NASA WorldWind v1.5.0 - Release Notes

Released January 21, 2013

Note: this is a mirror of the NASA WWJ v1.5.0 release, created for posterity.

Adds support for Open Street Map, text decluttering, applying Earth gravitational model offsets, and other features.

Archived Subversion Release

This archived World Wind Java release has been migrated to GitHub from the World Wind Subversion server. Subversion hosts the original v1.5.0 source code. The source code links in the assets reference the initial commit to GitHub and are incorrect.

v1.5.0 (January 21, 2013)

  • Added global text decluttering. See the ClutterFilter and Declutterable interfaces.
  • Added support for refreshing KML icons.
  • Added support for applying Earth Gravitational Model offsets (EGM96) to EllipsoidalGlobe.
  • Added support for HighResolutionTerrain line intersection.
  • Added an OpenStreetMap layer provided by a NASA hosted MapServer instance.
  • Added delegate owner support to ScreenImage.
  • Added a section to the Javadoc overview outlining the behavior of World Wind path types.
  • Added static utility methods for equirectangular interpolation to LatLon.
  • Added the PersistSessionState example, which demonstrates how to persist a session's layer and view state.
  • Removed erroneous inclusion of the BGCOLOR parameter in WMS elevation requests. This parameter causes GeoServer to return an exception.
  • Increased the texture cache size from 300 MB to 500 MB.
  • Improved shutdown behavior by simplifying automatic retrieval of WMS capabilities documents in WMSTiledImageLayer and WMSBasicElevationModel.
  • Improved the performance of SectorGeometryList.getSurfacePoint.
  • Repaired Path and Polyline's handling of the LINEAR path type.
  • Repaired Path and Polyline's handling of the LOXODROME alias for RHUMB_LINE path types.
  • Repaired an OpenGL state leak of GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER binding in terrain rendering.
  • Repaired an OpenGL state leak of the normal pointer binding in COLLADA models, which caused a JVM crash on certain machines.
  • Repaired BasicShapeAttributes' handling of the enableLighting attribute in its restorable state.
  • Repaired Matrix.getInverse, which now returns a correct inverse for all nonsingular matrices.
  • Fixed an issue where World Wind does not compile on Java 7 in IntelliJ IDEA.
  • Fixed a regression bug where Box ignores the R axis while computing its effective radius.
  • Fixed a bug where enabling Path lighting caused the JVM to crash.
  • Fixed a bug where enabling ExtrudedPolygon side lighting with cap lighting disabled caused a NullPointerException.
  • Fixed a bug where MIL-STD-2525 tactical symbols throw an exception when the OpenGL Context changes.
  • Fixed a bug where the MIL-STD-2525 Fire Support Line graphic appears in the wrong place.
  • Fixed a bug preventing COLLADA models from updating after a position change.
  • Fixed a bug in Triangle.intersectTriangleTypes preventing triangle strip intersection from operating correctly.
  • Fixed a bug in WMSTiledImageLayer causing WMS 1.3 GetMap requests to use the WMS 1.1.1 "srs" query parameter for coordinate system.
  • Fixed a bug in WMSBasicElevationModel causing WMS 1.3 GetMap requests to use the WMS 1.1.1 "srs" query parameter for coordinate system.
  • Fixed a bug where clicking in browser balloons or view controls prevents focus traversal.
  • Fixed a bug where the MeasureToolUsage example hangs on Mac.
  • Fixed a bug where the WorldWindDiagnostics app hangs on Mac.
  • Fixed a bug where the Path shape changes the default shape attributes and affects the color of other AbstractShapes.
  • Fixed a bug preventing the copying of text from browser balloons.
  • Fixed a bug where keyboard input did not work in browser balloons.
  • Modified MIL-STD-2525 symbol code parsing to correctly handle symbol modifier codes without an echelon in the second character.
  • Modified MIL-STD-2525 symbol code parsing to correctly compose the modifier code for the feint/dummy installation modifier.
  • Modified MIL-STD-2525 TacticalGraphicFactory to enable application configuration of MIL-STD-2525 implementation classes.
  • Modified MIL-STD-2525 TacticalGraphicSymbol to enable subclasses to change and extend the symbol layout.
  • Modified SurfaceText to add control over the text size in meters.
  • Modified the World Wind release build script to include the resources directory. This directory is missing from the World Wind 1.3 and 1.4 releases, and will be included in all subsequent releases.
