Fixed a potential deadlock when modifying the ILcdCollection that is returned by ILspInteractivePaintableLayer#getObjectsWithPaintState, while holding a write lock on that collection. To fix this, ILcdCollection (and by extension ILcdList) now have additional methods that allow specifying an ILcdFireEventMode when performing modifications. By using the ILcdFireEventMode.FIRE_LATER event mode, collection change events are fired after the write lock has been released.

We recommend scanning your codebase for any custom usages of ILspInteractivePaintableLayer#getObjectsWithPaintState and making sure that any modifications to this collection happen within a write lock, while the change events are only fired after that write lock has been released. An example code snippet on how to do this can be found in the ILspInteractivePaintableLayer#getObjectsWithPaintState method javadoc.

A new style class, TLcdMilitarySymbolStyle, has been added to the Military Symbology API. This class can be used to define the symbol style of both APP-6 and MIL-STD-2525 symbols.

The usage is equivalent to the usage of the existing, standard specific style classes (TLcdDefaultAPP6AStyle and TLcdDefaultMS2525bStyle). You can configure a symbol dependent style, by either having your domain objects implement ILcdStyledMilitarySymbol or by defining a default style on your painter providers or layers.

The following methods have been added to configure a TLcdMilitarySymbolStyle on painter providers and layers:

TLcdAPP6AGXYPainterProvider.setDefaultMilitarySymbolStyle
TLcdAPP6AGXYLabelPainterProvider.setDefaultMilitarySymbolStyle
TLspAPP6ALayerBuilder.defaultStyle
TLspAPP6ASymbolStyle.Builder.militarySymbolStyle
TLcdMS2525bGXYLabelProvider.setDefaultMilitarySymbolStyle

LuciadLightspeed and LuciadFusion now increasingly make use of Java's own file and URI handling API to improve reliability, consistency, and portability when handling data sources. This includes, but is not limited to TLcdIOUtil, TLcdInputStreamFactory, and several model decoders. Because of this, the following invalid data source paths may no longer be recognized:

The colon ":" is no longer accepted in Windows file names.
Spaces are no longer accepted in file URI's. They need to be escaped as described in the URI specification.

Make sure to correct these source names before passing them to the API.

The default behavior of a number of model decoders has been changed. We now enable support for vertical datums by default for a number of model decoders. The vertical datum support will cause the appropriate geoid height to be applied to data files of the affected formats, if the data advertises a vertical datum. In previous versions, we ignored the vertical datum advertised by data by default.

Using the geoid will result in the use of more accurate elevation values, at the cost of performance when processing the data.

The following data formats are affected by this change:

DEM: TLcdDEMModelDecoder
DMED/DTED: TLcdDMEDModelDecoder, TLcdDTEDModelDecoder, TLcdDTEDDirectoryModelDecoder
ETOPO: TLcdETOPOModelDecoder
GeoTIFF: TLcdGeoTIFFModelDecoder
LAS/LAZ: TLcdLASModelDecoder
SwissDHM: TLcdSwissDHMMatrixModelDecoder

Because the default behavior has changed for these formats, your data may be painted at a different height, which can cause misalignment with your other layers. For example, you may apply the geoid to points in a LAS file, which causes your LAS points to be painted at a different elevation. If you combine this LAS data with an inaccurate terrain layer, there may be overlap between your LAS points and the terrain layer. You should check that your data is still properly aligned with your other layers after upgrading.

The recommended way to fix such alignment issues is to make sure you use an accurate terrain layer and use the same geoid on all your layers with elevation data. You should also verify that all your elevation data advertises the correct vertical datum. Read our article on Detecting and fixing vertical datum issues for more details.

If you have different behavior then before, and you are sure that the old behavior is preferred, you can revert to the old behavior in the following ways:

Disable geoid support for a specific model decoder, by calling the method #setSupportGeoidDatums(boolean)
Disable geoid support for all aforementioned model decoders, by setting the system property com.luciad.geodesy.geoidSupport.LEGACY to true.

TLcdGXYImagePainter, TLcdRasterPainter, TLcdMultilevelRasterPainter, TLcdEarthGXYRasterPainter, TLcdGXYTiledWMSProxyPainter and TLcdWMSProxyGXYPainter now apply brightness and contrast to raster layers with the same algorithm as Lightspeed's TLspRasterStyle. This used to be different but has now been aligned. With the new behavior, the [0, 2] brightness value range covers the entire color brightness range (black to white). The contrast setting offers a modifier on top for further tweaking.

The LuciadLightspeed and LuciadFusion APIs now use the Jakarta EE 10 API and Jakarta Servlet 6.0 API, where in previous releases the Java EE 7 API and Java Servlet 3.1 API were used. There are a few breaking changes in the new Jakarta Servlet 6.0 API, the main one being a rename of the javax.servlet package to jakarta.servlet. Any LuciadLightspeed or LuciadFusion API that use classes from this package thus contain a corresponding breaking change. The affected classes are mainly the classes implementing the OGC server standards (WM(T)S, WFS, etc). Any compilation errors you encounter related to this change can typically be resolved by performing a find and replace operation.

LuciadLightspeed now ships with a component named lcd_aws. This component contains an ILcdInputStreamFactory that is capable of reading files from Amazon S3 cloud storage. Most model decoders that implement ILcdInputStreamFactoryCapable automatically pick up this factory by means of the services registry, and are now able to decode sources directly from S3. Please refer to Supported data types to find out which formats are supported exactly.

The implementation of this factory, named S3InputStreamFactory, is also available in sample code. It can be used as an example for developers aiming to add support for a different (cloud) storage technology, or simply in case a modified version of the factory is desired. For example to set the S3Client that is used, or changing the default AWS Credentials Provider.

It is now possible to enable/disable strict segmentation of tactical graphics. Disabling strict segmentation will limit the amount of times information is repeated on a symbol. Strictly speaking, the military standards defines that some symbols need to repeat all information for each segment of 2 consecutive anchor points. This is not very useful in realistic situations.

For example, if you create a "Main Supply Route" that matches an actual route in the real world. It could be constructed out of many thousands of anchor points, forming very small segments. Having to repeat the information thousands of times is not desired as labels will overlap with each other and can cause performance issues when zooming out far enough where you are able to see the whole symbol.

This strict segmentation can be enabled/disabled with the following methods:

TLcdDefaultAPP6AStyle.setStrictSegmentationEnabled(boolean)

Obstacle Type	Possible values

TLcdJPEG2000ModelDecoder was allocating large amounts of native memory. On 32 bit platforms this was sometimes exceeding the virtual memory space of the process, leading to a crash. LuciadMap now uses a pool of "connections" to the native JPEG2000 library, limiting the amount of memory used. The size of this pool can modified by setting the JPEG2000_POOL_SIZE system property (the default value is 2).

The TLcdRoundedPolyline and TLcdRoundedPolygon shapes have been added. These shapes allow you to create a rounded curve based on a set of control points. You can use these shapes to create rounded versions of ILcdPolyline and ILcdPolygon shapes. They can be visualized, created, and edited in ILcdGXYView and ILspView implementations.

The utility class TLcdShapeUtil was added to the API. This class contains utility method to created rounded lines.

TLcdShapeUtil.round(ILcdModelReference, ILcdPolyline, double): Use this method to created a TLcdRoundedPolyline.
TLcdShapeUtil.round(ILcdModelReference, ILcdPolygon, double): Use this method to created a TLcdRoundedPolygon.

Example usage of these shapes can be found in the complex strokes Lightspeed sample. This sample has been adjusted so rounded lines are used in the Cartography layer. The lines are rounded using a custom ALspStyleTargetProvider which provides rounded lines for every ILcdPolyline or ILcdPolygon in the model.

When you convert Binz data to OGC 3D Tiles in LuciadLightspeed (decoder.binz.bat sample) or LuciadFusion (using an OGC3DTILES service), the conversion process (using TLcdBinzModelDecoder followed by TLcdOGC3DTilesModelEncoder) now also calculates physically based rendering (PBR) material properties from the material information which is always present in the Binz data.

The PBR properties are automatically added to the resulting OGC 3D Tiles data set during the conversion. No action is required on your part. If you have previously converted Binz data, however, you must process it again to have the PBR material properties calculated.

Client applications, such as LuciadRIA, can use these properties to generate more realistic images of an OGC 3D Tiles data set. It can result in highlights and reflections on the rendered objects.

Using the PBR material properties in LuciadRIA is not activated by default: you have to use the pbrSettings of the meshStyle on the TileSet3DLayer.

TLcyNITFDecoderAddOn now separates vector and raster data in different sub-models of a model tree node. Because of this, old Lucy GXY workspaces that contain mixed NITF models will only display the raster data. When you open such a workspace, a warning will be logged to inform you about this change. Note that raster-only NITF layers are decoded and visualized correctly without any issues. If you have an affected workspace, please recreate the affected NITF layers to make sure all data are visualized correctly.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

LUCY-4902

TLcyShapeVisibilityAddOn and TLcyLOSAddOn now allow fine grained customization of the observer, observee and center point shapes used in the calculations. More specifically,

Added API hooks to the TLcyShapeVisibilityAddOn to:
- Adjust the ILcdPoint shape representing the location of the observer (see TLcyShapeVisibilityAddOn#createPointObserverShapeProvider)
- Adjust the shape representing the observee (see TLcyShapeVisibilityAddOn#createObserveeShapeProvider)
- Adjust the ILcdAltitudeProvider used to retrieve the elevation of the terrain (see TLcyShapeVisibilityAddOn#createTerrainAltitudeProvider)
Similar API hooks have been added to the TLcyLOSAddOn to:
- Adjust the center point for the line-of-sight calculation (see TLcyLOSAddOn#createCenterPointShapeProvider)
- Adjust the ILcdAltitudeProvider used to retrieve the elevation of the terrain (see TLcyLOSAddOn#createTerrainAltitudeProvider)

Improved the way TLcdGeoJsonModelDecoder automatically constructs a TLcdDataModel. It now detects nested properties objects and creates separate data types for them as well.

TLcd3DTilesProcessorBuilder: Added support for metadata when processing OBJ mesh files. This metadata can be used for selection. By default every single OBJ processed by the 3D fusion engine will have a unique id. On top of that, if the OBJ file contains grouping information, every single group will also get a unique id.

The unique id is stored as an integer in the batch table of the produced 3D Tiles dataset.

Next to this, the source file and group name are also stored in the batch table.

ImprovementInfrastructure Standards

Added the ability to customize what metadata ends up in a dataset processed by TLcd3DTilesProcessorBuilder.

Have a look at the ILcd3DTilesProcessorMetadataMapper, which can be implemented using the TLcd3DTilesProcessorBuilder#metadataMapper method.

The details on how to use this are described in the customize metadata guide.

TLcd3DTilesProcessorBuilder can now configure the number of vertices and the texture size for individual tiles.

We also decreased the default number of vertices and texture size for enhanced performance. Refer to the verticesPerTile and textureSize methods for more information.

On top of that, we also added an option to automatically drop geometrically complex objects in their entirety on simplified levels. You can find this option in the method TLcd3DTilesProcessorBuilder.dropSmallComplexParts().

Disabled the Leadership Indicator modifier for APP-6D Control Measure symbols. This SIDC modifier would operate on the same SIDC position as the Echelon modifier, so having them both enabled would cause unexpected behaviour.

Upgrade considerationLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

To improve the customization of the TLcyShapeVisibilityAddOn and the TLcyLOSAddOn, the following API methods have been replaced:

The getObserveeAltitudeMode method in the ILcyVisibilityCalculationPropertiesProvider.VisibilityCalculationProperties interface is replaced by the TLcyShapeVisibilityAddOn#createObserveeShapeProvider.
The getObserverAltitudeMode method in the ILcyVisibilityCalculationPropertiesProvider.VisibilityCalculationProperties interface is replaced by the TLcyShapeVisibilityAddOn#createObserveeShapeProvider.

Another side-effect is that the TLcdCoverageAltitudeMode exposed in the TLspLOSProperties of the TLcyLOSDomainObject are now replaced each time the calculation runs. If you want to adjust the TLcdCoverageAltitudeMode of the center point of the LOS calculation, you'll have to override the TLcyLOSAddOn#createCenterPointShapeProvider method.

When evaluating an OGC filter through the TLcdOGCFilterEvaluator, the ILcdPropertyRetrieverProvider will now cache and re-use the created ILcdPropertyRetriever instances which results in improved performance.

Since the introduction of LCD-11278 the ILcdPropertyRetrieverProvider is queried more often. By introducing caching, there is no performance penalty anymore.

This is achieved by decorating the property retriever provider which is passed in the constructor of the TLcdOGCFilterContext. The result is that the corresponding getter returns an instance which isn't the same as the one which is passed into the constructor.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

This implies that for data that changes dynamically, extra care needs to be taken to make sure caches are invalidated. To this end, the API ILcdCoverageOffering#getUpdateSequence and TLcdDefaultCoverageOffering#setUpdateSequence is introduced to indicate that a WCS coverage has changed. By default, the implementations of these methods (mostly) assume static data/coverages. For WCS servers that serve data that changes over time (for example data updates), these methods should be used correctly. Note that the LuciadFusion Platform already takes care of this. An alternative is to disable the caches.

ILcdEvaluatorFactory: the canBuildEvaluator method could not perform a decent check because it did not receive the same arguments as the buildEvaluator method. This could result in the creation of evaluators which would throw exceptions when used.

This has been fixed by introducing a new default canBuildEvaluator method which has the same arguments as the buildEvaluator method. The old method has been deprecated.

The result of this change is that calling TLcdOGCFilterEvaluator#buildFilter for a filter containing expressions that cannot be evaluated will now throw an IllegalArgumentException in all cases, and never return a filter with undefined behavior at runtime.

The ILcdEvaluatorFactory interface should not be implemented nor used by customers, so this change should not affect your code base.

Added an option to disable certain painting optimizations in TLcdS52GXYCatalogueLayer.

By default, these optimizations are enabled, and typically reduce the amount of elements to be painted by 30%. The cost of determining which elements to skip is offset by faster subsequent paints because of spatial locality.

In the context of a WMS server however, you have multiple threads/layers handling requests of multiple users, in different areas. In this case, each layer has to build up the visibility information separately and can re-use it a lot less in subsequent requests.

When using tiled WMS or WMTS, requests don't overlap and are typically cached on the client and/or server.

To use this option in WMS or WMTS, plug in your own ILcdGXYLayerFactory:

      @LcdService(service = ILcdWMSGXYLayerFactory.class, priority = LcdService.HIGH_PRIORITY)
      public class MyWMSLayerFactory implements ILcdWMSGXYLayerFactory {

Added support for InlandECDIS (IENC) cells that contain regular ENC data.

While this is not according to the specification, data providers often do this. For example, often IENC cells contain both "achare" objects (part of IENC) and "ACHARE" objects (part of regular ENC).

The IENC object classes and attributes now include those from ENC that were not already part of the IENC spec. Similarly, the IENC visualization rules now include the full S-52 rules as a fallback.

If you have IENC cells or catalogs/multicatalogs with only IENC cells, all this will be picked up automatically.

If you have catalogs or multicatalogs that contain cells of product type IENC as well as regular ENC, you have to manually force IENC. This is because the cells themselves contain this information, and are lazy-loaded.

Lightspeed views now support high DPI rendering. This means that fonts, icons and other map elements will be automatically resized in proportion to the DPI scale factor configured in the operating system. Due to the way high DPI support is implemented in Swing, however, applications that use a Lightspeed view now essentially have an additional coordinate system to deal with, which we refer to as "toolkit coordinates". In most scenarios this is merely an implementation detail. Applications may need to be adjusted to work correctly with DPI scaling if they

use the methods in ALspViewXYZWorldTransformation to transform between UI coordinates and geographic coordinates;
contain custom implementations of ILspController.

LuciadLightspeed now uses LWJGL as its Java binding for the OpenGL and OpenCL APIs (instead of the JogAmp libraries used by previous versions). This means that the following JAR files are no longer part of the release:

gluegen-rt-<version>.jar
gluegen-rt-<version>-natives-<platform>.jar
jocl-<version>.jar
jocl-<version>-natives-<platform>.jar
jogl-all-<version>.jar

lwjgl-<version>-natives-<platform>.jar
lwjgl-jawt-<version>.jar
lwjgl-opencl-<version>.jar
lwjgl-opengl-<version>.jar
lwjgl-opengl-<version>-natives-<platform>.jar

Users upgrading from LuciadLightspeed V2018.x or earlier to V2019.0 may need to adapt their IDE settings or build scripts to reflect these changes.

Additionally, the migration to LWJGL has also brought with it some changes to how Lightspeed views deal with NIO buffers. The most visible result of these changes is that some data which was previously stored in native memory, will now be stored on the heap. As a result, upgrading an application from an older version of LuciadLightspeed to V2019.0 or newer may result in the application using less native memory and more heap memory. This may require some adjustment of JVM parameters, especially for applications that were tuned to run within tight memory constraints.

Finally, some of the API surrounding ALcdGLBinding has been changed incompatibly:

ILcdGLBuffer et al. have been removed. All API methods that used this interface now accept only java.nio.Buffer and/or primitive arrays. Applications that used these API methods will have to be updated accordingly. Note that the new class TLcdGLNIOBufferFactory should be used to allocate buffers that are intended to be passed to OpenGL calls.
The interface ILcdGL has been streamlined and now contains only the OpenGL core and compatibility profile API (i.e. no OpenGL extensions). It has, however, been updated to cover all OpenGL versions up to and including OpenGL 4.6. Applications that contain custom OpenGL code and use certain OpenGL extensions, can access these extensions by calling LWJGL directly. This is safe and easy to do since LWJGL exposes the OpenGL API entry points as static methods.
ILcdGL has also been stripped of method overloads that take a primitive array followed by an array offset parameter. Applications that use these methods should use an NIO buffer instead, positioned to the appropriate offset.
The methods makeCurrent(), canMakeCurrent() and release(), which were previously deprecated, have now been removed from ILcdGLDrawable. To execute code that requires an active OpenGL context, use the drawable's invokeLater() or invokeAndWait() methods instead.
The previously deprecated displayChanged() method has been removed from ILcdGLEventListener. The method was never called by any implementation of ILcdGLDrawable.

A number of improvements have been implemented related to the WFS server's interoperability with 3rd party WFS client solutions:

For GML 3.1 / 3.2 responses, linear GML elements are used by default. This makes sure that ILcdPolyline and ILcdPolygon instances are respectively encoded to LineString and LinearRing elements, regardless of their interpolation. Previously, GeodesicString elements were used for a geodesic interpolation.
The sample WFS server now uses qualified feature type names by default. Additionally, these feature type names are reused as XML element names in the GML output data.

Changed the editing behaviour of the 'Rectangular Target' symbol to more closely match the symbol definition in the military standards. The symbol is now defined by a center point and the newly added "length", "width", and "attitude" text modifiers. The values in these modifiers will be changed as the visual representation of the symbol is edited. Conversely changing those values programmatically (by using

ILcdEditableMS2525bCoded#putTextModifier

and ILcdAPP6Coded#putTextModifier) will also change the symbol's visual representation. Creating such a symbol programmatically with two or more points in the


                           ILcdMS2525bShape/ILcdAPP6AShape

The ECDIS decoders and visualization now support InlandECDIS (IENC).

You can simply use TLcdS57UnifiedModelDecoder to decode an IENC CATALOG.031 or.000 cell file. The product type will be ELcdS57ProductType.IENC.

The decoder supports IENC versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4. The visualization will use the display rules from IENC 2.4.

To visualize the data in a Lightspeed view, use TLspS52LayerBuilder.

To visualize the data in a GXY view, use TLcdS52GXYLayerFactory.

You can configure your ship's beam and air draft on the S-52 display settings (see TLcdS52DisplaySettings). These settings affect the visualization of the safety of fixed bridges.

If necessary, you can also use TLcdS57ProductConfiguration and TLcdS52ProductConfiguration with product type IENC to have more fine-grained control over the decoding and/or visualization, as described in Chapter 12 of the Maritime Standards Developer's Guide.

The unstyled Lightspeed vector formats (like SHP, GML, GeoPackage, ...) now allow to define styling based on a property of the data through the Lucy UI. An example of this is adjusting the fill color of a country based on the population of that country.

The customizer panel factories for this UI are registered by the TLcyLspLayerCustomizerAddOn. The factories can also be created using the new methods on the TLcyLspStyleCustomizerPanelFactories class.

ImprovementLuciadLightspeed

TLcdExpressionFactory can now create expressions for trigonometric, vector and distance operations. A view position attribute, which represents the view coordinates of the object that is evaluated, was also added.

ImprovementLuciadLightspeed

Three parameterized styles that can be used by the TLspShapePainter (e.g. layers created with TLspShapeLayerBuilder) were added to the

com.luciadview.lightspeed.style

package:

TLspParameterizedIconStyle
TLspParameterizedLineStyle
TLspParameterizedFillStyle

These styles are configured using ILcdExpression, which can be created with the TLcdExpressionFactory. This allows to style objects based on their property values without the need to create a custom ALspStyler and submit multiple styles. Since the evaluation of the expressions of the style is done on the GPU and only one style needs to be used for property based styling, performance will improve compared with a custom ALspStyler.

The sample package samples.lightspeed.style.expressions contains a sample demonstrating how the parameterized styles can be used.

These styles can be used for dynamic and static data sets. However, for large static point data sets, it is recommended to use TLspPlotLayerBuilder.

ImprovementLuciadLightspeed

The properties in the LAS data model (see TLcdLASModelDescriptor) now disallow null values, because they cannot have absent values. Only the "ExtraBytes" property is nullable, because whether or not extra bytes are present depends on the file content, not the LAS point format.

TLspPlotStyle : The alpha value of the modulation color configured on the style is now also taken into account, previously it was ignored. The transparency of the icon is now determined by multiplying the alpha value of the modulation color and the opacity configured on the style. If in your code you use a modulation color which is transparent on your style e.g. TLspPlotStyle.newBuilder().modulationColor(new Color(255,0,0,128)).build(), then you will need to change this to TLspPlotStyle.newBuilder().modulationColor(new Color(255,0,0,255)).build() if the icon needs to remain fully opaque.

TLcdInputStreamFactory now by default requests compressed content over HTTP, using the "Accept-Encoding" header, for performance. When serving compressed data is not available on the server, it automatically falls back on raw data, unless specified differently. This can be disabled using:

The boolean system property com.luciad.io.TLcdInputStreamFactory.acceptHttpCompressedEncoding
The method TLcdInputStreamFactory#setAcceptCompressedEncoding

TLcdGXYLayer's default interact margin has been increased to 32 pixels. It ensures that a model element is still painted if its visual representation falls inside the view, but its model bounds do not. If you notice a performance impact, you can change the value back by calling layer.setInteractMargin(5).

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

The heuristic used by the Lightspeed view to determine the size of its OpenGL resource cache has been modified to result in somewhat bigger cache sizes. This reduces the risk of performance issues when loading large amounts of data in the view. This change does not affect applications that explicitly specify the cache size using TLspViewBuilder#glResourceCacheSize. Note that the cache size can also still be specified by setting the system property com.luciad.view.lightspeed.opengl.cacheSize to a value in megabytes, e.g. -Dcom.luciad.view.lightspeed.opengl.cacheSize=768.

You can now be notified of issues with cells in a catalog directly in the decode() call.

Set a handler using TlcdS63UnifiedModelDecoder.setInvalidCellExceptionHandler(). Your handler's handleCellWarnings() will be called with TLcdS63Exception during decode() to notify you of issues with cells:

Cells for which there is no permit ({@link TLcdS63Exception.ErrorCode#SSE_011 SSE_011}). These cells will not be loaded.
Cells for which the subscription is about to expire ({@link TLcdS63Exception.ErrorCode#SSE_020 SSE_020}). The cells will still be loaded.

OGC Filter: the handling for spatial operators has been improved:

Some inconsistencies between the BBOX operator and the other spatial operators have been removed.
When the TLcdOGCPropertyName used in the spatial operator to point to the geometry refers to a non-existing property, the geometry will evaluate to null instead of falling back to the domain object itself. This ensures that the spatial operators behave as descriped in the specification in section 7.8.3.4 NULL geometries.

Ensured that TLspEditingStateEvent supports multiple objects in a single event. This allows editing state listeners to be more efficient when editing a large group of objects. This incompatible change removes the TLspEditingStateEvent.getObject() method in favor of a TLspEditingStateEvent.getObjects() method, which returns a list of objects, instead of a single domain objects. If you have code that relies on TLspEditingStateEvent objects, you can easily update your code by iterating over the list of objects returned by TLspEditingStateEvent.getObjects() in a for loop, and handle the event one by one. Note that if you manually used to call ALspEditor.edit() in your code, without using a TLspEditController, you now also have to call ILspInteractivePaintableLayer.editedObjectChanged() explicitly in your own code. The responsibility of calling this method has been moved from the editor to the controller. The default TLspCreateController and TLspEditController have been updated to reflect this, but if you have your own controller (that does not extend from either controllers), then you might have to call ILspInteractivePaintableLayer.editedObjectChanged() directly in your controller.

The ArcInfo ASCII Grid format does not include metadata for specifying the coordinate reference system (CRS) of the data. This needs to be specified using an external file (eg .prj or .ref) which is handled by the ILcdModelReferenceDecoder.

The decoder no longer has a default model reference (EGM96) as fall-back when no external geo-reference is found. This makes it visible that important metadata is missing rather than showing the data at a wrong location. The behavior is consistent with other model decoders.

Users that want to get the behavior as before can do this based on the following fragment in their application code. TLcdArcInfoASCIIGridModelDecoder arcInfoASCIIGridModelDecoder = new TLcdArcInfoASCIIGridModelDecoder(); arcInfoASCIIGridModelDecoder.setDefaultModelReference( new TLcdGeodeticReference(new TLcdGeoidGeodeticDatumFactory().createGeodeticDatum(EGM96_GRID_BILINEAR)) );

Several API usability improvements were made for working with OGC filters:

TLcdOGCFilterEvaluator: this class can now evaluate spatial filters as well when the Geometry Additional Component is available on the class path. It is no longer needed to create a TLcdOGCFilterSpatialEvaluator for this. As a consequence, the constructor for TLcdOGCFilterSpatialEvaluator has been deprecated.
Introduction of ILcdOGCFeatureIDRetriever#createDefaultFeatureIDRetriever. TLcdXMLElementPropertyRetrieverProvider is deprecated in favor of this new method.
Extra constructors are added to TLcdOGCFilterContext
The static method TLcdOGCFilterEvaluator#registerDefaultFunction allows to add support for default OGC functions to all evaluators.
TLcdOGCFilterDecoder and TLcdOGCFilterEncoder now offer (static utility) methods to decode/encode from/to a String and or Input/OutputStream.

Several minor inconsistencies in the different evaluators for OGC filters have been fixed. An example of such an inconsistency is an evaluator which would return true for A == B but false for A >= B.

On a Lightspeed map, SLD files next to the source data are now picked up automatically and used to style the layers. This mechanism can be used to configure scale ranges on a layer, to apply more advanced styling, to limit the amount of data that is loaded, ... .

The Lucy table view now works for all models instead of only for ILcdIntegerIndexedModel. This allows for example to show a table view for WFS and database models. This is achieved by using the new ILcdModel#query API.

The model is queried on a background thread, avoiding that slow models (like for example a WFS model) would block the UI.
The table view has UI to define an OGC filter for a layer.
Only a limited number of rows is shown in the table view, instead of the whole model. This avoids for example loading a whole database table into memory. This limit can be configured in the configuration file.

You can use a new, lazy-loading ESRI Shapefile decoder: TLcdSHPModelDecoder2.

This decoder does lazy loading of elements, based on the client request.

This ensures a low memory footprint if only part of the data is needed at the same time:
- when visualizing a small area
- when a model query filter is used
- when doing processing on the elements one by one
It also ensures fast model creation.

We recommend using the new TLcdSHPModelDecoder2. If you do want eager-loading behavior, you can use TLcdSHPModelDecoder. It loads all records up-front, including all geometry and property data. This results in large memory footprint as well as a big decoding hit on startup, but subsequent queries are very fast.

TLcdSHPModelDecoder2 is registered in the Java service registry, while TLcdSHPModelDecoder is no longer registered. If you use the Java service loader to look up model decoders, you will automatically use the new decoder.

LCD-8655

Added support for OGC Filter 2.0.
This adds support for temporal operators. See TLcdOGCBinaryTemporalOperator for details. You cannot serialize this operator to a 1.1 OGC Filter.
Other notable changes when using Java to create filter and condition:

You can use a function (TLcdOGCFunction) as condition (ILcdOGCCondition) if it evaluates to a boolean result.
Instead of using "object ids" or "feature ids" on TLcdOGCFilter, you can now use a condition to match ID: see TLcdOGCFilterFactory.resourceIds(). Using object ids directly is deprecated, but still works.

Both changes can be used regardless of whether the condition will eventually be serialized to a 1.1 OGC Filter (for example WFS 1.x, or SLD), or a 2.0 OGC Filter (for example WFS 2.0).
Binary arithmetic operators (Add/Mul/Sub/Div) are no longer supported in the OGC Filter 2.0 standard. You can still create them and evaluate them, but you will get an error when it is serialized to OGC Filter 2.0 XML (for example WFS 2.0).

