uDig 1.5.0.RC1 Released

The uDig community is pleased to release uDig 1.5.0.RC1. 

Release Details

• uDig Downloads (Mac, Linux, and Windows)
• Release Notes
• Issue Tracker Change Log
• GitHub Tag

New Features

This release supports a couple new features:

• The web view down points to a GitHub page (rather than a wiki page). Thanks to Frank for this work.
  
• The style editor now supports arrows (as shown in the above map). Thanks to Emily and Refractions for this work.
  
• Packages have been changed to org.locationtech.udig allowing SDK developers to migrate at this time (see below).

Developers

Internally the package structure and extensions have changed from net.refractions.udig to org.locationtech.udig. This blog post describes how to setup a development environment and update your plugin accordingly.

Target Platform and Environment

For instructions on using the project straight from GitHub (and building from Eclipse or Maven) see the project README.
We also provide a uDig 1.5.0.RC1 SDK as a stand-alone target platform:

1. Download the SDK
2. Unzip the SDK into a udig-sdk folder.
3. Open up Windows > Preferences and navigate to the Target Platform page
4. Set the target platform to the location of your udig-sdk folder. This will take a few moments while the folder contents are scanned.
As a standalone target platform you can develop uDig with a recent version of Eclipse (uDig no longer depends on your development environment when running). The target platform also includes the JAI and ImageIO bundles which previously were installed as JRE Extensions.
Thanks to Frank for these ease-of-use improvements for uDig developers.

Dependency and Extension Point Migration

At a high-level your plugins must be updated to use the org.locationtech.udig packages and extensions. This can be accomplished with a search and replace, but we will take the time to point out strategies for updating a few specific files.

You can turn off eclipse automatic build when performing these changes to save time.

MANIFEST.MF

Required Bundles (Require-Bundle) and imported Packages (Import-Package) in MANIFEST.MF files should reflect the namespace schange as well. Its a simple search and replace within Eclipse (Search -> File...):

Click Replace... to change to new namespace:

Extension Points

Extension definitions based on uDig Extension Points have to be updated. Search for net.refractions.udig in your plugin.xml and feature.xml files and replace the string with org.locationtech.udig

Source Code Migration

With the build environment fixed up we can now move on to updating your source code.

You can turn on eclipse automatic build now, a lot of compile errors are expected after re-compilation against the new udig-sdk target-platform.

This time we can perform the same search and replace on "*.java" files. This should fix the vast majority of problems (as it updates both imports and any extension point references you happened to make use of in your Java code).
If any package import errors remain, click with right mouse on the project and hit Source and Organize Imports.

The uDig 1.5.0.RC1 is built using GeoTools 11.2. The GeoTools project provides an upgrade guide for those using a prior version of the library.

Looking Ahead

If you have any problems with the current udig-sdk or like to ask something we didn't addressed in this post feel free to contact us:

• IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
• #udig on freenode
• #geotools on freenode
• Via Twitter (@udigGIS)
• Developer mailing list at mailing list udig-dev@locationtech.org (subscribe here). 

The 2.0.0 Release expects no further API change, its only focus is the transition to Eclipse Luna (a branch is available for developers here).

uDig 1.4.0 Released

The uDig Community is pleased to announce the release of uDig 1.4.0.

This release offers some great new features including the long anticipated GeoScript editor (thanks to HydroloGIS),  a full featured graticule map decoration (thanks to Kenneth Gulbrandsoy), and a new Document view (thanks to LISAsoft).

Thanks to Galdos, lat-lon and LISAsoft for their participation in OWS9. Their extensive quality assurance work has allowed uDig to enable WMS 1.3.0 by default.

On the development front the SDK now functions as standalone target platform complete with Eclipse and GeoTools source code. Thanks to Sam Guymer for this work, and to community members Suraj Patil and Thomas Dolley for testing. We also offer our congratulations to Kenneth Gulbrandsoy for his promotion to committer status.

The release is issued under a dual EPL and BSD license and marks our initial contribution to LocationTech. No further releases are scheduled under the Refractions banner.

About uDig 1.4.0

License Transition Complete

The uDig project has changed to a dual BSD / EPL license. This license is in support of our application to LocationTech (an Eclipse Foundations industry working group). 

GeoScript Editor

This release offers some great new features including the long anticipated GeoScript editor. The use of scripting within a GIS application affords a great middle ground between developers and users. The GeoScript project is focused on taming the power of GIS for dynamic scripting languages. This strong focus on ease-of-use makes for an excellent alignment with the uDig project.

