|
|
|
Mapnik 0.7.1 Release
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
- AGG Renderer - Enforced default gamma function on all symbolizers to ensure proper antialiasing
|
|
even when gamma is modified on the PolygonSymbolizer. (#512)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mapnik 0.7.0 Release
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
(Packaged from r1574)
|
|
|
|
- Core: Fixed linking to external libagg (r1297,r1299)
|
|
|
|
- Core: Completed full support for PPC (Big endian) architectures (r1352 -> r1357)
|
|
|
|
- Gdal Plugin: Added support for Gdal overviews, enabling fast loading of > 1GB rasters (#54)
|
|
|
|
* Use the gdaladdo utility to add overviews to existing GDAL datasets
|
|
|
|
- PostGIS: Added an optional 'geometry_table' parameter. The 'geometry_table' used by Mapnik to look up
|
|
metadata in the geometry_columns and calculate extents (when the 'geometry_field' and 'srid' parameters
|
|
are not supplied). If 'geometry_table' is not specified Mapnik will attempt to determine the name of the
|
|
table to query based on parsing the 'table' parameter, which may fail for complex queries with more than
|
|
one 'from' keyword. Using this parameter should allow for existing metadata and table indexes to be used
|
|
while opening the door to much more complicated subqueries being passed to the 'table' parameter without
|
|
failing (#260, #426).
|
|
|
|
- PostGIS Plugin: Added optional 'geometry_field' and 'srid' parameters. If specified these will allow
|
|
Mapnik to skip several queries to try to determine these values dynamically, and can be helpful to avoid
|
|
possible query failures during metadata lookup with complex subqueries as discussed in #260 and #436, but
|
|
also solvable by specifying the 'geometry_table' parameter. (r1300,#376)
|
|
|
|
- PostGIS: Added an optional 'extent_from_subquery' parameter that when true (while the 'extent' parameter is
|
|
not provided and 'estimate_extent' is false) will direct Mapnik to calculate the extent upon the exact table
|
|
or sql provided in the 'table' parameter. If a sub-select is used for the table parameter then this will,
|
|
in cases where the subquery limits results, provide a faster and more accurate layer extent. It will have
|
|
no effect if the 'table' parameter is simply an existing table. This parameter is false by default. (#456)
|
|
|
|
- PostGIS Plugin: Added 'bbox' token substitution ability in sql query string. This opens the door for various
|
|
complex queries that may aggregate geometries to be kept fast by allowing proper placement of the bbox
|
|
query to be used by indexes. (#415)
|
|
|
|
* Pass the bbox token inside a subquery like: !bbox!
|
|
|
|
* e.g. (Select ST_Union(geom) as geom from table where ST_Intersects(geometry,!bbox!)) as map
|
|
|
|
- PostGIS Plugin: Added 'scale_denominator' substitution ability in sql query string (#415/#465)
|
|
|
|
* Pass the scale_denominator token inside a subquery like: !scale_denominator!
|
|
|
|
* e.g. (Select * from table where field_value > !scale_denominator!) as map
|
|
|
|
- PostGIS Plugin: Added support for quoted table names (r1454) (#393)
|
|
|
|
- PostGIS: Add a 'persist_connection' option (default true), that when false will release
|
|
the idle psql connection after datasource goes out of scope (r1337) (#433,#434)
|
|
|
|
- PostGIS: Added support for BigInt (int8) postgres type (384)
|
|
|
|
- PostGIS Plugin: Throw and report errors if SQL execution fails (r1291) (#363, #242)
|
|
|
|
- PostGIS Plugin: Fixed problem in conversion of long numbers to strings (r1302,1303)
|
|
|
|
- PostGIS Plugin: Added missing support for BigInt(int8) postgres datatypes (r1250) (#384)
|
|
|

|
- Shape Plugin: Fixed bug in file extension stripping (#413)
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- PNG: Added support for semitransparency in png256 output (#477,#202)
|
|
|
|
- PolygonSymbolizer: Added 'gamma' attribute to allow for dilation of polygon edges - a solution
|
|
to gap artifacts or "ghost lines" between adjacent polygons and allows for slight sharpening of
|
|
the edges of non overlapping polygons. Accepts any values but 0-1 is the recommended range.
|
|
|
|
- TextSymbolizer: Large set of new attributes: 'text_convert', 'line_spacing', 'character_spacing',
|
|
'wrap_character', 'wrap_before', 'horizontal_alignment', 'justify_alignment', and 'opacity'.
|
|
|
|
* More details at changesets: r1254 and r1341
|
|
|
|
- SheildSymbolizer: Added special new attributes: 'unlock_image', 'VERTEX' placement, 'no_text' and many
|
|
attributes previously only supported in the TextSymbolizer: 'allow_overlap', 'vertical_alignment',
|
|
'horizontal_alignment', 'justify_alignment', 'wrap_width', 'wrap_character', 'wrap_before', 'text_convert',
|
|
'line_spacing', 'character_spacing', and 'opacity'.
|
|
|
|
* More details at changeset r1341