Due to the introduction of support for OGC Filter 2.0 (see LCD-8655), using the TLcdOGCFilterDecoder to convert an XML representation of a filter into a TLcdOGCFilter instance will not always result in a Java structure which matches the filter structure.

TLcdWMTSModelDecoder now returns models with has-an-image domain objects instead of just an image. So the element(s) returned by ILcdModel.elements() no longer extend from ALcdImage, but rather contain a reference to such an ALcdImage. In certain conditions, the returned TLcdWMTSModelDescriptor also implemented ILcdEarthModelDescriptor, this is no longer the case. Because of the has-an-image approach, the WMTS client can now support multidimensional data such as GRIB or NetCDF that varies over time, altitude or other dimensions (see also ILcdMultiDimensionalModel). By applying a dimensional filter (ILcdMultiDimensionalModel.applyDimensionFilter), you can now change one or more values of of a multidimensional data model, and see the underlying image change accordingly. This means the behavior of serving NetCDF and GRIB data through a WMTS is very similar to opening it locally.

Proguard's jar-merging capability is no longer supported. Proguard merges .jar files by simply adding all files contained inside multiple jar files in a single jar file, not handling duplicate file names. This creates issues with the contents of the META-INF directories, present in every jar file. Most notably, the contents of the META-INF/services directory must be preserved as of now.

To know if you are affected or not, search your configuration files for the '-outjars' Proguard option. If it specifies a directory name, you are not affected. If it specifies a file name, you are affected. You can solve it by changing the file name into a directory name, and update the remainder of your build script to work with that directory rather than a single file. This avoids using Proguard's jar-merging; it now obfuscates and copies every jar file separately into the output directory. All example build scripts were updated to do so.

Should you not make this change, existing projects will keep on working. When starting to use new 2017.0 functionality, you may experience that not all services (model decoders, layer factories etc.) are found after deploying your application.

Our product code (com.luciad.*) started to make use of TLcdServiceLoader in certain places (identical to java.util.ServiceLoader), such as the default WMS server configuration. Previously, it was only used by sample code (samples.*). This allows for many benefits, now and in future versions, to pick up optional dependencies. For example, the default WMS server may automatically pick up the MrSID data format if you installed it.

These so called 'services' are listed in files in the META-INF/services directory of various jar files. Distinct jar files use the same file names, as prescribed by ServiceLoader. When deploying your application using Proguard, as our example deployment scripts do, care must be taken to disable its jar-merging capability which does not correctly handle those services files (see also https://sourceforge.net/p/proguard/feature-requests/94/). This can be done by specifying the name of a directory instead of a file for the -outjars property. Proguard then no longer attempts to merge the jar files, but instead obfuscates them all individually and places them in the output dir. Should jar-merging still be required, we recommend using an existing technology that supports services files, as most do.

It is now possible to make ILcdGXYView implementations behave synchronously. This can be enabled or disabled by using the setAsynchronousAllowed method on the ILcdGXYView implementations.

The isAsynchronousAllowed method was added to the ILcdGXYView interface to make sure layers/painters/... can detect if asynchronous behavior is allowed. This can lead to a compile error for custom ILcdGXYView implementations.

TLspLayerStyle can be set and retrieved with the newly added methods ILspLayer#setLayerStyle(TLspLayerStyle) and ILspLayer#getLayerStyle(). For layers built by TLspShapeLayerBuilder, you can also set the layer style with ALspLayerBuilder#layerStyle(TLspLayerStyle). You can now set a TLspLayerStyle on a Lightspeed layer to

change the transparency of the entire layer
perform color conversions on the fly. For instance, you can convert an entire layer to greyscale.
adjust the brightness and the contrast of each pixel.
swap colors on the fly.

ILcdModelDecoder now supports decoding ILcdDataSource objects. More specifically, it now contains the canDecodeSource(ILcdDataSource) and decodeSource(ILcdDataSource) methods with a default implementation that adds support for the TLcdDataSource data source implementation. This means that it is not needed to implement or use ILcdDataSourceModelDecoder anymore, since you can now use ILcdModelDecoder instead.

Custom ILcdModelDecoder instances that override the methods with ILcdDataSource as argument, need to make sure they call the overridden method using super as well. Not doing so breaks the default support for TLcdDataSource.

Lucy will not be able to load MULTIVALUED LuciadFusion coverages anymore. This is because the MULTIVALUED coverage type was removed from LuciadFusion. This also means that workspaces that contain layers from a MULTIVALUED LuciadFusion coverage will not be loaded when loading the workspace. A warning will be shown to signal this.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

Support for MULTIVALUED fusion coverages has been removed. This type of coverage was only used for GRIB files, but support for MULTIVALUED GRIB files had many limitations. Note that the fusion engine now supports the fusing of GRIB files to RASTER coverages, which is better supported.

This means that fusion clients will not be able to read existing MULTIVALUED coverages anymore. This can be resolved by re-fusing multivalued assets as RASTER coverages.

In the context of this change, these API changes were made:

The ELfnDataType#MULTIVALUED field was removed.
Several (deprecated) setAssetPart and addAssetPart methods were removed from TLfnRasterAssetMetadata.Builder. You can use the addAssetPart method that doesn't take any parameters instead.
The get/setParameter methods were removed from TLfnRasterCoverageMetadata.Builder. You can use the parameter methods instead.
Fields were removed from TLfnQuery.Property:
- RASTER_ASSET_parameter_name
- RASTER_ASSET_parameter_unit
- RASTER_COVERAGE_parameter_name
- RASTER_COVERAGE_parameter_unit

TLcyNetCDFFormatAddOn and TLcyLspNetCDFFormatAddOn now also support loading and visualizing GRIB files. This improves the support for GRIB files and, among other, allows TLcyDimensionalFilterAddOn to filter GRIB data.

Because of this, the TLcyGRIBDecoderAddOn and TLcyLspGRIBFormatAddOn add-ons have been deprecated and removed from the default addons.xml and addons_gxy.xml files. This means that by default, workspaces that contain GRIB layers that were written using the old GRIB add-ons, no longer restore those GRIB layers. In that case, warning messages will be logged: WARNING: Could not decode reference[%x] because codec for uid[com.luciad.lucy.addons.decoders.TLcyGRIBDecoderAddOn.GRIBFormat.XxxCodec] was not available.

In order to restore the old GRIB add-on functionality, you can re-add these add-ons in the addons.xml and addons_gxy.xml files, and remove the GRIB file extensions (*.grib, *.grb, *.grib2, *.grb2, *.dat) from the TLcyNetCDFFormatAddOn.cfg file.

The caching behavior for ILcdWFSFeatureType on the WFS server has been modified. Previously, caches used the ILcdWFSFeatureType instance itself as key for a cache. This implies that caches didn't work as expected when using different WFS feature type instances that represent the same data.

This instance-based caching mechanism has been replaced by a caching mechanism that uses the following properties as cache key:

ILcdWFSFeatureType#getQName: uniquely identifies the WFS feature type.
ILcdWFSFeatureType#getUpdateSequence: identifies the 'version' of the WFS feature type. I.e. if a property of the feature type changes, its update sequence should change as well.
ILcdOGCModelProvider#getUpdateSequence: identifies the 'version' of the underlying data. I.e. if the data changes, this update sequence should change as well.

Upgrade considerationOGC Server

The WMS server has added caches on two new levels:

The command dispatchers now use a mechanism of view pooling. This changes the call order of methods such as TLcdOGCWMSCommandDispatcher.clearGXYView. If needed, the pool size (ALcdWMSCommandDispatcher.setGXYViewPoolSize) can be set to 0 obtain the old behavior.
It now uses a non-persistent tile cache for tiled (Tiled WMS) GetMap requests. This cache makes sure that subsequent tile requests are handled much faster, improving the performance and scalability of the WMS server when using tiled requests. See ALcdOGCWMSCommandDispatcherFactory for more information (also on how to disable tile caching for example).

This implies that for data that changes dynamically, extra care needs to be taken to make sure caches are invalidated. To this end, the following API was introduced:

ALcdWMSLayer#setUpdateSequence: Used to indicate that a WMS layer has changed. This includes all dependencies such as styles, layer factory implementation, etc...
ILcdModelProvider#getModelUpdateSequence: Used to indicate that the underlying data has changed. This can mean that the model has been changed in-memory, or that the underlying data (file/database/...) has been changed.

By default, the implementations of these methods (mostly) assume static data/layers. For WMS servers that serve data that changes over time (for example data updates), these methods should be used correctly. Note that the LuciadFusion Platform already takes care of this. An alternative is to disable the caches.

The Java Servlet dependency has been upgraded from version 3.0 to 3.1. Consequently, an application server or servlet container with support for Java Servlet 3.1 or higher is now required for deployment of the server - for instance, Tomcat 8 or higher. The impact of this is expected to be low since Java Servlet 3.1 is widely adopted by application server and servlet container products.

All WCS request handler implementations are no longer part of the public API:

TLcdWCSGetCapabilitiesRequestHandler
TLcdWCSDescribeCoverageRequestHandler
TLcdWCSGetCoverageRequestHandler

Any unlikely usages of these concrete classes can be replaced as follows:

Decoration: in case you were wrapping the request handlers, you can generically wrap them instead, they offered nothing in addition to the ILcdRequestHandler interface.
setCoverageOfferingList and setServiceMetaData calls can be replaced by creating/wrapping the ILcdWCSCapabilitiesProvider in the WCS command dispatcher factory. This is a much more powerful, easier and safer approach to achieve similar results. See also the other release note about ILcdWCSCapabilitiesProvider for more information.

Upgrade considerationOGC Server

The ILcdWCSCapabilitiesProvider interface was added. This interface describes the capabilities of a WCS service. Advantages over ILcdCoverageOfferingList are that:

it is easier now to update the coverage offering while the service is running.
it allows to lazily load models to improve the scalability of the server.
it allows to do per-request handling of coverages. This for example allows to filter out coverages for specific users or groups.
it separates the configuration/metadata from the actual use of models.

The models should be accessed through the model provider. To this end, the method createModelProvider was added to the ALcdOGCWCSCommandDispatcherFactory. The default implementation TLcdOGCModelProvider maintains a cache for all decoded models.

The ALcdOGCWCSCommandDispatcherFactory allows you to plug in a ILcdWCSCapabilitiesProvider by overriding the createWCSCapabilitiesProvider method.

The methods createServiceMetaData and createCoverageOfferingList of ALcdOGCWCSCommandDispatcherFactory remain to exist but they will be no longer be abstract. Overwriting the new method to create the capabilities provider createWCSCapabilitiesProvider will be the preferred way of working instead of using the two previously mentioned methods.

In order to make sure this new interface is used in the WCS server, the following change was made:

TLcdWCSCommandDispatcherContext now contains the methods getCapabilitiesProvider() and getModelProvider() instead of the getCoverageOfferingList() and getServiceMetaData() methods. Usages of these methods can be replaced by the corresponding functionality on the ILcdWCSCapabilitiesProvider.

The TLcdDataModel instances passed to TLcdWFSTransactionRequestHandler can now be configured in the WFS command dispatcher factory. See ALcdOGCWFSCommandDispatcherFactory#createTransactionContentDataModels(). By default, this method, amongst others, returns the AIXM 5.1 data model (if available).

The ILcdWFSCapabilitiesProvider interface was added. This interface describes the capabilities of a WFS service. Advantages over ILcdWFSFeatureTypeList are that:

it allows adding/removing data without restarting the server
it allows to lazily load models to improve the scalability of the server
it allows to do per-request handling of feature type. This for example allows to filter out feature types for specific users or groups.

The ALcdOGCWFSCommandDispatcherFactory allows you to plug in a ILcdWFSCapabilitiesProvider by overriding the createWFSCapabilitiesProvider method.

In order to make sure this new interface is used in the WFS server, the following changes were made:

TLcdWFSCommandDispatcherContext now contains a getCapabilitiesProvider() method instead of the getFeatureTypeList(), getServiceProvider() and getServiceMetaData() methods. Usages of these methods can be replaced by the corresponding functionality on the ILcdWFSCapabilitiesProvider.
TLcdWFSRequestContext now contains a getCapabilitiesProvider() method instead of the getAvailableFeatureTypes method. Usages of this method can be replaced by a call to ILcdWFSCapabilitiesProvider#getFeatureTypes. It will also be necessary to handle the TLcdWFSServiceException that is thrown by this method (during a request, this exception should not be caught).

The interfaces ILcdKVPRequest and ILcdXMLRequest have been merged within their common super-interface ILcdRequest. Consequently, these interfaces have been removed. This change makes the request interface more in line with the well-known Servlet API, and makes it easier to use. It also allows to deal with other content types in the future, and resolves an API dependency on JDom XML parsing. In addition, extra methods are exposed on ILcdRequest to have access to more information such as the attributes and the user principal.

As a consequence the interface ILcdRequestHandler and the abstract class ALcdOGCCommandDispatcher (and their implementations) have been updated accordingly. They now have a single method

void handleRequest(ILcdRequest aRequest, ILcdResponse aResponse) throws TLcdOGCServiceException

which is used for all requests. This further simplifies the request handling, allowing implementations to decide if they want to differentiate on the content type of the request or not.

Code that used to differentiate based on the content type of the request (e.g. instanceof ILcdKVPRequest or ILcdRequestHandler.handleRequest(ILcdKVPRequest ...)) needs to be adapted, the compiler will flag these places. Typical OGC service customizations had no need to do this. The type of request can now be determined using the content type of the request, utility methods TLcdServletUtil#isKVPRequest and TLcdServletUtil#isXMLRequest are available.

Upgrade considerationOGC Server

ILcdInitializationConfig now exposes an ILcdServletContext object. This servlet context object contains the configuration for a group of servlets, while ILcdInitializationConfig contains the configuration for a single servlet.

The PNG encoder implementation TLcdGXYViewPNGEncoder now uses the ObjectPlanet PNG encoder, which is part of an additional 3rd party library. The ObjectPlanet PNG encoder library is a lot faster than the previously used JAI based PNG encoding.

The status bar in Lucy can now show progress for multiple tasks which are running in parallel. This new functionality has also been integrated in the sample front-ends (like the map centric version of Lucy).

If you are using a custom front-end and you want to add the same behavior, you can use the samples.lucy.gui.status.ShowProgressAction. If you have copied (and modified) one of our sample front-ends and you want to apply the same changes, you can search for the usages of that class. That will reveal all affected sample files.

Creating a Lightspeed map (or a 3D GL map) will now only open the application pane when the map is ready to be displayed. Status events are used to notify the user that the map is being created, just like what is done for all other background processes. Previous versions of Lucy created the application pane immediately and showed a loading icon until the map was ready.

ImprovementLuciadLightspeed

ALspGLResource now has a default implementation for the destroy(ILcdGLDrawable) method. When extensions of this class call super.destroy, error checking is added to make sure no destroyed GL resources are used during painting. If they are, an exception is thrown. This avoids possible VM crashes.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

TLcyWMSClientAddOn now makes it possible to enable GetFeatureInfo requests for WMS layers. This is possible by:

adjusting queryable property in the add-on's config file.
using the check box in the layer customizer panel.

ImprovementLuciadLightspeed

It is now possible to enable GetFeatureInfo requests for a WMS layer at the client side, even though the capabilities advertise that GetFeatureInfo requests are possible. See

TLspFusionVectorLayerBuilder will now use GeoSym styling for both bodies and labels when visualizing a VPF coverage. Previously, the GeoSym styling was only used for the body.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

The list of used connections and files is now shared between all the UI elements. For example connecting to a WMS server using the "File | Connect to" action will now add that WMS server URL to the list of URLs in the "Map | Data | WMS" UI.

Each place where those connections and files are displayed now contains an action to manage the list of stored connections.

As a result, the actions to clear the list of recently opened workspaces and recently opened files have been replaced by an action to manage the stored connections. In case you use a custom config file for the TLcyRecentFilesAddOn or the TLcyWorkspaceAddon to insert the actions in a different location, note that the following changes have been made to the ids. You will have to apply the same changes to your custom config files.

TLcyRecentFilesAddOn: the action with id TLcyRecentFilesAddOn.clearRecentFilesAction has been replaced by an action with id TLcyRecentFilesAddOn.manageRecentFilesAction. The group of the action has also been replaced from ClearFilesGroup to ManageFilesGroup.
TLcyWorkspaceAddon: the action with id TLcyWorkspaceAddon.clearRecentWorkspacesAction has been replaced by an action with id TLcyWorkspaceAddon.manageRecentWorkspacesAction. The group of the action has also been replaced from ClearGroup to ManageGroup.

ILcySimulatorModelFactory and its public implementations have been deprecated in favor of ILcdMultiDimensionalModel.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

Several improvements have been made to the API which make it easier to integrate your own (editable) data format to Lucy. All this new API is used in the new Lucy Fundamentals sample.

The default layer properties panel for GXY layers which is used when the data format itself does not specify a layer properties panel can now handle asynchronous layers as well.
ALcyDefaultLayerSelectionTransferHandler has been added to the API, facilitating the implementation of a ALcyLayerSelectionTransferHandler instance.
ALcyFileFormat.createModelEncoderFileTypeDescriptors: in case your format creates exactly one model encoder and decoder, the method will now return the file type descriptor configured in the configuration file.
ALcyLspCreateControllerModel.getPaintRepresentation: there is now a default implementation for this method available.

The Lucy Best Practice guide has been replaced by a new guide: the Lucy Fundamentals guide. This guide is an introduction to the Lucy application framework and introduces a number of key Lucy concepts using the following 3 new samples:

The fundamentals sample (package samples.lucy.fundamentals) illustrates how to add static, editable and real time data formats to a Lightspeed view in Lucy.
The package samples.lucy.applicationpane shows how you can add extra UI to Lucy.
The package samples.lucy.gxy.waypoints illustrates how you can add an editable format to a GXY view in Lucy.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

TLcyVPFFormatAddOn and TLcyLspVPFFormatAddOn have been added to support decoding and visualizing VPF data. These add-ons depend on the LuciadLightspeed VPF optional package and are only compatible with Lucy using Lightspeed views.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

TLcyLspWMSClientAddOn: the layer properties panel now allows to switched between tiled retrieval of the data, or requesting a single image. Typical use-cases of requesting a single image from the WMS server are when working with vector data or when the WMS server adds a watermark to the images it serves.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

TLcyStatusMessageBar: the status messages are now automatically removed from the UI after some time has passed.

The message bar now also supports multiple tasks running in parallel (see LUCY-4460 release note as well). When multiple tasks are running in parallel, the message bar will indicate this instead of only showing the last received message.

TLcyErrorLogAddOn has been introduced. This is the official version of the ErrorLogAddOn, which was sample code in the previous releases. The sample code is no longer available.

TLcyLspWMSClientAddOn: the layer properties panel now allows to choose between tiled and single-image requests. Requesting a single image for the whole view typically provides better visual quality when the underlying data is vector data.

TLcyGeoJsonAddOn: the UI to adjust the styling of the GXY layers has been simplified, and placed on one tab. The UI is now in sync with the UI of the other vector formats like e.g. MSSQL, WFS, PostGIS, ... .

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

LUCY-4465

The MSSQL, OracleLocator and Spatialite vector formats now allow to alter the styling through the layer properties panel for GXY layers. This was already the case for their Lightspeed counterparts.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

TLcyWCSClientAddOn and TLcyWFSClientAddOn received various usability improvements:

The styling of the layer can now be adjusted through the layer properties panel.
The model bounds options (use view bounds, load all data or use area of interest) now work more intuitively. When choosing view bounds or area of interest (AOI) bounds, the model bounds follow the current view or AOI bounds automatically. For example, when using view bounds and panning around, new data will be loaded each time you pan.
In case of WCS, the UI to connect with a data source has been simplified: the UI to configure the tile set has been removed. An ideal configuration is now calculated automatically.

To improve the event handling of TLcdWFSProxyModel, three existing methods have been reintroduced with an additional argument to specify an event type (ILcdFireEventMode):

setFilter(TLcdOGCFilter, int)
setCachingModel(int, int)
invalidate(int)

This enables users to explicitly trigger an event while invoking these methods, so that any listeners can be notified of changes to the model. A typical use case is to trigger a repaint when calling one of these methods.

Model references that contain metadata (ILcdExtendedModelReference) are now only considered equal if they have the same axis ordering. This means for example that from now on "urn:ogc:def:crs:OGC:1.3:CRS84" (which is a lon-lat reference), and "urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4326" (which is a lat-lon reference) are now considered different. The references in this example can be parsed using TLcdOGCModelReferenceParser.

The vertex array renderer accessible using ILspView.getViewServices().getVertexArrayRenderer() no longer uses the standard gl_Color attribute. If you have written a custom painter that uses this vertex array renderer together with custom shader programs, you need to update your vertex programs to no longer use gl_Color, but use following construct:

      //declare custom attribute and uniforms
      attribute vec4 aLspColor;
      uniform vec4 uLspColor;
      uniform bool uUseAttribute;

      // ...

      void main() {
      // ...
      vec4 colorToUse = uUseAttribute ? aLspColor : uLspColor;
      // ...
      }

Any calls to ILcdGL.glColor4f (or equivalent) should be replaced with setting the uLspColor uniform on the shader. For instance:

      int[] currentProgramRet = new int[1];
      gl.glGetIntegerv(ILcdGL.GL_CURRENT_PROGRAM, currentProgramRet);
      int currentProgram = currentProgramRet[0];
      if (currentProgram > 0) {
      int uLspColor = gl.glGetUniformLocation(currentProgram, "uLspColor");
      if (uLspColor > 0) {

It is now possible to pass query context parameters to the ALcdWMSProxy#createImageInputStream and ALcdWMSProxy#createFeatureInfoInputStream method directly. See TLcdWMSGetMapContext and TLcdWMSGetFeatureInfoContext. For GetFeatureInfo requests, this allows to specify which feature info format to use, and which layers should be queried, without the need to modify the ALcdWMSProxy object. This provides a better way to do getFeatureInfo request calls in a thread-safe manner.

The ALcdWMSProxy#createImageInputStream and ALcdWMSProxy#createFeatureInfoInputStream method are abstract, which means that custom implementations of this class will show a compile error. For wrappers, this can easily be resolved by delegating to the wrapped ALcdWMSProxy. For custom implementations, these new methods will need to be implemented. ALcdWMSProxy#createImageInputStream should pose no problems since no extra parameters were introduced. The implementation of the new ALcdWMSProxy#createFeatureInfoInputStream method will need to take the new arguments (i.e. the contents TLcdWMSGetFeatureInfoParameters) into account.

The JIDE third party library has been upgraded from version 2.10.6 to version 3.6.13, as the old version of the library was not compatible with the OS X operating system.

The behavior of the JIDE library changed slightly between those two versions: the calculation of the initial size of the dockable frames can no longer handle the sequence of first creating the dockable frame and adding it to the docking manager, and afterwards populating the dockable frame.

To restore the old behavior, the DockableFrameAppPaneFactory and DockableFrameAppPane sample classes have been modified. The dockable frame will now only be registered to the docking manager once it contains content instead of immediately. More details on this can be found in the class javadoc of the DockableFrameAppPane sample class.

Normally this change should only affect customers which are using their own JIDE-based front-end and who started from our sample classes. We recommend to those customers to update their copies of those sample classes to the latest version.

LUCY-4430

When the selection synchronization between the table view and the layer is active, the table will now only alter the selection in the view when the user modified the selection in the table (by clicking, with the arrow buttons or by using the table view API). When the table view alters its own selection due to a model change in the table view model, the table view will not alter the selection on the map.

As a result of this enhancement:

Opening a table view will no longer adjust the selection on the map.
Changing a model for which the table view is open will no longer clear the selection of the other layers in the view.

In case you use a local copy of the table view sample code, the affected sample classes are the EditableTable and TFitCenterSelectionActiveSettableSupport classes.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

LUCY-4432

Table view: the table view now checks whether all model changes happen on the EDT, and throws a clear exception when this is not the case (seeLuciadModelWrapper.assertOnEDT).
This is not a new limitation. In prior versions where this check was not done making changes on a background thread would result in other exceptions like for example an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. The benefit of this check is that the error message clearly describes what the problem is, and how to fix it.

The product documentation has been restyled.

StartHere.html was removed. The documentation home page is now at docs/index.html.
A new launcher application was added: start.jar. Samples can be started from within the launcher or the product documentation. For an optimal experience, it is recommended to keep the launcher running while browsing the documentation. You can run start.jar directly by double-clicking or executing java -jar start.jar from a console. More information about the command-line interface is available by running java -jar start.jar --help.
Individual shell scripts to launch samples have been removed; all samples can be started via the launcher.

The multidimensional API now includes an interface ILcdMultiDimensionalModel for filtering dimensional data. It is typically implemented by dimensional models such as NetCDF, LuciadFusion raster and NVG models. Even when models implement the interface, implementations may still indicate that particular instances do not support dimensional filtering by returning the empty filter TLcdDimensionFilter.EMPTY_FILTER upon ILcdMultiDimensionalModel.getDimensionFilter().

The new multidimensional API replaces some legacy, format-specific APIs which have been deprecated. Examples of such APIs are get/setDate on ASTERIX and NVG models. A notable difference with these legacy APIs is that the multidimensional models must no longer do any snapping of elements to filters. In case no elements pass a filter, the result must be empty. Snapping can now be applied to any model, using TLcdDimensionFilter#createSnappingFilter.

The following enhancements were also done in this context:

TLcdDimensionInterval.Relation and relationTo have been removed and replaced with TLcdDimensionInterval.overlaps.
TLcdDimensionInterval now documents the use of null as min or max to indicate that it is unbounded at one or both ends. The methods TLcdDimensionInterval.union, overlaps and compareTo know how to deal with unbounded intervals.

TLcyXMLAddOnLoader: when overwriting the configuration file of an add-on, the order as it was defined in the original addons.xml file will be respected.

For example, the TLcyAIXM5AddOn and TLcyLspAIXM5FormatAddOn both use "data_producer" as priority. However, the TLcyLspAIXM5FormatAddOn entry is located below the TLcyAIXM5AddOn entry because the TLcyLspAIXM5FormatAddOn requires that the TLcyAIXM5AddOn is plugged in first.

If you want to adjust the config file of the TLcyAIXM5AddOn, you would include the original addons.xml file using the <include> tag, and copy the entry of the TLcyAIXM5AddOn add-on with adjusted configuration file. In previous versions, this would cause the TLcyAIXM5AddOn to be loaded after the TLcyLspAIXM5FormatAddOn unless you altered the priority of your entry of the TLcyAIXM5AddOn.

This enhancement ensures that the above scenario works without having to alter priorities.

All map components (GXY, GL and Lightspeed) now have two tool bars. The regular tool bar with ID "toolBar", and a new tool bar located at the right side of the regular tool bar. The ID for this new tool bar is "rightToolBar".

This new tool bar can be used for actions and active settables which should visually be right-aligned in the tool bar of the map. For example the "switch to full screen" active settable is added to this new tool bar.

The samples.lucy.gxy.custommapui.MapComponentFactory class has been adjusted to use this new functionality. Previously it used Swing code to align the scale component at the right side. Now it inserts the scale component in the right toolbar instead.

TLcyDrawingAddOn / TLcyLspDrawingAddOn: new actions have been introduced, which replace the components to alter the style (line dash, arrows, line size, icon style). The benefit of using actions compared to components is that the actions can be configured into any action bar.

As a result, the constants representing the ID of those components in ALcyDrawingToolBarFactory have been deprecated, and new constants have been added for the new actions.
In the TLcyDrawing_AddOn_ToolBarFactory.cfg, the insertion of the components have been disabled, and new config settings have been added for the newly introduced actions.

Reverting to the old situation can be achieved by overriding the values of the following settings in the TLcyDrawingAddOn_ToolBarFactory.cfg configuration file:

      TLcyDrawingAddOn.fillColorMenu.drawingToolBar.insert = true

TLcyDrawingAddOn / TLcyLspDrawingAddOn: it is now possible to configure the orientation of the format bar (horizontal or vertical). See the TLcyDrawingAddOn.toolBar.orientation property in TLcyDrawingAddOn_ToolBarFactory.cfg .

In order to support this property, the ALcyDrawingToolBarFactory#createEmptyToolBar() method got deprecated in favor of the new ALcyDrawingToolBarFactory#createEmptyToolBar( ALcyProperties ) method.

In case you overrode the createEmptyToolBar() method to alter the orientation of the tool bar, this customization will be overridden. The orientation is now set in the createEmptyToolBar( ALcyProperties ) method based on the contents of the configuration file. If you want to alter the orientation, you have to adjust the configuration file or override the createEmptyToolBar( ALcyProperties ) method instead.

It is now possible to decode one or more specific NetCDF variables out of a source file using a file:// URI with query parameters. This can be used to reduce load time when you only need a specific subset of variables out of a NetCDF source file that has many variables.

LuciadFusion is extended with support for the ECRG raster format.

ImprovementTiling Engine

LF-427

LuciadFusion now automatically detects the levels to produce from source data in all cases. This replaces the user-specified setting "levels to produce" or "produce all levels" on the coverage metadata, which is ignored in all cases. This benefits multileveled source data in particular, which now automatically detects the multiple levels in the source data and produces the tiles at the corresponding levels of the coverage's tile pyramid accordingly. This affects formats such as ECRG, CADRG, USRP and NITF.

