Hi, good news everyone. Planet Express just brought a new release.
The big new feature is the complete renewal of the track filter dialog. But let me start with another highlight: The selection of online maps from within QLandkarte GT. Fabrice wrote some PHP scripts to check for a new version of QLandkarte and to query the files in the WMS map section of sf.net download area. With a bit of additional SOAP magic You can get a list of all maps provided. An you can easily install them right from this list. Have a look at File->Load Online Map. The other real change is the track filter dialog. As you all will agree it was a medium dialog. It wasn't rare and certainly wasn't well done (where is that from? ;)) And it was subject to discussion quite often. However we never came up with a better idea. A recent request to split a track by ascend somehow sparked my creativity and here it is. The dialog is in the tab widget of the track edit dialog, now. The idea is to have a stack of filter operations. You can add filter operations with the + buttons in each filter's box. That allows you to create quite flexible filter operations. The filters are grouped. So far we have: 'Points', 'Profile' and 'Split'. 'Points' is to reduce the points of a track. There is still enough space on the widget for a Douglas-Peucker filter. Thus go ahead and send a patch. 'Profile' is to tweak the elevation data of a track. 'Split' is to split the track or to add waypoints to define stages. A filter stack to achieve the sparking request would look like: Reset changes Reduce points Smooth Profile Split by ascend You can save that stack to recall it later. By that we have a really flexible and hopefully easy to understand filter system. Extensions are much easier to implement now. Even the idea with the LUA script interpreter would fit in nicely, now. We can simply add a new tab for that. Thus if anyone still favors this idea. Go ahead! For all other changes see the change log. Have fun!
