSystemProjFiles, GetUserProjFiles):
+         Return a list with only one projection file instead of searching for
+         any projection file. This simplifies many things if the user can
+         only have one system file and one user file.
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py: Change all references to
+         genCombo to genChoice.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Add a Projection option under the
+         layer menu.
+         (MainWindow.LayerProjection): New. Open up a projection window
+         for a layer.
+         * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py: Large changes to how the dialog is
+         laid out. Use three panels instead of one. One for the list of
+         projections, one for the edit controls, and one for the buttons.
+         Fixed resizing problems so that the dialog resizes correctly
+         when the projection panel changes. Added import/export, save, and
+         new buttons/functionality.
+-04-24  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

+         (open_shapefile): Removed. No longer needed with the shape store.
+         (Layer.SetShapeStore, Layer.ShapeStore): New methods to set and

+         (TestMapWithContents.tearDown): Make sure that all references to
+         layers, maps and sessions are removed otherwise we may get a

+         (s_draw_info, free_draw_info, draw_polygon_init): Implement the
+         handling of these low-level parameters so that each s_draw_info
+         instance is handled as a CObject at python level that also
+         contains real references to the actual python objects which
+         contain the values in the struct. Add free_draw_info as the
+         destructor.

+         editing of a group properties class into a wxWindows control.
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py: It was decided that if the user closes

+-04-07  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         Since we now say that the order of the groups in a classification
+         matters, it makes sense to be able to manipulate that order. Most
+         of the changes to Thuban/Model/classification.py are to that end.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (Classification.AppendGroup,
+         Classification.InsertGroup, Classification.ReplaceGroup,
+         Classification.RemoveGroup, Classification.GetGroup): Do as the
+         names imply.
+         (Classification.FindGroup): This was called GetGroup, but GetGroup
+         takes an index, while FindGroup takes a value.
+         (Classification.__deepcopy__): Copy all the groups, BUT NOT THE LAYER
+         REFERENCE. Currently there is a cyclic reference between the layer
+         and its classification. If the classification doesn't need to know
+         its owning layer we can change this, since it may make sense to be
+         able to use the same classification with different layers.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py: Use Classification.AppendGroup(), not AddGroup()
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py: Use Classification.AppendGroup(),
+         not AddGroup()
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Now that we can depend on the order in
+         a Classification and have methods to manipulate that order we don't
+         need to use our own data structures in the grid. We can simply make
+         the grid/table access the information they need from a copy of
+         the classification object.
+         (Classifier._OnCloseBtn): Event handler for when the user clicks
+         'Close'. This is needed so if the user applies changes and then
+         continues to change the table the user has the option of discarding
+         the most recent changes and keeping what they applied.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Put "Show Legend" and "Show Session Tree"
+         into the same group.
+         * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (check_version): If Thuban is compiled
+         with a really old version of proj, PJ_VERSION won't even be defined.