ImprovementTiling Engine

LF-874

Now each asset of a coverage can have its own input SLD file instead of one SLD file per coverage as before.

ImprovementTiling Engine

LuciadFusion is extended with a new asset and coverage type RASTER, which allows preservation of all the source data's multi-dimensional and multi-band information. This can be used to fuse NetCDF data whilst preserving the multi-dimensional nature of the source data. This allows clients to treat fused NetCDF data as if it were regular NetCDF data, using the imaging API. Such fusion models only support the imaging API, they no longer support the raster (tile set) API. The new RASTER data type thus replaces the legacy data types IMAGE, ELEVATION and MULTIVALUED.

The tile format for RASTER coverages is "image/tiff". Every possible combination of possible values for every dimension will be stored as a separate page of a multi-page TIFF file.

The RASTER data type can also be used to preserve the multi-band nature of source data.

'Preservation of multi-dimensional and multi-band nature' does not imply 'preservation of source resolution without any resampling'. Even when preserving multi-dimensional and multi-band nature, fusion may yet resample the source data using bilinear interpolation and warping to fit the source raster into the raster defined by the coverage's bounds, layout and tile resolution.

Fusing coverages as RASTER is thus a lot more powerful than fusing coverages as IMAGE, ELEVATION or MULTIVALUED. There could however be reasons to not use RASTER:

When you want to offer the coverage as WMTS, you need to use IMAGE. RASTER coverages do not support WMTS.
Preserving the multi-dimensional samples is overhead if you don't need them. When you're only interested in a single 'default' combination of dimensional values, and you want to save bandwidth, you're probably better off using IMAGE.
RASTER coverages don't have a compact format for elevation. If you want to use the compact format for elevation to preserve bandwidth, you should use ELEVATION.
When you're fusing GRIB data, you'll still have to use MULTIVALUED. GRIB source data cannot be fused as raster, because the source format does not support the imaging API. There is no other good reason to still use MULTIVALUED.

The model structure for a decoded raster coverage is this:

The model has a TLfnRasterTileStoreModelDescriptor, which is also an ILcdImageModelDescriptor.
If the model has multi-dimensional information, it is also an ILcdMultiDimensionalModel.
Even if it doesn't have any multi-dimensional information, the model is still ILcdMultiDimensionalModel, but it has null for filter parameters.
The model adheres to the imaging API. You can get the current image usingALcdImage.fromDomainObject(modelElement).
The ALcdImage instances themselves are immutable, so when you update the dimensional filter, the reference will be updated with a new instance.

ArcSDE has been discontinued by Esri as of ArcGIS 10.3. We refer to the release notes of the ArcSDE component for more information.

As a result, theTLcyArcSDEDecoderAddOn, TLcyLspArcSDERasterFormatAddOn and TLcyLspArcSDEVectorFormatAddOn have been deprecated and removed by default from the addons.xml files.

The addons are still available in the release though. If you need them in your application, you can plug them back in by adding the following lines to your addons.xml file:

To enable the integration of the Luciad imaging API and its TLcdGXYImagePainter for SLD raster styling in GXY views, the dependency on ILcdRasterPainter has been removed from the API. More specifically:

ILcdSLDRasterPainterConfigurator and its implementation TLcdRasterPainterConfigurator have been removed.
The factory method TLcdSLDSymbolizerPainterFactory#createRasterPainterConfigurator has been removed.
The javadoc of the factory method TLcdSLDSymbolizerPainterFactory#createRasterPainterProvider no longer requires an ILcdRasterPainter as return type. Any painter provider capable of rendering rasters is sufficient.

This only impacts users that manually interacted with ILcd/TLcdRasterPainterConfigurator. If this is the case, raster painter customization should be moved to TLcdSLDSymbolizerPainterFactory#createRasterPainterProvider.

If you are using an add on configuration which still includes TLcyNetCDFRealtimeAddOn and/orTLcyNVGRealtimeAddOn, you will see severe log messages on the console which states that those add ons could not be found. In such case please remove those two add on entries from your add on configuration.

TLfnTileStoreModelDescriptor no longer implements ILcdEarthModelDescriptor. TLfnRasterTileStoreModelDescriptor no longer implements ILcdImageModelDescriptor, rather the concrete internal implementation classes do, but only when applicable:

ILcdImageModelDescriptor if the model follows the imaging API. This is the case when the coverage type is RASTER.
ILcdEarthModelDescriptor if the model follows the tile set API. This is the case when the coverage type is MULTIVALUED and in some cases also when it is ELEVATION.
Both if the model is a hybrid following both these APIs. This is the case when the coverage type is IMAGE and in in most cases also when it is ELEVATION.

This means that TLfnRasterTileStoreModelDescriptor cannot be assigned to any of the aforementioned interfaces without a cast. Model descriptors of specific models will still implement these interfaces, so you can fix any compile errors by doing a type check on the model descriptor before casting.

Implementations of ALspLabelLocationProvider will now generate a compile error that can be resolved by modifying the signature accordingly. If TLspContext was used, it can now be retrieved using the following line of code:

To enable WCS request parameter access when customizing request-related operations (data decoding, data encoding), a few API changes have been introduced:

A new class TLcdWCSRequestContext has been introduced to access request context parameters such as the original HTTP request and the requested coverage(s).
The signature of the method ILcdWCSModelEncoderFactory#createModelEncoder(ILcdModel, ILcdOutputStreamFactory, String) has been changed into ILcdWCSModelEncoderFactory#createModelEncoder(ILcdModel, ILcdOutputStreamFactory, String, TLcdWCSRequestContext).
The signature of the methods in ILcdCoverageOfferingList have been changed by means of the introduction of an extra argument of type TLcdWCSRequestContext.
The methods ILcdCoverageOfferingList#getCoverageOffering(int, TLcdWCSRequestContext) and ILcdCoverageOfferingList#getCoverageOffering(String, TLcdWCSRequestContext) can now throw an IOException.

The WCS server now supports point-sampling mode. The appropriate sampling mode is not configurable, it is automatically chosen based on the sampling mode of the data being served:

Image data, such as GeoTIFF areal imagery, is typically area-sampled.
Elevation data, such as DTED or GeoTIFF, is typically point-sampled.

When using the default GeoTIFF format, the response to a GetCoverage requests is a GeoTIFF with the appropriate tag set to 'RasterPixelIsPoint' or 'RasterPixelIsArea'.

ImprovementOGC Server

The WCS server now supports the "bilinear" interpolation method in addition to "nearest neighbor", and advertises this in the coverage offering. Bilinear interpolation usually yields better results than nearest neighbor interpolation, especially when requesting coverages in a much higher resolution than the native one (oversampling).

Added TLcdLOSOptions object. This object allows you to configure certain aspects of the result of a propagation function for our 3 main propagation-functions: TLcdLOSRadarPropagationFunction, TLcdLOSRadarPropagationFunctionSkyInBackground and TLcdLOSPropagationFunctionFixedHeight. The TLcdLOSOption object allows you to create LOS Coverage matrices in a low memory mode. This mode reduces memory used by TLcdLOSCoverageFactory while calculating LOS coverages, at a slight performance cost. TLcdLOSOption also allows you to configure the internal data format used to represent the final LOS coverage values.

The S-52 display settings can now be configured to enable or disable object class selection through TLcdS52DisplaySettings#setObjectClassSelectionEnabled(boolean). More specifically, this means that the value of TLcdS52DisplaySettings#getObjectClasses() is completely ignored in case TLcdS52DisplaySettings#isObjectClassSelectionEnabled() yields false. This behavior mirrors the old one when the object class property is nullified (which is also still supported regardless the value of TLcdS52DisplaySettings#isObjectClassSelectionEnabled()). By default, object class selection is allowed.

The S52DisplaySettingsCustomizer sample has changed as well. When display category 'OTHER' is selected, the user is allowed to select the visible object classes through a tabular user interface.

Luciad API users can now act as ECDIS system manufacturers, and use their own hardware IDs and manufacturer IDs. See the TLcdS63UnifiedModelDecoder#setEncryptedHardwareID javadoc and the developer guide for more information.

ImprovementTiling Engine

LuciadFusion now supports point-sampled elevation data. By default, the sampling mode of the assets is preserved in the coverage, but it can be set manually as well. Point-sampled and area-sampled assets can be mixed into either a point-sampled or area-sampled coverage. The interpolation of values from the assets' rasters into the coverage's raster takes care of converting the values from assets that have a different sampling mode than the coverage.

You can inspect the sampling mode of coverage with TLfnRasterCoverageMetadata.getSamplingMode().
A coverage decoded as a LuciadFusion model offers its data as both an ILcdEarthTileSet and an ALcdImageMosaic, so that it integrates with both the tile set API and the imaging API. However, only the imaging API can accurately visualize point-sampled data. Due to the lack of a point-sampled notion in the tile set API, the data will always be interpreted as area-sampled, resulting in inaccuracies such as pixels which are shifted slightly out of place. When working with point-sampled data, it is thus strongly recommended to use the imaging API. The tile set API is only supported for backwards compatibility.
Point-sampled coverages have tile width and height +1 compared to their area-sampled equivalent with the same pixel density (resolution).

The TLcyLucyEnvEvent for STATE_INITIALIZED is now fired when initialization is done, and not halfway through it.
The exit action now respects the config options specified in lucy.cfg by inserting it using TLcyActionBarUtil#insertInConfiguredActionBars
The startup method was a static method, and has now been converted to a non-static one

The LuciadFusion API was simplified to allow no more than a single coverage per model. It is no longer possible to decode multiple coverages per model. You may need to adjust your custom code:

Callers of TLfnTileStoreModelDecoder.decode need to be adjusted to match the method signature. Use a single String instead of aString[].
Callers of ALfnTileStoreModel.setCoverageIds need to be adjusted to use setCoverageId instead.
Callers of TLfnTileStoreModelDescriptor.getCoverageMetadatas or TLfnTileStoreDataSource.getCoverageMetadatas need to be adjusted to use getCoverageMetadata instead.
Custom extensions of any of the aforementioned classes need to be adjusted to match the new method signatures. Implementations should be adjusted to work with a single coverage ID instead of multiple ones.

There are almost no practical use cases for allowing multiple coverages per model. In case you need it, you can still do it manually:

Decode all the relevant coverages into their own models.
Get theILcdEarthTileSetCoverages from theILcdEarthTileSets of the separate models, and combine them into a newILcdEarthTileSet. Beware that you can only do this if their coverage structures match.
Put the combined ILcdEarthTileSet into a newILcdModel.

Default behavior was selected by setting numberOfDigits to -1. This is now equivalent to setting the numberOfDigits to 7. There is no way to restore the old behavior.

All elevation data on a Lightspeed map is now styled using the same color mapping from elevation value to color. This has the following benefits:

Logical behavior for the Lucy end-user as all datasets will be using the same elevation value to color mapping.
When loading new elevation data on the map, it will automatically be using the same elevation to color mapping as the already present elevation data.
There is a central place to adjust the color mapping for all elevation data in the UI (see Map | Style settings... menu item).
There is a central place to adjust the color mapping for all elevation data in the configuration files (see the TLcyLspStyleRepositoryAddOn.cfg file).
There is a central place for the API user to customize this color map. See ALcyLspStyleRepository#setElevationColorMap.
When writing your own data format, you can re-use this global color mapping. See ALcyLspStyleRepository#getElevationColorMap and ALcyLspStyleRepository#createElevationStyler .

A consequence of this change is that the color map for elevation layers can no longer be customized through the layer properties panel for individual layers. You can only adjust the global elevation map through Map | Style settings... . New style files (*.sty) will no longer contain the color map. Loading an old style file which still contains a color map setting will have no effect on the global color map. The color map settings in the style file will simply be ignored.

ImprovementTiling Engine

LuciadFusion now supports replication of tile stores. Given a target tile store, replication lets you define a source tile store to replicate data from. The main entry point is the classTLfnReplication. Replication allows you to:

Select which coverages or updates to replicate before initiating the actual replication.
Define an area of interest to limit the coverage size on the replica (only for tiled raster coverages). Tiles are filtered such that only those overlapping with the area of interest are replicated.

Replication has some interesting properties:

It is symmetrical, meaning that there is nothing which inherently defines a tile store to be source or target. Any tile store can be used as source or target at any given moment.
It replicates all resources: coverages, assets and themes. Replication operates on both a resource's metadata and data, but the data is only replicated as part of a coverage. This means that, for asset sources in tile store, the asset sources are replicated only if the asset is part of a coverage.
Resources are globally identified across tile stores based on the resource ID, which must be globally unique. Updates are detected based on the global update sequence of a resource, which has the semantics of a 'last modified' timestamp.

ImprovementTiling Engine

The fusion of tile set formats has been optimized: if all conditions are met, input tile data is copied raw into the target coverage, without any overhead or image rendering. The conditions are:

The coverage must be a raster coverage.
The asset must be of a tile set format. A tile set format is a format that creates models with an ILcdTileSet as element. By definition, the tiling structure thus must be power-of-two.
The coverage must have exactly one asset with one asset part. For example a single WMTS layer.
The coverage's tiling structure must match that of the asset.
The coverage's tile format must match the native format class of the tile set.
The native format class

By default, a coverage will be automatically configured to meet these conditions if possible. There are two default tile set formats:

WMTS
Geospatial PDF

You can of course define your own tile set format, in which case you must take the above conditions into account.

Because of the OGC web service front-end improvement (LCD-1097), there is a change in 3rd party library dependencies for the OGC web service sample. Because this new front-end is now built using JavaScript instead of JSP, the following JSP-related libraries have been removed:

It is now possible to define the content type (MIME type) of a custom outputFormat. To this end, the return type of method ILcdWFSClientModelEncoderFactory.createModelEncoder has changed from ILcdModelEncoder to a new type ILcdWFSModelEncoder. You need to update your implementations accordingly:

If the ILcdModelEncoder you used to return is an instance of a class under your control, just implement the new method getContentType.
If the ILcdModelEncoder you used to return is an instance of a class not under your control, you can wrap it using TLcdWFSModelEncoder and give it a content type. Using null as content type is allowed but not recommended: it means that the GetFeature response will not have a content type, which can result in ill-defined behavior on the client.

The sample class S63ModelDecoder was removed: it configured the sample permit, and was annotated with @LcdService so that the sample data could be loaded with the service-loader-based model decoder. Since the TLcdS63UnifiedModelDecoder now automatically picks up the permit, this is not necessary anymore.

TLcdS63UnifiedModelDecoder is now annotated with @LcdService instead.

ImprovementTiling Engine

LuciadFusion now supports fusion of floating point elevation values. There are some limitations:

The input format needs to support floating point elevation values as well. GeoTIFF is currently the only format that supports this.
The new elevation tile format "image/tiff" provides optimal support for floating point values and is the new default. Old clients will not be able to visualize coverages with this new tile format. For backwards compatibility, you need to explicitly set "image/png" as tile format on the coverage.
The old "image/png" tile format also provides limited support for decimal values by scaling them. The drawback is that the precision is unpredictable because the scaling depends on the max./min. values which are different in each tile.
It may be beneficial to use "image/tiff" even if the input format does not support floating point elevation values: fusion interpolates the values, in which case it makes sense to preserve their floating point nature even if the input values themselves are not floating point.
The "image/tiff" tile format can also be used for multivalued data. Even though there is currently no input format that supports floating point multivalued data, it may still be beneficial to use this new tile format to preserve floating point values: fusion interpolates the values, in which case it makes sense to preserve their floating point nature even if the input values themselves are not floating point.

TLpsFusionVectorLayerBuilder: you can now set any ILspStyler on the builder, without triggering tile loading of the most detailed level.

Prior to this release, you had to make sure that the ILspStyler which was set used a TLspFusionGeometryProvider. If this was forgotten, you would probably trigger the loading of the most detailed tiles, even when visualizing tiles at a less detailed level.

The TLpsFusionVectorLayerBuilder will now automatically ensure that the ILspStyler works with the correct geometries. Consult the class javadoc of TLpsFusionVectorLayerBuilder for more information.

This improvement has two consequences:

The ILspStyler which is returned by the ILspInteractivePaintableLayer#getStyler method of the created layer will no longer be the styler which was set on the builder.
If your ILspStyler uses an ALspStyleTargetProvider, this style target provider will no longer receive the domain objects as it was previously the case. It will receive the geometries specific to a tile instead. Consult the class javadoc of TLpsFusionVectorLayerBuilder for more information.

With the introduction of support for non-quadtree tile matrix sets, it is no longer guaranteed that WMTS models (created via TLcdWMTSModelDecoder) contain an ILcdEarthTileSet domain object. If a layer's tile structure is not a quadtree, the created domain object (via TLcdWMTSModelDecoder) is an extension of ALcdMultilevelImageMosaic. In this case you can no longer explicitly cast the domain object to an ILcdEarthTileSet as before. If the tile structure is a quadtree, the created domain object can be casted to both ILcdEarthTileSet and ALcdMultilevelImageMosaic.

AssetParts now always belong to a parent asset metadata, to which they now have a reference. They can no longer be created as stand-alone instances. The constructors of RasterAssetPart and VectorAssetPart have been removed. As a result, users of any of these constructors will get compile errors which can be fixed by using either AssetPart.Builders or one of the methods addAssetPart or setAssetPart on TLfnRasterAssetMetadata.Builder or TLfnVectorAssetMetadata.Builder.

The AssetPart.Builders can be created using the method ALfnAssetMetadata.Builder.newAssetPart(). When the asset metadata is built, its asset parts will have a reference to it.

There are convenience methods TLfnRaster/VectorAssetMetadata.Builder.addAssetPart and setAssetPart, with which you can immediately add an asset part with its relevant parameters without the need to create a builder.

ALfnAssetMetadata.Builder.getAssetParts has been replaced with ALfnAssetMetadata.Builder.getAssetPartBuilders. This method allows you to inspect the properties of the asset parts being built, without the need to build the asset metadata just yet.

Map centric frontend sample:

the task panes (SwingX) have been replaced with custom on-map panes. This allowed to heavily tune the behavior towards this specific use case. Amongst others: collapsed panels are only as wide as their title (instead of their content), animations are now also available for panels changing their content, extensive logic to decide which panes to collapse, improved behavior if panes don't fit on screen ...
the location of the tool bar items changed by explicitly specifying their order (see 'toolBar.groupPriorities' in 'map_centric_frontend.cfg'). Also, the select and ruler controller are now configured in the 'ControlsGroup' instead of the 'ControllersGroup', in sync with the regular configuration files.
The button to load data has been removed from the layer control panel (see 'map_centric_map_addon_MapComponent.cfg')
The search box of the table view is now at the far right, as it was in look and feels other than Nimbus (see FindInTableAction.java).
The horizontal borders near the tool bars (orange and dark) are now more consistent.
The width of the preview controls (time slider) now adapts to the size of the map.
The sample code has been restructured introducing two new packages: one containing Swing UI classes, another package dealing with Lucy application panes.
The format bar (drawing, PIM, MS2525 ...) now automatically activates when creating or loading a layer. It does no longer switch tabs when selecting another layer though. This avoids distractive animations when selecting objects belonging to different bars which have different heights.

ImprovementLuciadLightspeed

The fusion metadata model now supports specifying that the asset sources must be stored in the Tile Store. This can be specified on the coverage metadata. The presence of asset sources in the Tile Store enables WMS GetFeatureInfo requests for a coverage. There are limitations as to the input data formats:

S-57 catalogues and cells are supported.
All other formats only supported if the source is a single file. Auxiliary files are lost. Fusion does not fail on these formats, instead it copies only a single asset source.
Only files are supported, not streams in general.

The compilation scale is used to determine the maximum level of detail of the resulting coverage.
The navigational purpose scale is used to determine the minimum level of detail at which data becomes visible in a coverage.
The coverage now has underscale indicators by default.
The coverage now has overscale indicators by default. These will never become visible "earlier" than in the input data. They may become visible "later" than in the input data, but never later than twice the scale of the input data. The coverage will have exactly one level with overscale indicators, and that is the most detailed level.
There is at least one level in the coverage where the data is visible without overscale indicators.
Using square pixels minimizes visual rasterization artifacts such as "squashed" icons. New static methods have been added to TLfnTileStoreUtil to adjust coverage layout, tile size and bounding box to ensure square pixels in the coverage's native georeference.

TLcdWMTSModelDescriptor now doesn't implement ILcdEarthModelDescriptor anymore. Models for individual WMTS layers will still have a model descriptor that is both TLcdWMTSModelDescriptor and ILcdEarthModelDescriptor. However, when decoding multiple WMTS layers, the decoded model is a model tree node, with no data in the root node and sub-models for each WMTS layer. Since the root node does not contain any data, it should not have an ILcdEarthModelDescriptor.

TLcyMS2525bAddOn and TLcyAPP6AAddOn now by default use the MIL-STD-2525c and APP-6B symbologies. This may cause errors or warnings when loading workspaces containing MS2525b/APP6A data.

The wrapper should return a TLcyEditableMS2525bObjectCustomizerPanelFactory in its createDomainObjectCustomizerPanelFactories method.

Similarly, the format bar implementation has been changed. To revert to the previous format bar implementation, you can copy the format bar sample code from the previous release and return it in your ALcyFormatWrapper's createFormatBarFactory method.

TLspShapePainter now only applies style change events from its own stylers. In particular, style events with the wrong event source will be ignored. This can happen when one styler decorates another styler, and forwards events without adapting the source. If you use a styler decorator, make sure it does not attach external listeners to its delegate directly. Instead, it should intercept the events of the delegate and re-fire the events, as shown here:

        public class StylerDecorator extends ALspStyler {
            private final ILspStyler fDelegate;

            private StylerDecorator( ILspStyler aDelegate ) {
                fDelegate = aDelegate;
                fDelegate.addStyleChangeListener( new ILspStyleChangeListener() {
                    @Override public void styleChanged( TLspStyleChangeEvent aEvent ) {
                        fireStyleChangeEvent( aEvent.getAffectedModel(), aEvent.getAffectedObjects(), aEvent.getAffectedStyles() );
                    }
                } );
            }

            @Override public void style( Collection aObjects, ALspStyleCollector aStyleCollector, TLspContext aContext ) {

TLcyS57DecoderAddOn: it is no longer possible to use different TLcdS52DisplaySettings for the individual layers. Previously Lucy allowed to change the display settings in a general panel which changed the settings of all layers. However, it was also possible to change the display settings of an individual layer (e.g. through the layer properties panel or by loading a style file). This would result in an application-wide display settings panel showing certain settings and a layer which used other settings. To avoid this confusion, the settings per layer mechanism has been removed and the layer properties panel UI no longer allows to set custom settings on a layer. If you would alter the display settings of an individual layer through the API (e.g. loading a style file), it will affect the general display settings as well, hence all S-52 layers in the application.

Upgrade considerationLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

The TLcyS57DecoderAddOn has been moved to another package. It is no longer contained in the com.luciad.lucy.addons.decoders package but has been moved to the com.luciad.lucy.addons.s57 package. The configuration file has been moved as well. The new configuration file is the lucy/s57/TLcyS57DecoderAddOn.cfg file.

If you use your own addons.xml file containing the TLcyS57DecoderAddOn, it should be updated to reflect those changes: both the class name as the location of the config file should be adjusted. If you use an extension of the TLcyS57DecoderAddOn, you will get a compile error due to the move.

The S-63 functionality has also been moved from the TLcyS57DecoderAddOn to a new TLcyS63FormatAddOn. The S-63 related configuration options in the s57decoderaddon.cfg file have been moved to the configuration file of the new add-on (TLcyS63FormatAddOn.cfg). If you used S-63 data in your application, you will need to include both the TLcyS57DecoderAddOn and the TLcyS63FormatAddOn in your addons.xml file.

Fusion of coverages can now also be performed on the server. A system which is both fusion server and tile server is a typical setup. In a more advanced setup, client, fusion server and tile server are all different systems. The client and fusion server both require access to the source data. The data root of the source data may be different on the different machines. You can define path prefixes to make abstraction of system-specific data roots.

Work has been done to centralize all the information about the fusion of a coverage on the tile server. If a fusion server breaks down, another fusion server has all the information it needs to be able to continue the work. Some configuration has been moved from the engine session to the coverage. Line simplification, area simplification, filtering etc. can now be configured on the coverage rather than on the engine session.

ImprovementTiling Engine

Fusion engine checkpoints are now stored on the tile store in the coverage user data (see ALfnCoverage.getUserData).

This means ALfnEngineEnvironment.getCheckpointDirectory is not used anymore. Using null to disable checkpoints is still valid, but instead you should set the checkpoint interval to -1 (you can set it with RasterSessionBuilder.setCheckpointInterval or VectorSessionBuilder.setCheckpointInterval).

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

The packaging of LuciadLightspeed has been streamlined:

The javadoc is now packaged in a separate zip file called Javadoc.zip. That way you can avoid downloading and extracting this documentation.
There are now more, but smaller, jar files for LuciadLightspeed. This avoids circular dependencies between jar files that were present in previous versions of LuciadLightspeed. That should make it easier to integrate the jar files in some build tools.
The jar files of third party libraries now contain the version number in their filename. That way you can easily determine the version of a jar file.
The resources of a jar file are no longer packaged in separate jar files. This way it is clearer that these resources are not optional. This also reduces the number of jar files that are included in the release. Only the optional geoid resources remain in a separate jar file.

The prerequisites pages in the Technical notes section was updated to reflect these changes. Please take a look at those for more detailed information.

Added support for creating a Lightspeed view that is not geographically referenced. The lightspeed.nongeoreferenced sample demonstrates this. To accommodate this the following API has changed:

A model with a reference that does not implement ILcdGeoReference is no longer interpreted as data defined in view coordinates. A null model reference is now used for data in view coordinates. This is demonstrated in the lightspeed.paintinview sample.
ALspStyleTargetProvider.getStyleTargetReference now returns an ILcdModelReference instead of an ILcdGeoReference. For all Luciad ILcdGeoReference implementations you can simply cast the reference to ILcdModelReference.
The default transformations now also support identity transformations between custom references.

The projection combo box in the Lightspeed map can now be configured as an action. This allows inserting it into any action bar. The old TLcyLspMapComponentFactory.PROJECTION_ACTION_BAR_COMPONENT component and TLcyLspMapComponentFactory.PROJECTION_ACTION_BAR action bar have been removed. If you have overridden the TLcyLspMapComponentFactory#createComponent or TLcyLspMapComponentFactory#createToolBar method for these ID's you should instead override TLcyLspMapComponentFactory#createAction for the PROJECTION_ACTION ID.

Lucy.bat/Lucy.sh now starts with a Lightspeed view that can be used for both 2D and 3D. There is no distinction anymore in the GUI between 2D and 3D maps.

To remain as lightweight as possible, Lucy only loads add-ons that are relevant to a Lightspeed view. The GXY map and the map overview add-on are not included. As a result, workspaces with GXY specific functionality will not load correctly.

You can still start a GXY based Lucy using the LucyGXY.bat/LucyGXY.sh script, which remains fully compatible with the previous Lucy versions.

To make this possible, the add-ons files have been split up. They can be now found in the resources/lucy directory.

The ALspInteractiveLabelProvider#dispatchAWTEvent() and ALspInteractiveLabelProvider#convertAWTEvent() methods were removed. Because of this change, the event dispatching mechanism of AWT is used, which solves problems in corner cases. After this change

the removed methods are not called anymore causing a possible behavioral change.
rather than handling all events for all components and subcomponents of an interactive label via a single method, it will be needed to register listeners on the components for which events are required.
some custom event dispatching is no longer possible. For example: dispatching left mouse button events to a sub component, but handling middle mouse button events in the parent component is no longer feasible using the standard AWT event dispatching system. This is something that AWT does not support.

ILcdEarthParameterizedIcon now gets a double[] parameter in its getWidth() and getHeight() methods. As a result of this change you may get some compile errors. Implementations of ILcdEarthParameterizedIcon can be fixed by adding the double[] parameter to the methods. Implementations can be improved by using the double[] parameter in the implementation. Callers of these methods should pass the parameters to it.

The implementation of TLcdXYBounds and TLcdXYZBounds have changed slightly. The functionality has not been changed, but the internal method call sequence has. These methods do not always call their related 2D methods anymore: contains3D, interacts3D, setTo3DUnion, setTo3DIntersection and setToInclude3DPoint. For example, contains3D does not always invoke contains2D.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

LCD-878

An ILcdBounds instance can now be undefined. This means that the instance does not describe a geographic region. For this, there is a new method on ILcdBounds: isDefined(). Implementations must add this method. Usually, returning true is enough. Extensions of ALcd2DEditableBounds can use setDefined(boolean) to manage the defined status. The behavior of the LuciadLightspeed bounds implementations is mostly the same.

