[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.12.5
Hello everyone! Here's one more stable 0.12-branch release of libchamplain. The list of changes is relatively small this time: * Add properties for animation mode & duration (Jonas Danielsson) * Add support for OpenWeatherMap overlays (Giovanni Campagna) * Performance improvements (Jiří Techet) * Minor fixes and improvements (Marvin Schmidt, Colin Walters, Jiří Techet) Feature-wise, the most interesting one is the Giovanni's patch to support overlay map sources which can be displayed on top of ordinary sources. OpenWeatherMap sources have been added and the weather layers can be displayed on top of the map, which is quite cool (open the launcher-gtk demo, push the + button and add the overlay layer to see how it works). Then there have been several fixes and additions to improve the visualisation in Gnome Maps. The tarball should appear at the usual place: http://download.gnome.org/sources/libchamplain/0.12/libchamplain-0.12.5.tar.xz Have fun, Jiri ___ gnome-announce-list mailing list gnome-announce-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-announce-list
[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.12.4
Hi! It took quite a lot of silence since the last release in July last year (mainly because of me being rather busy and also because nobody complained too much) but finally there's a new release of libchamplain. Despite being a minor-version-number release, actually quite a lot of code was changed. This was mainly because libchamplain has been updated to use the "modern" Clutter API and get rid of all the depreciation warnings. So libchamplain depends on Clutter 1.12 now. The main commit was something like -2500/+500 lines of code so quite a nice cleanup. Speaking of cleanups, while migrating to the new Clutter, I realized that I just keep getting lost in how ChamplainView handles coordinates and decided to make some further cleanups which hopefully resulted in much simpler and easier-to-read code in ChamplainView. As a part of the spring cleaning, I have also removed the libchamplain git repository from Gitorious. It seems nobody is really using it, I keep forgetting to push the changes there and when someone submits a patch there, I'm not notified about the change. It's always possible to re-create the repository there when needed in the future. Taking into account the amount of changed lines in this release, there might be some bugs. But since nobody complained since the announcement last week, I can expect that either there are no big bugs or that nobody is using libchamplain any more... ...which actually doesn't seem to be the case since Zeeshan Ali, who also contributed many patches into this release, started working on a new gnome mapping application: https://live.gnome.org/Maps Good luck with the app! Here's a brief list of changes made in this libchamplain release: * Add dependency on clutter 1.12 and fix all the depreciation warnings (Jiří Techet, Zeeshan Ali) * Many internal cleanups and minor improvements (Jiří Techet) * Fix gtk and libsoup depreciation warnings (Jiří Techet) * Deprecate CHAMPLAIN_MAP_SOURCE_OSM_OSMARENDER and CHAMPLAIN_MAP_SOURCE_OAM which don't exist any more and remove them from the factory (Jiří Techet) * Deprecate ChamplainCustomMarker (Jiří Techet) * Deprecate champlain_view_bin_layout_add() (Zeeshan Ali) * Fix blurry map when view resized (Jiří Techet) * Use more neutral map background color (Jiří Techet) * Add champlain_view_get_bounding_box() and champlain_bounding_box_covers() (Zeeshan Ali) * Add a possibility to set a background texture (Nirbheek Chauhan) * Add Mapquest Open Aerial map source (Zeeshan Ali) * Added the possibility to use TMS correct y-axis (Samuel Gyger) * Minor fixes and improvements (Zeeshan Ali, Evan Nemerson, Jiří Techet) As always, the tarball can be downloaded here: http://download.gnome.org/sources/libchamplain/0.12/libchamplain-0.12.4.tar.xz Enjoy.