+         If it isn't defined then just compile so that the function always
+         returns Py_False.
+         * test/test_classification.py: Fix tests to use the renamed methods.
+         Still need to write tests for the new methods.
+-04-04  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__SelectField): Move the
+         call to SetSelection out of the method and before the call
+         to __SelectField in __init__. This prevents a recursion of events
+         when _OnFieldSelect is triggered by the user.
+-04-04  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Rename Color.None to
+         Color.Transparent.
+         (ClassGroupProperties.SetLineColori, ClassGroupProperties.SetFill):
+         Don't bother copying the color, since Colors are immutable.
+         * Thuban/Model/color.py, Thuban/Model/layer.py, Thuban/Model/load.py,
+         Thuban/UI/classifier.py, Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py,
+         Thuban/UI/renderer.py, Thuban/UI/view.py:
+         Rename Color.None to Color.Transparent.
+         * test/test_classification.py, test/test_load.py: Rename Color.None
+         to Color.Transparent.
+-04-04  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Fix assert calls.
+         (ClassGroupProperties.SetLineColor, ClassGroupProperties.SetFill):
+         Copy the color parameter rather than hold onto a reference.
+         * Thuban/Model/color.py (Color.__copy__, Color.__deepcopy): Copy
+         the color object.
+         (NoColor.__copy__, NoColor.__deepcopy): Return 'self' so that we
+         are sure there exists only one refernce to Color.None in the system.
+         This allows us to use 'is' rather than the comparision functions.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py: Fix assert calls.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Fix assert calls.
+         (ClassGrid._OnCellDClick): Call up to the classifier to open the
+         dialog to edit the groups properties.
+         (ClassGrid._OnCellResize): Make sure that the scollbars are drawn
+         correctly if a cell is resized.
+         (ClassTable.SetClassification): New. Changes the classification
+         that is in the table.
+         (ClassTable.__SetRow): Allow groups to be prepended.
+         (Classifier): New code for opening the EditProperties and
+         GenerateRanges dialogs.
+         (SelectPropertiesDialog.__GetColor): Only set the color in the
+         color dialog if the current color is not None.
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py: Fix assert calls.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py: Fix assert calls.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py: Fix assert calls.
+         * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (ClassGenDialog): Dialog for generating
+         classifications.
+         (GenRangePanel): Panel specific to range generation.
+         (GenSingletonPanel): Panel specific to singleton generation.
+         (ClassGenerator): Class responsible for actually generating
+         the classification from the data gathered in the dialog box.
+         (PropertyRamp): Generates properties whose values range from
+         a starting property to an ending property.
+-04-03  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/support.py (print_garbage_information): New function that
+         prints information about still connected messages and memory
+         leaks.
+         (run_suite): Removed.
+         (run_tests): New function for use as a replacement of
+         unittest.main in the test_* files. This one calls
+         print_garbage_information at the end.
+         * test/runtests.py (main): Use support.print_garbage_information
+         * test/test_layer.py: Use support.run_tests instead of
+         unittest.main so we get memory leak information
+         (TestLayer.test_arc_layer, TestLayer.test_polygon_layer)
+         (TestLayer.test_point_layer, TestLayer.test_empty_layer)
+         (TestLayerLegend.test_visibility): Call the layer's Destroy method
+         to fix a memory leak.

