New in uDig 1.2.0 (Aug 19, 2010)

  • Access to GeoTools DataStores via a generic wizard allowing users to connect to many additional data formats and access all connection parameters.
  • One long standing difficulty with using large datasets is uDig wanting to know the bounds of the data (so it can efficiently search, zoom). For common spatial file formats this data is known and available; for large databases such as DB2 and PostgreSQL this can take some time to calculate. For the generic GeoTools DataStore wizard above we are experimenting with using bounds based simply on the valid area for coordinate reference system provided by the data.
  • The valid area of the coordinate reference system is also used when "clipping" WFS requests resolving some long standing issues when editing WFS services that do not update their Capabilities document.
  • Advanced: Control what features are requested for a layer using a Common Query Language (CQL) expression. The expression builder offers command completion with the full GeoTools function list available as you type
  • Advanced: Cache support added allowing you to cache Raster layers in memory (please be working with large datasets as this is the first time uDig is allowing users to cache information in memory). Please note that raster file formats on disk are optimised and in may cases perform better than caching in memory. Caching in memory is recommended for formats such as jpeg (where the entire image must be loaded to display even a small section) and when working with data from a slow device such as the network or DVD.
  • Experimental: Cache support added allowing you to cache WFS layers in memory for increased performance (please be careful when working with large datasets as this is the first time uDig is allowing users to cache data in memory)
  • Enhanced Vector Editing
  • Revamped printing support, standard paper sizes are supported when printing
  • Import multiple layers into the catalog at once
  • switch between common map scales
  • Improved Drag and Drop support allowing multiple layers to be manipulated at once
  • Drag and Drop treats URL as a distinct content type across browser implementations

New in uDig 1.1.1 (Jan 5, 2009)

  • Mainly focuses on minor bug fixes.
  • Including a fix for a problem exporting vector data to shapefiles and numerous little fixes to the Styling dialog.

New in uDig 1.1.0 (Oct 27, 2008)

  • Table View supporting the use of Common Query Language.
  • A reshape operator that using CQL expressions to process features in an ad-hoc manner.
  • Creation of new feature types for PostGIS and shapefile.
  • Introduction of a Tasks based workflow, making use of data validation.
