been reduced to a minimum making it easier switch between different zoom
levels when using TrekBuddy
! Extreme performance break-in in grid-mode fixed

selected grid
1.5: (2009-08-01)

used alternatively to the user defined proxy
+ New regional map sources (Poland): ump.waw.pl and docelu.pl
+ Map sources can now be disabled which hides them from the list
+ Merging different layers via drag & drop
+ Custom map sources can be defined via settings.xml (see README.HTM)

~ Java requirement has changed: Now at least Java 1.6 is required!
~ Profile saving updated to new atlas structure
~ Fullscreen mode is currently unavailable
~ Google Maps, Earth, Mapmaker, Maps China url updated
~ Settings.xml format has changed
~ Max zoom for Cycloatlas changed from 14 to 15
~ Removed OpenArialMap map source
~ Panels on the left can be collapsed to save space
! Editing the atlas content while map creation in progress resulted in
unusable/abnormal atlases (see bug #2819613)
1.1: (2009-05-13)
+ New output format: JPEG with different quality levels
+ added map source Microsoft Maps China (Ditu)

! "Open atlas folder" does now work on Linux (Gnome and may be Kde)
1.0: (2009-04-10)
+ Reload current map view by pressing "F5"
+ First experimental implementation of color reducing implemented (requires
additional library "Java Advanced Imaging": https://jai.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html
Download the library and place the Jar[s] in the same directory as TrekBuddyAtlasCreator
+ Experimental: Color reduced (<16) png files are saved using an own implementation
that writes real 4 bit PNG files (instead to the default Java one that only creates
8 bit or true color files)
+ added map source OSM hiking: http://opentiles.com/nop/
+ added map source OpenArialMap
~ Maximum map size reduced to 32767 (1 pixel less)
~ Atlas output format can now be specified: Tared or untared atlas. The created atlas
is always created in the folder "atlases" - the folder "atlasestared" is no longer used.
~ "ozi" / "tac_tmp" directory no longer used. Instead one temporary tar file per map
layer is created (and later deleted) in the default system temp directory
~ fixed GoogleMapMaker map source
! Loading tile store information in settings dialog blocked GUI
0.9.7: (2009-03-05)
+ New map sources (full support): Microsoft Maps, Earth, Hybrid,
Cycloatlas (Czech Republic only)
+ New map sources (partial support): Multimap.com
+ Window position, size and state (maximized or not) is saved
+ Preview map allows zoom move/zoom via keyboard controls (patch by Martin Loetzsch)
+ Fullscreen mode hides left panel and places control inside the preview map
(patch by Martin Loetzsch)

+ Tooltip of "tiles-to-download-counter-label" (located right to the label
"Zoom levels (..)") now shows the breakdown of the number of tiles
to the different zoom levels including the area calculation
~ Exceptions that occur while downloading/creating an atlas are now displayed
in an dialog showing detailed information about the system and the exception
~ Updated Google Maps url & removed "Galileo" appendix
~ New experimental implementation for creating tile of custom size.
Disdvantage: Much slower that the algorithm before
Advantage: Only constant memory needed (approx. less than 10 MB)
~ Using custom tile size now does not concert the tiles to png format.
Instead the format used by the maps source is used.
0.9.5: (2008-10-27)
+ Detailed log files can be created by providing a configuration file log4j.xml
(see README.txt for details).

changeable via settings dialog

opening a new TCP connection for each tile

different map sources
preview loads in background automatically
easy zooming (mouse wheel) and movement (right mouse button)
~ Tar generation rewritten, each tar is now only opened one time, not
once for each tile to be added (increases tar creation in case of a virus
scanner being active)
0.8:
+ Added xml based settings file via Java Properties
+ Added possibility to change tile size for the downloaded tiles.
+ Added possibility to set map size in atlas. Giving the possibility to create
large atlases

validation of the xml data at application start.