+         (TestClassification.test_classification): Call the layer's Destroy
+         method to fix a memory leak.
+-04-02  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (check_version, check_version_gtk):
+         Handle the reference counts of the return value and errors in
+         PyArg_ParseTuple correctly.
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OpenSession): Make
+         sure the filename is absolute to avoid problems when saving the
+         session again
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py: Remove unnecessary import. Fix a typo.
+-04-01  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         *  Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_point_shape): Check

+         position (although position doesn't work yet under GTK).
+         (DockableWindow.Destroy): New. Called when the window must be
+         closed. Namely needed when the DockFrame closes and must close
+         its children.
+         (DockFrame): Listen for EVT_CLOSE and destroy all children.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py (LegendPanel.Destroy): New. Cleans up

+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py: Complete rework on the dock code so that
+         that it is fairly removed from the rest of the Thuban application.
+         It is easy to add new docks which the rest of the program having
+         to be aware of them.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py: Modifications to support selecting a

+         This putback contains the code for dockable windows. There is
+         no support in wxWindows as of this date for windows that can
+         attach themselves to other windows.
+         The current model contains a DockableWindow which has a parent
+         window for when it is detached and a dock window that it puts
+         its contents in when it is docked. The contents of a DockableWindow
+         must be a DockPanel. DockPanel itself derives from wxPanel.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.ClassChanged): Send a LAYER_CHANGED
+         message, not a LAYER_LEGEND_CHANGED message.
+         * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map): Forward LAYER_CHANGED messages.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): Use wxADJUST_MINSIZE
+         as one of the style properties for the fieldTypeText item to
+         be sure that its size is correct when the text changes.
+         * Thuban/UI/dock.py: New. Classes for the DockPanel and
+         DockableWindow.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py: Added some more buttons and made the
+         LegendPanel a DockPanel.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Added sash windows to the main window
+         and supporting functions for manipulating the sashes.
+         (MainWindow.ShowLegend): Create a DockableWindow with the
+         LegendPanel as the contents.
+         * Thuban/UI/messages.py: Added DOCKABLE_* messages
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanves.SetMap): Listen for LAYER_CHANGED,
+         not LAYER_LEGEND_CHANGED, messages.
+-03-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py: Added custom script bdist_rpm_build_script so that
+         when the rpm is built the path to wx-config is correct.
+         * setup.cfg: Added line saying to use the custom build script
+-03-20  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         Initial implementation of the Legend.
+         * Thuban/UI/legend.py: New. Creates a window that shows the map's
+         Legend information and allows the user to add/modify classifications
+         and how the layers are drawn on the map.
+         * setup.py: New command 'build_docs' which currently uses
+         happydoc to generate html documentation for Thuban.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (ClassGroup.GetDisplayText): New.
+         Returns a string which is appropriately describes the group.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.SetClassification): Generate a
+         LAYER_CHANGED event instead of a LAYER_LEGEND_CHANGED event.
+         * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map): Rename messages and use new, more
+         specific, messages.
+         * Thuban/Model/messages.py: New message to indicate that a layer's

+         when layers have been added/removed/changed or if the stacking order
+         of the layers has changed.
+         * Thuban/Model/session.py: Rename and use new messages.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Remember if any changes have actually
+         been applied so that if the dialog is cancelled without an application
+         of changes we don't have to set a new classification.
+         (ClassDataPreviewer): Pulled out the window specific code and put it
+         ClassDataPreviewWindow. ClassDataPreviewer can then be used to draw
+         symbols on any DC.

+         * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (check_version): Checks the given
+         version against what wxproj was compiled with.
+         (check_version_gtk): If wxproj was compiled with gtk then check
+         the given version against the version of the gtk library
+         currently being used.
+-03-14  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * test/test_command.py: Run the tests when the module is run as a
+         script
+-03-14  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         Implement selection of multiple selected shapes in the same layer:
+         - Introduce a new class to hold the selection. This basically
+           replaces the interactor which was nothing more than the
+           selection anyway. A major difference is of course that the new
+           selection class supports multiple selected shapes in one layer
+         - Move the object that represents the selection from the
+           application to the canvas. The canvas is a better place than the
+           application because the selection represents which shapes and
+           layer of the map displayed by the canvas are selected and
+           affects how the map is drawn.
+         - Make the selection and its messages publicly available through
+           the mainwindow.
+         - The non-modal dialogs do not get a reference to the interactor
+           anymore as they can simply refer to their parent, the
+           mainwindow, for the what the interactor had to offer.
+         * Thuban/UI/selection.py: New module with a class to represent the
+         selection.
+         * Thuban/UI/messages.py (SELECTED_TABLE, SELECTED_MAP): Remove
+         these unused messages
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnInit)
+         (ThubanApplication.OnExit, ThubanApplication.SetSession): The
+         interactor is gone now.
+         (ThubanApplication.CreateMainWindow): There is no interactor
+         anymore so we pass None as the interactor argument for now for
+         compatibility.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.delegated_messages)
+         (MapCanvas.Subscribe, MapCanvas.Unsubscribe): In Subscribe and
+         Unsubscribe, delegate messages according to the delegated_messages
+         class variable.
+         (MapCanvas.__getattr__, MapCanvas.delegated_methods): Get some
+         attributes from instance variables as described with the
+         delegated_methods class variable.
+         (MapCanvas.__init__): New instance variable selection holding the
+         current selection
+         (MapCanvas.do_redraw): Deal with multiple selected shapes. Simply
+         pass them on to the renderer
+         (MapCanvas.SetMap): Clear the selection when a different map is
+         selected.
+         (MapCanvas.shape_selected): Simple force a complete redraw. The
+         selection class now takes care of only issueing SHAPES_SELECTED
+         messages when the set of selected shapes actually does change.
+         (MapCanvas.SelectShapeAt): The selection is now managed in
+         self.selection
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.delegated_messages)

