[Chameleon] Chameleon 2.4 beta1

Fri Mar 24 08:43:36 EST 2006

Hi,

Just to make a note, it seems the link for downloading this new version
is not correct. I went to
http://chameleon.maptools.org/index.phtml?page=downloads.html and tried
to download it, but it tries to download
http://chameleon.maptools.org/dl/chameleon/chameleon_ms4w-2.4-beta1-2006
0323.tar.gz and the correct one is
http://chameleon.maptools.org/dl/chameleon/chameleon-2.4-beta1-20060323.
tar.gz

Sorry if I am wrong

regards, dejan

> Hi All,

> This is to inform everyone that the Chameleon 2.4 release 
> cycle has begun. Chameleon 2.4 beta 1 is now available on

> For developpers, there's now a new branch in CVS: branch-2-4 
> Please use this branch for any fix in 2.4 and keep in mind 
> that only bug

> should go in that branch from now on. For new features, use 
> the main CVS version.
> 
> In the next few weeks we won't add new feature but take 
> feedback on the new release and make bug fixes. So please

> This release include a bunch of bug fixes and enhancements. 
> I'll try to summarize them here.

> Changes
> -------
> 
> One of the big change of this version is in the language 
> handling. The MLT (Multi-Lingual Translator Module) now allow 
> widget developpers to maintain language files more easily via 
> text files instead of DBF. Widget 
> directories
> now contains one file per language currently supported in Chameleon 
> (english
> or en-CA, french or fr-CA and dutch or nl-NL). The process to 
> add a new 
> one is
> now simplier. Feel free to contribute new language! The 
> migration of custom widgets to the new language handling 
> should be very straight-forward.
> 
> Another related change of this release is the addition of a 
> new language: dutch.
> 
> The other big addition is the support for popins in 
> Chameleon. Popins are just like popups, but open inside the 
> main windows. This gives a bunch of advantages like not being 
> affected by popup blockers. Currently only the MapNotes 
> widget is configured to support this new feature. It is 
> planned to migrate all Chameleon widgets to the new popin 
> archtecture as we get feedback from the community. So let us 
> know what you think of it.