[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.12.3
Hi everyone, here's a bugfix release of libchamplain. It mainly updates the OpenCycleMap map source URL to the new one and fixes the ChamplainPoint resizing bug. Apart from that there are also some documentation improvements and a new Python demo made by Pablo. Here's the full list of changes: * Fix OpenCycleMap source URL (Thomas Bechtold) * Fix ChmplainPoint resizing issue (Jiří Techet) * Many minor documentation improvements (Pablo Castellano) * New polygons.py Python demo * Other minor fixes and improvements (Pablo Castellano, Jiří Techet) You can get the release from here: http://download.gnome.org/sources/libchamplain/0.12/libchamplain-0.12.3.tar.xz Cheers, Jiri ___ gnome-announce-list mailing list gnome-announce-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-announce-list
[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.12.2
Hi, this is a quick release with workaround for the issue that libchamplain fails to "make distcheck" with newer vala versions: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669378 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671807 The problem is that 1. with vala 0.15 it is required to include cogl-pango-1.0 to generate the vapi files 2. vala 0.14.2 doesn't ship with cogl-pango-1.0 (but it is required) and the generation fails The workaround is to 1. include cogl-pango-1.0 during generation so it is possible to generate the vapis at least with vala 0.15 (thanks to Alexandre Rostovtsev for the patch) 2. not to regenerate vapi files during make distcheck and use the pre-generated ones so make distcheck doesn't fail on systems with vala 0.14.2. This means that the switch --enable-vala, which re-generates the vapi files, will now work only on systems with vala 0.15. But since most people don't need to generate the vapi files by themselves, they can use the pre-generated ones shipped with libchamplain and they'll have working vala bindings too.

[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.12.1
Hi, I've released libchamplain 0.12.1. You can get the code here: http://download.gnome.org/sources/libchamplain/0.12/libchamplain-0.12.1.tar.xz This is just a bugfix release so the list of features isn't too exciting (unless it fixes some bug you've been experiencing): * Fix scale drawing (Jiří Techet) * Don't call g_thread_init (Colin Walters) * Redraw path when its properties change (Jiří Techet) * Fix crashes on ChamplainView destruction (Jiří Techet) * Fix factory methods for introspection-based bindings (Jiří Techet) * Fix wrong zoom actor placement at low zoom levels (Jiří Techet) There's actually one minor feature * Add dashed lines drawing to paths (Jiří Techet) so you can specify different dash patterns and use them for path drawing. If you have a closer look, I've backported all these fixes from mainline to the 0.12 branch so they are mostly identical now. As I probably won't have much time to introduce any bigger features during this release cycle (the only big missing feature which might influence the API significantly is the map rotation), I was thinking that I would skip the release of 0.14 and make only updates to the 0.12 branch. This will simplify work for everyone depending on libchamplain and avoid the need to update their dependencies. But of course, if someone wants to contribute some huge patch, it's no problem to make the 0.14 release.

[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.11.0
Hi, libchamplain 0.11.0 has been released. There's just a single feature in this release - animated zoom in/out. This means that when you zoom in, the current map is scaled to the new zoom level in animation and the rescaled image is used until tiles for the new zoom level become available. Apart from that, there have been just several bug fixes. Thanks to everybody who has contributed patches or helped with testing! Because of limited amount of new features, the release should be more or less bug-free. Please report any problems you experience. If there are no serious bugs that would require new testing release, the next release would be 0.12 final. I could see some errors when uploading the tarball to the gnome servers (it appears live.gnome.org is down) so I hope everything will be available. At least the most important part, the tarball, looks alright: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libchamplain/0.11/libchamplain-0.11.0.tar.bz2 Cheers, Jiri ___ gnome-announce-list mailing list gnome-announce-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-announce-list
[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.10.0
Hi everyone,
libchamplain 0.10.0 is out! You can get the sources here:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/libchamplain/0.10/libchamplain-0.10.0.tar.gz
Changes since libchamplain 0.9.1:
* Vala bindings generated from gir's (Lorenzo Masini)
* Various build-related fixes (Jiří Techet, Danilo Segan)
* Performance improvements in path node and marker addition code (Jiří Techet)
Big thanks to Lorenzo for making the gir-based Vala bindings work.
It's really easy to maintain all our bindings now.
For those who haven't followed libchamplain's development, here's a
list of major changes since the libchamplain 0.8.x release series:
* new API for markers, layers, polygons (now paths)
* making scale and license independent actors
* Python and Vala bindings are based on introspection now
* port to GTK 3
* fixes, cleanups and other improvements
Many thanks to all the people who have contributed their work and time
to libchamplain. Special thanks to Robert Park for all his testing
which helped to improve introspection-based bindings and find many
bugs in the code.
Even though libchamplain uses GTK 3 now, it's pretty easy to make it
use GTK 2 instead - see the patch in the attachment. So if linux
distributions still use GTK 2 and want to use libchamplain 0.10, they
can do so by applying the patch.
In the next release I would like things to calm down so I would like
to avoid any radical API changes. Actually I'm pretty happy with the
current libchamplain architecture so hopefully no major API chnages
will be required in the future releases either. There are quite a few
feature requests in our bugzilla and many of them seem to be good
candidates for the next release. Of course, anyone who wants to
implement some feature is welcome to do so.
Cheers,
Jiri