+         attributes from instance variables as described with the
+         delegated_methods class variable.
+         (MainWindow.__init__): The interactor as ivar is gone. The
+         parameter is still there for compatibility. The selection messages
+         now come from the canvas.
+         (MainWindow.current_layer, MainWindow.has_selected_layer):
+         Delegate to the the canvas.
+         (MainWindow.LayerShowTable, MainWindow.Classify)
+         (MainWindow.identify_view_on_demand): The dialogs don't need the
+         interactor parameter anymore.
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (TableFrame.__init__)
+         (LayerTableFrame.__init__, LayerTableFrame.OnClose)
+         (LayerTableFrame.row_selected): The interactor is gone. It's job
+         from the dialog's point of view is now done by the mainwindow,

+         of SELECTED_SHAPE
+         * Thuban/UI/dialogs.py (NonModalDialog.__init__): The interactor
+         is gone. It's job from the dialog's point of view is now done by
+         the mainwindow, i.e. the parent.

+         mainwindow, i.e. the parent.
+         (SessionTreeCtrl.__init__): New parameter mainwindow which is
+         stored as self.mainwindow. The mainwindow is need so that the tree
+         can still subscribe to the selection messages.
+         (SessionTreeCtrl.__init__, SessionTreeCtrl.unsubscribe_all)
+         (SessionTreeCtrl.update_tree, SessionTreeCtrl.OnSelChanged): The
+         selection is now accessible through the mainwindow. Subscribe to
+         SHAPES_SELECTED instead of SELECTED_SHAPE
+         * Thuban/UI/identifyview.py (IdentifyView.__init__): Use the
+         SHAPES_SELECTED message now.
+         (IdentifyView.selected_shape): Now subscribed to SHAPES_SELECTED,
+         so deal with multiple shapes
+         (IdentifyView.__init__, IdentifyView.OnClose): The interactor is
+         gone. It's job from the dialog's point of view is now done by the
+         mainwindow, i.e. the parent.
+         * Thuban/UI/controls.py (RecordListCtrl.fill_list): The second
+         parameter is now a list of shape ids.
+         (RecordTable.SetTable): The second parameter is now a list of
+         indices.

