[edgar....@web.de]

Dear OpenJUMPers,

the not superpowered but none-the-less kangtastic jump-pilot team just released OpenJUMP 1.8.0 . Find it on

Hope you're hopping comfortably with the Kangaroo under the Desktop-GIS. ..ede


Changes since 1.7.1 are:

New Features
* Add DissolvePlugIn able to dissolve according to several attributes
* MapToolTipPlugIn can now interpret jpg/gif/png images from url or
filesystem paths (both relative or absolute).
* Small improvements in the AttributeQueryPlugIn
+ add isEmpty, dimension and numHoles attributes
+ add matches operator (using regex)
+ add case insensitive option
* even more small improvements in the AttributeQueryPlugIn
namely icon, added endsWith condition, cleaned up case insensitivity
* FR #210 adds option "update source layer" for the buffer plugin
* add Proxy configuration (courtesy of Kosmo)
* added shortcuts
Alt+S - save selected datasets
Alt+Shift+S - save selected dataset as

Work in progress
* Add 3 plugins for macro recording (needs adaptation in each plugin
to work effectively).
* Make the following plugins recordable within a macro
- BufferPlugIn
- DisposeSelectedPlugIn
- RemoveSelectedPlugIn
- ViewSchemaPlugIn
- DataSourceFileLayerLoader

Improvements
* Add lineWidth option to ColorThemingPanel
* Add "display vertex" in ColorThemingPanel (vertexStyleEnabled attribute)
* Improve copy/paste style behaviour while copying from/to
ReferencedImageLayer
* AttributeTable sorting is now Locale sensitive for String attributes

framework to write normalized lower case column names (see FR #206)

* streamlined start script outputs on all 3 platforms
* beautified attribtab edit geom buttons, icons visualize (partly) empty
geometries now with grayed out icons and pink background
* attribtab keeps selection order now
* add union/merge/geomconv to attribute table popup

Thanks Ede and everybody for this new efforts. I am very interested about the new improvements. And there will be not enough time to discuss about all of them.

Right now I want to do few observations about Styling a project:

* Add lineWidth option to ColorThemingPanel
* Add "display vertex" in ColorThemingPanel (vertexStyleEnabled attribute)

* Improve LineStringSegmentStyles readability by removing symbols from
    very small features and from segments very close to each others

These ones extend OJ capability to style feature according to attributes. In particular, inthe first case, not only line width but also vertex symbols can be  modified according to table of attributes: this is an important  news for OJpers. As we didn't have something similar right now.

In the next days I will write more about these improvement, after some tests.

Thanks again for your job!

Peppe