Use ALcdBounds.isDefined(aBounds) as a shorthand to check for null bounds or undefined bounds
Bounds transformations will throw TLcdNoBoundsException if the input bounds is undefined
Composite shapes such as ILcdShapeList, ILcdPointLists, ILcdPolygon, etc. will return undefined bounds if they are empty

When creating new bounds instances using LuciadLightspeed implementations:

default (empty) constructors -> undefined
constructors with values -> defined
copy constructor -> copies defined status
clone* -> copies defined status
equals/hashCode -> take defined status into account

When modifying bounds instances:

move?D, translate?D, setWidth, setHeight, setDepth -> instance becomes defined

When testing with bounds instances:

undefined.contains?D(anything) = false
undefined.interacts?D(anything) = false
defined.contains?D(undefined bounds) = false
defined.interacts?D(undefined bounds) = false
Note: this means that new TLcdLonLatBounds().contains2D(0, 0) now returns false instead of true

Calculating intersections:

Position, width and height are always updated as before
undefined.setTo?DIntersection(anything) -> stays undefined
defined.setTo?DIntersection(undefined bounds) -> becomes undefined
defined.setTo?DIntersection(defined bounds, but disjoint, no overlap) -> becomes undefined

Calculating unions:

undefined.setTo?DUnion(defined bounds) -> becomes defined, equal to given bounds
defined/undefined.setTo?DUnion(undefined bounds) -> no change in bounds or defined status
setToIncludePoint?D -> same as union

ILspShapeDiscretizer's previously deprecated canDiscretize method has been removed.

The 'blend overlap' property of TLspLineStyle is now represented by an enumeration that allows setting the mode to 'AUTO'. This new mode is also the new default, so existing applications that required that blendOverlap was set to false, will now have to set it to 'NEVER'.

The default styler for shape layers has also been adapted to use this 'AUTO' mode.

ILspEditor no longer extends ILcdUndoableSource. As a result, it is no longer possible to attach undoable listeners to editors in general. The functionality has been moved to TLspEditOperationResult. This object now stores an undoable. Like before, each edit operation will create a TLspEditOperationResult. This now has a getUndoable() and a constructor that allows you to supply the result with an undoable.

So how does this affect your editors? The following rules should apply:

If you haven't customized any editors: No change in your code should be required.
If you implemented a simple ALspEditor: Everything should work without change to your code. ALspEditor itself has been modified internally to work with the new undo behavior. This will still propagate correctly to the edit controller.
If you implemented an ALspEditor that delegates to another editor: Make sure that you check the TLspEditOperationResult of your delegate first. If this contains an undoable, you should pass this undoable
If you implemented a fully custom ILspEditor: The same rules apply as the bullet point above. Also, if you generate your own undoables, be sure to create new TLspEditOperationResult objects that contain them, instead of firing the undoable as you would before.

A general rule is that, if you had the following code:

      @Override
      public TLspEditOperationResult edit(...){
        //Do edit
        ILcdUndoable undoable = ...
        fireUndoableEvent(new TLcdUndoableEvent(this, undoable));
        return TLspEditOperationResult.SUCCESS;
      }

You should replace it with:

      @Override
      public TLspEditOperationResult edit(...){
        //Do edit
        ILcdUndoable undoable = ...
        TLspEditOperationResult result = new TLspEditOperationResult(isSuccesful, isInvalid, undoable);
        return result;
      }

The TLspExtrudedShapeEditor no longer returns true for the canEdit method in case its delegate can edit the shape, for consistency with all the other editors. Now each ALspEditor only accepts shapes it can edit itself. The new recommended way to create an editor that supports both extruded shapes and a specific delegate shape is as follows:

      TLspCompositeEditor compositeEditor = new TLspCompositeEditor();
      compositeEditor.addEditor(new TLspExtrudedShapeEditor(compositeEditor));
      compositeEditor.addEditor(new TLsp2DPointListEditor());

The example above works for when you want an editor that edits both 2D pointlists and extruded 2D pointlists.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

Some methods in ALspStyleCollectorWrapper and ALspLabelStyleCollectorWrapper have been made final. These methods now convert the argument and forward the call to another method of the wrapper class. An example is the 'object' method, which wraps its argument in a Collection and forwards the call to the 'objects' method. Now it is no longer needed to override both the 'object' and 'objects' method, but it is sufficient to override the 'objects' method.

In case you have overridden one of the affected methods, you will get a compile error. Normally, you can just delete that overridden final method. The custom behavior of that method should already be included in the other method, otherwise your extension violated the documentation. So in case you had an extension of ALspStyleCollectorWrapper containing the following code:

      @Override
      public ALspStyleCollectorWrapper object( Object aObject ){
        doSomethingCustom( Collections.singleton( aObject ) );
        return super.object( aObject );
      }
      @Override
      public ALspStyleCollectorWrapper objects( Collection<? extends Object> aObjects ){
        doSomethingCustom( aObjects );
        return super.objects( aObjects );
      }

You can just delete the custom 'object' method.

The TLcyPreviewAddOn now works on multiple maps. This has some consequences:

The UI created in the TLcyPreviewAddOnCustomizerFactory no longer creates a MAP_COMBO_BOX_COMPONENT nor a MODEL_LIST_COMPONENT, but returns null for those components instead. The action to set the time range of the simulator model has been moved from the MODEL_LIST_COMPONENT to the layer control.
Next to adapting the time range from the layer control context menu, a new drop-down button in the previewer UI allows to set the time range as well.
As the previewer now works on multiple maps at the same time, the preview add-on will contain simulator models from multiple maps. This affects both the events fired by the preview add-on as well as the result of the getSimulatorModel( int ) method on the preview add-on.
The addSimulatorModel and removeSimulatorModel methods of the TLcyPreviewAddOn got deprecated in favor of the addSimulatorModelNoLayers and removeSimulatorModelNoLayers. The latter allow to add a simulator model to the preview add-on, but does not create any layers. The deprecated methods still create layers, but only for the first GXY map. This provides backwards compatibility for single map applications which used the add/removeSimulatorModel methods. Applications which used multiple GXY views in combinations with those methods will be affected. In that case it is suggested to use the new methods and manage the layers manually.

ALspStampLabelLocation (and TLspStampLabelLocation) now support absolute view locations, i.e. labels anchored to the screen origin. See ALspStampLabelLocation.LocationData.isAbsoluteViewLocation() for more information.

Absolute label locations are used by the StickyLabelsController sample class. When registering a layer to this controller using StickyLabelsController.registerLayer() (see also AbstractLspPanel.createStickyLabelsLayerFilter()), labels are made absolute and sticky when moving the mouse cursor over them. When this is done, labels don't move away from under the mouse cursor, making it easier to select and edit them.

TLspLabelingAlgorithm now also contains an option not to reuse previous label locations, see TLspLabelingAlgorithm.setReusePreviousLocations(). This option can be used to make sure that labels don't remain at the incorrect location after hovering over them.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

The API of all asynchronous methods on ALfnCoverage and ALfnTileStore has been made consistent. The changes:

All asynchronous methods return a Future which can be used to block for the result or to cancel the operation
All asynchronous methods require an extension of ILfnFailureHandler defining the throwables which may happen during asynchronous operation. This is the equivalent of a 'throws' clause of a synchronous method.
Exceptions are propagated via the asynchronous handler, or via an ExecutionException thrown when blocking for the result using Future.get(). In case of multiple exceptions, it is the first one which is propagated. Either one of these mechanisms can be used, they are equivalent.
ILfnFailureHandler has an addition callback method cancelled(CancellationException) next to interrupted(InterruptedException). The former happens when a Future is cancelled, while the latter happens when a thread was unexpectedly interrupted.

Beware that, even though methods have an asynchronous signature, they may do some of their work synchronously. Even in this case, throwables which are thrown synchronously (most notably RuntimeExceptions and Errors) are still propagated via the Future and asynchronous handler. The idea is that this is an implementation detail which is transparent to the application.

New API has been introduced to allow more customization of the editing functionality in Lightspeed views. In the context of this, the ILspEditor interface has changed considerably. If you have implemented this interface and would like assistance to upgrade to a newer version of LuciadLightspeed, please contact Luciad support.

ILspTerrainSupport: all terrain query methods now have an additional TLspContext argument. This is necessary to allow the methods to be called from a separate thread. The context in that case would be a snapshot of the view's state which is used for the terrain query, while the view's actual state might be changed by the main thread.

The impact of this change should be minimal, since the methods in question are primarily used internally by painters.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

Camera constraints: replaced ALspCameraConstraint2D and ALspCameraConstraint3D by a generic ALspCameraConstraint class. Also the constrainXxxParameters method was replaced by a more general constrain method. Also removed ConstraintChangeListener interfaces and replaced them with ILcdChangeListener.

ALspViewXYZWorldTransformations are now constructed for a specific view. As a consequence, the registerView(ILspView) and unregisterView(ILspView) methods were removed. TLspViewXYZWorldTransformation2D and TLspViewXYZWorldTransformation3D constructors now have an ILspView as argument.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

The various calls to retrieve bounds and touch information from a layer or painter about objects on the screen has changed. They have been replaced by a single ILspInteractivePaintableLayer.query() method that accepts various query objects and returns the relevant information.

In particular, the following calls have been removed:

ILspInteractivePaintableLayer.queryOnViewBounds
ILspInteractivePaintableLayer.queryTouched
ILspInteractivePaintableLayer.isTouched
TLspLayer.applyOnInteract
ILspPainter.queryOnViewBounds
ILspPainter.queryTouched
ILspPainter.isTouched
ILspPainter.boundsSFCT
ILspLabelPainter.isLabelTouched
ILspLabelPainter.labelBoundsSFCT

Although you can still query painters directly, it is advised to query the layer instead. You can replace the removed calls above with these query() calls on ILspInteractivePaintableLayer:

query(new TLspPaintedObjectsBoundsQuery(REGULAR_BODY, viewBounds, 10))
query(new TLspPaintedObjectsTouchQuery(REGULAR_BODY, viewPoint, 10))
query(new TLspIsTouchedQuery(object, REGULAR_BODY, viewPoint, 10))
query(new TLspPaintedObjectsQuery(REGULAR_BODY, viewBounds))
query(new TLspPaintedObjectsBoundsQuery(REGULAR_BODY, viewBounds, 10)) (same as #1)
query(new TLspPaintedObjectsTouchQuery(REGULAR_BODY, viewPoint, 10)) (same as #2)
query(new TLspIsTouchedQuery(object, REGULAR_BODY, viewPoint, 10)) (same as #3)
query(new TLspBoundsQuery(object, REGULAR_BODY))
query(new TLspIsTouchedQuery(label, viewPoint, 10)) (similar to #3)
query(new TLspBoundsQuery(label)) (similar to #8)

The new query method also uses the ALspBoundsInfo and ALspTouchInfo classes as possible return types, with some minor modifications:

ALspWorldBoundsInfo#isGeometryDraped has been removed as there was no clear use case.
ALspWorldTouchInfo#isGeometryDraped has been replaced with getElevationMode. This allows us to return more information about the position of the touched geometry.

The label location hierarchy was simplified and made more flexible. This has an impact on the location classes and label painter hierarchy.

TLspFreeLabelLocation was removed, use TLspStampLabelLocation as a replacement, which is more powerful.

ILspFreeLocationLabelPainter interface was removed. The API of ILspStampLocationLabelPainter was changed to aid algorithms.

ILspLabelPlacer is now tied specifically to one view. This means that its placeLabels() method does not accept a view anymore, and that it only contains label locations for objects in one view.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

The API of ALspLabelLocations was simplified. Instead of the various applyOn() methods there is one getLabelLocations() and one getLabelLocation() method.

Related, TLspLabelLocationVisibilityChangedEvent was merged into TLspLabelLocationChangedEvent. Instead of the processChangedLocations() and isLabelLocationChanged() methods, there now is only a simple getChanges() method.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

The ILspPaintGroupsChangeListener interface has been changed to support better control over the event processing. This allows for example to make sure that updates to the body and label of objects are visible at the same time. All ILspPainter's must now also implement this interface.

To convert an implementation of the old interface you can perform all work previously done in the paintGroupsChanged method in the prepareChanges method and invoke the changesReady method on the callback immediately if it is not null.

To convert a painter that previously did not implement ILspPaintGroupsChangeListener you should at least invoke the changesReady method on the callback argument passed in the prepareChanges method if it is not null.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

The method ILcdOGCFilterEvaluator#buildFilter, used to create a filter evaluator for a given OGC Filter, now returns an ILcdDynamicFilter instead of an ILcdFilter. This has been done for optimal interoperability when using these filter evaluators on GXY, GL and LSP layers.

Applications that use this method will not be affected, since ILcdDynamicFilter is an extension of ILcdFilter. The change only affects applications that define a custom implementation of ILcdOGCFilterEvaluator or an extension of its default implementation TLcdOGCFilterEvaluator. If this is the case, the new methods introduced by ILcdDynamicFilter, i.e. addChangeListener and addChangeListener), can be given an empty implementation, since dynamic changes to the filter are not supported.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

TLspGXYLayerAdapter no longer allows to set an ILcdFilter on the inner GXY layer. Only ILcdDynamicFilter instances are allowed. Exceptions will be thrown at runtime when an incorrect filter is set on the inner layer.

To convert an ILcdFilter to an ILcdDynamicFilter you can make use of the TLcdChangeSupport class. This class makes it easy to implement ILcdChangeSource.

Upgrade considerationLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

The ALcyLspCameraLinker class has been removed from the API. The extensions of this class, ALcyLspCameraLinker2D and ALcyLspCameraLinker3D remain available. The recommended way to implement your own Lightspeed camera linker is to start from one of those two subclasses, hence the ALcyLspCameraLinker has no added value nor a direct purpose. In case you extended directly from ALcyLspCameraLinker you will get a compile error. Adjust your class to extend from ALcyLspCameraLinker2D or ALcyLspCameraLinker3D directly (based on whether the linker was created for a 2D or a 3D Lightspeed view respectively).

Also, the canLinkTrackingCamera method has been removed in favor of the new method isValidViewXYZWorldTransformation. If you have overridden this method and only rely on the view-to-world transformation, override isValidViewXYZWorldTransformation instead. Else, plug in a customized ALcyCameraLinkerFactory and override its canCreateCameraLinker method.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

The signature of the methods getTile, putTile and deleteTile on ALfnCoverage has changed:

getTile and putTile now take an additional ByteBuffer parameter which can be used to retrieve/provide a signature for the tile. Existing applications or applications which are not interested in the signature may provide a null argument.
the level, row and column parameters have been replaced by a single TLfnTileCoordinates parameter. A TLfnTileCoordinates instance can easily be created via its getInstance() factory method, given the level, row and column arguments.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

The Fusion protocol now also supports text geometry. Objects with ILcdText geometry can now be fused to vector coverages, and displayed accordingly in Fusion clients. The vector tile data format used by the Fusion protocol has been updated to allow modelling of text geometry; old clients will no longer be able to read data which has been fused with a new Fusion engine supporting text geometry. New Fusion engines can still fuse to the old tile data format, by setting the appropriate codec version number on the coverage metadata.

TLcyLspLayerCustomizerAddOn: add-on which provides a fallback customizer panel for TLcyLayerContext instances containing Lightspeed layer(s)
ALcyLspFormat, ALcyLspFormatAddOn have been introduced, together with some useful extensions. These classes allow to easily create a new format (with style support)
A new format wrapper, TLcyGXYLspAsynchronousFormatWrapper, has been introduced to enhance an existing ALcyFormat with Lightspeed rendering.
TLcyLspMapComponentFactory instances use ILcdInitialLayerIndexProvider to calculate the optimal position of newly added Lightspeed layers. See also the release note of ILcdInitialLayerIndexProvider in the release notes of LuciadMap.
ILcyCustomizerPanelFactory instances are available for a set of Lightspeed styles. See the com.luciad.lucy.gui.customizer.lightspeed package documentation.
TLcyGXYLspAsynchronousFormatWrapper: ALcyFormat wrapper that adds support for Lightspeed to existing ALcyFormats. All layers of the wrapped format will be painted asynchronously, using Lightspeed rendering if the hardware supports it.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

Lightspeed views can be opened in Lucy, and several add-ons have been created providing extra functionality related to those Lightspeed views:

TLcyLspMapAddOn: the Lightspeed counter-part of the TLcyMapAddOn and TLcyGLMapAddOn. This add-on allows to create a new Lightspeed map. The File | New | 3D Map menu entry now opens a Lightspeed map. In order to re-activate the menu entry for the old 3D map, remove the 'TLcyGLMapAddOn.createMapAction.menuBar.insert=false' entry from the TLcyGLMapAddOn.cfg file.
Two samples illustrating the customization options of this new add-on are included as well: lucy.lightspeed.map.guifactory and lucy.lightspeed.missionmap .
TLcyLspMapOverviewAddOn: allows the TLcyMapOverviewAddOn to display the bounds of Lightspeed views as well.
Lightspeed versions of several data format add-ons have been created.
TLcyLspFallbackFormatAddOn and TLcyLspGLFallbackFormatAddOn: allows to visualize data on the Lightspeed view using the available ILcdGXYLayerFactory and ILcdGLLayerFactory instances when no ILspLayerFactory is available.
TLcyLspToteAddOn: the Lightspeed counter-part of TLcyToteAddOn and TLcyToteOpenGLAddOn. This add-on shows the Lightspeed layer's objects and their properties in a table view.
TLcyLspGridCoordinateAddOn: this add-on allows the panel created by the TLcyGridCoordinateAddOn to work on Lightspeed maps as well.
TLcyLspCameraLinkAddOn: this add-on provides tracking camera linking functionality for Lightspeed views. It plugs in different default tracking cameras and allows to plug in custom ones.

Numerous samples have been updated and added, illustrating how Lightspeed should be integrated with Lucy:

The general best practice sample has been updated to include support for Lightspeed views. It defines 2 new sample add-ons:
- BestPracticeFlightPlanLspFormatAddOn: displays flight plans on a Lightspeed view.
- BestPracticeWayPointLspFormatAddOn: displays way points on a Lightspeed view.
Also the realtime best practice sample has been updated to include support for Lightspeed views. It defines one extra new sample add-on, in addition to those already defined by the general best practice sample:
- BestPracticeTimeStampedTrackLspFormatAddOn: displays time stamped tracks on a Lightspeed view.
A Lightspeed style sample (lucy.lightspeed.style) has been added to demonstrate how the Lightspeed styling mechanism can be combined with the Lucy layer style mechanism to change the transparency for all layers. It defines 1 new add-on:
- LspStyleAddOn: adds a slider to the toolbar of Lightspeed map components that allows to change the transparency of all layers that expose a Lightspeed style.
Two lightspeed samples (lucy.lightspeed.modifiedlinestyle and lucy.lightspeed.newiconstyle) have been added to demonstrate how to create custom layer customizer panels, allowing users to move, combine or redefine existing panels and to create new ones. Both samples define an additional add-on:
- CustomLineStyleAddOn: replaces the standard UI for customizing the line style with its own UI.
- SHPFormatAddOn: introduces a custom layer properties panel for SHP layers containing a custom icon style customizer panel.
The lucy.lightspeed.loadstyle sample has been introduced, illustrating how the new ILcyLayerStyleCodec interface can be used to load a layer style from disk and apply it to an existing layer. The sample also interacts with the application-wide selection style, as provided by the TLcyLspStyleRepositoryAddOn.
The lucy.lightspeed.customizablestyle sample illustrates how the Lucy style mechanism can deal with any ILspCustomizableStyler implementation, and provides out-of-the-box layer properties panel, style codecs and workspace support for those ILspCustomizableStyler implementations.
The lucy.syncstyle sample (previously called the lucy.glmap.syncstyle) has been rewritten to work on Lightspeed maps as well. The sample now illustrates how the layer style between different layers on different maps (both GXY as Lightspeed maps) can be kept in sync.
The lucy.density sample has been introduced, illustrating how a TLcdGXYLspAsynchronousLayerWrapper can be used to add Lightspeed layers to a view.

Previous implementations, based on GL4Java and older versions of JOGL, are no longer included with the release. Applications that forced the use of a particular binding via the system property "com.luciad.view.opengl.binding.ALcdGLBinding" should now be forced to use the JOGL 2.x binding. Normally, this should not pose any problems, however.

This Additional Component provides support for preprocessing raster and elevation data into a 3D terrain database, as well as painters and other tools to work with such terrain databases.

A new abstract method, createGXYLspAsynchronousLayer(), was added to ALcyAsynchronousPaintFacade. This method creates a GXY layer, which uses a Lightspeed layer internally. Custom classes extending from ALcyAsynchronousPaintFacade will generate a compile error. Classes wrapping an ALcyAsynchronousPaintFacade can solve this compile error by wrapping the new method. Classes implementing ALcyAsynchronousPaintFacade can solve this compile error by returning a TLcdGXYLspAsynchronousLayerWrapper or a TLcdGXYLspAsynchronousLayerTreeNodeWrapper. Should Lightspeed not be available to you, you can simply direct the call to ALcyAsynchronousPaintFacade.createGXYAsynchronousLayer().

The signature of the method ALfnTileStore.query() has been changed compared to LuciadFusion V11.0: it no longer declares to throw InterruptedException. Because it is an asynchronous method, InterruptedExceptions are propagated via the ILfnQueryHandler. This has been the behavior since V10.0, so there is no actual change in behavior.

ILcdLayerTreeNode now allows configuring the position at which layers are inserted by setting an ILcdInitialLayerIndexProvider on the node. See ILcdLayerTreeNode#addLayer.

Direct implementations of the ILcdLayerTreeNode interface will no longer compile, requiring the implementation of the ILcdInitialLayerIndexProvider getter and setter.
The new methods have been added to TLcdLayerTreeNodeSupport, which is the support class for creating such nodes. If you have created an ILcdLayerTreeNode implementation by delegating to this support class, you can implement these new methods by delegating them to the support class as well.

LMAP-3366, LMAP-4581

The APP-6A and MIL-STD 2525b icon classes TLcdAPP6AIcon and TLcdMS2525bIcon now properly paint within the bounding box determined by the icon width and height.

In the past, this was not the case for icons that had an anchor point different from the center of the icon (e.g., the icon for the Point Of Interest symbol). For those icons, TLcdAPP6AIcon and TLcdMS2525bIcon shifted the painting position according to this anchor point offset. TLcdAPP6AIcon and TLcdMS2525bIcon now no longer perform the anchor point shift by themselves. To determine the correct anchor point, TLcdAPP6AIcon and TLcdMS2525bIcon now implement ILcdAnchoredIcon, which offers the anchorPointSFCT(Point) method for this.

This change only affects applications that define a custom painter/editor for the icons (for instance, to customize the selection box around the icon) or that directly use the API of the icons (for instance, to save them to a bitmap). For these use cases, the users of the API needed to explicitly take the anchor point shift into account in the past; this information was retrieved through the methods getIconCenterOffsetX() and getIconCenterOffsetY() available in TLcdAPP6AIcon and TLcdMS2525bIcon. In favor of the new ILcdAnchoredIcon approach, getIconCenterOffsetX() and getIconCenterOffsetY() are no longer available in TLcdAPP6AIcon and TLcdMS2525bIcon. Usage of both methods can easily be replaced by usage of the anchorPointSFCT(Point) method:

      int offsetX = anchoredIcon.getIconCenterOffsetX();
      int offsetY = anchoredIcon.getIconCenterOffsetY();

becomes

      Point anchorPoint = new Point();
      anchoredIcon.anchorPointSFCT( p );
      offsetX = ( anchoredIcon.getWidth() / 2 ) - anchorPoint.x;
      offsetY = ( anchoredIcon.getHeight() / 2 ) - anchorPoint.y;

Upgrade considerationTiling Engine

The fusion engine ALfnEngine is now fully asynchronous. The signature and semantics of its methods have changed to reflect this new paradigm.

A quick way to change existing code is this:

Replace all old occurrences of ALfnEngine.fuse() withALfnEngine.fuse(new MyEmptyFusionHandler()).get(), where MyEmptyFusionHandler has empty implementations for all methods.
Add a catch ExecutionException and get its cause.
Replace old occurrences of ALfnEngine.getProgressNonBlocking() withALfnEngine.getProgress(), which has now become non-blocking.
Reevaluate old occurrences ofALfnEngine.getProgress(). The old behavior was blocking, but the new behavior is non-blocking. In case the blocking behavior is irrelevant for your use case, you can just leave it. In case the blocking behavior is relevant for your use case, for example because you want to wait until the progress has been initialized, replace it with ALfnEngine.getInitialProgress().get() .
The blocking call void fuse() has been replaced with a non-blocking counterpartFuture<?> fuse(ILfnFusionHandler). Instead of receiving the exceptions synchronously, they can now be received either by listening for them on a handler or by inspecting the ExecutionException when blocking for the result withFuture.get().
Replace all old occurrences of ALfnEngine.stop() withFuture.cancel(). This means you need to hold onto the future returned by an earlier call toALfnEngine.fuse(ILfnFusionHandler).

Upgrade considerationTiling Engine

The class ILfnVectorSessionHandler.FailureContext has been made abstract, its constructor has been removed. Users of the API should never instantiate this class. The methods getLevel(), getRow() and getColumn() have been replaced by getTileCoordinates(); the level, row and column information can still be accessed in the returned TLfnTileCoordinates object.

The Fusion protocol now also supports text geometry. Objects with ILcdText geometry can now be fused to vector coverages, and displayed accordingly in Fusion clients. The vector tile data format used by the Fusion protocol has been updated to allow modelling of text geometry; old clients will no longer be able to read data which has been fused with a new Fusion engine supporting text geometry. New Fusion engines can still fuse to the old tile data format, by setting the appropriate codec version number on the coverage metadata.

      protected JTree createTree( int aID, TLcyMapLayerControl aMapLayerControl ) {
      JTree tree = super.createTree( aID, aMapLayerControl );
      if ( aID == LAYER_TREE_COMPONENT__TREE && tree != null ) {
      tree.setRootVisible( true );
      }
      return tree;
      }

Similarly, for 3D one should override TLcyGLMapLayerControlFactory.createTree like this:

      protected JTree createTree( int aID, ALcyProperties aProperties ) {
      JTree tree = super.createTree( aID, aProperties );

Previously for updating an Earth tile you needed to have all data of this tile. However often you an implementation only needs some metadata (ex. a time stamp) to check if there is a new version available. For this purpose an ALcdEarthTile can now return a minimal version of itself. This allows implementing tile updating without keeping the tile data in memory. The existing implementation were updated to support this. In practice this means that the Earth painters require less memory.

LuciadFusion is extended with support for rasterizing vector data into raster coverages. The rasterization relies on a layer factory that should be available for the vector format.

The Fusion Engine provides built-in support for rasterizing the vector data formats Shapefile (SHP), Vector Product Format (VPF), MapInfo (MIF/MAP), GML (Simple Features profile) and ECDIS. Through the API, additional formats can be plugged in.

ImprovementTiling Engine

LuciadFusion now adds support to fuse and and distribute raster data representing values other than image and elevation. For instance, meteorological raster data defining temperature or wind speed. To support this use case, a new 'multivalued' coverage type is introduced. Additionally, support for the GRIB weather data format (V1, V2, bulletins) is added, as a primary use case for the new coverage type.

The Fusion Engine is extended with support for the new coverage type and the GRIB data format.

ImprovementTiling Engine

LuciadFusion is extended with support for vector data, enabling users to use very large vector data sets in applications. By applying tiling and the use of multiple levels of details, LuciadFusion allows to fuse vector data sources into a vector coverage, ready for high performance data streaming, visualization and analysis.

To support the vector data use case, the Fusion Engine introduces new API to fuse vector data. The Fusion Engine factory class, TLfnEngineFactory, has been extended with the capability of creating a vector fusion session, next to a raster fusion session. This makes use of a new package com.luciad.fusion.vector, which contains a number of classes related to vector fusion handling and simplification.

The Fusion Engine supports fusing vector data consisting of points, polylines and polygons. This comes with built-in support to import vector data from Shapefile (SHP), Vector Product Format (VPF), MapInfo (MIF/MAP) and GML (Simple Features profile). Additional formats can be plugged in as well, by providing an ALfnFormat implementation.

The TLfnRasterAssetMetadata has been changed to support more complex assets. Concretely the pixel density property has been moved to the RasterAssetParts. This change allows modeling file formats that can contain data at multiple locations and multiple levels of detail (ex. CADRG TOC file and ECDIS catalog file) as a single asset. Modeling these with a single asset is desired because an asset should conceptually be a logical group of data.

A new icon set is now being used in all of LuciadMap, Lucy, and all Industry Specific and Additional Components. The icons can easily be reverted to the old icons by adding lib/legacy/legacy_icons.jar to the classpath, before luciadmap.jar. Because the icons use a more advanced format now (PNG), and because all icons have now been consolidated in the LuciadMap.jar file, the file paths have been changed. If you are using TLcdGUIIcon or TLcdShapeIcon, you will automatically use the new icons. If you use the old icon filenames in your own code, it will be necessary to change them to the new file names. To make this easier, the file lib/legacy/legacy_icons.jar contains a mapping (icon_mapping.csv) from the old icon names to the newly used icon names.

The sample add-on TableViewAddOn now only registers an ILcyCustomizerPanelFactory capable of creating a table representation of a TLcyModelContext.
The sample add-on TreeTableViewAddOn has been created, which registers an ILcyCustomizerPanelFactory capable of creating a tree table view for a TLcyDomainObjectContext.

In case you use the regular TLcyToteAddOn, you will now need to include the TLcyModelCustomizerAddOn and the TLcyTreeTableViewAddOn as well:

      <addon>

In case your application already contains a customized version of the TableViewAddOn, you should not only remove the TLcyToteAddOn from the addons.xml file, but the TLcyTreeTableViewAddOn and TLcyModelCustomizerAddOn entry as well.

