Chameleon 2.2 beta1 2005-05-06
==============================
This is an interim release of Chameleon 2.2, the current development
version of Chameleon. This release combines all the bug fixes found in
Chameleon 2.0.1 (if not superceded by new features) plus several new
features and changes as listed below.
This release is in preparation for releasing Chameleon 2.2. At this
point in time, no other features are planned for 2.2.
The current plan is to release a final version of Chameleon 2.2 prior to
the MapServer Users Meeting (mid June). The tentative schedule for
release is:
early May - Chameleon 2.2 beta 1
mid May - Chameleon 2.2 beta 2
end May - Chameleon 2.2 release candidate 1
early June - Chameleon 2.2 final
New Features
------------
- bug 972: added user authentication capabilites into the core of
Chameleon. Samples are in:
chameleon/htdocs/samples/htdocs/sample_admin.phtml and sample_user.phtml
- added miscellaneous new artwork (icons and buttons) to default skin
- bug 990: added support in chameleon.php to load resource files. A
resource file is an arbitrary PHP file that is associated with
regionalized templates when they are registered with the Chameleon
application. Chameleon will 'include' the resource file and then
execute the function loadResources which is provided in the resource
file. It is expected that the developer would issue a series of $oApp->
setVar() calls and use [$var$] substitutions to create a multilingual
template without using multiple template files.
- added experimental php_chameleon module intended to replace wmsparse
executable to resolve
- added new widget LayerLabels (contributed by GeoDan). This
widget creates an annotation layer that shows labels for a selected layer.
A sample of this widget has been added to both the enhanced and the others
samples. It works with both local and OGC layers.
Changes
-------
- bug 942: started removing widget-specific code from MapDHTML
- modified SQLQuery widget to support Postgres (previously it only
supported MySQL).
- substantially modified how MapTips work to make it more flexible for
mouseover handling. This probably breaks existing uses of MapTips. The sample
application (enhanced) has been modified to show the new use. In particular,
you should now provide your own callback functions for onmouseover and
onmouseout if you don't like the defaults. If you have questions on this,
ask via the mailing list.
- modified ZoomIn and ZoomOut widgets to support submit-on-click style
operation