+         list of shape ids.
+         (MapRenderer.draw_label_layer): Deal with multiple selected
+         shapes. Rearrange the code a bit so that the setup and shape type
+         distinctions are only executed once.
+         * test/test_selection.py: Test cases for the selection class
+-03-11  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py: Temporary fix so that the xml reader
+         doesn't cause Thuban to crash.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py: Handle the cyclic references between
+         a layer and its classification better, and be sure to disconnect
+         the classification from the layer when the layer is destroyed
+         so that we don't maintain a cyclic reference that may not be
+         garbage collected.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: See comment for layer.py.
+-03-12  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>
+         * HOWTO-Release: New. Information on the steps for releasing
+         a new version of Thuban.
+-03-11  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Add normal border to SelectPropertiesDialog.
+         Use True instead of true.
+         (Classifier): Should have a single panel in which all the controls lie.
+         * Thuban/UI/proj4dialog.py: Add normal border.
+         * Thuban/UI/tree.py: Fixed problem with bad item images under Windows.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Use True instead of true.
+         * setup.py: Update some definitions to use wxWindows2.4 files
+         * Data/iceland_sample_class.thuban: Fixed file so that the
+         field_type information is present.
+-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): Make the
+         field type label grow so that when the text changes the
+         size is updated correctly. This may be a wxWindows bug.
+-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py: Changed SESSION_CHANGED to
+         SESSION_REPLACED.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Wrap text with _().
+         (ClassGrid.CreateTable): Set dimensions and size hints here,
+         instead of in Reset, so we only set the size once.
+         * Thuban/UI/dialogs.py: Don't need Shutdown(); just use Close()!
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.prepare_new_session):
+         Call Close() instead of Shutdown().
+         * Thuban/UI/messages.py: Changed SESSION_CHANGED to SESSION_REPLACED.
+         * Thuban/UI/tree.py: Changed SESSION_CHANGED to SESSION_REPLACED.
+         Go back to using OnClose() instead of Shutdown().
+-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier): SelectField() needed
+         to know the old field index as well as the new one.
+-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier): Use __SelectField()
+         to correctly set the table information and call this from
+         __init__ and from _OnFieldSelect so that all the information
+         is up to date when the dialog opens and when a field is changed.
+-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (Classification): Don't use
+         layer's message function directly, use the ClassChanged() method
+         when then classification changes. SetField/SetFieldType/SetLayer
+         must keep the information about field name and field type in
+         sync when an owning layer is set or removed.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py: Added ClassChanged() so that the
+         classification can tell the layer when its data has changed.
+         (Layer.SetClassification): Accepts None as an arguement to
+         remove the current classification and correctly handles
+         adding a new classification.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py: Comment out print statement
+         * test/test_classification.py, test/test_save.py: New and
+         improved tests.
+-03-07  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Implemented __copy__ and
+         __deepcopy__ for ClassGroup* and ClassGroupProperites so
+         they can easily be copied by the classifier dialog.
+         (ClassGroupProperites.__init__): The default line color should
+         have been Color.Black.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Setting and Getting table values now
+         uses a consistent set of functions.
+         (Classifier): Now non-modal. Has field type label which changes
+         as the field changes. Keep track of buttons in a list so that
+         we can enable/disable the buttons when the None field is selected.
+         (SelectPropertiesDialog): Add buttons to make the colors transparent.
+         * Thuban/UI/dialogs.py (NonModalDialog.Shutdown): New method which
+         does what OnClose did, but can be called by the application to
+         close a window. Needed when a session changes, and we have to
+         close the classifier windows.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.prepare_new_session):
+         Shuts down open dialogs. Used when a new session is created
+         or a session is opened.
+         (MainWindow.SaveSession): Should only call application.SaveSession()
+         if we don't call SaveSessionAs first.
+         (MainWindow.Classify): Allow different classifier dialogs for
+         different layers.
+         * Thuban/UI/tree.py (SessionTreeView): Remove OnClose and let
+         the parent class handle it. Add Shutdown() to unsubscibe from
+         event notification and call the parent Shutdown(). This was
+         necessary so the application can close the tree window.
+-03-06  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Minor documentation changes,
+         Addition of __eq__ and __ne__ methods.

+         and Layer.SetClassification().
+         * Thuban/Model/color.py: Addition of __eq__ and __ne__ methods.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (SetClassification): prevent recursion
+         between this method and Classification.SetLayer().
+         * test/test_classification.py, test/test_load.py,
+         test/test_session.py: Fixed and added tests for the classification
+         classes.
+-03-06  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (ClassGrid.__init__)
+         (ClassGrid.CreateTable): Move the SetSelectionMode call to
+         CreateTable because otherwise it triggers an assertion in
+         wxPython/wxGTK 2.4.
+-03-05  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/common.py: Move FIELDTYPE constants back to table.py.

+         Fixed RTbug #1713, #1714. Added Move[Up|Down] buttons.
+         Store just the groups in the table and generate the other
+         column information when it is requested. Add "None" field
+         to pull-down to select no classification.
+         * Thuban/common.py: Moved FIELDTYPE constants from table.py
+         (Str2Num): Only catch ValueError exceptions.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Class documentation. Renaming
+         of methods with Stroke to Line. Groups are stored in a single
+         list with the default as the first element. Groups are searched
+         in the order they appear in the list.
+         * Thuban/Model/color.py: Documentation.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer): Add GetFieldType to retreive
+         the kind of data represented by a field.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py (ProcessSession): Use proper string
+         conversion function; fixes RTbug #1713.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (Saver): Store field type information.
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py: Put FIELDTYPE constants in common.py.
+         (Table): Add field_info_by_name() to retrieve field information
+         by specifying the field name, not the number.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Function name changes.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Only
+         get the layer classification once. Don't try to classify
+         values when the field is None: just use the default properties.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py: Function name changes.
+         * Doc/thuban.dtd: Add field_type attribute to a classification.
+-03-04  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