The action which opens the table view has been moved as well from the TLcyToteAddOn to the TLcyModelCustomizerAddOn.

All standard available raster formats in lucy now offer functionality to show the raster based on the map scale of the view (typically used when the scaleAtCenterOfMap properties are false, see the relevant release note below). This behaviour is disabled by default. When the property [raster_format].manualScalesEnabled (CADRGFormat.manualScalesEnabled in 'default_decoders.cfg' for instance) is set to true, the paint style layer customizer for that format will be adapted. Instead of the textfields 'Start resolution factor' and 'Stop resolution factor' a 'Raster scale ranges' panel will be included, with a automatic and manual behaviour. The automatic behaviour shows a raster as an outline when too many raster pixels must be retrieved per screen pixel. The manual behaviour allows you to specify at what scale (when zooming out) a raster should be replaced by its outline, and at what scale (when zooming in) a raster shouldn't be painted anymore. Note that this behaviour only applies when Force painting is disabled. By default the automatic behaviours is active for new layers. Setting the property [raster_format].manualScalesActive to true, activates the manual behaviour for new layers. Some formats, especially CADRG, also allow you to differentiate between rasters in the same layer that should be shown at different scales. You can for instance specify different but consecutive scale ranges for CADRG rasters scanned from 1:5M maps and from 1:2M maps. When more then one type of raster is available, you can also choose to lock on a certain type, ignoring all others.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

When the property DMEDFormat.modelDecoder.checkTilesImmediately (see 'default_decoders.cfg') is true, decoded multilevel dmed rasters will now only include a dmed level if the dmed tile is available and not empty. Previously only missing are empty dt0, dt1 or dt2 files where excluded.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

The DMEDFormat (see 'default_decoders.cfg') can be customized by a additional config property: DMEDFormat.modelDecoder.includeDMEDLevel. This property is true by default. When false the DMED thumbnail will not be added to a DMED multilevel raster. If for instance dt0, dt1 and dt2 levels are available, you will get a multilevel raster with four levels (dmed, dt0, dt1, dt2) when the property is true, and a multilevel raster with three levels (dt0, dt1, dt2) when the property is false.

TLcyAIXM5AddOn, TLcyAIXM51AddOn: These addons now create layers that are configured with a new type of layer style: TLcySLDLayerStyle. This layer style exposes the SLD styling capabilities of AIXM 5.0 and 5.1. To use it, you can simply retrieve the style of an AIXM5 layer with a layer style provider and cast it to a TLcySLDLayerStyle. This class provides the necessary methods to configure the styles for specific feature types.

Users of the 3D capabilities of the AIXM 5.0 and 5.1 add on can also apply this styling to 3D layers, or simply synchronize the style between 2D and 3D.

A new interface for the creation of a layer-based ILcdHeightProvider has been added: ILcdLayerHeightProviderFactory. This interface is similar to the exiting model-based factory: ILcdModelHeightProviderFactory. The difference is that the new interface creates a height provider from a layer and view instead of a model. A layer-based height provider returns heights that are in sync with the layer and view, with the correct level-of-detail for example. Using it often it is likely that the necessary data is cached.

All LuciadMap implementations of ILcdGXYLabelPainter now provide support for parent labels. This means that when a label location specifies an other anchor point, its coordinates are specified relative to this anchor point, see TLcdLabelLocation#getAnchorPoint(). When this method returns false, the anchor point is created like it was before. In order to make sure that TLcdLabelLocation#getAnchorPoint() returns the correct anchor point, code that alters the label locations should set the parent bounds by using TLcdLabelLocation#setParentBounds().

ImprovementLuciadLightspeed

A sample was added to demonstrate the creation and usage of labeling algorithms and labeling algorithm wrappers : labels.createalgorithm. It demonstrates how to create a simple labeling algorithm, how to create a wrapper that rotates the labels, how to create a wrapper that tries more possible placements, and a wrapper that tries to adjust the font size to find a suitable label location.

ImprovementLuciadLightspeed

TLcdLabelLocation now has a few extra methods :

getAnchorPoint() : When this method returns true, the location of this label is defined relative to this anchor point. When this method returns false, the user of the label location should compute an anchor point.
getParentLabel() : When this method returns a non-null object, the label location depends on the returned label. This means that the location of this label is defined with respect to the parent label. When creating or editing a label, one should always make sure that this dependency is respected, and that the location is defined relative to the parent label (getAnchorPoint()). For this it is also necessary to set the bounds of the parent label (setParentBounds()).
getParentBoundsRectangle(), getParentBoundsRotation(), setParentBounds() : When a TLcdLabelLocation has a parent label, the parent bounds should be set before using it.
isBodyLabel() : When this method returns true, it means that this label is used as a representation of its domain object.

TLcdLabelLocations now has a new constructor which takes an ILcdLabelDependencyProvider as argument. When this constructor is used, a parent label is set on the TLcdLabelLocation when calling TLcdLabelLocations#getLabelLocationSFCT(). So the parent dependencies of a label can be specified using the label dependency provider.

This functionality is demonstrated in the labels.offset sample.

Labeling support in Lucy is improved. It is possible to register an ILcyGXYLabelPlacementHintProvider in a format (ALcyFormat#createLabelPlacementHintProvider()). This makes it possible to provide labeling information for each layer :

a labeling algorithm. Specifies the label behavior.
a labeling group. Labels from the layers in a label placement group are placed together, and do not overlap.
a label obstacle provider. This obstacle provider provides obstacles for all layers from the same labeling group.

This new functionality removes the need of setting an ILcdGXYLayerLabelPainter for layers which need different labeling behavior. A different labeling algorithm can be provided instead. This labeling algorithm can also be used with global label decluttering enabled. For example the labeling for the magnetic north addon was improved (this also fixes LUCY-2419).

For more information, see the com.luciad.view.gxy.labeling package, the developer's guide, and the label samples.

ImprovementLuciadLightspeed

Extensive support was added throughout LuciadMap for ILcdDataObject. In particular, the following enhancements were made:

The models of all vector formats (SHP, GML, ISO metadata, database format, MAP, MIF, SVG, POL, Magnetic North, MTM) are now data object enabled. This means that the model elements are ILcdDataObject instances and the model's descriptor is aILcdDataModelDescriptor. Most of these formats also allow direct access to their data model through a public TLcd<format>DataTypes class, for example TLcdSHPDataTypes orTLcdSVGDataTypes. Encoders that can export models from other formats to their own format have been enhanced such that they also accept data object enabled models. Since the model descriptors of these formats now implement ILcdDataModelDescriptor, all elements in these models are required to implement ILcdDataObject. Custom domain objects wrapping any of these model elements will need to implement ILcdDataObject as well, if they are contained in a model with a model descriptor of any of these formats.
TLcdGXYDataObjectLabelPainter, TLcdGXYDataObjectPolylineLabelPainter and TLcdGXYDataObjectPolygonLabelPainter support painting of labels for data object enabled models. These label painters can be easily configured using a data object expression language (more information on this can be found in the javadoc ofALcdDataObjectExpressionLanguage)).
The class TLcdDataObjectShapeList is introduced as an implementation of both ILcdShapeList and ILcdDataObject.
A number of new annotations are added to describe additional properties of the data model. The TLcdPrimaryKeyAnnotation can be added to a type (typically in the context of a database) to indicate what its primary key property is.

A new concept has been introduced to make it easier to retrieve a useful time slice from an AIXM feature. Quite often, application developers are confronted with the problem of having to determine a suitable time slice for the visualization of features or properties of features. The new ILcdTimeSliceProvider interface can be used to encapsulate such a strategy that can be used throughout the application.

To make the provider accessible at places where it is needed, two options are provided:

A default time slice provider can be set on an AIXM 5.0 or 5.1 feature. This provider can be requested from the feature whenever it is needed.
A time slice provider can be passed onto the objects that need it; for instance, all AIXM painters and XPath factories can now be configured with a time slice provider. When set, these time slice providers have precedence over the default time slice providers on the features.

Two implementations are available that implement the currently most common strategies. The first one returns one of the time slices in the list of time slices in the feature - normally this will be a baseline time slice, assuming that it is available. The second one can be configured with a date, and will return a snapshot time slice valid for that date, or no time slice if the feature does not have valid time slices for that date.

TLcdAIXM5AbstractAIXMTimeSlice and TLcdAIXM51AbstractAIXMTimeSlice now implement the ILcdTimeBounded interface.

The TLcdAIXM5ModelDecoder and TLcdAIXM51ModelDecoder now automatically merge features and sort timeslices when decoding a message.

This behavior can be manually controlled with the new setAutoSortTimeslices(boolean) and setAutoMergeFeatures(boolean) methods available on the model decoders.

Additionally, both the TLcdMS2525bModelDescriptor and the TLcdAPP6AModelDescriptor now implement the ILcdDataModelDescriptor interface.

Since the MIL-STD 2525b/c and APP-6A/B model descriptors now implement ILcdDataModelDescriptor, all elements in such models are required to implement ILcdDataObject. Custom domain objects wrapping the existing MIL-STD 2525b/c and APP-6A/B domain objects will therefore need to implement ILcdDataObject as well, if they are contained in a model with a MIL-STD 2525b/c or APP-6A/B model descriptor.

ELcdGML32NilReasonEnumeration and ELcdGML32TimeUnit have been renamed to use a TLcd prefix and are now also regular classes instead of enumerations. These new classes correspond better with the types that are defined in the GML schema, and the API that uses these types is now also clearer.

Existing users of these classes can simply use the new ones: TLcdGML32NilReasonEnumeration and TLcdGML32TimeUnit. A method is also available that allows retrieving a constant based on a String and allows iterating over all known values. The change also applies to the corresponding classes in GML 3.1.

In most cases, this change results in a compilation error. However, this is not the case when the NilReasonEnumeration type is used as part of another union and/or choice. An example of this are for instance the nilReason and envelopeOrNull properties on TLcdGML32BoundedShape. The type of these properties is Object.class because they are a union/choice between TLcdGML32NilReasonEnumeration and another class (URI/Envelope). As such, no compilation errors are generated when a String value would be assigned to these properties. However, exceptions may occur at run-time because the property should not contain a String object.

In XML, a number of providers (TLcdXMLSchemaBasedMarshallerProvider, TLcdXMLSchemaBasedUnmarshallerProvider, TLcdXMLTypeMarshallerProvider, TLcdXMLTypeUnmarshallerProvider, TLcdXMLTypeObjectFactoryProvider, TLcdXMLMarshallerProvider and TLcdXMLUnmarshallerProvider) have a type unsafe API. These providers have public methods that return an object with a type parameter that is only used in the return value. As a result, the Java compiler's type inference allows callers to specify the type. This is incorrect and can lead to type unsafe code (this is code that compiles correctly but yields ClassCastExceptions at run-time). This unsafe API has been changed to use a wild-card type parameter as return type. This change may result in compilation errors. For type-safe code, these compilation errors can be easily fixed by using appropriate type parameters.

Take the example ofILcdXMLUnmarshaller. This class has a method public <U, T extends U> ILcdXMLUnmarshaller<T> getUnmarshaller( QName aName, Class<U> aJavaClass ). This signature of this method is changed to public <U> ILcdXMLUnmarshaller<? extends U> getUnmarshaller( QName aName, Class<U> aJavaClass ). Because of this change, the following code no longer compiles, ILcdXMLUnmarshaller<X> m = provider.getUnmarshaller( ..., X.class ); and should be replaced by ILcdXMLUnmarshaller<? extends X> m = provider.getUnmarshaller( ..., X.class );

The old behavior can be accomplished easily by wrapping the TLcdDatabaseModelDecoder and manually replacing the reference of the decoded model with your model reference of choice (cast to ALcdModel and use setModelReference).

ILcdGXYEditableLabelsLayer now defines two new applyOnInteract() methods which take a paint mode as argument. One of these methods can be used to query domain objects, the other method can be used to query labels. These methods encapsulate the logic used to decide which objects and labels are painted by the layer. Hence, they take into account the labeled, scaleRange and labelScaleRange properties. For TLcdGXYLayer, the methods also use the selectionLabeled and filter properties for example. So these methods remove the need to do these checks externally, improving the encapsulation of the paint/applyOnInteract behavior of the layer.

To see how these methods can be used to adjust the label painting behavior, see the labels.offset sample. In this sample, a distinction is made between labels representing bodies, and text labels. 'Body labels' are painted together with the bodies, and 'text labels' are painted on top later.

This incompatible change impacts all user implementations of ILcdGXYEditableLabelsLayer. In that case a compile error is triggered. This compile error can be solved by implementing the two methods. For wrappers, the methods can be implemented by delegating to the wrapped ILcdGXYEditableLabelsLayer. For other implementations, ILcdGXYLayer#applyOnInteract() can be reused. However the implementation should take into account all settings that could modify the painting behavior.

TLcdComplexPolygon no longer extends TLcdShapeList or implements ILcdShapeList, since this extension was semantically not sound. Although it was occasionally convenient, it was often causing unexpected behavior, for instance when performing a series of instanceof tests. For backward compatibility, the typical TLcdShapeList methods are still available in TLcdComplexPolygon, but code that used to treat TLcdComplexPolygon as an ILcdShapeList will no longer function properly. Notably:

Assigning a TLcdComplexPolygon to an ILcdShapeList (local variable, argument, or field) will fail at compile-time.
Casting a TLcdComplexPolygon to an ILcdShapeList will fail at run-time (with a ClassCastException).
Performing an instanceof test of a TLcdComplexPolygon with ILcdShapeList will now return false at run-time.

A possible symptom may be that complex polygons are not appearing in a view, because shape list painters and editors no longer work. The simple solution is to use complex polygon painters (like TLcdGXYPointListPainter) instead, which paints polygons correctly (taking into account any holes, unlike the shape list painters).

Another symptom may be that complex polygons are not being encoded in a custom encoder, because they are no longer recognized. The encoder should then be adapted to iterate over the contained polygons instead of over the contained shapes.

Two new methods were added to the ILcdDataObject interface:

      boolean hasValue( TLcdDataProperty aProperty );

      boolean hasValue( String aPropertyName );

These methods return true if a value is set for the specified property, false otherwise. They allow to test whether a multivalued property has a value, without triggering the creation of the Collection instance holding the values of that property (in case the collection would be empty and getValue() would lazily the collection). Classes that implement ILcdDataObject and do not inherit their ILcdDataObject implementation from a LuciadMap API class will no longer compile and need to be updated. The following code snippet provides a default implementation for these methods that is sufficient for most applications:

      public boolean hasValue(TLcdDataProperty aProperty ) {
      Object value = getValue( aProperty );
      if ( value != null ) {
      TLcdDataProperty.CollectionType collectionType = aProperty.getCollectionType();
      if ( collectionType != null ) {
      switch ( collectionType ) {
      case LIST:
      case SET:
      return ( ( Collection ) value ).size() > 0;
      case MAP:
      return ( ( Map ) value ).size() > 0;
      }
      }
      // Single-valued.
      return true;
      }
      // No value set.
      return false;
      }

      public boolean hasValue( String aPropertyName ) {
      return hasValue(getDataType().getProperty( aPropertyName ));
      }

Only in cases where the data objects contain a large number of multivalued properties of which many are empty, a more optimized implementation that does not delegate to getValue() should be considered.

ALcdLabelLocations has been modified to provide better support for the tracking of changes in the painted status of TLcdLabelLocation objects. Two methods were adjusted to have an extra argument denoting a fire event mode : setPainted() and clearAllPainted(). Classes extending ALcdLabelLocations should be adjusted to implement these abstract methods. The implementations of these methods can be facilitated by using TLcdLabelLocationEventSupport.

Three extra abstract methods were added : fireCollectedLabelPaintedChanges(), addLabelPaintedListener() and removeLabelPaintedListener(). TLcdLabelLocationEventSupport can also be used to implement these methods.

When setPainted() of clearAllPainted() is called by user code, a compile error will be shown. The fix is to add one of the following three modes as extra argument : ILcdFireEventMode.FIRE_NOW, ILcdFireEventMode.FIRE_LATER. Also note that when ILcdFireEventMode.FIRE_LATER is passed to these methods, fireCollectedPaintedChanges() should be called later.

Now, the default model reference will only be used when no model reference can be created based on the properties file or database table.

If all the database rasters matching the ogr file or Properties object have the same geographic reference, then the TLcdOracleGeorasterModelDecoder returns an ILcd2DBoundsIndexedModel, as before. However, if the rasters matching the ogr file or Properties object have different geographic references, then the model decoder returns an ILcdModelTreeNode. The ILcdModelTreeNode contains several ILcd2DBoundsIndexedModel sub-models, one for each encountered geographic reference. Previously, the rasters that had a different reference than the first one retrieved were discarded and a warning message was logged.

The GDF data model now supports the unified generic model; all domain classes now implement the ILcdDataObject interface, the GDF model descriptors now implement ILcdDataModelDescriptor. To support the unified generic model, the ILcdGDFFeature interface has been modified to extend the ILcdDataObject interface. Classes implementing ILcdGDFFeature should be modified to implement the methods of ILcdDataObject. Wrappers around GDF domain classes can simply delegate these methods to the corresponding methods in the wrapped class. Since the GDF model descriptor now implements ILcdDataModelDescriptor, all elements in GDF models are required to implement ILcdDataObject. Custom domain objects wrapping GDF model elements will need to implement ILcdDataObject as well, if they are contained in a model with an GDF model descriptor.

All AIXM 5.1 methods that represent a value with a unit of measure, such as TLcdAIXM51ValDepth, now have better accessors for the nilReason and the uom attributes. Both of these attributes can no longer be set as a String but require an instance of a specific class. This makes the api more usable.

Existing users of these accessors that use String instances can simply use the constructors that are available on the new types (TLcdGML32NilReasonEnumeration and TLcdAIXM51Uom*) to create an instance that corresponds to the String. The new types also have predefined constants that correspond to well known values.

Upgrade considerationAviation Standards

Getters and setters for the 'nilReason' attribute that occurs on various types have been adapted to be compatible with the classes of the actual values of this attribute. Getters and setters that used to work with a String now use a TLcdGML32NilReasonAnnotation or an Object. In case of an Object, the methods support both instances of URI and TLcdGML32NilReasonAnnotation.

Existing uses of these methods that worked with a String should convert the String to either a URI or a TLcdGML32NilReasonEnumeration when using the setter. For the getter, both of these types can easily be converted to a String if required.

Upgrade considerationAviation Standards

The methods getDataObjectFactory() and setDataObjectFactory(TLcdAISDataObjectFactory) have been added to ILcdDAFIFDecoder. These methods allow the decoder to create domain objects that properly implement ILcdDataObject.

The names of the AIXM 5.1 enumeration model classes representing units of measure have the 'Type' suffix in their names dropped, and they now have a TLcd prefix. For instance, the ELcdAIXM51UomDepthType class has been renamed as such to TLcdAIXM51UomDepth. This is more consistent with their names in AIXM 5.0.

These classes have also been changed from enumerations to regular classes. This results in a better correspondence with the AIXM 5.1 schema, and makes other API that uses these classes more usable. A method is available to retrieve all known values for a given type.

This change will result in compile time errors for code that uses one of classes listed below. These errors can be easily solved by also removing the 'Type' suffix. All uses of the following class names should be replaced with the new names:

ELcdAIXM51UomTemperatureType
ELcdAIXM51UomDepthType
ELcdAIXM51UomDistanceType
ELcdAIXM51UomDistanceVerticalType
ELcdAIXM51UomDurationType

The 'name' and 'description' properties of time slices in the AIXM 5.0 and 5.1 domain model now use a prefix that no longer contains 'TimeSlice', to make them more readable and convenient to use. This means that both property constants and getters and setters for these properties now have a slightly different name.

Resulting compilation problems can be fixed easily by removing 'TimeSlice' from the affected methods or property names. For instance, TLcdAIXM51AirportHeliportTimeSlice#getAirportHeliportTimeSliceName() will need to be changed to getAirportHeliportName(). Also the corresponding constant AIRPORT_HELIPORT_TIMESLICE_NAME_PROPERTY will need to be changed to AIRPORT_HELIPORT_NAME_PROPERTY.

This improvement will improve the readability of your code because these method names are now a bit shorter, and it will avoid possible confusion as the previous naming might have suggested that it was the name or description of the time slice instead of the name or description of the actual feature itself.

Upgrade considerationAviation Standards

New time slice classes have been added to the AIXM 5.0 and 5.1 domain model, making it easier to access properties that are common between related time slice types (e.g., a runway marking and a taxiway marking). The new classes correspond to abstract feature types (e.g., a marking) that do not have a corresponding time slice type in the AIXM schemas (e.g., a marking).

This is the list of added classes for AIXM 5.0; corresponding classes for 5.1 are also added:

TLcdAIXM5AbstractMarkingTimeSlice
TLcdAIXM5AbstractSegmentLegTimeSlice
TLcdAIXM5AbstractServiceTimeSlice
TLcdAIXM5AbstractTrafficSeparationServiceTimeSlice
TLcdAIXM5AbstractAirportGroundServiceTimeSlice
TLcdAIXM5AbstractAirportHeliportProtectionAreaTimeSlice
TLcdAIXM5AbstractApproachLegTimeSlice
TLcdAIXM5AbstractGroundLightSystemTimeSlice
TLcdAIXM5AbstractNavaidEquipmentTimeSlice
TLcdAIXM5AbstractNavigationSystemCheckpointTimeSlice
TLcdAIXM5AbstractProcedureTimeSlice
TLcdAIXM5AbstractRadarEquipmentTimeSlice
TLcdAIXM5AbstractSurveillanceRadarTimeSlice

These classes are now also used in various getters and setters in the domain model. Existing code that uses these methods might experience compilation problems that can easily be fixed by using the correct type.

Some of these classes also declare a 'name' and/or a 'description' property that used to be declared on the subclasses with a class specific prefix. Due to the introduction of these super classes, the prefix has changed. Resulting compilation problems can be fixed easily by simply changing the used method or constant. For instance, a call to TLcdAIXM51InformationService#getInformationServiceTimeSliceName() will need to be changed to getServiceName(). Also the corresponding constant TLcdAIXM51InformationService#INFORMATION_SERVICE_TIMESLICE_NAME_PROPERTY will need to be changed to SERVICE_NAME_PROPERTY.

Accessors on AIXM 5.0 and AIXM 5.1 model classes for properties that map on choices in the AIXM 5.0 and 5.1 XML schema are now uniform with other accessors for association class properties. This means that they hide the association class and directly expose the object the association points to.

The following methods are affected in AIXM 5.0. In AIXM 5.1, the same methods are affected, but note that small (name) differences can occur because of changes in the schema.

Support soft caching of the tiles
Support updating tiles on demand

The 3D terrain painter was also updated to:

Automatically add the necessary tile set wrappers for combining image and elevation tiles into terrain tiles. As a result it is now advised to no longer add these yourself. You should for example use TLcdEarthRepositoryModelDecoder instead of the TLcdEarthTerrainRepositoryModelDecoder.

The ILcdEarthModelDecoderFactory interface was changed to allow configuration of the created model decoders. More specifically an extra java.util.Map parameter was added to its createModelDecoder method.

Previously it was not possible to configure the created model decoder. As a result you could not use a single factory, but instead had to create one for each specific use case. Another drawback was that the creator had to know what configuration was optimal for each use case. By adding an extra configuration parameter, the user of the model decoder can specify what configuration is optimal in his use case. This is similar as the ILcdModelHeightProviderFactory.

As a result of this change you may get some compile errors. In most cases you can fix these by using null or an empty map as the value for the new parameter.

The representation of a set of tactical symbols in APP-6A/B and MIL-STD 2525b/c have been corrected, following the latest version of the standards.

The following set of symbols have an updated number of points and/or point order:

Relief In Place (APP-6A/B 2.X.1.1.18, MIL-STD 2525b/c 2.X.1.18) uses 4 points to define the polyline, instead of 3.
Support By Fire Position (APP-6A/B 2.X.2.1.5.3.4, MIL-STD 2525b/c 2.X.2.5.3.4) uses point 1 and 2 to define the straight line, and point 3 and 4 to define the tips of the arrowheads.

The method ALcdGXYPen#getHotPointSize used to return the maximum of the width and height of an icon set as HotPointIcon. Now it returns the maximum divided by two. Since this property is used as a sensitivity to evaluate whether or not a the representation of an object is touched by a certain pixel, all handles used to have an sensitive region twice as big as the icon representing the handle. Now the region is exactly as big as the icon. For small icons/handles, this might make it more difficult to select or edit them. However it is now possible to increase the sensitivity for interaction directly by passing it in the ILcdGXYContext (see ILcdGXYContext#getSensitivity). This is for instance used by the select and edit controller models (See TLcdGXYEditControllerModel2#setSensitivity for example).

Extend TLcdGXYContext for custom implementations or extend ALcdGXYContextWrapper to create a wrapper for a ILcdGXYContext. These classed will always be kept consistent with the interface.

The getPaintExceptionHandler() method was added to ILcdGXYView to improve the painting exception handling. All our ILcdGXYView implementations now also contain a setPaintExceptionHandler() method. When a painter throws an exception during painting, and it is caught somewhere, it is up to the exception handler returned by the view to handle this exception. This makes it possible for example to log the exception, and continue painting, but it also makes it possible to add fail-fast behavior, i.e. to pass the exception to the outer application.

The addition of the getPaintExceptionHandler() to ILcdGXYView affects all custom implementations of ILcdGXYView. It also affects classes that wrap an ILcdGXYView. In both cases a compile error is generated. In the former case the getPaintExceptionHandler() method needs to be implemented, see example code below, in the latter case the getPaintExceptionHandler() can delegate to the wrapped ILcdGXYView.

      public class CustomGXYView implements ILcdGXYView {

      // Create a default paint exception handler, getPaintExceptionHandler() should never return

An extra exception parameter was added to the tileNotAvailable method in the ILcdEarthTileSetCallback interface.

Previously this method only had a String parameter to indicate the reason why the tile is not available. As a result the call back could not easily distinguish the case where a tile was not available because it did not exist or because an error occurred. This also resulted in considerably more difficult debugging if an exception occurred during tile production as its stack trace was not readily available in the tile consumer.

As a result of this change any implementations of the ILcdEarthTileSetCallback interface will need to be updated. In most cases this only requires a small effort:

Delegate to another call back: this is typically the case if the call back is part of an ILcdEarthTileSet implementation that delegates to another tile set such as an implementation of ALcdEarthTileSetWrapper.
Handle the exception: this is typically the case if the call back is part of a tile consumer such as a painter for ILcdEarthTileSets.

ALcyDefaultAddOn and ILcyAddOnDecoder have been deprecated and it is suggested to extend ALcyAddOn directly.

As a result, all add-ons extending ALcyDefaultAddOn now extend ALcyAddOn. This will only affect code which casted such an add-on to ALcyDefaultAddOn or to ILcyAddOnDecoder, e.g.

      ALcyDefaultAddOn addOn = new TLcySelectionEditorAddOn();

or

      ILcyAddOnDecoder addOn = new TLcySelectionEditorAddOn();

Such calls will result in a compile error and can easily be fixed by replacing ALcyDefaultAddOn with ALcyAddOn.

Add-ons on which the decodeAddOn or canDecodeAddOn method of ILcyAddOnDecoder is called will also generate a compile error. Such calls

      ALcyDefaultAddOn addOn = new TLcySelectionEditorAddOn();
      // or ILcyAddOnDecoder addOn = new TLcySelectionEditorAddOn();
      if ( addOn.canDecodeAddOn( aConfigurationSourceName ) ){

      }

can be replaced with

      ALcyAddOn addOn = new TLcySelectionEditorAddOn();
      addOn.setConfigSourceName( aConfigurationSourceName );

Converting an existing add-on to extend ALcyAddOn instead of ALcyDefaultAddOn can easily be achieved by moving the code in decodeAddOn( String aConfigSourceName ) to the plugInto method. The configuration source name can be retrieved by calling ALcyAddOn#getConfigSourceName().

The model classes for GML version 3.2 no longer implement ILcdFeatured. The model classes for GML version 2 and version 3.1 still implement ILcdFeatured. The generic view provided by ILcdFeatured of these model classes is largely the same as it was in version 9. Only properties that are the result from mapping an xsd:choice or a xsd:union are different. The section on the XML format in the LuciadMap developer's guide provides more details on this.

Upgrade considerationOGC Server

The metadata API that was available in com.luciad.metadata has been replaced with an improved implementation in com.luciad.format.metadata. Related to this change, the old metadata interfaces that were implemented by some OWS domain model classes have been removed from these classes.

The change will have no or very little impact on existing implementations as the affected classes are mostly used internally. Methods that were available on these interfaces can still be found in the OWS domain model.

Upgrade considerationOGC Server

The ILcdWFSFeatureType interface has been extended with two methods to indicate that the type supports transactions and/or locking. Most existing implementations will want to return false for these methods, which is also the case for implementations that use the TLcdWFSFeatureType class.

The getModelObjectFactory() method of ILcdWFSFeatureType has been removed. The ILcdDataObject interface is now used to create new instances for specific feature types. This means that servers that wish to support transactions are required to use ILcdDataObject enabled models. Existing transactional WFS implementations should take this into consideration before upgrading.

