[udig-devel] uDig 1.1.M2 (Feature Complete Release)

[Richard Gould <rgould@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After a couple of harrowing weeks we have put together a release 
containing all the features that will be in the final uDig 1.1 release. 
 From now until the release we will only be applying bug fixes, 
performance tweaks and usabilty problems.

For those who are new to the list you can find the list of changes since 
uDig 1.0.5 at http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/EN/What%27s+new
The changes since 1.1.M1 include a Selection View that shows a layer's 
selected features in a table, similar to Arc View.  At the moment it is 
read-only but it will become the Feature Table that everyone has been 
asking for.

An effect dubbed the "Mylar" effect has been added.  Currently it is 
always on but next release you will be able to toggle the effect.  Add 
two layers that overlap each other.  Select one layer then the other and 
watch as the alpha blending changes.

A complete suite of edit tools are available, including split tools, 
difference tools, rectangle and circle tools.  There are still numerous 
bugs but please try them out and report back to us the things that you 
like and dislike, what really surprised you, etc...

Cheers,

The uDig task force
