JEQL 0.6-alpha released

[Martin Davis]

I've uploaded a new version of JEQL.  Features include:

• Added EXCEPT modifier to starred-table references in select result-list
• Added support for Date datatype (Date function class, etc)

• Print command provides a clean output format (but provides code: parameter for JEQL code format)
• imports can now override already-loaded classes
• val() built-in function to extract a scalar value from a table value
• Geometry envelope functions: minX, minY, maxX, maxY, width and height
  

There's a bunch more stuff in the works, including DB connectivity, GeoJSON support, and
charting...

Hi Martin,

Thank you for including the Polygonize function. It skips over lines
that are not noded, which is nice.

The ShapefileWriter creates a shp and dbf file but no shx file. My GIS
apps expect a SHX file when opening a shapefile. How can I instruct
the ShapefileWriter to output a shx file also?

I disabled the SHX creation since technically it`s not necessary to be present to read the file - but I guess this doesn`t work for all applications.  I should be able to reenable it easily - will do this in the next week, hopefully (I`m away from my workstation for a few days)

Apologies for any frustration this has caused...

Jeql 0.6.1 is now available for download.  The only documented change in this version is that ShapefileWriter now outputs the .SHX file as well.

Keith, can you test this and confirm that it works?

Thanks Martin, I will test the ShapefileWriter.

I ran a few tests and the SHX output is working fine. I will test more
later. Thanks again Martin.