Upgrade considerationOGC Server

The ILcdDataObject interface is now used throughout the WFS if it is available, but it is only required for servers that wish to support transactions. It is recommended to use data formats that support ILcdDataObject with the WFS. For backwards compatibility, ILcdFeature objects can also be supported, but this might disable some of the features that are available to ILcdDataObject based types.

The WFS requires that each ILcdWFSFeatureType corresponds with at most one TLcdDataType. This means that if the elements of an ILcdModel returned by an ILcdOGCModelProvider implement ILcdDataObject, the TLcdDataType of these data objects should be the same for all elements.

All painters in the com.luciad.format.aixm5.view.gxy.painter package have been moved to the com.luciad.format.aixm5.view.gxy package.

The classes TLcdAIXM5DecoderLibrary, TLcdAIXM5EncoderLibrary and TLcdAIXM5MappingLibrary from the com.luciad.format.aixm5.xml package have been removed, as they are no longer needed with the new implementation.

Upgrade considerationAviation Standards

The AIXM 5 domain model defined in the com.luciad.format.aixm5.model package has been upgraded and now provides an API for the complete domain model of AIXM 5.0. As a result, the existing model classes (TLcdAIXM5AbstractAIXMFeature, TLcdAIXM5AbstractAIXMMessage and TLcdAIXM5AbstractAIXMTimeSlice) changed incompatibly.

The domain classes now implement ILcdDataObject; ILcdFeatured is no longer implemented.
The domain classes are now much less dependent on XML. XML element names for instance no longer have to be filled in. As a result, the TLcdAIXM5Constants class is no longer need and has been removed from the API.
The model descriptor is no longer an ILcdFeaturedDescriptorProvider.

Please refer to the developer guide for more information about the AIXM 5 domain model classes.

Upgrade considerationMaritime Standards

The ILcdS52Symbology interface now extends the Cloneable interface and has an additional clone() method. Cloning an existing symbology instead of decoding a new one allows to reuse the immutable part of the symbology's internal state (lookup tables, icon tables, color tables, ...), resulting in better performance and lower memory usage. A valid clone() method should be added to all custom implementations of this interface.

TLcyMapAddOn - TLcyGXYLayerOrderManager: several fixes have been made to the default ILcyGXYLayerOrderManager of the TLcyMapAddOn when the TLcyMapAddOn.independentOrderTreeLayeredSupport property is changed to true. The behaviour of the ILcdGXYLayerOrderManager has remained unchanged for the default value of this property (=false). Those fixes are listed below:

In certain situations it used to be possible that an ILcdLayeredListener received a move event before the add event when a layer was added directly to the ILcdGXYView. For example the asynchronous paint addon and the height provider would throw exceptions.
It is no longer possible to move an empty ILcdLayerTreeNode between the realtime layers.
Empty ILcdLayerTreeNodes are now always inserted at the bottom of the view and no longer between real time layers at the top of the view.
It is now possible to insert an ILcdLayerTreeNode containing realtime layers directly into the view. It is no longer needed to go through ILcyGXYLayerOrderManager#insertGXYLayer.
Using ILcyGXYLayerOrderManager#insertGXYLayer with a certain layer and model content type now respects those types.

Copying layers from one map to another will now add the layers to the new map in the order that they were in the old map, instead of in the order the layers were read from the GUI component in which they were selected.

The appearance of the bounds in the Map Overview has been enhanced. The bounds of the Active Map are in the original light blue, but the other ones are grey. You can modify these colors by changing the properties TLcyMapOverviewAddOn.boundsColors.* in 'mapoverview_addon.cfg'. For the bounds of 3D Maps, the appearance is controlled by the properties similar properties ( TLcyMapOverviewOpenGLAddOn.boundsColors.*) in 'TLcMapOverviewOpenGLAddOn.cfg'. Note that these keys have changed since 9.1. The line width property has been removed as well to make it more consistent with the TLcyMapOverviewAddOn. A related enhanced is that, when changing the active map, the overview now immediately centers on it.

ILcyMapComponent - TLcyMapComponent: Due to the introduction of ILcyGenericMapComponent, the get*ContentPane methods have been deprecated. Use the get*Panel methods instead. This allows to use the same methods for both 2D and 3D map components. TLcyMapComponent now also has consistent getters and setters (e.g. setNorthPanel and getNorthPanel instead of getNorthContentPane and setNorhtPanel).

When dragging layers from one map to the other, they are now copied instead of reused; the layer style is copied using a ILcyLayerStyleProvider. As a result, the layer properties such as 'visible' now behave independently on both maps, and layers with asynchronous painting or interactive labels are now better supported.

The asset model used to create a repository is now saved with the repository. These assets can for example be used to determine in which regions a repository has data. To open a repository with this data you can use the TLcdEarthRepositoryModelDecoder, to create one you can use the TLcdEarthTileRepositoryFactory. The preprocessor sample demonstrates its usage. The TLcdEarthTerrainRepositoryModelDecoder also loads the asset information if it is available and make it available through an ILcdEarthAssetBasedModelDescriptor.

The 'preventClosingLastMap' config property in the 'map_addons.cfg' file has been set to false. The new property 'preventClosingLastMap' in 'TLcyGenericMapAddon.cfg' takes over, and makes sure that 3D maps are treated in the same way as 2D Maps. Note that when they are both set to true, inconsistent behaviour can emerge. Closing the last but one 2D map when there are still 3D maps will make it impossible to close the remaining 2D map for example.

The elevation data can now be stored instead of the geometry when preprocessing a terrain. This results in a significantly smaller repository at the cost of a small performance penalty when visualizing it in a 3D view. The new classes in the API related to this are: TLcdEarthElevationDataTileDataCodec and TLcdEarthElevationDataCombiner. The TLcdEarthTexturedTerrainTileSet, TLcdEarthTerrainRepositoryModelDecoder and preprocessor sample were also updated to support this improvement.

ALcdWMSProxy: added a getter boolean isInvertXYForEPSG4326() and setter setInvertXYForEPSG4326( boolean aInvertXYForEPSG4326 ). This has to be used by implementations of this class to determine whether the bounding box coordinates for WMS version 1.3.0 and reference EPSG:4326 should be specified as x=lon and y=lat which is the default, or x=lat and y=lon which is inverted.

For WMS version 1.1.1, the order is defined as x=lon, y=lat. In version 1.3.0 it was decided that the order should be consistent with the order defined in the EPSG:4326 reference which is lat/lon. Consequently, some WMS 1.3.0 servers have changed their interpretation of EPSG:4326 coordinates, while others sticked to the old (WMS 1.1.1) interpretation.

The WMS client API has been extended with new functionality to connect with a WMS service:

A new class TLcdWMSClient has been introduced that facilitates direct communication with a WMS service, by offering functionality to create and send custom requests, and interpreting their result.
Requests are modeled by the existing interface ILcdOWSRequest, of which default implementations exist to represent the existing WMS requests: TLcdWMSGetCapabilitiesRequest, TLcdWMSGetFeatureInfoRequest, TLcdWMSGetMapRequest, TLcdWMSDescribeLayerRequest and TLcdWMSGetLegendGraphicRequest.
The result of a GetCapabilities request is an ALcdOGCWMSCapabilities instance. The result of the other requests is modeled by a TLcdOWSInputStream. This existing class is an extension of InputStream with the addition of a content type property and some metadata.
To allow control over the communication platform used to connect with a service, the interface ILcdOWSTransport can be used. This interface is used by TLcdWMSClient for its communication. A default implementation TLcdOWSHttpTransport exists with support for the HTTP protocol.

The existing API, consisting of a TLcdOGCWMSProxyModelDecoder to create an ALcdWMSProxy object for a given WMS URL, has been adapted to use the new TLcdWMSClient class.

An option can now be specified in the WMS servlet configuration file (web.xml) to invert the bounding box coordinates in case the request version is 1.3.0 and the reference is EPSG:4326. If these conditions hold, and the option is set, the x coordinates will be interpreted as latitudes and the y coordinates as longitudes.

For WMS version 1.1.1, the order is defined as x=lon, y=lat. In version 1.3.0 it was decided that the order should be consistent with the order defined in the EPSG:4326 reference which is lat/lon. Consequently, some WMS 1.3.0 servers have changed their interpretation of EPSG:4326 coordinates, while others sticked to the old (WMS 1.1.1) interpretation.

Use the configuration option if you want to comply with the WMS 1.3.0 specification. Do note that the EPSG:4326 reference is officially deprecated, so the problem can be circumvented by not supporting this reference.

Add the following to your WMS web.xml file to enable inversion:

      <init-param>

The TLcdWMSLayer class that extends this abstract class also has corresponding setter methods for these parameters. If set, these parameters will also be encoded in the server capabilities, and the server will take them into account when validating an incoming GetMap request.

Description

The old 3D add-on (TLcyG4JAddOn) has been removed by default, in favor of the new TLcyGLMapAddOn. Note that the new 3D add-on requires the Earth add-on (and hence the Earth specialized package of LuciadMap) for displaying for example terrain data. If you don't have the Earth specialized package, it might therefore be best to keep on using the old 3D add-on.

Re-enabling the TLcyG4JAddOn

To re-enable the old one, remove the new GL map-addon from your addons.xml file and add the following section:

      <!--This add-on cannot be combined with TLcyGLMapAddOn -->
      <addon>
      <name>3D</name>
      <class>com.luciad.lucy.addons.g4j.TLcyG4JAddOn</class>

      <luciadMapOptions>3D</luciadMapOptions>
      </addon>

The active settable activating the Earth terrain wizard has been removed by default since it only works with the TLcyG4JAddOn. This active settable can be reactivated by changing the "TLcyEarthAddOn.newEarthTerrainAction.menuBar.insert" property in the earth_addon.cfg file to true.

Updating your code to be independent of TLcyG4JAddOn

If you relied on the TLcyG4JAddOn with the following construct:

      addon = lucyEnv.retrieveAddon( TLcyG4JAddOn.class );
      if ( addon != null ) {
      ...
      }

You can replace this for the following usages:

adding an ILcdGLLayerFactory can be done using ILcyLucyEnv#addService, instead of TLcyG4JAddOn#addLayerFactory. This is required for thenew add-on, and also works with the old add-on.
accessing the ILcdGLView's can be done using ILcyLucyEnv#getService(TLcyGLMapManager.class). This only works when using the new add-on. For the old add-on, you can still use TLcyG4JAddOn directly.

TLcyLayerControlAddOn: this add-on requires that the map add-on does not automatically insert its layer control. You can ensure this by adding the line "mapLayerControl.insert=false" to your map add-on configuration file. Note that this flag is not used by the TLcyMapOverviewAddon.

For restoring the old behavior, remove the TLcyLayerControlAddOn entry from the addons.xml file and set the "mapLayerControl.insert" property to true in the map_addon_layer_control.cfg file.

If you have overridden one of the affected methods it will result in a compile error. Replace the ILcyMapComponent parameters with ILcyGenericMapComponent instances.

ILcdLayerTreeNode: the methods addHierarchySelectionListener and removeHierarchySelectionListener have been added to the interface.

The impact of this change should be minimal. Only nodes which directly implement this interface will result in compile errors. Notice that the support class to create such nodes (TLcdLayerTreeNodeSupport) has been adjusted. Implementations could delegate the call for these extra methods to the support class.

ILcdView: the autoUpdate property has been moved from ILcdGXYView and ILcdGLView to ILcdView, and methods are added to add or remove a PropertyChangeListener to the view.

The behavior of the standard views has been slightly modified with respect to the autoUpdate property: when switching the property from false to true, a repaint of the view is triggered, which was not the case in earlier versions. Also, all our ILcdView implementations now fire a PropertyChangeEvent when altering the autoUpdate property.

The impact of this change should be minimal. The added methods were actually moved from ILcdGXYView and ILcdGLView, so all existing views implementing these interfaces can remain unchanged. Views implementing ILcdView directly will cause a compile error.

Simply casting your argument to ILcdGXYPainter or ILcdGXYLabelPainter will solve these errors.

The SwingX library, used by the TOTE addon and the TableView sample, has been upgraded from version 0.8 to version 1.0. Some classes have been removed between version 0.8 and version 1.0, leading to the following changes.

The class HighlighterPipeline has been removed. For the alternate row highlighting in the table we have replaced

table.setHighlighters( new HighlighterPipeline( new Highlighter[]{ new
          AlternateRowHighlighter() } ) );

by

table.setHighlighters( HighlighterFactory.createAlternateStriping( ));

The extension of JXTable, MyJXTable, no longer needs a mouse listener to determine whether the sort operation may be applied or not (the sort operation was not applied on the column with the visibility checkbox). It is now possible to set the sortable property on individual columns. This is achieved as follows:
```
          //avoid that clicking on the checkbox column header would trigger a sort operation
          fTable.getColumnExt( DisplayColumnTableModelDecorator.DISPLAY_COLUMN_INDEX ).setSortable(
          false );
        
```

The method getSorter( int aColumnIndex) no longer exists on a JXTable. Instead one can retrieve a SortOrder object containing all the necessary information. The codec, which stored and restored the sorted columns, now uses this SortOrder, e.g. in the encoding step

          Sorter sorter = table.getSorter( i );
          if ( sorter != null ) {
          sorted_columns.add( table.getModel().getColumnName( table.convertColumnIndexToModel( i ) )
          );
          sorted_columns_order.add( sorter.isAscending() ? SORT_ASCENDING : SORT_DESCENDING );
          }

has been replaced by

          SortOrder sortOrder = table.getSortOrder( i );
          if ( sortOrder != null && sortOrder.isSorted() ){
          sorted_columns.add( table.getModel().getColumnName( table.convertColumnIndexToModel( i ) )
          );
          sorted_columns_order.add( sortOrder.isAscending() ? SORT_ASCENDING : SORT_DESCENDING );
          }

A similar change has been made to the decoding step.

AbstractTreeTableModel no longer has methods to fire events. Instead it has a protected TreeModelSupport instance which is a support for change notification. All calls to the fire* methods in TreeTableFeaturedModel have been replaced by calls to modelSupport.fire* .
DefaultTreeTableModel no longer has a field askAllowsChildren, and the corresponding constructor has also been removed.
TreeTableDefaultMutableNode now extends AbstractMutableTreeTableNode in order to work with the DefaultTreeTableModel.

The following QName constants are no longer available in TLcdAIXM5Constants.AIXM5.Name: codeSpace_unqual, id_unqual, uuid_unqual and uuidref_unqual.

Uses of these QName constants should be replaced with local constants representing these names. They can simply be created for instance like 'new QName("codeSpace")'.

The lcd_aixm_schema_resources.jar has been renamed to lcd_aixm_resources.jar. Applications that depend on this jar should update their classpath accordingly. In addition, the schemas inside that jar are now in a 5.0 folder (to prepare for the upcoming 5.1 version). Applications that rely on the location of these schemas in the classpath to get hold of the schema should update the path to these schemas (for instance replace someClass.getResource( "AIXM_features.xsd" ) by someClass.getResource( "5.0/AIXM_features.xsd" ) ).

Introduction of the class TLcdXMLMapping for schema-less encoding and decoding. This makes the schema-less interface much more compatible with the schema-based interface. As a result, the method TLcdXMLDecoder#getJavaClassResolver() was removed. Applications that rely on this method should be adapted to use TLcdXMLDecoder#getMapping()#getJavaClassResolver().

ILcdRing: a closed curve (i.e., begin and end point are the same),
ILcdCompositeCurve, TLcdCompositeCurve: a connected sequence of curves,
TLcdLonLatCompositeRing, TLcdXYCompositeRing: a closed, connected sequence of curves,
TLcdLonLatRhumbPolyline: a polyline consisting of rhumbline segments (i.e., constant bearing),
TLcdLonLatRhumbPolygon: a polygon consisting of rhumbline segments (i.e., constant bearing),
ILcdCircularArcByBulge: a circular arc defined by a start point, end point, a bulge direction and a bulge factor,
ILcdCircularArcBy3Points: a circular arc defined by a start point, end point, and a third point on the arc,
ILcdCircularArcByCenterPoint: a circular arc defined by a center point, radius, start angle and arc angle,
ILcdCircleBy3Points: a circle defined by 3 points.

To support the visualization and editing of newly introduced shape types, the following painter/editor implementations have been introduced:

TLcdGXYCompositeCurvePainter: paints and enables visual editing of ILcdCompositeCurve objects,
TLcdGXYCompositeRingPainter: paints and enables visual editing of ILcdCompositeCurve/ILcdRing objects,
TLcdGXYCircularArcPainter: paints and enables visual editing of ILcdCircularArcByBulge, ILcdCircularArcBy3Points and ILcdCircularArcByCenterPoint objects.
TLcdGXYCircleBy3PointsPainter: paints and enables visual editing of ILcdCircleBy3Points objects.

Shapes of type TLcdLonLatRhumbPolyline or TLcdLonLatRhumbPolygon are supported by the existing TLcdGXYPointListPainter class.

To ensure the connectivity between different curves in an ILcdCompositeCurve, the interface ILcdCurveConnector is introduced. By means of an ILcdCurveConnectorProvider, it is used by painter/editor implementations TLcdGXYCompositeCurvePainter and TLcdGXYCompositeRingPainter to ensure connectivity while editing.

All new shapes are illustrated in the "create and edit with mouse" sample.

The XML binding framework, introduced as beta API in LuciadMap 8.2, has undergone some changes to improve its usability and extensibility. This affects the following packages:

com.luciad.format.xml.bind
com.luciad.format.xml.bind.schema

The following table lists all class renamings which have been done between 8.2 and 9.0:

TLcdXMLUnmarshallerContext	TLcdXMLDecoder
TLcdXMLMarshallerContext	TLcdXMLEncoder
ILcdXMLUnmarshallerLibrary	ILcdXMLDecoderLibrary
ILcdXMLMarshallerLibrary	ILcdXMLEncoderLibrary

TLcdXMLSchemaTypeMarshallerProvider	TLcdXMLTypeMarshallerProvider
TLcdXMLSchemaInfo	TLcdXMLSchemaSet

The following additional API changes have been done:

The static newInstance() methods of all unmarshaller and marshaller context classes have been replaced with ordinary constructors in the new decoder and encoder classes.
The unmarshal() and marshal() methods of all unmarshaller and marshaller context classes have been renamed to decode() andencode().
The configureContext() methods of all (un)marshaller library interfaces have been to configureDecoder() andconfigureEncoder().
The Map argument of the (un)marshal and (un)marshalType methods of all (un)marshallers, type (un)marshallers and datatype (un)marshallers has been replaced with a ILcdXMLDocumentContext argument, which offers a richer API for storing and retrieving objects, based on their scope within the XML document.
TLcdXMLSchemaBindingDescriptor is no longer part of the API. Its functionality has been largely moved to the more general TLcdXMLSchemaBasedMapping class.
The ILcdXMLObjectFactory and TLcdXMLTypeObjectFactoryProvider classes have been introduced in the API, in order to separate object instantiation and unmarshalling during theXML decoding process. This allows to plug in custom object factories without having to rewrite unmarshallers.
The ILcdXMLElementInfo interface has been added to the API to allow for XML-Java-XML roundtrips without loss of information. This purpose of this interface is similar to the one provided by JAXBElement: it models an XML element, and allows to store specific XML-related information about the element, which is typically not stored otherwise in the Java representation of the XML data.
All unmarshaller and marshaller interfaces, and their corresponding providers have been generified, with as type parameter the Java class they can unmarshal or marshal.

Upgrade considerationLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

The TLcyPIMTrackAddOn, TLcyMS2525bAddOn and TLcyAPP6AAdOn have been refactored such that they now extend ALcyFormatAddOn (was ALcyDefaultAddOn). As a result the decodeAddOn(String) method has been removed. Applications that used to call this method can get the same result by creating a new instance and calling the setConfigSourceName() method.

Upgrade considerationLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

The XML format has been refactored extensively and many classes have been renamed. More info about this can be found in the release notes of LuciadMap foundation. As a result, the signature of some methods concerning XML encoding and decoding in the classes of the TLcyDrawingAddOn have been changed as well. More specifically this affects the classes ALcyShapeSupplier, ALcyDomainObjectSupplier and all their subclasses. Also the classes TLcyCompositeSchemaUnmarshallerLibrary and TLcyCompositeSchemaMarshallerLibrary have been renamed to respectively TLcyCompositeSchemaBasedDecoderLibrary and TLcyCompositeSchemaBasedEncoderLibrary.

TLcdModelList now implements ILcdModelContainer:

The addModel(ILcdModel) and addModel(ILcdModel, ILcdFilter) methods now return a boolean indicating whether the collection of models has changed. Classes overriding one of these methods will result in a compile error.
The removeModel(ILcdModel) method now returns a boolean indicating whether a model has been removed from the collection of models and no longer throws a NoSuchElementException when the model was not part of the model list. Classes overriding this method will result in a compile error. Usages of this method which relied on the NoSuchElementException will behave oddly at runtime, since no such error is thrown anymore. The returned boolean can now be used in order to determine whether a model was an element of the model list. It is also no longer necessary to check whether the model is part of the model list before calling the removeModel(ILcdModel) method.
The methods modelCount(), models(), addModelContainerListener(ILcdModelContainerListener) and removeModelContainerListener(ILcdModelContainerListener) have been added.

LUCY-953, LUCY-356, LUCY-1757

The interfaces ILcdTreeLayered, ILcdLayerTreeNode and ILcdModelTreeNode have been introduced in LuciadMap Foundation, and the upgrade considerations mentioned in the foundation release notes also apply to Lucy. Notice that in Lucy some of the data format add-ons already use layer nodes, resulting in the described issues.

Lucy also has some extra changes, compared to LuciadMap foundation:

calling
```
ILcyMapComponent#insertGXYLayer
```
with a layer list converts the layer list to a layer node and effectively adds the layer node to the view. This shouldn't have any impact, as previously the inserted layer lists could not be retrieved afterwards using the Lucy API. Consult the javadoc of that method for more information.

a getter and setter for the selected layers has been added to ILcyMapComponent (it was documented as subject to change). If you are affected by this change, it results in a compile error that can be solved by adding this piece of code:

          private ILcdGXYLayer[] fSelectedLayers;
          public void setSelectedLayers( ILcdGXYLayer[] aSelectedLayers ) {
          ILcdGXYLayer[] oldSelection = fSelectedLayers;
          fSelectedLayers = aSelectedLayers;
          firePropertyChange( "selectedLayers", oldSelection, aSelectedLayers );
          }
          public ILcdGXYLayer[] getSelectedLayers() {
          return fSelectedLayers;
          }

```
TLcyMapLayerControl#getSelectedLayers()
```
and
```
TLcyMapLayerControl#setSelectedLayers(ILcdGXYLayer[])
```
are updated to work with layer nodes and layer lists. Please consult the corresponding javadoc for more detailed information.
A new ILcyGXYLayerOrderManager implementation has been created, capable of dealing with a layer order which depends on the hierarchical structure. The old implementations have been adapted to be aware of the ILcdLayerTreeNodes. This affects the behavior of the move buttons in the layer control, since this depends on the used layer order manager.

An extra key (TLcyMapAddOn.independentOrderTreeLayeredSupport) has been added to the map_addon.cfg file, which allows to toggle between a view with a layer order independent of the layer order in the hierarchical structure, or to keep the layer order in the view and the hierarchical structure and in sync.

This extra key is set to false by default to use the best effort move approach, and keep the layer order in the view in sync with the layer order of the hierarchical layer structure. The toggle button in the layer control, allowing to switch between flat representation and hierarchical structure, is not inserted when using the default settings. For restoring the settings of V8.2, the TLcyMapAddOn.independentOrderTreeLayeredSupport must be set to true in map_addon.cfg, mapLayerControl.toggleTreeActiveSettable.mapLayerControlToolBar.insert and mapLayerControl.createFlatView must be set to true in map_addon_layer_control.cfg

The performance when working with many layers has been boosted.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

The interfaces ILcdTreeLayered, ILcdLayerTreeNode and ILcdModelTreeNode have been introduced, allowing to easily create hierarchical layer and model structures. In relation to that, these changes were made:

A getter and setter for an ILcdIcon are added to the ILcdLayer interface. The impact is minimal as all sub-interfaces (ILcdGXYLayer and ILcdGLLayer) already had these methods. If you are affected by this change, it results in a compile error.
ILcdGXYView now implements ILcdTreeLayered instead of ILcdLayered. This results in one new method (getRootNode). In the unlikely event of implementing an ILcdGXYView directly, please implement the extra method as well, probably by delegating the call to another ILcdGXYView. If you are affected by this change, it results in a compile error.
The following methods in ILcdModelContainer have been renamed to avoid clashing with the methods of ILcdModel. As this interface was not used anywhere, the impact is expected to be minimal. If you are affected by this change, it results in a compile error.

As long as no ILcdLayerTreeNode s are used, nothing changes except the changes mentioned above. When layer nodes are used, extra care must be taken when

Moving a GXYLayer in the GXYView: ILcdGXYView now implements ILcdTreeLayered which affects the behavior of the move operation. The move operation has become a best effort approach. Details of the implications of this change can be found in the developer guide and in the javadoc of the TLcdTreeLayeredSupport#moveLayerAt.
Inserting a layer node in the GXYView: inserting a layer node in the view adds the layer node as a child of the root node, and adds the layer node and all of its children to the view (ILcdGXYView#layers()). Events are generated for every layer that was added to the view.
Requesting all the layers from the GXYView:
calling ILcdGXYView#layers() returns all the layers and layer nodes in the view. When for example copying these layers to another view by looping over the result care must be taken (this is typically done when printing a view). Since the layer nodes are also returned, adding a layer node to the second view will also insert all the child layers to the second view. Those child layers were also returned when calling ILcdGXYView#layers(), hence they would be added twice.

A correct approach for the use-case mentioned above is requesting all the child layers from the root node of the view, and add all those layer(node)s to the second view. Consult the developer guide for a more detailed explanation.
Layer order of the GXYview: the paint order of the layers in the view (ILcdGXYView#layers) is not necessarily related to the layer tree structure (ILcdGXYView#getRootNode). This means that all tasks that directly or indirectly rely on the paint order (for example select controller, ... ) should continue to use the 'flat list' (ILcdGXYView#layers()) and not the hierarchical structure (getRootNode) directly.
Adding a model to an ILcdView: adding a model to an ILcdView by calling ILcdView#addModel will use the layer factory which is set on the view. Depending on whether the layer factory creates ILcdLayerTreeNode 's for TLcdModelList's and/or ILcdModelTreeNode's, the behavior of the addModel method will be slightly different:
1. When a model list is added to the view, and a layer node is created to represent this model list, the model list should not be set as the model of the layer tree node. Hence calling ILcdTreeLayered#layerOf(ILcdModel) with the model list will throw a NoSuchElementException. In case a layer list is created, the model list should be the model of the layer list and calling ILcdTreeLayered#layerOf(ILcdModel) will return the created layer list.
2. When a model list is added to the view, and a layer node is created to represent this model list, the view will be aware of the layer node itself and all of its child layers. These child layers represent the sub-models of the model list. Calling ILcdTreeLayered#layerOf(ILcdModel) with one of the sub-models will return the correct child layer. In case a layer list is created, the view is not aware of the different sub layers. Calling ILcdTreeLayered#layerOf(ILcdModel) with one of the sub-models will throw a NoSuchElementException.
  Notice that the same remark is valid for adding an ILcdLayerTreeNode directly to the view. The view will be aware of the layer tree node and its child layers, which is not the case when a layer list is added to the view.

The recommended way to replace existing ILcdGXYLayerList's to ILcdLayerTreeNode's is to create an empty ILcdLayerTreeNode and add all the layers as child layers to the created layer tree node instead of adding them to a new ILcdGXYLayerList.

However, care must be taken since the behavior of the layer lists and layer nodes is slightly different on some points:

The model: the model of the ILcdGXYLayerList was an ILcdModelList, composed of all the models of the sub-layers. The ILcdLayerTreeNode is a layer itself, with child layers, without any relationship between the model of the node and the models of its children. So the model list should not be used as the model of the layer tree node, as that would cause objects to be painted twice.
All ILcdGXYLayer operations: the standard ILcdGXYLayerList implementation (TLcdGXYLayerList) delegated those operations to all of its sub-layers, where calling these methods on an ILcdLayerTreeNode will not pass the call to its children. So for example the
```
applyOnInteract
```
method will work on the node itself, and not on the child layers which was the case for the layer list. Another example is the
```
getSelectionCount()
```
method. For an TLcdGXYLayerList this returned the sum of the selection counts of all the sub-layers, where for an ILcdLayerTreeNode it just returns the selection count of the node itself. If one wants to retrieve the selection count of all the sub-layers, (s)he must loop over all sub-layers and ask the sub-layers for their selection count. Consult the javadoc of those methods for more detailed information about the differences.
Similarly, listeners added to a node only receive changes about that node itself and not about the child nodes. Some addHierarchy*Listener methods are available that do listen on a node and all its descendants.
The view: with an ILcdGXYLayerList, the view was unaware of the sub-layers and treated the layer list and its sub layers as one big layer. This is no longer the case with an ILcdLayerTreeNode. When such a node is added to the view, all of its child layers are also added and the view knows about those child layers. This happens automatically. For example, it is not necessary to add both the node and all its child layers to the view individually. Adding the node is sufficient. Consult the developer's guide for more information (the section about ILcdTreeLayered).