[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.8.3
Hi, this is a very quick bugfix release of the previous release in which the polygons weren't displayed correctly. No changes apart from this. You can download the tarball here: http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/libchamplain/0.8/libchamplain-0.8.3.tar.gz One thing I'd like to point out very explicitly - if linux distributions are shipping libchamplain 0.8.x together with clutter 1.6 or later, they'll have to ship this 0.8.3 release otherwise libchamplain won't work at all (maps aren't displayed correctly with versions earlier than 0.8.2 and this release fixes the polygons bug).

[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.9.1
Hi everyone, this is the last development release of libchamplain before the final release. There's nothing terribly exciting since the last release (unless bugfixes are exciting for you). Here's the short changelog: * Fix the redrawing bug caused by more aggressive clutter clipping (Jiří Techet) * Return to tidy from mx - it's less code which has to be maintained (Jiří Techet) * Port event handling from mx to tidy (Jiří Techet) * Reduce the amount of tidy source files and move them to the champlain directory (Jiří Techet) * Custom pick implementation for markers so markers are selected only when clicked inside them (Jiří Techet) * Fixes of several memory leaks on object destruction (Jiří Techet) * Deprecated symbols removal from ChamplainGtk (Jiří Techet) * Minimal Python demo added (Jiří Techet) * Minor bugfixes, cleanups, documentation additions, alignment fixes (Jiří Techet) Vala bindings aren't updated yet and I don't plan to update them myself. If someone wishes to make the updates, I'll be more than happy to apply them. Otherwise I'll wait until Lorenzo's gir-based vala bindings are ready. The bugzilla looks quite healthy now and there are no serious bugs that should be fixed. Unless you report new bugs of course - which you should really do if you experience some problems. Unless something unexpected happens, I would like to make the final 0.10 release during the next weekend.

Hi, this is a quick bugfix release of the 0.8 branch which fixes the painting problems we were having with clutter 1.6. Since some distributions may ship libchamplain 0.8 together with clutter, it's better to have this fix also in the 0.8 branch. No changes apart from this one.

[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.9.0
Hi everyone, libchamplain 0.9.0 is finally out! We're a bit late as usual but I believe we'll be in time for the Gnome 3.0 release. In this release there have been many changes of layers, markers and polygons (now paths) which means that if your application uses one of these, it will most probably need an update. Usually the update is trivial like renaming a method call but if you run into some problem, don't hesitate to ask. Here's a brief changelog for this release: * Port to GTK3 (William Jon McCann, Jiří Techet) * Rethink layer, marker, polygon and custom widget hierarchy (Jiří Techet) * Make ChamplainView more independent of layers and polygons (Jiří Techet) * Move license and scale actors outside of ChamplainView * Add possibility to align custom widget actors to different positions of ChamplainView (Jiří Techet) * Inherit all libchamplain actors from ClutterActor instead of ClutterGroup (Jiří Techet) * Replace tidy with mx (Jiří Techet) * Make markers and paths movable (Jiří Techet) * Change ChamplainMapSourceDesc to be a class (Jiří Techet) * Speed up marker addition by using custom ClutterGroup without depth ordering (Jiří Techet) * Depend on clutter 1.2 (needed for alignment) and clutter-gtk 1.0 (needed by GTK 3 port) (Jiří Techet) * Many other fixes, cleanups, renames, improvements and new bugs (Jiří Techet) The API is more or less frozen now. The "more or less" part means that it can change if there is some problem with it but in general, there shouldn't be any dramatic changes so it should be safe to start porting your applications to the new API. The progress of the gnome applications depending on libchamplain can be tracked here: eog-plugins: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642802 emerillon: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642786 empathy: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642010 There are a few smaller bugs and one slightly more unpleasant: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=638652 I hope it gets resolved soon.

