enjoy the new leap forward ..ede

New Features
* add printing capability to PDF, Printer in OJ CORE (SkyPrinter)
* add Calculate Distances plugin: calculate distances between two sets of geometries
* add Move Selected Layer Plugin
* add new PostGIS driver with writable capabilities
* add plugins for Linear Referencing (menu tools > generate)
* enhance image loading support
– add new readers based on Image Commons (Apache) and ImageIO
– image readers should be able to open archives (images + worldfiles)
– readers gather supported formats internally :
IOGraphicImageFactory: [jpg, bmp, wbmp, jpeg, png, gif]
JAIGraphicImageFactory: [bmp, fpx, jpg, pnm, wbmp, tif, jpeg, png, gif, tiff, xtiff]
CommonsImageFactory: [psd and others], see
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-imaging/formatsupport.html
– with GDAL read support for Windows/Linux (slow/unstable in part) [jp2, ecw, mrsid and others], see
https://github.com/geosolutions-it/imageio-ext/wiki/GDAL-framework-and-plugins#gdal-supported-formats
needs downloadable extra libraries and OJ PLUS, see
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/jump-pilot/index.php?title=Working_with_Raster#Referenced_Image_reader
* add relate (DE-9IM) operator in Simple Query plugin
* Analysis > Geometry function: add 3 functions from JTS
– MinimumBoundingCircle
– MinimumDiameter
– MinimumBoundingRectangle

Improvements

* save legend plugin : now prints the word “Project” in front of the projectname
* save legend plugin : many other enhancements
* add 2D/3D option for new Save As PostGIS Table
* renamed ‘Referenced Image [legacy]’ to ‘GeoTIFF plus (JAI)’
* move most plugins from conf java file to default-plugins.xml
* reworked plugin management to be able to use default-plugins.xml extensively
* openfile much faster when loading many layers (ex. 100 images)
* enhance clone, undo, redo to manage PK and FID in a consistent way
* add database source in LayerProperties panel if datasource is a datastore
* enhance transaction management in GeometryFunctionPlugIn
* add external PK in FeatureSchema to manage PostGIS data
* ZoomToSelectedItemsPlugIn : better scale calculation
* can read inconsistent shapefile/dbf where shape number <> record number
* reference image loader is faster
* can read dbf files > 2 Gb
* attributes with type Object can now be saved to dbf using toString()
* enhance compressed files / archive open support
– add support for xz (xz, txz, tar.xz)
– add preliminary support for 7zip (only LZMA2 & BZIP compression for now)
– reworked naming of layers opened from compressed files or archives
* ExtractLayersByGeometry: can explode GeometryCollection recursively
* AutoAssignAttribute: changes are now undoable
* a csv file can now be saved to and read from a project file
* feature order is now preserved after transactions (ex. delete)
* update default addresses in the WMS chooser
* ScaleBar is now task dependant
* measurement tool: add relative distance between vertices

Bug Fixes

* bug 355: project containing both file-based and datastore-based layers
* bug 354: OpenRecentPlugIn broken.
* fix a NPE in non editable GeometryFunctionPlugIn (regression)
* bug 352: layers loaded from files could have duplicate names
* bug 199: save raster as can now save larger images if memory is available
* bug 327: header problem in WMS requests

* bug 340 JTreeLayerName can now autoscroll when layers are moved up or down
* bug 348: in OpenFileWizard
* bug #345 : copy/paste to ReferencedImagesLayer now preserve min/max scale
* bug fixed in PostGISDSMetadata and DynamicFeatureCollection (some
data were never loaded because of the use of ST_Estimated_Extent)
* bug fixed in SpatiaQueryPlugIn (mask layer not always initialized)
* bug fixed in GeometryFunctionPlugIn (mask layer not always initialized)
* bug 295 and 326: better error handling in project persistence mechanism
* Union/Merge plugin: make it more reliable and faster

PLUS version, OTHER extensions
* Fix Road matcher to (make it compatible with OpenJUMP 1.7)