The WFS client API has been extended with new functionality to connect with a WFS service:

A new class TLcdWFSClient has been introduced that facilitates direct communication with a WFS service, by offering functionality to create and send custom requests, and interpreting their result.
Requests are modeled by the new interface ILcdOWSRequest, of which three default implementations exist to represent the mandatory WFS requests: TLcdWFSGetCapabilitiesRequest, TLcdWFSDescribeFeatureTypeRequest and TLcdWFSGetFeatureRequest.
The result of a GetCapabilities request is modeled by a TLcdWFSCapabilities object, as before; the result of a DescribeFeatureType and GetFeature request is modeled by TLcdOWSInputStream. This new class is an extension of InputStream with the addition of a content type property and some metadata.
To allow control over the communication platform used to connect with a service, a new interface ILcdOWSTransport has been introduced. This interface is used by TLcdWFSClient for its communication. A default implementation TLcdOWSHttpTransport exists with support for the HTTP protocol.

The existing API that defines the concept of a proxy model now makes use of the newly introduced TLcdWFSClient class: when creating a proxy model through TLcdWFSProxyModelFactory, a TLcdWFSClient can be set to fully configure the mechanism used to communicate with a WFS service.

Upgrade considerationLuciadLightspeed

The use of com.luciad.format.xml.TLcdXMLName in the WFS client API has been removed in favor of javax.xml.namespace.QName, which is the Java equivalent of this class. This affects the following classes and methods:

TLcdWFSProxyModelFactory#createProxyModel()
TLcdWFSProxyModelDescriptor#getFeatureTypeName() and constructor
TLcdWFSProxyModel#setGeometryPropertyName() and getGeometryPropertyName()
TLcdWFSFeatureType#setName() and getName()

The methods TLcdWFSFeatureType#setNameSpacePrefix() and getNameSpacePrefix() have been removed, because the prefix information is already contained in the QName object.

Implementations can easily upgrade by replacing 'TLcdXMLName.getInstance("namespace", "localPart")' with 'new QName("namespace", "localPart")', or by invoking TLcdXMLName#asQName on an existing TLcdXMLName instance.

Although QName is only available since JDK 1.5, a backport library ws-commons-java5-1.0.1.jar is provided with LuciadMap to have it also in JDK 1.4.

The WCS client API no longer enforces to represent GetCoverage responses as java.awt.image.RenderedImage objects; instead, they are now modeled as a generic tile (ILcdTile), to allow support for responses that can not be converted to an image. For this purpose, the interface ILcdWCSCoverageDecoder has been replaced with ILcdWCSCoverageTileDecoder. The class TLcdWCSProxyModelFactory has been updated accordingly, and now accepts ILcdWCSCoverageTileDecoder implementations to support other formats than the default format (GeoTIFF).

Existing implementations of ILcdWCSCoverageDecoder need to converted to the new interface, which can be done by wrapping the RenderedImage in a TLcdRenderedImageTile. Consequently, this might require an update when TLcdWCSProxyModelFactory#createProxyModel is used.

ALcyGUIFactory: now has support for the creation of ILcyActiveSettable's. This introduces a new abstract method and a new constructor argument.

To allow a WFS Server implementation to serve data without geometry, the WFS Server API no longer enforces the use of ILcd2DBoundsIndexedModel when decoding models. The API is now compatible with regular ILcdModel implementations, so that implementations like TLcdVectorModel can be used that do not require objects to have a geometric extent.

To be able to support this, the return type of the following methods is now ILcdModel instead of ILcd2DBoundsIndexedModel:

The list of features to uniquely define an object (see ILcdARINCHandler#getKeyFeatureNames) has been updated for the following set of ARINC handlers:

TLcdARINCWayPointHandler: ILcdARINCWayPointFeature.IDENTIFIER, ILcdARINCWayPointFeature.ICAO_REGION, ILcdARINCWayPointFeature.REGION_CODE
TLcdARINCAerodromeHandler: ILcdARINCAerodromeFeature.IDENTIFICATION, ILcdARINCAerodromeFeature.ICAO_REGION

TLcdARINCMarkerHandler: ILcdARINCMarkerFeature.AIRPORT_ID, ILcdARINCMarkerFeature.RUNWAY_ID, ILcdARINCMarkerFeature.IDENTIFIER, ILcdARINCMarkerFeature.MARKER_TYPE

The previous list of features in these handlers did not uniquely define the decoded objects. Because duplicates are ignored, this resulted in too few objects in the decoded models. The handlers TLcdARINCEnrouteAirwayHandler, TLcdARINCHoldingHandler and TLcdARINCProcedureHandler have been updated accordingly, to take into account the new list of features when retrieving an object from one of the decoded models (e.g., a procedure that refers to a waypoint). This results in an improved and more accurate representation of the decoded objects, when previously some referred objects could not be found.

If there is an explicit dependency on the previous list of features, this might require some implementation changes. For example, if the previous list of features was used as a unique index on the decoded models, it should now be used as a normal index that can return multiple objects instead of only one.

The package contains a new decoder class called TLcdDWGModelListDecoder. It decodes a DWG file, after which the obtained model is split into several submodels, each corresponding to a single DWG layer. The submodels are returned as a TLcd2DBoundsIndexedModelList. For convenience, the model decoders TLcdDWGModelDecoder and TLcdDWGModelListDecoder share a new common interface ILcdDWGModelDecoder.

If retrieveIndex is called for a unique index, this method now returns a Vector containing the unique element that matches the query, instead of returning null.
If retrieveUniqueIndex is called for a non-unique index, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown now, instead of returning null.

The specification of addElement, addElements, removeElement and removeElements in ILcdModel has been changed; implementations are no longer required to throw an IllegalArgumentException when an invalid element is added or removed. Instead, these methods now have a precondition (

) which should hold for the element(s) that is being added/removed. It is unspecified by default what happens if one of these methods is called while the precondition does not hold. All implementations of ILcdModel in com.luciad.model no longer call canAddElement or canRemoveElement from within the addElement(s)/removeElement(s) methods. Existing code that relies on the IllegalArgumentException exception being thrown:

      try {
      model.addElement(aElement, ILcdModel.FIRE_NOW);
      }
      catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {

      }
      else {
      // Do something.

LMAP-2569, LMAP-2608

A number of issues in the existing buffer domain object TLcdLonLatBuffer and corresponding painter TLcdGXYBufferPainter have been fixed in the new buffer implementation, by the introduction of a new geodetic implementation TLcdLonLatGeoBuffer and a new painter implementation TLcdGXYGeoBufferPainter. The following problems had been identified in the past and are fixed in the new implementation:

LMAP-2569: the fill of a buffer does not match with the contour for wide buffers,
LMAP-2608: a narrow buffer cannot be moved with TLcdGXYBufferPainter,
2446: TLcdLonLatBuffer does not handle degenerate cases,
2782: the line/fill style handling of TLcdGXYBufferPainter is inconsistent,
3682: sharp angles in the axis of a buffer are not handled correctly by TLcdLonLatBuffer and TLcdGXYBufferPainter,
4033: overlapping areas are not handled correctly by TLcdGXYBufferPainter,
4549,5421,5475: TLcdGXYBufferPainter does not allow to move a buffer if it is part of a composite selection but not touched,

To obtain the fixes, an upgrade is needed by replacing the use of TLcdLonLatBuffer and TLcdGXYBufferPainter with TLcdLonLatGeoBuffer and TLcdGXYGeoBufferPainter.

As a result, incorrect unplugFrom implementations might cause problems where they previously didn't. To be absolutely sure no problems will pop up, one can put the bodies of all unplugFrom methods in comment.

Note that most add-ons shipped with Lucy don't implement the unplugFrom method, so they don't support to be unplugged and re-plugged later.

TLcyRedliningAddOn: the action 'Draw | Extract buffer' now uses a new buffer representation that uses arcs to connect segments and properly handles overlapping areas, sharp angles and degenerate cases. Buffer objects stored in .red files that are created with previous versions of Lucy are now visualized with the new buffer representation. This might cause interpretation issues if there is a specific dependency on the geometry of the contour of the buffer (e.g., an intersection with other shapes).

One specific change between the old and new buffer is the end cap style of the buffer, which defines how the endings of the buffer must be visualized. This can be either CAP_ROUND or CAP_BUTT, which respectively defines a flat or a rounded ending of the buffer, and can be configured for the new buffer through the following property:

      resources/lucy/redlining/redlining_addon.cfg: TLcyRedliningAddOn.defaultBufferEndCapStyle

By default, CAP_ROUND is used instead of CAP_BUTT as in the old buffer, but this behavior can be reverted by changing the property value to CAP_BUTT.

TLcyMapRotationAddOn: the background of the rotation panel now also rotates. Furthermore, the map is now continuously repainted while the mouse is being dragged. If asynchronuous painting is disabled, continuously repainting is not advised. Therefore a new config property 'TLcyMapRotationAddOn.continuousRepaint' allows to change this behavior (in 'resources/lucy/map/map_rotation_addon.cfg').

Bug fixLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

TLcyMain: AWT's EventQueue used to be replaced by a custom extension, to show an error dialog when an uncaught exception occurred (for example a TLcdLicenseError). Now, if Java 1.5 or above is available, the EventQueue is left untouched and the UncaughtExceptionHandler mechanism is used. This provides a workaround for Sun bug #4913324: there is a possibility to deadlock the application when replacing the event queue.

This also allows to control the uncaught exception dialog globally, using Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler. Check out sample class 'AFrontend' for an example.

TLcdARINCRunwayHandler incorrectly set the widths of runway objects to the value in feet, rather than converting it to meters as required by the specification of ILcdRunway.getWidth(). As a result, the runway painter would paint runways wider than they should be. This has now been corrected. Note that the width in feet, as read from the ARINC file, is still available in the features of the runway object (ILcdARINCRunwayFeature.WIDTH and ILcdARINCRunwayFeature.WIDTH_UNIT).

Also the default workspace that ships with the LuciadMap distribution does not contain any information relevant for the tabbed pane mode. It is possible to read this default workspace but the application panes will not be layed out optimally. Therefore, next to the new default workspace, the old default workspace is also present as the resources/lucy/workspace/tabbedPaneDefaultWorkspace.lws file.

The 'cornerSmoothness' property of the symbol's style is now used to render a rounded area. By using 0 as value for this property, the original rendering with straight corners can still be reinstated.
The label of the symbol is now drawn with the font of the symbol's style (cfr. 'labelFont' property in ILcdMS2525bStyle and ILcdAPP6AStyle), instead of using a scaled version of this font.

By default, all produced layers of these add-ons will be painted asynchronously, except for the TLcyDefaultDecodersAddOn's vector layers. This behavior can be customized in the configuration files.

The asynchronous add-on will have no effect on your own produced layers, but may impact your code if this code uses layers created by the above-mentioned add-ons. In particular, layer casts may no longer work and model changes must use TLcdLockUtil to establish a model write lock.

ALcdRasterTerrainElevationProvider: this class now support different invalid altitude values. The value 'outOfRasterBoundsValue' corresponds to points which lie outside the bounds of the source raster. The value 'unknownElevation' corresponds to elevation values of points for which the raster does not contain a valid raster value, it is not inside the interval [minimumValidRasterValue,maximumValidRasterValue].

Line-of-sight computations now support pluggable propagation functions. Four propagation functions are provided:

com.luciad.tea.TLcdLOSRadarPropagationFunction to compute visual or radar line of sight on an earth modeled as a sphere,
com.luciad.tea.TLcdLOSRadarPropagationFunctionSkyBackground to compute where one is visible with sky in the background.
com.luciad.tea.TLcdLOSPropagationFunctionFixedHeight to compute the visibility at a given height above the ground,

Use the factory TLcdLOSCoverageFactory to compute a line-of-sight covering an area around a center point and the factory TLcdP2PCoverageFactory to compute a point-to-point line-of-sight between two points. More information can be found in the developer guide and the API reference documentation.

The MIL-STD 2525b implementation has received a major upgrade to comply with MIL-STD 2525b Change 1 2004, the most recent specification. In this context, the rendering of a set of corresponding APP-6A symbols has been improved also.

The most important changes in the Change 1 specification are:

An extension of the available affiliations with EXERCISE PENDING, EXERCISE UNKNOWN, EXERCISE ASSUMED FRIEND, EXERCISE FRIEND and EXERCISE NEUTRAL
The addition of a general warfighting symbol, S*Z*------***** (1.X), with unknown battle dimension.
The expansion of the symbol 'Drone' (1.X.2.1.1.16) with a large set of child symbols.
A new symbol category 'Dead Reckoning Trailer' (2.X.2.1.1.2.5).
A new symbol category 'Area of Uncertainty' (2.X.2.1.1.2.6).
A new symbol category 'Wreck' (2.X.6.3.1.3).
A vast expansion of the symbol category 'Fire support' (2.X.4).
A major expansion of the weather/metoc symbology, with 291 new symbols

Next to this list, various other small improvements have been made to comply with Change 1.

ImprovementDefense Symbology

The calculation of the label bounds for multipoint symbols (2 points or more) in APP-6A and MIL-STD 2525b has been enhanced to obtain a better accuracy. This improves the behavior of a label decluttering algorithm, which generally uses the label bounds to declutter the labels.

ImprovementDefense Symbology

The rendering of the following weather symbols in APP-6A and MIL-STD 2525b has been improved:

The frontal systems, the trough line symbol and the squal line symbol in APP-6A (located in 'Weather' - 'Pressure Systems') and in MIL-STD 2525b (located in 'Metoc' - 'Atmospheric' - 'Pressure Systems') are now rendered using the 'cornerSmoothness' property of the symbol's style, to obtain a curved polyline which better reflects the nature of a pressure system. By using 0 as value for this property, the original rendering with straight corners can still be reinstated.
The icon symbol 'Wind Plot/Barb' in MIL-STD 2525b (3.X.3.1.4.2) and APP-6A (3.X.4) is now rendered dynamically: it uses the modifiers 'Movement Direction' (ILcdMS2525bCoded.sMovementDirection, ILcdAPP6ACoded.sMovementDirection) and 'Speed' (ILcdMS2525bCoded.sSpeedLabel, ILcdAPP6ACoded.sSpeedLabel) to better reflect the actual wind condition. The 'Movement Direction' modifier is used to specify a wind direction in degrees, while the 'Speed' modifier is used to specify the wind speed in knots; these modifiers respectively define the orientation and decoration of the wind barb icon.
The symbols 'Rain' (APP-6A: 3.X.7.1, MIL-STD 2525b: 3.X.3.1.7.1), 'Snow' (APP-6A: 3.X.7.1, MIL-STD 2525b: 3.X.3.1.7.1), 'Hail' (APP-6A: 3.X.7.1, MIL-STD 2525b: 3.X.3.1.7.1), 'Ice pellets' (APP-6A: 3.X.7.1, MIL-STD 2525b: 3.X.3.1.7.1) and 'Ice crystals' (APP-6A: 3.X.7.1, MIL-STD 2525b: 3.X.3.1.7.1) are now rendered as areas (also using the 'cornerSmoothness' property of the symbol's style), which better reflects the nature of the symbol.

TLcyG4JAddOn: the translations in the 'Resources' resource bundle of the G4J addon have been merged with the DefaultResources from Lucy.

TLcyMapAddOn: the TLcyMapComponentFactory now also adds the 'File|Save As...' menu item (next to the 'File|Save' menu item). Previously, this menu item was added by the TLcyExportAddOn.

TLcdGXYPolygonLabelPainter and TLcdGXYPolylineLabelPainter no longer paint a label when the array returned by retrieveLabels is null or of zero length. This is the same behavior as TLcdGXYLabelPainter. The effect of this change will only be visible in extension of the painters which returned such arrays and when the label painter was configured to put a frame around the label, or to fill the label with a background color. To regain the previous behaviour it suffices to return an array with a non zero length, containing empty Strings.

TLcyToteAddOn: The checkboxes at the right of the table moved to a toolbar above the table. To enable the old user interface, the config property 'TLcyToteAddOn.usePriorTo7_1' of 'resources/lucy/tote/tote_addon.cfg' should be set to 'true'.

The source code of this addon is now available in samples.lucy.tableview.TableViewAddOn, and can therefore be completely customized.

TLcdGXYPointListPainter now checks the painter mode (polygon, polyline, ... ) before removing points. Point lists painted in POLYGON, FILLED or OUTLINED FILLED mode can not have the 2nd but last point removed, point lists in POLYLINE mode can not have the one but last point removed and point lists in POINT mode can not have the last point removed. Before this change the default behavior was to allow removal of all points except the last one. To reinstate that behavior overwrite the method retrieveMinimalPointcount in TLcdGXYPointListPainter to always return 1.

Upgrade considerationLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

TLcyMapAddOn: The layer properties action no longer uses auto-generated customizers to alter the properties of layers for which no appropriate ILcyCustomizerFactory was registered. This behaviour can be re-enabled by specifying the -Dcom.luciad.lucy.addons.map.TLcyMapAddOn.fallbackOnGeneratedCustomizers=true system property when starting up Lucy.

Note that in this case the customizers will only be generated if no ILcyCustomizerPanelFactory can be found for the layer. Ie., if a fallback ILcyCustomizerPanelFactory for layers has been registered with Lucy, that fallback ILcyCustomizerPanelFactory will get precedence over the customizer generated using Beans introspection. The TLcyMapAddOn by default registers such a fallback factory. This can be disabled by setting the property TLcyMapAddOn.registerFallbackLayerCustomizerPanelFactory to false in the configuration file of the TLcyMapAddOn.

com.luciad.util.ILcdRotationCapable has be deprecated in favor of com.luciad.view.gxy.ILcdRotationCapableGXYView, since it was only used in the context of views. Since the new interface extends the old interface, no problems should arise with existing code. All view implementations that implemented ILcdRotationCapable, now implement ILcdRotationCapableGXYView. Take into account that new code may be written against the new interface and will not work for ILcdRotationCapable implementations. To avoid this, replace all ILcdRotationCapable occurences by ILcdRotationCapableGXYView.

A set of MIL-STD 2525b symbols have received a new unique code in the MIL-STD 2525b Change 1 2004 specification. To ease the upgrade to Change 1, the old codes can still be used in TLcdEditableMS2525bObject: when an old code is detected, it will be automatically converted to the correct MIL-STD 2525b Change 1 2004 code. Note that the method getMS2525Code() always returns the new code in that case.

TLcdMultilevelGridUtil: a utility class to convert locations expressed in the reference on which the grid is based to and from multilevel grid coordinates,
ALcdMultilevelGridCoordinateFormat: parses and formats multilevel grid coordinates,
TLcdMultilevelGridCoordinateModel: takes into account the structure of a multilevel grid to contain multilevel grid coordinates.

Two samples demonstrate how this grid can be used to model and display a CGRS and a GARS grid.

LuciadMap now supports editable labels that can be freely placed. To this end several interfaces were extended.

These changes mostly affect the com.luciad.view.gxy and com.luciad.view.gxy.controller package. Following interfaces have been extended:

ILcdGXYLabelPainter has been extended by ILcdGXYLabelPainter2. It provides extra methods to influence the label position, and allows for free placement of the labels.
ILcdGXYLayer has been extended by ILcdGXYEditableLabelsLayer. It provides access to the locations of the labels as they were drawn through the getLabelLocations method.

In addition, there are new select and edit controllers that can select and manipulate these editable labels: com.luciad.view.gxy.TLcdGXYSelectController2 and com.luciad.view.gxy.TLcdGXYEditController2. The old select and edit controllers were not modified to work with these editable labels.

Support has been added to handle multi-dimensional data in the WMS server, as defined by Annex C of the OpenGIS OGC 06-042 Web Map Server Implementation Specification.

To retrieve dimension information for a layer, the class com.luciad.wms.client.model.ALcdWMSNamedLayer has been extended with two new methods, getDimension(int) and getDimensionCount(). The dimension information itself is modeled as follows:

ALcdOGCWMSDimension: represents a dimension definition.
TLcdOGCWMSDimensionExtent: represents a set of values or intervals for a dimension.

To include one or more dimensional parameters in a request, TLcdOGCWMSDimensionWrapper objects must be registered on the active ALcdWMSProxy. A TLcdOGCWMSDimensionWrapper holds a reference to a dimension definition (modeled by ALcdOGCWMSDimension) and the value(s)/interval(s) to be used (modeled by TLcdOGCWMSDimensionExtent). To configure dimensions on a ALcdWMSProxy, the following methods have been introduced:

addDimension(ALcdOGCWMSDimension)
getDimensionCount()
getDimension(int)
removeDimension(int)
clearDimensions()

To define a dimension for a layer, the classes ALcdWMSDimension, TLcdWMSDimension and TLcdWMSDimensionExtent have been introduced. ALcdWMSDimension and TLcdWMSDimension represent a dimensional parameter, while TLcdWMSDimensionExtent is used to model the available values for a dimension. The classes ALcdWMSLayer and TLcdWMSLayer have been extended with methods to configure these elements.

For convenience, the sample XML configuration format to configure the capabilities of a server has been extended with support for dimensions. The decoders for this format, com.luciad.wms.server.config.xml.TLcdWMSCapabilitiesXMLDecoder and samples.wms.server.config.xml.WMSCapabilitiesXMLDecoder, both recognize the XML element 'Dimension' and its contents.

The source name property of a layer (see getSourceName() in ALcdWMSLayer), is too limited to be used for a layer with one or more dimensions, since the corresponding data source depends not only on the layer name but also on the dimensional parameters supplied by the client. To be able to map an ALcdWMSLayer with one or more dimensional parameters on a data source, the abstract class ALcdMultiDimensionalModelProvider has been introduced. Users must implement this class and register it by overriding the method createModelProvider(ILcdModelDecoderFactory[]) in ALcdOGCWMSCommandDispatcherFactory, to support multi-dimensional layers.

ImprovementOGC Server

The domain model for the WMS capabilities has been extended to include support for the elements MetadataURL, DataURL and FeatureListURL that can be defined for a layer, and for the elements LegendURL, StylesheetURL and StyleURL that can be defined for a layer style. To model these elements, a new class TLcdWMSURL has been introduced. The classes ALcdWMSLayer, TLcdWMSLayer, ALcdWMSLayerStyle and TLcdWMSLayerStyle have been extended with methods to configure these elements. For consistency, the already supported element AuthorityURL for a layer can now also be modeled using TLcdWMSURL in ALcdWMSLayer and TLcdWMSLayer.

ImprovementOGC Server

A new interface ILcdWMSOnlineResourceResolver has been introduced, which is used to dynamically resolve the paths to online resources. A default implementation is registered by default, but custom implementations can be used by overriding the method createWMSOnlineResourceResolver(ServletConfig) in ALcdOGCWMSCommandDispatcherFactory.

ImprovementOGC Server

Two new methods have added to ALcdWMSLayer, which make it possible to retrieve the parent layer:

setParentWMSLayer(ALcdWMSLayer): a protected method that can be called to register the parent layer. The default implementation TLcdWMSLayer automatically invokes this method on the child layer when addChildWMSLayer(ALcdWMSLayer) or removeChildWMSLayer(ALcdWMSLayer) is called.
getParentWMSLayer(): a public method, allowing to retrieve the currently registered parent layer.

The 'Air Corridor' symbol in MIL-STD 2525b (G*G*ALC---****X, 2.X.2.2.2.1) didn't have any labels. In accordance with the MIL-STD 2525b Change 1 2004 specification, it will now use the 'Unique Designation' modifier (ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation, ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation) to draw two labels, one above the axis and one below the axis of the symbol. By using the separator character ':' in the modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation, one can create these two labels: the text before ':' will be used above the axis, the other part of the text will be used below the axis of the symbol.

Furthermore, the rendering quality of the labels of this symbol and related symbols in the group Aviation Lines (MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.2.2, APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.2.2) has been improved.

ImprovementDefense Symbology

The movement direction arrow of MIL-STD 2525b and APP-6A icon symbols (ILcdMS2525bCoded.sMovementDirection, ILcdAPP6ACoded.sMovementDirection) was not taken into account in the bounds calculation performed by the painter.

The echelon restrictions in the MIL-STD 2525b and APP-6A customizer for Special Operations Forces (SOF) units (1.X.6) have been diminished. All echelons except for echelons of the type 'INSTALLATION' are now applicable.

ImprovementDefense Symbology

It is now possible in APP-6A and MIL-STD 2525b to render a limited set of arrows with more than two points:

Axis of Advance for Feint (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.3.2, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.3.2)
Friendly Aviation (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.5.2.1.1, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.5.2.1.1)
Friendly Airborne (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.5.2.1.2, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.5.2.1.2)
Friendly Attack Helicopter (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.5.2.1.3, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.5.2.1.3)
Friendly Ground Axis of Supporting Attack (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.5.2.1.4, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.5.2.1.4.2)
Friendly Ground Axis of Main Attack (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.5.2.1.5, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.5.2.1.4.1)
Friendly Ground Axis On Order (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.5.2.1.6)
Enemy Confirmed (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.5.2.1.7)

When more than two points are used, the arrow is smoothly rendered through the specified points. The amount of smoothness can be controlled through the methods setCornerSmoothness(double), getCornerSmoothness() in ILcdAPP6AStyle and ILcdMS2525bStyle.

The S-57 domain objects now implement ILcdFeatured. The following classes were adapted:

TLcdS57Point, TLcdS57Line and TLcdS57Area now implement ILcdFeatured
TLcdS57Identifier and TLcdS57EditableIdentifier now implement ILcdFeatured as well.
All S-57 model descriptors (TLcdS57ModelDescriptor, TLcdS57CatalogueModelDescriptor, TLcdS57LevelModelDescriptor) now implement the ILcdFeaturedDescriptorProvider interface, being able now to return an ILcdFeaturedDescriptor for each S-57 object in the model.

TLcdS57AttributeClassDescriptor (and derivatives) and TLcdS57ObjectClassDescriptor can be used to retrieve the class code, acronym, type and other meta information, as defined in the S-57 specification. The following other classes were changed:

New iplementations of ILcdS57AttributeClassMap and ILcdS57ObjectClassMap are made available in the API, offering extra methods for retrieving attribute and object class descriptors.

ALcdPoint no longer extends ALcdBounds, instead it extends ALcdShape and implements the interface ILcdBounds. This will only influence code that relies explicitly on ALcdBounds.

TLcdGXYLayer now implements ILcdGXYEditableLabelsLayer as well as ILcdGXYLayer.

As stated in the enhancements section, LuciadMap now supports freely placeable labels. In order for your projects to take full advantage of this feature, several guidelines must be followed.

All classes that use any of the methods in ILcdGXYLabelPainter should be made aware that these label painters could also implement ILcdGXYLabelPainter2. If these label painters also implement ILcdGXYLabelPainter2, the Object and the TLcdLabelLocation must be set instead of the Object and the location index.

All classes that paint labels should inform the ALcdLabelLocations which labels have been painted. For instance implementations of ILcdGXYLayer, ILcdGXYLayerLabelPainter and ILcdGXYViewLabelPainter paint labels, and as such have to inform these ALcdLabelLocations.
Please refer to the reference documentation of ILcdGXYEditableLabelsLayer, ILcdGXYLabelPainter2 and ALcdLabelLocations for more detailed information.

If these guidelines are not followed, your application will behave as if there are no editable labels.

TLcyMapAddOn: Using TLcdGXYEditController (extends from TLcdGXYSelectController) was replaced by using (an obfuscated extension of) the new TLcdGXYEditController2 (extends from TLcdGXYSelectController2). This might cause existing instanceof tests (e.g. instanceof TLcdGXYSelectController) to yield false where they used to return true. These tests should be replaced with instanceof TLcdGXYSelectController2 or TLcdGXYEditController2.

There is a configuration option available (TLcyMapAddOn.useEditController2) in the map_addon.cfg configuration file to revert to the old behaviour if this is necessary.

As a result, it is now possible to use alt-click to deselect an object (enhancement #3614).

The implementations of ILcdModel have been improved for concurrent access from multiple threads. Their levels of thread-safety are documented in the API documentation. Notably, TLcd2DBoundsIndexedModel now allows concurrent read-only access. The method applyOnInteracts2D is no longer explicitly synchronized, allowing multiple threads to access the model concurrently. This change may be incompatible if any code explicitly or implicitly relies on this synchronization. If so, one can set system properties that are defined in the API documentation to revert to the old behavior. Concurrent read-write access is still only possible with external synchronization. Please consult the developer guide for more details.

The implementations of ILcdShape - except for all *Float* classes - in com.luciad.shape, com.luciad.shape.shape2D and com.luciad.shape.shape3D have received consistent implementations of the methods clone, equals, hashCode, and toString.

Notably, the method clone now always delegates to the method super.clone, which ensures that a class of the proper type is created, even for extensions. The behavior of clone is kept as much the same as before as possible, especially regarding the choice between a deep clone and shallow clone. The javadoc of the clone method in the updated ILcdShape implementations can be consulted for the exact clone behavior.

The methods equals and hashCode now always compare the classes and the properties of the shapes (like coordinates, radius, height, etc).

