TaxiDraw-0.1.1 is now available from:

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~eazdluf/TaxiDraw-0p1p1-w32bin.zip
Windows binary [383K]

and

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~eazdluf/TaxiDraw-0p1p1-src.tar.gz
Source [85K], requires wxWindows to compile (wxGTK-dev on Linux).

***********

Summary of changes from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1:

A list of taxiways can be brought up at the side by pressing 'z'.  This
shows the taxiway ordering, taxiways at the top of the list are rendered on
top of those further down the list by both TaxiDraw and Terra/FlightGear.
Taxiways can be moved up or down the list with numpad 8/2.  You need to
save afterwards for the changes to be persistant.  The list can be scrolled
with numpad 9/3.  A 'T' number for each taxiway is displayed in the list -
this may be non-unique, and is only persistant during one session.  It
exists purely to help show what is happening when a taxiway is moved up or
down the list.

In order to allow a quick check of the rendering order, a marking mode can
be toggled using the 'm' key.  In this mode taxiways are drawn with
outlines to show the rendering order.  When the list is showing, selected
taxiways are also overdrawn.

The program local is now set to POSIX at startup to fix a bug where atof
would return an int for some locals (apparently ones that use a comma for
thousands separation).  Thanks to Ivo for finding the bug and the fix.

Background images are no longer scaled during zoom when not displayed.

The stackdump with extreme zoom out is fixed.

An image path (or filename if in same directory) can be manually added to
the calibration, and when the cal is loaded it should load the image.

X and Y of the top left corner of the image can be manually specified in
the cal if known, this overrides the lat and lon if present.  Use capital X
followed by a space and then the number, ditto for Y.

[LINUX ONLY] - USGS images can now be fetched from within the program.  To
use this, open a US airport and click background->fetch image.  Draw a box
around the image as prompted on the status bar, and the images will be
fetched, tiled and calibrated (hopefully!) as long as wget and imagemagick
(montage) are on your system.  This is very beta - it WILL overwrite
anything with the same name as the jpegs in the working directory, so if
your wedding photos are labelled S10X1345Y56893Z16.jpg etc then back them
up or don't use it.  Also overwrites ICAO.jpg eg KDFW.jpg.  YOU HAVE BEEN
WARNED!!!!  Not compiled into the windows binary due to the probable lack
of wget and montage, and since montage often fails to find the downloaded
images, seems to be some confusion about the working dir.  This feature
seems to do a perfect calibration on larger airports, but smaller airport
positions often disagree between the data and USGS.  Not much I can do
about that!  Remember to save the calibration - it doesn't do it for you.

Probably a few other bits and pieces that I can't remember!

Happy Christmas everyone,

Cheers - Dave
