OpenMap 4.3 has been released!

We've released version 4.3 of OpenMap(tm) at

        http://openmap.bbn.com

OpenMap is open source software. New for this release:

        * Changed the WebBrowser class to use the File methods for
creating unique and temporary files for browser display.

        * Added the MIFLoader improvements submitted by Scott Nevin from
Agilent, which allows the loader to handle lines.

        * Made the Location showName and showLocation variables be true
by default, so that Locations will show up as expected. The
LayerHandlers have been updated to set these to be false so the layer
settings will work as expected.

        * Updated the raster Location objects to use the horizontal
label buffer, so that the text location gets updated properly when the
entire location changes.

        * Added a progress bar for the DTEDCoverageManager, so progress
can be seen when the DTEDCoverageLayer is bulding the coverage file.

        * Updated the DayNightLayer to be able to have the overlay time
set.

        * Took out the supposed XWorkaround from windows and mac
environments. The coordinate clipping changed how the map was being
rendered at some large scales.

        * Added the OMDrawingToolLauncher, which calls the DrawingTool
with setting to create new OMGraphics. It's a Tool, so it can be
enabled by clicking on the pencil icon.

        It uses the BeanContext to find all the EditToolLoaders, which
know how to use EditableOMGraphics to manipulate OMGraphics. It also
finds all DrawingToolRequestors, which are components able to receive
OMGraphics. The OMDrawingToolLauncher lets you choose which component
will receive the finished graphic.

        * Added the DrawingToolLayer as an example of how to catch
graphics from the OMDrawingToolLauncher.

        * Added support for creating and editing polygons and polylines.

        * Added a workaround for Applets trying to access data that was
being stored in its own jar file. See the
com.bbn.openmap.io.AppletDataNugget class for more information.

        * Fixed a bug in the
com.bbn.openmap.layer.util.LayerUtils.getResourceOrFileOrURL method,
where files were not being handled properly for Windows file systems.

        * Fixed a bug in the EarthImagePlugIn that was coloring space,
in the Orthographic projection, to the color of the center pixel.

        * Fixed a memory leak in the VPF package, started by the
FeatureClassInfo object. Thanks to Tom Peel for finding this and
reporting it.

See http://openmap.bbn.com/com/bbn/openmap/ChangeLog for a list of
changes.

OpenMap is a JavaBeans-based toolkit for building applications and
applets needi
ng geographic information. Using OpenMap components, you can access
data from l
egacy applications, in-place, in a distributed setting. At its core,
OpenMap is
 a set of Swing components that understand geographic coordinates.
These compon
ents help you show map data and help you handle user input events to
manipulate
that data.