+         the fill and stroke layer attributes optional with suitable
+         default values. Add the stroke_width layer attribute. Use correct
+         syntax for empty elements. Make the attribute list for labels
+         refer to the label element.
+-03-04  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py (thuban_build_py.build): Add a comment about distutils in
+         Python 2.3 containing some of the functionality we implement in
+         setup.py ourselves.
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (ClassGrid.__init__): Set the table
+         before the selection mode. Doing it the other way round triggers
+         an assertion in wxWindows.
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (escape): Fix typo in doc-string
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Remove unnecessary wxPython
+         import
+-03-04  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (ClassGroupRange.GetProperties):
+         Parameter 'value' should default to None.

+         with __ParseInput whereby it would not allow strings (only numbers)
+         to be entered.
+         (Classifier): Added button and supporting code for removing
+         selected rows.
+-02-27  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/common.py: Moved color conversion functions into
+         Thuban/UI/common.py.
+         (Str2Num): Now converts the float (not the string) to a long/int
+         so that an exception isn't thrown.
+         * Thuban/UI/common.py: Common functions used in several UI modules
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Changed the class hierarchy
+         so that a Classification consists of Groups which return
+         Properties when a value matches a Group.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py: Fixed name resolution problem.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py: Use new Classification and Group functions.

+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py: Use new Classification and Group functions.
+         Use common.py functions.
+         * Thuban/UI/tree.py: Use common.py functions.

+         functions from Thuban color objects to wxWindow colour objects.
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (Classification): Renamed
+         GetProperties() to GetClassData(). Used the new iterator
+         in TreeInfo().
+         (ClassIterator): Iterator implementation to iterate over the
+         ClassData objects in a classification object.

+         have more meaningful titles.
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Change
+         Classification method name from GetProperties to GetClassData.
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.find_shape_at): Use method calls

+-02-24  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Remove
+         unneeded Shape() call. Rendering is substantially faster without
+         it and it avoids some problems with broken shape files.
+-02-20  Frank Koormann   <[email protected]>

+         with the above code changes.
+-02-03  Jonathan Coles  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/classification.py (Classification): Added getNull()
+         to return the NullData reference
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.SetFill, Layer.SetStroke,
+         Layer.SetStrokeWidth): Modified these functions to change the
+         null data in the classification rather than keep these values
+         directly in the Layer class. Menu options to change these values
+         work again.
+-01-28  Jonathan Coles  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier): Resolved merging conflicts.
+         Fixed crashing problem on some systems. Dialog box shows
+         classification data.

+         Colors in the tree view.
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.TreeInfo): Added a call to build

+-09-11  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Underline the 'x' in "Exit" instead of

+         (Table.write_record): Open the DBF file for writing when necessary
+-08-27  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/Model/table.py (Table.write_record, Table.__init__): Open

+         callback into a separate function so that we can reuse it
+         elsewhere
+         * Thuban/Model/save.py (Saver): New class to handle serializing a
+         session into an XML file. The main reason to introduce a class is
+         that applications built on Thuban can derive from it so that they
+         can save additional information in a session file.
+         (save_session): Delegate almost all the work to the Saver class.
+         Rename the filename argument to file because it may be a file like
+         object now.
+         * Thuban/Model/load.py: Get rid of the Python 1.5.2 compatibility

+         import the other Thuban modules.
+         (ProcessSession, load_session): Refactor the ProcessSession to
+         have one method for each element start and end tag so that derived
+         classes can easily override the processing of individual tags.
+         Also, always parse with namespaces enabled because applications

+         the session file format.

+         module.

+         issued.
+         (Map.RaiseLayer, Map.LowerLayer): Only issue LAYERS_CHANGED
+         message if the stacking order actually has changed. Add
+         doc-strings.

+         (MapCanvas.find_shape_at): Iterate backwards (i.e. with decreasing
+         index, i.e. reversed drawing order) so that objects appearing to
+         be in from of others are selected first. This is probably mostly
+         relevant for point shapes where the symbols used may overlap
+         * Thuban/Model/session.py (create_empty_session): Unset the
+         modified bit before returning it
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.NewSession): Use
+         create_empty_session session to create the new, empty session.

