Mapnik

Released: October 12, 2015

(Packaged from e161253)

Summary

- Removed `MAPNIK_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` define / `mapnik-config --version` not longer reports `-pre` for non-release versions.
Use `mapnik-config --git-revision` instead (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/issues/3123)
- Renamed `nik2img` command to `mapnik-render`
- PostGIS: Fixed handling of all attributes when `key_field_as_attribute=false` (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/issues/3120)
- PostGIS: Fixed parsing of `key_field_as_attribute` as boolean: now `true/false` can be used in addition to `0/1`

Released: October 7, 2015

(Packaged from 3cebe97)

Summary

- PostGIS plugin: added `key_field_as_attribute` option. Defaults to `True` to preserve current behavior of having the `key_field` added both
as an attribute and as the `feature.id` value. If `key_field_as_attribute=false` is passed then the attribute is discarded (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/issues/3115)
- CSV plugin has been further optimized and has gained experimental support for on-disk indexes (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/issues/3089)
- SVG parser now fallsback to using `viewbox` if explicit dimensions are lacking (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/issues/3081)
- Visual tests: new command line arguments `--agg`, `--cairo`, `--svg`, `--grid` for selecting renderers (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/pull/3074)
- Visual tests: new command line argument `--scale-factor` or abbreviated `-s` for setting scale factor (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/pull/3074)
- Fixed parsing colors in hexadecimal notation (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/pull/3075)
- Removed mapnik::Feature type alias of mapnik::feature_impl (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/pull/3099)
- Fixed linking order for plugins to avoid possible linking errors on linux systems (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/issues/3105)

- CSV.input uses memory mapped file by default on *nix.
- Updated bundled fonts to the latest version
- Topojson.input - fixed geometry_index logic which was causing missing features
- Fixed SVG file loading from unicode paths (https://github.com/mapnik/node-mapnik/issues/517)

Summary

- CSV.input: plug-in has been re-factored to minimise memory usage and to improve handling of larger input.

- CSV.input: added internal spatial index (boost::geometry::index::tree) for fast `bounding box` queries (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/pull/3010)
- Fixed deadlock in recursive datasource registration via zerebubuth (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/pull/3038)
- Introduced new command line argument `--limit` or `-l` to limit number of failed tests via talaj (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/pull/2996)

Released: August 12, 2015

Summary

- Fixed an issue with fields over size of `int32` in `OGR` plugin (https://github.com/mapnik/node-mapnik/issues/499)