Hi everyone, I've just made a bugfix release of libchamplain 0.8. This release includes all the fixes we had in master which could be backported to the 0.8 branch. In particular: * Include MapQuest renderer for OSM (Tomaž Vajngerl) * Improve introspection annotations (Patrick Salecker, Jiří Techet) * Remove static python bindings, use introspection-based instead (William Jon McCann) * Improve Vala bindings (Tomaž Vajngerl, Andreas Brauchli) * Fix marker positioning problems by not ordering them by latitude (Jiří Techet) * Fire latitude and longitude signals independently of viewport shift (Jiří Techet, Tomaž Vajngerl) Get it here: http://download.gnome.org/sources/libchamplain/0.8/libchamplain-0.8.1.tar.gz Thanks to all the contributors!

You can get it from here: http://download.gnome.org/sources/libchamplain/0.8/libchamplain-0.8.0.tar.gz There haven't been any changes since 0.7.2 released 10 days ago so there shouldn't be any bad surprises (hopefully).

[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.7.2
Hi, I have just released libchamplain 0.7.2. There's just a small number of changes since the last release: * Added missing header file for vala bindings generation (Lorenzo Masini) * Big makefile cleanup - should fix a problem when some generated sources were distributed and libchamplain did not compile because of different settings (Jiří Techet) * Fixed documentation creation when compiled without memphis (Jiří Techet) * --strip-prefix option removed for instrospection generation to be compatible with newer gir scanners (Jiří Techet) The biggest change and the main reason why I'm making one more release before the final 0.8 release are the changes made to Makefile.am files which on the one hand should fix some problems, but on the other hand could introduce new problems (automake and autoconf are pretty tricky tools). Please test and report any problems. Jiri ___ gnome-announce-list mailing list gnome-announce-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-announce-list
[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.7.1
Hi, the second development release of libchamplain is out. Here is a brief list of changes: * Fix #623043 champlain.pc file has too much requires (Laurent Bigonville) * Layer speedup by using clutter functions for marker ordering (Russell Strong) * Use the renderer to render cached tiles (Jiří Techet) * Fixed crashes caused by improper tile loading termination (Jiří Techet) * Fixed many memory leaks (Jiří Techet) * Use memory cache in addition to file cache by default (Jiří Techet) * Use memphis_renderer_tile_has_data() as it works with libmemphis 0.2.1 (Jiří Techet) * On double click center to the clicked area (Jiří Techet) * Make ChamplainRenderer inherit from GInitiallyUnowned (Jiří Techet) * Access the elements in memory cache directly, not sequentially (Jiří Techet) * Updated documentation (Jiří Techet) * Use stable api version in soname also in development releases (Jiří Techet) * Minor fixes and cleanups (Jiří Techet) There are two changes that deserve some more words: * Even though we had an API freeze there was one change in this respect. In the previous release ChamplainRenderer inherited by mistake from GObject instead of GInitiallyUnowned. I have corrected this, which however changes the API slightly. * The library now uses the stable API version in the soname even for the development release. That means that for example the library name for 0.7.1 is libchamplain-0.8.so. I made this change after discussing it at desktop-devel-list in order to simplify application transition to the new library during the development phase. (The main purpose of the discussion was the use of libchamplain 0.8 in the next gnome release which was approved.) Apart from these changes there have been some nasty crash and memory leak fixes in this release and also the documentation has been updated. The library should be pretty stable at this point so if you experience some problems, it's a good time to report them. I would also like to ship the bindings with the final release so it would be good if the bindings maintainers could have a look at the bindings and update them for the new interfaces (I have already updated the vala bindings but someone should check if everything is alright).