+         the tool bitmaps.
+         (MainWindow.OnClose, MainWindow.save_modified_session): Separate
+         the code that asks whether the session should be saved into the
+         new method save_modified_session.
+         (MainWindow.OpenSession, MainWindow.NewSession): Use the new
+         method to save modified session here too.
+-09-11  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py (InnoIconItem): fix typo
+         (thuban_bdist_inno.run):
+         (bdist_inno.run): Move the decision not to create symlinks on
+         non-nt platforms to thuban_bdist_inno and do it unconditinally
+         since we never want to create the symlinks here
+-09-10  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.IdentifyTool): Popup the
+         identify view immediately

+         new class RecordListCtrl
+         * Thuban/UI/labeldialog.py (LabelDialog.OnOK): Check whether the
+         return value of GetValue is None instead of using it as a boolean
+         directly so that Zero numbers are handled properly.
+         (LabelListCtrl): Derive from the new class
+         SelectableRecordListCtrl
+         * Thuban/UI/proj4dialog.py (Proj4Dialog.__init__):
+         (Proj4Dialog.dialogLayout): Make the window resizable and set the
+         size of the text control explicitly to make the sizers work on
+         both Windows and X.
+-09-07  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.find_shape_at):Add a new parameter
+         that can limit the search to the currently selected layer.
+         (MapCanvas.SelectShapeAt): Make sure that the currently selected
+         layer stays selected even when no shape is found
+         (MapCanvas.FitRectToWindow): If the rect has zero with or zero
+         height do nothing (avoids zero division errors)
+-09-06  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/tree.py (SessionTreeCtrl, SessionTreeView.__init__):
+         Correct the spelling of SessionTreeCtrl. dabbrev is too damn
+         convenient :-)
+         (SessionTreeCtrl.__init__, SessionTreeCtrl.update_tree): Introduce
+         a new instvar layer_to_item to map layers to tree items
+         (SessionTreeCtrl.layer_selected): Select the appropriate tree item

+         instvar and use that reference instead of going through main.app
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.ShowSessionTree):
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnInit):
+         * Thuban/UI/main.py (main): Create the session tree view in main
+         with the new mainwindow method ShowSessionTree and not directly
+         the application's OnInit method
+         * Thuban/UI/tree.py (myTreeCtrlPanel):
+         (SessioinTreeCtrl): Rename to SessioinTreeCtrl and turn it into a
+         TreeCtrl isntead of a panel. This affects most method since we now
+         refer to self instead of self.tree

+         showing the session tree.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.LayerShowTable): Pass the

+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py: Add some doc-strings
+         (TableGrid):
+         (TableGrid.OnRangeSelect):
+         (TableGrid.OnSelectCell):
+         (TableFrame.__init__):
+         (TableFrame.row_selected):
+         Selecting rows in the grid view now updates the selected shapes
+         through the TableFrame. To achieve this we derive TableGrid from
+         Publisher and introduce the message type ROW_SELECTED which the
+         TableFrame subscribes to and which is issued by OnRangeSelect and
+         OnSelectCell
+         (DataTable.SelectRow): Removed because it's no longer needed in
+         the row/shape selection scheme

+         dialogs
+         * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (TableGrid.__init__): Don't subscribe to

+         view once for each table.
+         (MainWindow.IdentifyTool):
+         (MainWindow.__init__):
+         (MainWindow.identify_view_on_demand): Don't open the identify view
+         in IdentifyTool anymore. This will be done automatically by the
+         new method identify_view_on_demand which handles the
+         SELECTED_SHAPE message so that the identify view will be opened on
+         demand
+         * Thuban/UI/identifyview.py (IdentifyListCtrl.__init__): Remove
+         the interactor argument. The SELECTED_SHAPE message is now handled
+         by the parent.
+         (IdentifyView.__init__): Add the interactor argument so that we
+         can handle the SELECTED_SHAPE message here
+         (IdentifyView.selected_shape): New method to handle the
+         SELECTED_SHAPE messages

