Is there a "What's new in 1.2" page ready for translation?
I haven't found one today.
Our release notes contain an "About uDig 1.2 Series" the text of which could be used to start a wiki page.
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
- Tiled rendering (as an option in preferences) with a new flicker free panning tool.
- Support for GeoWebCache and TileServer via WMS-C
- WFS 1.1.0 support
- Greatly improved ArcSDE support; multithreaded and faster
- Advanced Symbology including Hatches and True Type Font support
Reading over the above list - I am still a little unhappy with the multiple pan tools (you need to choose the correct one when using the tiled renderer; thinking we may need to have the pan tool issue a command (which the mapviewer processes in the appropriate fashion?)
What features did we miss?
