Improvements
* Task Frame title shows also projection description if it is set
and matches any value available into srid.txt SRS registry file

OpenJUMP to advertise its name to PostgreSQL backend
* AutoAssignAttributePlugIn : accept boolean and long as target attributes
* AutoAssignAttributePlugIn : inverse options order (simple to more complex)
* BlendLineStringsPlugIn : improve quality, performance and make it undoable
* Deactivate ReplaceValuePlugIn (use AutoAssignAttributePlugIn instead)
* Improvement from ioan to honor IncrementalAngle constraint even on the
first segment
* Spatial Index support for SQLite/Spatialite datasources: checks if geometry
columns are indexed and builds custom SQL queries to use index according to
detected SQLite flavors
* Spatial Index support for SQLite/Spatialite datasources: quotes identifiers
when generating SQL queries
* Added radius/circumference/area display to DrawConstrainedCircleTool as
suggested by Jukka [JPP-Devel] Show area while drawing circles? Sept 21 2017
* Add postgis driver options to narrow database geometry type
* Add z-interpolation to remodeler tool
* RasterImageLayer <Sextante>: Spatial reference system srid and its location
are now stored as metadata on loading file. Updated Raster Info plugin.
* added methods for handling multiple ApplicationExitHandler in the
WorkbenchFrame. Set the old getApplicationExitHandler() and
setApplicationExitHandler() methods deprecated.
* ConnectionManager adjusted for the new ApplicationExitHandler stuff.
* always print help output when a wrong parameter/option was given
* added --help switch as users might expect it
* add appendToClassPathForInstrumentation method to PlugInClassLoader
so that it can be started from IDE using code instrumentation
* add support of image layers to "Affine Transformation (from parameters)"
plugin, only BMP, GIF, JPG, JP2, PNG and TIF are supported
* ChangeSRIDPlugin
- setting SRID tags the feature collection to modified now
- no change in setting does nothing, no change when cancelled
- ok button disabled when no change or invalid input
* Icons for layers according to geometry type in the Data Store Layer panel
* commented/disabled on-the-fly reprojection, which was never implemented
completely anyway
* JML/GML Reader/Writer add EPSG SRID support via WFS
gml:boundedBy->gml:Box tag
JML/GML Writer
