Hello DSpatial developers, After a long, hard slog, version 0.3.2 of the DSpatial kernel was released on Sourceforge today. While minor in versioning, there are some dramatic improvements and extensions to the kernel. These changes made an update of other downloads necessary as well, so the HDF driver and the gridmath module also have a new release available. In addition, there is a new module, terra, with four operations to derive surface-related parameters from Digital Elevation Models. Everyone is advised to start using these new releases and discard older code. Documentation of DSpatial and the associated modules are *still* sorely lacking. Especially needed right now are detailed documents on programming with the DSpatial kernel and the extension modules, and on how to develop additional raster drivers. Since nobody stepped forward to take on this task, the main developer will now lay creative development to a temporary rest and focus on documenting what is there already. Which is not to say that all is lost, because with the new DSpModuleBase facilities writing new analytical procedures is a snap. If you think you have a fantastic algorithm waiting to be included in DSpatial you should take a look at the DSpTSurface unit to see how things might be organized. Have fun. Thanks, DSpatial development team |
