uDig 1.2.0 Released
LISAsoft is pleased to join the uDig Project Steering Committee in announcing the release of uDig 1.2.0.
This release represents a huge step forward for the project as it features the transition to the latest version of GeoTools.
New and exciting capabilities of this release include:
- ImageIO-EXT rendering enabling additional raster formats and working with images larger then memory
- On select platforms MRSID and ECW raster support
- Tiled rendering (as an option in preferences) with a new flicker free panning tool.
- Support for GeoWebCache and TileCache via WMS-C
- WFS 1.1.0 support (read-only)
- Greatly improved ArcSDE support; multithreaded and faster
- Advanced Symbology including Hatches and True Type Font support
This is the first time uDig is based on a modern supported version of GeoTools for some time. Working with the latest version of the GeoTools library allows uDig to take advantage of improvements in raster support, rendering performance and new databases such as SQL Server. Working with a supported version of GeoTools gives the project access to timely bug-fixes and support.
LISAsoft is proud to support the uDig project with a series of world wide training courses. The development environment has supported recent LISAsoft research activities with the OGC testbeds, tile server research and more. We Stay tuned for more uDig announcements from LISAsoft in the year ahead.