Document View

The use of feature attributes as a jumping off point for a document, web page or script action is known as a hot-link, while the concept of an attachment is well-known from the use of email. uDig provides the innovative combination of these two ideas in a single Document view.

As part of this work, dynamic feature labels can be defined (used by the Info Tool and Document view).

About uDig 1.4 Series

The 1.4 series brings several exciting new features to the table while serving as a stepping stone for the project's migration to LocationTech.

For users:

• GeoScript editor allowing scripting directly from the uDig application
• Document view for working with attachments and hot-links
• New graticule map decorator supporting metric coordinate reference systems
• WMS 1.3.0 now enabled by default

For developers:

• Provided under a dual EPL and BSD license with associated refresh of a all headers, plugin license and about.html files.
• Transition to Maven command line build is complete with both product and SDK builds
• SDK is a complete target platform (no longer requires an Eclipse Download).
• Based on GeoTools 9.0-M0

Release notes:

• uDig 1.4.0 Release Notes

Known Issues

• The mac release does not support the full range of ImageIO-EXT formats. Please contact udig-devel if you are in position to build GDAL on Mac OSX.
• The ImageIO-EXT / GDAL library requires native code for MrSID and ECW limiting support to win32 and linux32 platforms.

uDig 1.3.2 Released

The uDig Community is pleased to announce the release of the uDig 1.3.2.

This point release packs significant new functionality. Thanks to our Google Summer of Code students for taking part in this years program. Macro Foi completed his work porting the advanced edit tools into this release.

There are a large number of people to thank for the nuts and bolts of this release. Cliff Broadbent and Sam Guymer transitioning the project to the tycho build system. Andrea Antonello setup the dropins folder for easy plugin installation.

About uDig 1.2 Series

The uDig 1.2 series highlights a lot really great ideas the developer community has been working on. We have migrated to a modern version of the GeoTools library - bringing in five years of new developments in standard support, and a host of new raster and vector formats. An exciting addition is the use of the ImageIO-ext project allowing the use of raster formats supported by GDAL.

New and capabilities of uDig 1.2 include:

• ImageIO-EXT rendering enabling additional raster formats and working with images larger then memory
• On select platforms MRSID and ECW raster support
• Tiled rendering (as an option in preferences) with a new flicker free panning tool.
• Support for GeoWebCache and TileCache via WMS-C
• WFS 1.1.0 support (read-only)
• Greatly improved ArcSDE support; multithreaded and faster
• Advanced Symbology including Hatches and True Type Font support

About uDig 1.2.0

Features and capabilities of this release:

• Access to GeoTools DataStores via a generic wizard allowing users to connect to many additional data formats and access all connection parameters.
• One long standing difficulty with using large datasets is uDig wanting to know the bounds of the data (so it can efficiently search, zoom). For common spatial file formats this data is known and available; for large databases such as DB2 and PostgreSQL this can take some time to calculate. For the generic GeoTools DataStore wizard above we are experimenting with using bounds based simply on the valid area for coordinate reference system provided by the data.
• The valid area of the coordinate reference system is also used when "clipping" WFS requests resolving some long standing issues when editing WFS services that do not update their Capabilities document.
• Advanced: Control what features are requested for a layer using a Common Query Language (CQL) expression. The expression builder offers command completion with the full GeoTools function list available as you type
• Advanced: Cache support added allowing you to cache Raster layers in memory (please be working with large datasets as this is the first time uDig is allowing users to cache information in memory). Please note that raster file formats on disk are optimised and in may cases perform better than caching in memory. Caching in memory is recommended for formats such as jpeg (where the entire image must be loaded to display even a small section) and when working with data from a slow device such as the network or DVD.
• Experimental: Cache support added allowing you to cache WFS layers in memory for increased performance (please be careful when working with large datasets as this is the first time uDig is allowing users to cache data in memory)
• Enhanced Vector Editing
• Revamped printing support, standard paper sizes are supported when printing
• Import multiple layers into the catalog at once
• switch between common map scales
• Improved Drag and Drop support allowing multiple layers to be manipulated at once
• Drag and Drop treats URL as a distinct content type across browser implementations

Notes and documentation for developers:

• Service and GeoResource Interceptors Docs
• Interceptors Docs
• Review of the dependencies used by the uDig SDK with license and build advice
• We have transitioned to a modern version of GeoTools allowing for a more productive relationship with the larger community
• Support for the "JDBC-NG" rewrite of GeoTools Database access
• Uses the latest Eclipse 3.6.0 "Helios" release for an industrial strength plug-in system
• Uses the latest "Babel" project translations
