Change history for MapRequest ============================= * Version 1.0 (June 21st 2005) This is first stable production (non-beta) release. Thankyou to all the people who provided feedback and suggestions to help MapRequest get to 1.0! Enhancements: Added FAQ to documentation Added some new South Africa Maps 1216876 - Fix column headings for map selection screen 1216875 - Fix column headings for layer selection screen 1215370 - Should not have to include file extension when saving Bug Fixes: Fixed the datum for the Nottingham map. ------------------------------------------- * Version 1.0b3 (June 3rd 2005) This is the third beta for the 1.0 release. Enhancements: MapRequest is now distributed as MapRequestSetup.exe (in addition to the .ZIP files) to make it easier to install on Windows. Save the OziExplorer calibration file (.map) by default when saving images. Various small changes to map config files. Bug Fixes: 1196301 - WMS maps with parameters in the URL don't work 1196300 - WMS layers with no bounding box fail 1178197 - Send logging messages to a file rather than to the console 1176817 - Warning messages on console about cookies ------------------------------------------- * Version 1.0b2 (April 1st 2005) This is the second beta for the 1.0 release. Enhancements: Cope with sites that return XML as "UTF8" when they mean "UTF-8". Added various maps (Hong Kong, Arezzo Italy, Sydney Green Web, NASA OnEarth Web Map Server) Bug Fixes: 1173755 - No error is displayed when no layers are selected 1173754 - Layer list incorrect for WMS maps 1158071 - Status for WMS maps can be < 100% after errors 1158070 - WMS based maps can fail silently when configuring 1110353 - Problem changing proxy settings Fixed the ServiceName for ACT Locate. (It changed on the site.) ------------------------------------------- * Version 1.0b1 (January 27th, 2005) This is the first beta for the 1.0 release. The major change for this version is that MapRequest now uses GeoTools 2.0 to provide a coordinate system model. This allows such things as providing the lat/long of map corners to Ozi, and calculating the metres/pixel scale for maps. The way the datum/projection is defined is slightly different to the previous release. (See the documentation for details.) This release now includes a "cs" folder which defines datums and projections. (See the documentation for details.) Enhancements: 1092148 - "Request" button changes to "Stop" while a map is loading so that you can interrupt MapRequest. 1092147 - Double clicking on a map in the map selection dialog box selects the map. 1098754 - Add support for WMS map servers. The only supplied sample map that uses the WMS driver is "Test WMS - Canada Centre for Remote Sensing." This driver is _very_ beta. Limitations include lack of support for "styles", and the fact that no layers are selected by default. A busy cursor is displayed while map parameters are loaded. 1089666 - Navigation buttons. N/S/E/W panning buttons allow you to pan the current view exactly one screenful. 1108084 - Allow strftime() type characters in map addText. This allows the current year to be added to maps, rather than a hard coded value. Bug fixes: 1082611 - No lat/long for map corners for maps using a grid. This is fixed (for supported coordinate systems). 1082606 - Ozi map files do not have a valid metres/pixel. This is fixed (for supported coordinate systems). Other comments: All sample map services were updated for the coordinate system change. In addition, all sample map services (including the US maps calibrated in US Survey Feet) can now provide correctly calibrated output for OziExplorer (apart from NZ maps). ------------------------------------------- * Version 20041208b Enhancements: 1081085 - Show initial map view when map selected MapRequest now loads the initial view of the selected map when you select the map Bug fixes: 1075856 - Dragging zoom box off the screen does not scroll map 1075867 - (not quite fixed) Scrolling the map makes the zoom box disappear 1075883 - zoom box won't go backwards 1077222 - Cannot zoom out to show full map for narrow maps 1077282 - Layer names that are not in ISO-8859 display as "????" Other comments: Updated documentation for Map Service File Format Minor changes to build.xml Added configurations for Israel eMap (Hebrew and English). Thanks to igurevich38 for these .properties files. ------------------------------------------- * Version 20041123b Other comments: Initial Version on SourceForge.