[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.4.7
Hi, this is a very boring release of the 0.4 branch. The NEWS file says it all: Changes: * In the previous release some generated python binding sources had zero size which caused that the python bindings weren't working at all. This release just repacks the distributed files correctly. I hope this time this will really be *the* last release of the 0.4 branch. I plan to make a next development release of 0.7 in a week or so.

[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.7.0
Hi everyone, libchamplain 0.7.0 has been released. This is the first release of the 0.7 cycle with some new features: * Separation of map sources and renderers - map sources read data from somewhere (file, network, ...), renderers generate tiles based on the data (Jiří Techet) * Add null tile source (a dummy data source not reading any data) and error tile renderer (renderer always generating error tile). Remove error tile source (Jiří Techet) * Get rid of non-persistent file tile cache and introduce memory cache - temporary cache stored in memory only (Jiří Techet) * Whitespace cleanups - use uncrustify beautifier for this task and correct problems manually (Jiří Techet) * Minor fixes and cleanups (Jiří Techet) The tarball is available here: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libchamplain/0.7/libchamplain-0.7.0.tar.gz Those who read the libchamplain mailing list in the past will realize that the release contains just one half of the new features I wanted for 0.8 (originally I planned to introduce a new hierarchy of markers and change the way how they are notified about position changes). Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to implement all this for this release. First, because of the late release of 0.6 there was very little time left for the implementation, second, summer, the enemy of coding, arrived with all its non-coding real life temptations so I did less work than I'd wish. Instead of postponing the release again I prefer to make the release on time and follow the gnome release schedule. According to the schedule yesterday was the date of API freeze and I'd like to follow this too. So the libchamplain's API is frozen now for the 0.8 release. This means that bindings maintainers can start working on updating language bindings. (The API freeze is not completely strict - if there are some bugs that can only be fixed by updating the API, I will do that, but in such a case I'll write an explicit notification about it on this mailing list). One pleasant change for the bindings maintainers is that memphis bindings won't be necessary in order to create bindings for libchamplain. All the necessary types have been declared in libchamplain itself (ChamplainMemphisRuleAttr, ChamplainMemphisRuleType, ChamplainMemphisRule). Also the memphis-related code is now reduced to just two files - champlain-memphis-renderer.[ch]. The fact that API is frozen doesn't mean there will be no more new features in 0.8. Some of the feature suggestions in our bug tracker can be addressed without API changes. Also I'd like to do some preparations and cleanups for the following release cycle. Many of the changes I have made are quite fresh and they haven't been tested properly. However, everything seems to work and there shouldn't be any major issues with the code. One known problem is that ChamplainFileCache doesn't use the assigned renderer for rendering its tiles yet, but this is going to be fixed in the next release. Also right now the documentation of the new code is basically missing - this is something I want to address in the next release too. Finally I would like to propose libchamplain 0.8 to be used in the following gnome release so I don't have to maintain the old 0.4.x release any more. Also there are some bugs in the bug tracker (e.g. problems with empathy) that I want to get fixed before the final release.

[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.6.1
Hi everyone, libchamplain 0.6.1 has been released. This is a maintenance release containing mainly bug fixes. Here is a brief summary of the changes: * New Vala bindings (Tomaž Vajngerl) * Updated Python bindings (Victor Godoy Poluceno) * Do not distribute gir files (Yaakov Selkowitz) * Minimal libchamplain usage demos (Jiří Techet) * Minor fixes and improvements (Jiří Techet) For details refer to git log as usual.