+         NonModalDialog class

+         unsubscribe SELECT_SHAPE
+         * Thuban/Model/session.py (Session.UnsetModified): Remove debug prints

+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.__init__): New argument
+         interactor to pass through to the MapCanvas
+         * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnInit): Use the new
+         argument to the MainWindow constructor to get rid of the ugly hack
+         that made main.app available early just so that the mapcanvas
+         could access the interactor object.
+-09-04  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.RunMessageBox): New method
+         that runs a modal message box
+         (MainWindow.OnClose): Use the new method
+         (MainWindow.RemoveLayer): Just do nothing in case no layer is
+         selected. The command should be grayed out anyway, so there's no
+         need to pop up a message box.
+         (MainWindow.AddLayer): Pop up a message box with an error message
+         if the shape file can't be opened
+         * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.__init__): Open the shapefile
+         immediately. This will cause an exception in case the file can't
+         be opened and we can display an appropriate message.
+         * MANIFEST.in: Add extensions/pyprojection/LICENSE
+         * setup.py (thuban_bdist_rpm): New class implementing a Thuban

+         installations.
+         * extensions/pyprojection/LICENSE: Copy of the license text in
+         Projection.i. Having it in a separate file makes it easier to
+         refer to license text in e.g. RPMs
+-09-03  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py: use wx-config instead of wxgtk-config because it's
+         more generic
+         * setup.py (ThubanInstall.get_outputs): Add the symlink in
+         <prefix>/bin to the outputs
+         (ThubanInstall.link_file): New method to link files. We need this
+         because the standard copy_files refuses to link non-existing
+         files.
+         (ThubanInstall.run): Remove the leading install root from the
+         script filename if an install root was specified and use the new
+         link_file method
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.AddLayer): Fit the map to
+         the window when the first layer is added to the map.
+         * setup.py (ThubanInstall.run): Honor the build root (self.root)
+         when linking thuban.py to <prefix>/bin
+-08-31  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>
+         * setup.py: In the setup call, the install parameters shouldn't
+         have trailing slashes because distutils on non-posix platforms
+         doesn't like that. The same applies to other directories like
+         "Resources/Bitmaps"
+         In the configuration section for nt, move the wxWindows directory
+         optins into the part clearly marked as editable.
+         (InstallLocal.initialize_options):
+         (InstallLocal.user_options): remove the currently unused debug
+         flag

+         works for our case of having packages and modules in one
+         distribution as well.
+         (ThubanInstall.initialize_options):
+         (ThubanInstall.finalize_options):
+         (ThubanInstall.user_options):
+         (ThubanInstall.boolean_options): Add new options, do-symlink and
+         extra files. Since these are the first ThubanInstall specific
+         options, override user_options and boolean_options
+         (ThubanInstall.run): Honor the new do-symlink and extra-files
+         options.
+         (ThubanInstall.get_outputs): Add to override the base-class's
+         version and add the extra-files to the outputs
+         (bdist_inno): New class for windows distributions with Inno Setup
+         (InnoIconItem): Helper class for bdist_inno
+         (thuban_bdist_inno): Thuban specific version of bdist_inno. Added
+         this together with the appropriate parameters, to the setup call.
+         * setup.cfg (bdist_inno): added new section for the inno setup
+         installer
+         * Thuban/UI/tree.py (myTreeCtrlPanel.__init__): New inst var
+         changing_selection to avoid recursive selection events when
+         modifying the selection in response to a selection event.
+         (myTreeCtrlPanel.normalize_selection): Set the new inst var when
+         changing the tree's selection.
+         (myTreeCtrlPanel.OnSelChanged): Only normalize the selection when
+         we're not being called indirectly from normalize_selection.
+         * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.update_command_ui): Call
+         event.Check only if the command is actuall checkable.
+         (MainWindow.__init__): Call the toolbar's Realize method to make
+         sure that the items are actually shown
