This week in uDig

This post is a summary of what the uDig community has done this week.

- Jody Garnett is currently working on the GeoTools gt-process code. This should allow uDig to make use of some great new operations such as cookie-cutter that are being brought over from the GeoServer project.

- Jody has released an uDig 1.2.2 SDK; users are invited to test.

- Frank Gasdorf has been updating the OSGeo Live DVD content to ensure the latest version of uDig is well represented.

- Andrea Antonello is preparing a training for the university of Potsdam. He will teach how to write models and use them in the uDig Spatial Toolbox. He will afterwards release them
as official docs for geotools/uDig.

- Putna Levi has drafted up the idea of adding cheat sheets to uDig. New users will benefit greatly from there introduction and it will help streamline the initial learning process.

- Mauricio Pazos has improved the CQL parser including the Relate Geooperation which allows to evaluate a pair of geometry taking in to account the intersection matrix (DE-9IM).

- We have formally switched over to Eclipse 3.7; and are looking forward to working with the new GUI designer.
