World Wind Java SDK Changelog

What's new in World Wind Java SDK 2.0.0

• Migrated World Wind's usage of the JOGL library to JOGL version 2.1.5.
• Redesigned the World Wind Java Web Start site to work with JOGL 2 and Java 7 on all platforms..
• Redesigned the World Wind Java applet examples to work with JOGL 2 and Java 7 on all platforms.
• New applets leverage the same Java Web Start resources used by applications.
• Redesigned the World Wind Java demos for simplicity, and consolidated all demo resources in a single place.
• Added a new ANT target webstart.site that creates a self-contained and deployable World Wind Web Start site.
• Removed the World Wind servers module, and its associated packages in the World Wind client:
• gov.nasa.worldwind.database, gov.nasa.worldwind.ows, gov.nasa.worldwind.wfs, gov.nasa.worldwind.wss
• Removed the need for the separate performance JAR file worldwind-performance.jar.
• Moved the performance package into gov.nasa.worldwindx.performance.
• Repaired a problem that caused the compass not to be displayed when another instance of the layer had been used in another WorldWindow.
• Added a method to the Terrain interface that identifies the input positions' altitude reference and converts the altitudes to relative-to-ground, which is what the intersection methods expect.
• Updated TiledImageLayer, RectangularTessellator and SurfaceObjectTileBuilder to adjust their level of detail when the application uses a narrow field of view. See WWJ-445.
• Updated View to use the smallest possible near clip distance for the currently available depth buffer resolution.
• See WWJ-460.
• Updated the FlatWorldEarthquakes example to use the USGS GeoJSON earthquake feed.
• Fixed WWJ-302, that caused flashing of continuously updating KML ground overlays.
• Fixed WWJ-371, where some portions of Collada shapes were not pickable.
• Fixed WWJ-425, where terrain picking fails on VMware virtual desktops.
• Fixed WWJ-433, where surface shapes crossing both the prime meridian and the anti-meridian display incorrectly.
• Fixed WWJ-452, where surface shapes containing a pole draw an incorrect outline segment.
• Fixed WWJ-443, where enabling stereo rendering on an unsupported GPU caused surface shape picking to fail without warning.
• Fixed WWJ-449, which corrects the KML parser's interpretation of an unspecified altitudeMode.
• Fixed WWJ-451, where LevelSet.getTileNumber overflows when the number of tiles is large.
• Fixed WWJ-432, BrowserBalloon content does not display on Mac with Java Web Start.
• Repaired non-scoped abstract method declaration in RigidShape class.
• Added Angle formatting for degrees and decimal minutes. Added degrees and decimal minutes option to LatLonGraticule.
• Modified shapefile loading to recognize the HGT attribute field as a height and create extruded polygons as a result.
• Modified shapefile loading to display point geometry using PointPlacemark instead of UserFacingIcon.
• Repaired KML LineString but described in forum post http://forum.worldwindcentral.com/showthread.php?41174
• Repaired bug described at http://issues.worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/jira/browse/WWJ-410
• Added option to eliminate library loader replacement when initializing GDAL.
• Added a base depth to ExtrudedPolygon to enable positioning of base vertices below the terrain.
• Consume left-click, left double-click and drag end events in ViewControlsSelectListener.
• Fixed WWJ-353, clamp bounding box angles returned from WMS capabilities documents.
• Fixed WWJ-454, WMS requests use incorrect version string.
• Fixed WWJ-441, Duplicate picked objects from IconLayer. Modified IconLayer to prevent duplicates in quadtree.
• Added IconPicking example.
• Fixed WWJ-434, KML rendering will freeze while having bad internet connection.
• Fixed WWJ-466, KML balloon text showing entity reference instead of blank field.
• Fixed WWJ-467, StatusBar altitude display below 1 km gives 0 km.
• Fixed WWJ-469, Warning from KMLRoot evictIfExpired.
• Added a batch intersection method to HighResolutionTerrain. See intersect(List positions ...
• Fixed WWJ-482, RigidShapes not regenerating geometry when detail hint changes.
• Fixed WWJ-483, GeoTIFF elevations created by ExportImageOrElevations example are incorrect.