As with any class that implements equals and hashcode based on object properties, the implications may catch unsuspecting developers by surprise. A common example is a point that is put in a hash table. If its coordinates are changed after it has been put in the hash table, its identity and, more specifically, its hash code changes. It then becomes impossible to retrieve the point based on its hash code. This usually leads to NullPointerExceptions, as null is returned instead of the object. Another example is points only being equal if their classes are equal. A final example is the confusion caused by extensions of the basic shape implementations that do not properly override the identity methods. Overriding implementations should always delegate to their super versions, adding any necessary code for additional properties. The new implementations in LuciadMap may be incompatible with existing code if the code explicitly or implicitly relies on the previous imperfect implementations.

The ILcyApplicationPane interface has been expanded to allow for icons in the title bars in application panes. To this end following methods were added to the interface:

      void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener aPropertyChangeListener);
      void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener aPropertyChangeListener);

      void putValue(String aKey, Object aValue);
      Object getValue(String aKey);

Add the following code to your implementations of ILcyApplicationPane to support the get/putValue methods:

      private final Map fPropertiesMap = new HashMap();

      public Object getValue( String aKey ) {
      return fPropertiesMap.get( aKey );
      }

      public void putValue( String aKey, Object aValue ) {
      Object old = fPropertiesMap.get( aKey );
      fPropertiesMap.put( aKey, aValue );
      firePropertyChange( aKey, old, aValue );
      }

If your implementation of ILcyApplicationPane does not extend a class that provides support for the add/removePropertyChangeListeners, add the following code to you implementations:

      private final PropertyChangeSupport fPropertyChangeSupport = new PropertyChangeSupport( this
      );

      public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener aPropertyChangeListener){
      fPropertyChangeSupport.addPropertyChangeListener(aPropertyChangeListener);
      }

      public void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener aPropertyChangeListener){
      fPropertyChangeSupport.removePropertyChangeListener(aPropertyChangeListener);
      }

      protected void firePropertyChange(String aPropertyName, Object aOldValue, Object aNewValue){
      fPropertyChangeSupport.firePropertyChange(aPropertyName, aOldValue, aNewValue);
      }

Lastly, the existing properties of the application panes (ie., appTitle, appEnabled, appSize, appVisible, disposable and resizable) are now defined to be bound properties. This means that when these properties change, a PropertyChangeEvent should be thrown. For example:

      public void setAppTitle( String aAppTitle ){
      String old = getAppTitle();
      //set the app title, eg.
      this.fAppTitle = aAppTitle;
      firePropertyChange( "appTitle", old, aAppTitle );

The TLcyXMLAddOnLoader has been adjusted so that the class names specified in the addons.xml file may also extend from ALcyAddOn instead of implementing ILcyAddOnDecoder. As such it is no longer guaranteed that the classes specified in the addons.xml file implement ILcyAddOnDecoder. The following code demonstrates how you could adapt to this change.

      ALcyAddOn add_on = null;
      Class clazz = Class.forName( specified_class_name );

      if ( ILcyAddOnDecoder.class.isAssignableFrom( clazz ) ) {
      add_on = ( ( ILcyAddOnDecoder ) clazz.newInstance() ).decodeAddOn( configFileName );
      }
      else if ( ALcyAddOn.class.isAssignableFrom( clazz ) ) {

As a result, it is no longer best practice to extend ALcyDefaultAddOn, but to extend ALcyAddOn directly.

ILcdWFSFeatureType has been extended to contain a list of TLcdWFSMetadataURLs. This list was previously only included in TLcdWFSFeatureType, but is now included in the interface as well and must therefore be added to all implementations. The metadata URLs are not mandatory, however, so implementations of the new methods may be empty if they are not needed.

The interfaces ILcdRemoteOWSModelDecoder and ILcdRemoteOWSModelProvider have been updated to enable implementations to return an ILcdModel array instead of a single ILcdModel:

ILcdRemoteOWSModelDecoder.decode(): the return type is now ILcdModel[] instead of ILcdModel
ILcdRemoteOWSModelProvider.getModel(): the return type is now ILcdModel[] instead of ILcdModel

This is done to support Styled Layer Descriptors that combine multiple coverages (WCS) or feature types (WFS) into one user-defined layer. Implementations can decode each coverage or feature type into a single ILcdModel. This is especially needed when these coverages or feature types use different model references, since an ILcdModel can only have one model reference.

The abstract class ALcdSLDWMSGXYLayerFactory has been adapted accordingly: the signature of the method

abstract public ILcdGXYLayer createGXYLayer( ILcdModel, TLcdSLDUserLayer, TLcdSLDFeatureTypeStyle[] );

has changed into

abstract public ILcdGXYLayer[] createGXYLayer( ILcdModel[], TLcdSLDUserLayer, TLcdSLDFeatureTypeStyle[] );

to allow implementations to create an ILcdGXYLayer for each decoded ILcdModel that is part of a user-defined layer.

Support has been added for the layer attribute 'opaque'. This is a property defined by the WMS specification that allows to indicate that a layer represents an area-filling coverage. The following changes have been made to support this property:

ALcdWMSLayer has been extended with a method isOpaque() and TLcdWMSLayer has been extended with a method setOpaque(Boolean). The configured value is automatically taken into account while sending the capabilities to the client (see below).
The WMS server configuration decoders, com.luciad.wms.server.config.xml.TLcdWMSCapabilitiesXMLDecoder and samples.wms.server.config.xml.WMSCapabilitiesXMLDecoder, both recognize the XML attribute 'opaque="true|false"' for the XML element 'Layer'.

To provide better support for dynamic WMS server implementations, a number of enhancements haven been implemented:

A new interface com.luciad.wms.server.ILcdWMSCapabilitiesUpdater has been introduced which can be used to implement an update strategy for the WMS server. This interface contains one method update(HttpServletRequest), which will be invoked for each incoming request. To register an implementation on the WMS, the new factory method createWMSCapabilitiesUpdater(ServletConfig, TLcdOGCWMSCommandDispatcher, ILcdWMSCapabilitiesDecoder) in ALcdOGCWMSCommandDispatcherFactory must be implemented.
A new factory method createModelProvider() has been introduced in ALcdOGCWMSCommandDispatcherFactory, which returns an ILcdModelProvider. In the past, an ILcdModelProvider was created internally and set on the command dispatcher, which made it more difficult to insert a custom ILcdModelProvider implementation.
The WMS server sample has been extended with a sample implementation of ILcdWMSCapabilitiesUpdater.
The implementation of TLcdOGCWMSCommandDispatcher has been improved in the context of a dynamic WMS:
- Extra measures have been taken to prevent any inconsistencies while updating the server at runtime.
- The getWMSCapabilities(HttpServletRequest) will now always return the same ALcdWMSCapabilities object for the same HttpServletRequest object.

The com.luciad.format.xml and com.luciad.format.xml.schema packages have been refactored signifantly, influencing also some other packages making use of the XML framework (GML3, SLD, ...):

The interface ILcdXMLElementAdapter has been extended with extra methods for visiting an XML element; an XML element can now be inspected by passing an ILcdXMLElementVisitor to the adapter, which will call the visitor for each attribute/content/child element of the XML element being visited.
The abstract classes ALcdXMLElementAdapter and ALcdXMLTypedElementAdapter have been removed. They have been replaced by 4 new classes:
- ALcdXMLIndexBasedElementAdapter
- ALcdXMLTypedIndexBasedElementAdapter
- ALcdXMLVisitorBasedElementAdapter
- ALcdXMLTypedVisitorBasedElementAdapter
The first two adapters replace the old adapters; extensions of these classes should override the index-based methods (getXXX(index) and getXXXCount()); the visitXXX() methods of these adapters delegate to the index-based methods. The other two adapters work in the opposite direction: extensions of these classes should override the visitor-based methods, and the index-based methods of these adapters delegate to the visitor-based ones. All existing adapter implementations should rename their super class from ALcdXML(Typed)ElementAdapter to ALcdXML(Typed)IndexBasedElementAdapter. New implementations of ILcdXMLElementAdapter should preferably extend one of the two visitor-based adapter classes, since these are easier to implement, less error-prone and more efficient. All existing adapters, available in the LuciadMap API, have beed adjusted to these changes.
New editable interfaces have been added for name and object stacks, ILcdXMLEditableNameStack and ILcdXMLEditableObjectStack. The default implementations, TLcdXMLNameStack and TLcdXMLObjectStack, have been updated to implement these interfaces.
A default implementation of ILcdXMLDocumentContext, TLcdXMLDocumentContext, has been made available in the API. Interface and implementation have additional startElement() and endElement() methods to control the XML stack depth.
A new Exception class has been introduced, TLcdXMLInterruptedException, which can be used to interrupt a running XML call.
The method signatures of several classes have been harmonized:
- ILcdXMLElementAdapterAdapter.getAdapterForObject
- ILcdXMLElementNameProvider.getElementNameForObject

They now all take as arguments a name and object stack, pointing to the parent XML name/object, and an additional name and object, identifying the XML name/object to be inspected/handled.
The order in which element name provider and element adapter provider are called by the XML encoder has been changed. The element name provider is no longer called directly by the encoder; all XML element names are retrieved now using the ILcdXMLElementAdapter.getName() method, even that of the root object. This implies that element adapter providers should be able to return element adapters for objects, without knowing the exact XML name. The setElementNameProvider() and getElementNameProvider() methods of the TLcdXMLEncoder class have been deprecated.
The ILcdXMLElementNameProvider.getElementNameForObject() method now has an additional TLcdXMLName argument, indicating the XML type to which the returned element name should belong.
XML element adapter libraries have been removed from the API. Composite adapter providers should now be constructed using the new TLcdXMLCompositeElementAdapterProvider class. Basic adapter providers for GML3, SLD, and so on, can be registered with a composite adapter provider, to create one large element adapter provider.

The package com.luciad.ogc.filter was extended. It now contains an API and implementation for decoding, encoding, evaluating and representation of OGC filters. The API is based on the OGC 02-059 and 04-095 Filter Encoding Implementation Specification, version 1.0 and 1.1. This specification describes an XML encoding of a system neutral representation of a query predicate. OGC filters are constructs used to constrain the property values of an object type for the purpose of identifying a subset of object instances. The package com.luciad.ogc.filter contains now the following subpackages:

com.luciad.ogc.filter.model: contains the domain model to represent OGC filters and expressions
com.luciad.ogc.filter.model.capabilities: contains the domain model to represent OGC filter capabilities
com.luciad.ogc.filter.xml: contains XML decoding and encoding facilities for OGC filters and filter capabilities. These facilities are built upon the general LuciadMap XML framework.
com.luciad.ogc.filter.xml.capabilities: contains XML decoding and encoding facilities for OGC filter capabilities. These facilities are built upon the general LuciadMap XML framework.
com.luciad.ogc.filter.evaluator: contains the implementation of the OGC Filter Evaluator. The OGC Filter Evaluator allows you to build an ILcdFilter that can be used for accepting or rejecting a given object or to build an ILcdPropertyRetriever than can be used for computing a property of a given object
com.luciad.ogc.filter.spatial: contains the implementation of the OGC Filter Spatial Evaluator that provides the ability to perform advanced spatial filtering

com.luciad.ogc.sld.model: contains the domain model to represent Feature Type Styles.
com.luciad.ogc.sld.view.gxy: contains the GXY view representation of the Feature Type Style model applied to ILcdModel objects. The classes in this package enable conversion of a Feature Type Style model/ILcdModel combination into ILcdGXYPainter and ILcdGXYLayer instances which can be used in an ILcdGXYView.
com.luciad.ogc.sld.xml: contains an XML decoder and encoder for Feature Type Styles. The decoder and encoder are built upon the general LuciadMap XML framework.

for version 1.1.1 and earlier, the XML capabilities document includes the XML element UserDefinedSymbolization, which is defined by the OpenGIS WMS 1.1.1 Capabilities DTD (see http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.1.1/WMS_MS_Capabilities.dtd). This element contains some attributes that indicate the SLD support.
for version 1.3.0, the OpenGIS WMS 1.3.0 Capabilities XML Schema does not include an SLD related XML element. Therefore, a custom LuciadMap WMS 1.3.0 Capabilities XML Schema is available (see build/wms/resources/schemas/wms/1.3.0/sld_capabilities_1_3_0.xsd), which extends the OpenGIS WMS 1.3.0 Capabilities Schema (see http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.3.0/capabilities_1_3_0.xsd). This extension adds the element UserDefinedSymbolization to the default schema, which was present in the OpenGIS WMS 1.1.1 Capabilities DTD.

The WFS has been extended to support most of the WFS 1.1 specification:

GetFeature requests support the "resultType" parameter, allowing clients to retrieve the number of features matched by a request without having to retrieve the actual corresponding features.

The OGC Filter 1.1 specification is supported.

It is now possible in APP-6A and MIL-STD 2525b to render a limited set of arrows (see the list below) with a certain curvedness instead of painting them straight. This is meant to be used for aviation-related arrows, which indicate a certain movement of an aircraft; painting the arrow curved accents this relation. Next to the curved arrows, it is now also possible to render a limited set of areas (see the list below) with rounded corners. This can improve the visibility in some cases and also contributes to a more realistic rendering.

Currently, the following areas can be painted with rounded corners:

Objective area (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.5.3.5, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.5.3.5)
Strong point (APP-6A: 2.X.2.2.3.5, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.3.3.5)
Battle position (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.4.1.2.*, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.4.3.1 and 2.X.2.4.3.1.1)

The aviation-related arrows in APP-6A (situated in 2.X.2.1.5.2.1) and MIL-STD 2525b (situated in 2.X.2.5.2.1) can be painted curved.

To control these new properties, the interfaces com.luciad.symbology.milstd2525b.view.gxy.ILcdMS2525bStyle and com.luciad.symbology.app6a.view.gxy.ILcdAPP6AStyle, and their respective implementations TLcdDefaultMS2525bStyle and TLcdDefaultAPP6AStyle are extended with several new methods:

setCornerSmoothness(double), getCornerSmoothness(): this property is used to indicate how much the corners of an area should be rounded. The argument is a number in the interval [0.0, 1.0]. A value of 0.0 indicates no rounding - this is the default value, as it corresponds to the behavior in the past; a value of 1.0 indicates maximum rounding.
setArrowCurvedness(double), getArrowCurvedness(): this property is used to control the curvedness of an arrow. The argument is a number in the interval [-1.0, 1.0]. A value of 0.0 indicates no curvedness - this is the default value, as it corresponds to the behavior in the past; a value of -1.0 or 1.0 indicates maximum curvedness, each in an opposite direction perpendicular to the axis of the arrow.

ILcd2DEditablePointFactory and ILcd3DEditablePointFactory and their implementations TLcdLonLatPointFactory and TLcdXYPointFactory, and TLcdLonLatHeightPointFactory and TLcdXYZPointFactory, have been removed. The factories were used in TLcd2DEditablePointList/TLcd3DEditablePointList to create new ILcdPoint from coordinates given and could be set with a static method. TLcd2/3DEditablePointList has a protected method create2/3DEditablePoint which by default returns a TLcdXY(Z)Point. This method should be overwritten to simulate setting another ILcd2DEditablePointFactory. In the LuciadMap API this is done in the ALcd2/3DEditablePolyPoint. The extension TLcdLonLatPolypoint (and its extensions TLcdLonLat(Height)Polygon and TLcdLonLat(Height)Polyline) has been adapted to create TLcdLonLat((Height)Point objects on insertion of new points through the coordinates. Since this was the only use of the ILcd2/3DEditablePointFactory in the LuciadMap API, and all extensions of ALcd2/3DEditablePolyPoint have a constructor with an ILcd2/3DEditablePointList parameter, adapting your code consists of constructing the ALcd2DEditablePolyPoint with a TLcd2DEditablePointList that returns the same ILcd2DEditablePoint as your factory would. An example for LonLatPolygons is

      private class MyLonLatPointFactory implements ILcd2DEditablePointFactory {

      public ILcd2DEditablePoint create2DEditablePoint(double aX, double aY) {
      return new MyLonLatPoint( aX, aY );
      }
      }

      TLcd2DEditablePointList.set2DEditablePointFactory(new MyLonLatPointFactory());

      TLcdLonLatPolygon polygon = new TLcdLonLatPolygon();

becomes

      private class MyLonLatPointList extends TLcd2DEditablePointList {

      protected ILcd2DEditablePoint create2DEditablePoint(double aX, double aY) {
      return new MyLonLatPoint( aX, aY );
      }
      }

      TLcdLonLatPolygon polygon = new TLcdLonLatPolygon(new MyLonLatPointList());

This fix alleviates the user of having to set the point factory for the LuciadMap implementations, which could result in the TLcdLonLatPolygon containing TLcdXYPoint objects, for example.

- Point Of Interest (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.1.1.1, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.1.1.2.4): the example character has been removed from the icon. The modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation will be used as label on its position.
- Air Control Point (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.2.1.1, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.2.1.1): the example number has been removed from the icon. The modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation will be used as label on its position.
- Communications Checkpoint (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.2.1.2, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.2.1.2): the example number has been removed from the icon. The modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation will be used as label on its position.
- Target reference point (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.4.1.1, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.4.1.1): the example number has been removed from the icon. The modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation will be used as label on its position.
- Engineer Regulating Point (APP-6A: 2.X.2.2.2.2.8, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.3.2.2.8): the example number has been removed from the icon. The modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation will be used as label on its position.
- Decontamination Point symbols (APP-6A: 2.X.2.2.4.11.1/2/3/4/5/6/7, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.3.4.8.1/2/3/4/5/6/7): the example numbers have been removed from the icons. The modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation will be used as label on their positions.
- Point/Single Target (APP-6A: 2.X.2.3.1.1.1, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.4.1.1.1): the example text/numbers have been removed from the icon. The modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation will be used as label in the upper-right corner. The modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sAdditionalInformation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sAdditionalInformation will be used for the labels in the lower-left and lower-right corners; by using the separator character ':' in this modifier, one can create these two labels: the part before ':' will appear in the lower-right corner, while the part after ':' will appear in the lower-left corner.
- Circular target (APP-6A: 2.X.2.3.1.1.2, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.4.1.1.3): the example text/number has been removed from the icon. The modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation will be used as label in the center of the circle.
- Fire Support Station (APP-6A: 2.X.2.3.1.2, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.4.1.2): the example number has been removed from the icon. The modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation will be used as label on its position.

This has been fixed.

Minimum safe distance zone (APP-6A: 2.X.2.2.4.1, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.3.4.1): the circles are now also painted when one of the points is being edited or when the symbol is being translated.
Fortified Area (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.1.3.2.8, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.1.3.4): the line segments are now connected, resulting in a fully closed area. A label for the modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation has been added.
Encirclement (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.6.1.1.1, 2.X.2.1.6.1.1.2; MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.6.2.4): A label for the modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation has been added.
Obstacle free area (APP-6A: 2.X.2.2.1.9): This symbol was erroneously painted as a point in the past; it is now painted as an area.

Circular target (APP-6A: 2.X.2.3.1.1.2, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.4.1.1.3): this symbol is now represented as a circle with two points - circle center and circle point indicating the radius - instead of an icon. This makes it possible to change the radius. A label for the modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation has been added, following MIL-STD 2525b.
Fire Support Coordination Line (APP-6A: 2.X.2.3.2.1, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.4.2.1): By using the separator character ':' in the modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation, one can create two labels: the text before ':' will be shown before the letters FSCL, while the other part of the text will be shown after the letters PL. Possible label overlappings have been removed.
Coordinated Fire Line (APP-6A: 2.X.2.3.2.2, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.4.2.2): By using the separator character ':' in the modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation, one can create two labels: the text before ':' will be shown after the letters CFL, while the other part of the text will be shown after the letters PL. Possible label overlappings have been removed.
Restrictive Fire Line (APP-6A: 2.X.2.3.2.6, MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.4.2.4): By using the separator character ':' in the modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation, one can create two labels: the text before ':' will be shown after the letters RFL, while the other part of the text will be shown after the letters PL. Possible label overlappings have been removed.

ImprovementDefense Symbology

A number of enhancements have been made in the visualization of the APP-6A and MIL-STD 2525b symbology:

Boundaries (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.1.2.1.1.1, 2.X.2.1.1.2.1.1.2, 2.X.2.1.1.2.1.1.3, 2.X.2.1.1.2.1.2, 2.X.2.1.1.2.1.3, 2.X.2.1.1.2.1.4; MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.1.2.1): The scaling of the hostile indicator "ENY" label and the echelon/unique designator labels has been improved, to prevent overlapping. By using the separator character ':' in the modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation, one can create two labels: the text before ':' will be used at one side of the boundary, the other part of the text at the other side.
Fort (APP-6A: 2.X.2.2.3.2; MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.3.3.2): This symbol was erroneously painted as a point in the past; it is now painted as an area with proper decorations. A label for the modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sUniqueDesignation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sUniqueDesignation has been added.
Mined Area (APP-6A: 2.X.2.2.1.6.9; MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.3.1.6.4): The scaling of the mine indicator "M" and hostile indicator "ENY" has been improved. A label for the modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sAdditionalInformation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sAdditionalInformation has been added.
Friendly encirclement (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.6.1.1.1): This symbol was erroneously painted as a point in the past; it is now painted as an area with proper decorations.
Encirclement (APP-6A: 2.X.2.1.6.1.1.1, 2.X.2.1.6.1.1.2; MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.2.6.2.4): When the orientation of the area was counter-clockwise, the decorations were painted at the wrong side of the polygon. This has been fixed.
Anti-tank ditch (APP-6A: 2.X.2.2.1.3.1): This symbol was not painted correctly in the past; it is now painted as a polyline with proper decorations.
General minefields (APP-6A: 2.X.2.2.1.6.1, 2.X.2.2.1.6.2 ; MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.3.1.6.2): These areas are now filled with mines.
Anti-tank minefield (APP-6A: 2.X.2.2.1.6.5): This symbol was erroneously painted as a point in the past; it is now painted as an area filled with mines. A label for the modifier ILcdAPP6ACoded.sAdditionalInformation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sAdditionalInformation has been added.
Scatterable mines (APP-6A: 2.X.2.2.1.6.6; MIL-STD 2525b: 2.X.3.1.6.1): This symbol was erroneously painted as a point in the past; it is now painted as an area filled with mines, together with the symbol indicator "S". Labels for the modifiers ILcdAPP6ACoded.sAdditionalInformation / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sAdditionalInformation, ILcdAPP6ACoded.sDateTimeGroup / ILcdMS2525bCoded.sDateTimeGroup have been added.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

TLcyMapAddOn: Previously, the map addon was configured to create one map when the addon was loaded. This default was changed to create no map at all when the map addon is started ('mapcomponentcount' is set to '0' instead of to '1' in 'map_addon.cfg'). This change was made because now a default workspace is loaded at startup. This default workspace already contains one map, so there is no longer a need to create a map which will shortly after be replaced by the map of the workspace.

ImprovementLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

TLcyTeaAddOn: when the terrain analysis addon is loaded, the distance ruler on the map is adapted and can now measures distances between points, taking into account the terrain data loaded underneath the path between the two points.

Bug fixLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

TLcyGotoAreaOfInterestAddOn: The workspace codec no longer assumes non-null values for the group-descriptors and submenus.

Upgrade considerationLucy (LuciadLightspeed)

Lucy now supports workspaces. This means you can restore the application to the state it was when you stored it. Note that not all addons store their settings. Furthermore, note that not all addons that support workspace management, store every single property. Please refer to the LucyUserGuide.pdf for more information on what exactly is supported. This new addon adds some new menu items in the 'File' menu: 'Open workspace', 'Save workspace', 'Save workspace as' and 'Set default workspace'. When the application starts, a default workspace is loaded. This default workspace can be set in 'default_preferences.cfg' or by using 'File | Set default workspace'. This default workspace setting is made persistent by the TLcyPersistentPreferencesAddOn (see other release note). Previously the TLcyMapAddOn used to create a map on startup. The TLcyMapOverViewAddOn used to create an overview on startup. They no longer do this, because the default workspace now contains all that information (how many maps to create, where to put the overview, ...). When upgrading an existing application to this new Lucy version, you might want to disable the workspace management. You can do so by taking these steps:

Remove TLcyWorkspaceAddon from your addons.xml file
Set the property 'mapcomponentcount' to '1' in 'map_addon.cfg' (see other release note for details)
Set the property 'map_overview.new_overview_on_startup' to 'true' in 'mapoverview_addon.cfg' (see other release note for details)

The WFS now supports the MAXFEATURES parameter, allowing clients to restrict the number of features returned by a query.

ImprovementTerrain Analysis Engine

TLcdP2PFactory and TLcdRadarP2PFactory have been enhanced. They have the ability to

support points in any reference,
support terrain data in any reference,
control the sampling rate of the underlying terrain data,
return a point list in any given reference.

The results are stored in implementations of the ILcdExtendedPoint2Pointintervisibility which is an extension of ILcdPoint2PointIntervisibility. The result implements ILcdPointList with the input points contained as points in a given reference.

ImprovementTerrain Analysis Engine

TLcdLOSFactory and TLcdRadarCoverage have been enhanced. They have the ability to

support center points in any reference,
support terrain data in any reference,
return LOS/radar rasters in any reference, with a pixel density independent of the underlying terrain data,
return LOS/radar rasters which contain minimum or maximum or nearest neighbor values,
return LOS/radar rasters which contain altitudes above terrain or above mean sea level (AMSL),
control the sampling rate of the underlying terrain data.

The network.graph.partition package has been reorganized. The interface ILcdBoundaryEditablePartitionedGraph and ILcdEditablePartitionedGraph have been removed. TLcdEditablePartitionedGraph has been renamed to TLcdPartitionedGraph and extends now TLcdLimitedEditablePartitionedGraph.

Upgrade considerationGraph and Routing Engine

Event support is added to all graph interfaces and implementations. All existing calls to graph methods, requiring an ILcdFireEventMode, can be called with ILcdFireEventMode.NO_EVENT to obtain the same effect as before.

Upgrade considerationGraph and Routing Engine

All model descriptor interfaces (ILcdGDFDatasetModelDescriptor, ILcdGDFLayerModelDescriptor, IlcdGDFSectionModelDescriptor) have been replaced by concrete classes.

Upgrade considerationOGC Server

When doing a GetFeature request, earlier versions of the WFS looked for any <PropertyName> elements in the "wfs" namespace. The WFS specification, however, places these elements in the "ogc" namespace. The WFS has been modified to conform with the specification, which means that applications may need to be updated accordingly.

Upgrade considerationAviation Standards

The interface com.luciad.ais.model.route.ILcdEditableRoute has been extended with two methods removeSegment(ILcdRouteSegment) and removeSegmentAt(int) which make it possible to remove ILcdRouteSegment objects. To remain compatible, each implementation of this interface (either directly or through an extension) should provide an implementation for these methods:

removeSegment(ILcdRouteSegment) removes the given ILcdRouteSegment object from the route.
removeSegmentAt(int) removes the ILcdRouteSegment with the given index from the route.

public ILcyLucyEnv createLucyEnv( JTabbedPane[] aApplicationPaneContainerArray, ILcyMenuBar aMainMenuBar, boolean aMergeMenuBars );
public ILcyLucyEnv createLucyEnv( Container aSingleMapContainer, JTabbedPane[] aApplicationPaneContainerArray, ILcyMenuBar aMainMenuBar, boolean aMergeMenuBars );
public ILcyLucyEnv createLucyEnv( Container[] aContainers, ILcyMenuBar aMainMenuBar, boolean aMergeMenuBars );

These allow you to create a custom frontend with your own ILcyMenuBar (e.g. using the new TLcyMenuBar). This allows to define the menu bar ordering.

public ILcyLucyEnv createLucyEnv( ILcyApplicationPaneFactory aApplicationPaneFactory, ILcyMenuBar aMainMenuBar, boolean aMergeMenuBars );

These allow to automatically merge the menu bars when creating a custom frontend, similar to TLcyTabbedPaneLucyEnvFactory.

ImprovementAviation Standards

Changes to the API parts that were previously available from AIS. These should have been rarely used in applications using ARINC or DAFIF decoders, as they were undocumented. If they were used explicitly in an application, the changes may not be compatible with that application.

com.luciad.ais.symbology.TLcdAISDefaultPointPainterSymbolProvider is now a standard ILcdObjectIconProvider. Support for separate selection or snap icons has been removed. This can be implemented by using separate instances of TLcdAISDefaultPointPainterSymbolProvider with different colors.
ILcdDomainFactory has been renamed and made into an abstract class ALcdAISDomainObjectFactory.

ImprovementAviation Standards

Changes to the DAFIF decoder:

Support for object filtering is added. The filter is applied before objects are added to the decoded model. Documentation and sample code for filtering has been added.
A TLcdDAFIFProcedureDecoder and TLcdDAFIFIndependentProcedureDecoder was added that decodes procedures from an DAFIF file.
Next to the TLcdDAFIFDefaultLayerFactory, a TLcdDAFIFLayerConfiguration class was added. It follows the same idea of specifying a number of style properties for DAFIF data, but can apply them on an exisiting layer.

ImprovementAviation Standards

Changes to the ARINC decoder:

Support for object filtering is added. The filter is applied before objects are added to the decoded model. Documentation and sample code for filtering has been added.
A TLcdARINCProcedureHandler was added that decodes procedures from an ARINC file.
