What's new in ILWIS Open 3.6:

November 6th, 2009

New features are:
· Inclusion of GDAL in much the same way as Geogateway once was included. Non ILWIS raster data can be used natively in ILWIS. This is a big improvement with respect to the previous support of GDAL.
· Postgres tables and Postgis point and segment maps can be accessed natively from a Postgis database. A first implementation has ben made to access these sources of data.
· User interface for Import has been improved to support a plug-in model for imports.
· Imports now largely follow a plug-in model (some old ones excepted). New imports can be added without changing ILWIS.
· The plug-in model has been extended to cover plug-in,s stored in zip files, that need their own folder structure to organize their functionality.
· Surface Energy Balancing (SEBS) has been extended and improved.
· Improved installation program
· Bug fixes

What's new in ILWIS Open 3.5.02:

April 14th, 2009

ILWIS 3.5 extends the functionality offered by ILWIS Open 3.4. New user features include:
· ILWIS as an OGC compliant WMS client. It can now process GetCapabilities requests and make the WMS layers (or combinations of them) available as raster maps in ILWIS (domain color). These can be combined with any local data.
· Surface energy balances with preprocssing functionality (SEBS). ILWIS is now able to produce Surface Energy Balance maps and carry out the chain of preprocssing to create the products needed for processing.
New developer features include:
· ILWIS is now a MS Visual 2008 project.
· ILWIS applications and applications user interface now form a plug-in system. One can extend ILWIS applications without changing anything to ILWIS.
· ILWIS user interface and ILWIS analytical functionality have now been completely seperated making it easier to write server side applications for ILWIS.