[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.4.6
Hello everyone, libchamplain 0.4.6 has been released. This is a maintenance release so it contains mostly bugfixes, but there are also new bindings for Vala (thanks to Tomaž Vajngerl!). Here is a brief list of changes: * Vala bindings (Tomaž Vajngerl) * Demo and fixes for Vala bindings (Simon Wenner) * Fix crash when rendering polygons (Jiří Techet) * Use a better mechanism for error tile (Rob Bradford) * Various minor fixes (Jiří Techet, Koop Mast) Cheers, Jiri ___ gnome-announce-list mailing list gnome-announce-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-announce-list
[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.6
Hello everyone, libchamplain 0.6 is out. There hasn't been much exciting since 0.5.2; here's a brief list of changes: * Add dummy ChangeLog file (Łukasz Jernaś) * Fix a problem on some machines when tiles are being destroyed (Jiří Techet) * Add minimal demos (Jiří Techet) * Some other minor fixes (Jiří Techet) For more details refer to git log. This is probably the right place to point out several incompatibilities with the 0.4 branch. There have been many changes in the API so it's possible you encounter some errors while compiling your program, but these should be easy to fix. However, there are two gotchas if you are upgrading from the previous stable release mainly because your sources will compile just fine, but when running it, unexpected things happen: 1. ChamplainMapSource and ChamplainPolygon inherit from GInitiallyUnowned now and g_object_ref_sink() is called on them. The practical consequence is that you MUST NOT call g_object_unref() once you insert them to ChamplainView, otherwise your application will crash. libchamplain takes ownership of them so you don't have to care about their deallocation any more. 2. If you want to create a cached map source, call champlain_map_source_factory_create_cached_source() instead of champlain_map_source_factory_create(). The latter function will just create the bare map source without any caching. So if it seems to you the tiles don't get cached, this is probably the cause. We're late with this release but I'll do my best to follow the gnome schedule for the following release. In a few days I'll send a few ideas what I'd like to have implemented for 0.8.

[ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.5.2
Hello everyone, it has been a long time since the last 0.5.x release at the end of January. There have been many changes since then in the libchamplain development. One of them is the change of the libchamplain maintainer - the maintainership has been passed to me by Pierre-Luc. Many thanks to him for the great idea to create this library and bring it to life! I'll do my best to continue in his work. So what has changed since the last release? Here is the summary: * Different tile reference management eliminating tile leaks (Jiří Techet) * General performance improvements (Jiří Techet) * Tile download cancellation when tile not displayed any more (Jiří Techet) * Build process improvements, libmemphis dependency made optional, documentation updates (Jiří Techet) * Removal of unmaintained mono bindings, removal of perl bindings (will be distributed separately) * Updated python bindings (Victor Godoy Poluceno) * New demo using introspection written in javascript (Simon Wenner) * Many bugfixes and cleanups - for details see ChangeLog (Pierre-Luc Beaudoin, Jiří Techet, Emmanuel Rodriguez, Rob Bradford, Fridrich Štrba, Simon Wenner, Brian Cameron, Lorenzo Masini) (Sorry if I have overlooked someone's commit in the git history. Run 'git log' if you don't want to rely on my bad summarizing abilities.) Get it here: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libchamplain/0.5/libchamplain-0.5.2.tar.gz I think everyone has noticed that we are pretty much behind the gnome release schedule - this is why I'd like to release libchamplain 0.6 as soon as possible. If there are no show stoppers, this could happen the following weekend. I'm pretty happy about the stability of this release; that said, don't hesitate to make me unhappy if you encounter any bugs - better to get them reported now than after the stable release. So if you encounter problems of any kind (build issues, strange console warnings, stability issues, API functions not working correctly, bindings problems), please report them to libchamplain's bugzilla. There is currently one bug that worries me a bit: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618308 The problem is that I'm not able to reproduce it so I'm not sure if it's caused by some strange linux setup or if it is a more widespread problem. Please add a "me too" comment to the bug if you experience it as well. There are also some platforms that are not available to me (I'm talking mainly about maemo here) so it would be great if anyone running an exotic environment could test it there. Enjoy.
