*********************************************************************
Version 1.7.0 release rev.3977
New Features
* add printing capability to PDF, Printer in OJ CORE (SkyPrinter)
* add Calculate Distances plugin: calculate distances between two sets of geometries
* add Move Selected Layer Plugin
* add new PostGIS driver with writable capabilities
* add plugins for Linear Referencing (menu tools > generate)
* enhance image loading support
- add new readers based on Image Commons (Apache) and ImageIO
- image readers should be able to open archives (images + worldfiles)
- readers gather supported formats internally :
IOGraphicImageFactory: [jpg, bmp, wbmp, jpeg, png, gif]
JAIGraphicImageFactory: [bmp, fpx, jpg, pnm, wbmp, tif, jpeg, png, gif, tiff, xtiff]
CommonsImageFactory: [psd and others], see
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-imaging/formatsupport.html
- with GDAL read support for Windows/Linux (slow/unstable in part) [jp2, ecw, mrsid and others], see
https://github.com/geosolutions-it/imageio-ext/wiki/GDAL-framework-and-plugins#gdal-supported-formats
needs downloadable extra libraries and OJ PLUS, see
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/jump-pilot/index.php?title=Working_with_Raster#Referenced_Image_reader
* add relate (DE-9IM) operator in Simple Query plugin
* Analysis > Geometry function: add 3 functions from JTS
- MinimumBoundingCircle
- MinimumDiameter
- MinimumBoundingRectangle
Improvements
* #364 AutoAssignAttribute : make it possible to set a date
* add two options to extract segments to make it more usable
* FR 204: separate left/right single sided buffer option of Buffer PlugIn

* can read inconsistent shapefile/dbf where shape number <> record number
* reference image loader is faster
* can read dbf files > 2 Gb
* attributes with type Object can now be saved to dbf using toString()
* enhance compressed files / archive open support
- add support for xz (xz, txz, tar.xz)
- add preliminary support for 7zip (only LZMA2 & BZIP compression for now)
- reworked naming of layers opened from compressed files or archives
