Changes from WWJ SDK v0.5 to v0.6 early access - March 6, 2009
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- New Airspace shapes and volumes, terrain conformant. See render.airspaces package and examples.Airspaces and AirspaceBuilder
- New rubber sheet images. See util.ImageUtil and examples.RubberSheetImage
- New measure tools. See util.measure package and examples.MeasureToolUsage
- New 'on-screen display' layers: ViewControlsLayer, LayerManagerLayer and StatusLayer
- New ContourLine renderable primitive. See examples.ContourLines
- New Web Service Catalog support. See applications.gio
- Data import and installation:
- Local imagery and elevation import into WWJ cache format - see data.TiledImageProducer and data.TiledElevationProducer
- Reading, writing, and discovery of file descriptors for WWJ cache format - see cache.FileStore and data.DataDescriptor
- Discovery and conversion of WWJ.Net cache format - see data.WWDotNetDataLayerSetReader and data.WWDotNetLayerSetInstaller
- New DDS compressor with support for mipmaps - see formats.dds.DDSCompressor
- Icon layer and renderer allow to use absolute elevations, apply horizon and view clipping
- Applet package updated for Sun Next Generation Java plugin support
- Conpound and local elevation models. See terrain package
- FlatWorld example updated with round/flat globe switching code
- Track markers updated - see render.markers package, layers.MarkerLayer and examples.MarkersOrder
- PlacenameLayer updated - see layers.placename package and examples.Placenames
- TerrainProfileLayer new 'follow path' mode - see examples.MeasureToolUsage
- Terrain intersection test for Line and elevation. See terrain.SectorGeometryList and render.ContourLine
- On-screen layers display location offset - see layers.Compass, WorldMap, Scalebar...
- New format support: tab, tiff and world file - see format package
- Tiled image layers alpha blending fixed and mipmap support.
- New examples.util package - browser launcher, audio and slides players, image viewer...
- Data driven navigation sensitivity settings - see awt.ViewInputAttributes.
- Redesigned OrbitViewInputBroker as ViewInputHandler - see awt.ViewInputHandler. Improved navigation near the terrain, and made it easier for applications to extend or modify the navigation behavior.
- Sharper image-based surface shapes. Experimental geometry based surface shapes.
- Experimental hybrid tessellator to better handle the poles.
- Improved WMS server
- Image transformation and reprojection utilities. See util.ImageUtil.
- New Ant build structure.
- Collision detection demo.
- New network status host available/unavailable events.
- Refactoring
- Position is now a LatLon subclass
