Version 1.3.0 27/12/2010

• This new version can only be used for QGIS v. 1.6.0 and up!

New functionality:

• contents of plugin can now be stored in project. This is a major enhancement because now you can, after loading de wion messages, also add your own design layers or layers with dimensioning. When project is created and is saved from wion plugin in project, immediately everything is back in same state as when you saved the project. This means you can open pdf documents from wion message and use themes to set visibility.

• plugin remembers width and height of plugin window you used before.

• loading a zipped folder under Ubuntu.

  • loading Wion Result (25.5 -> 16.5 seconds)
  • closing loaded Wion Result (9.5 -> 0.5 seconds)
  • changing visibility of a Theme (6.5 -> 2.3 seconds) So I believe a new release is justifiable. (Performance figures are based on using testmessage 09G267447_1 which can be downloaded from www.klicviewer.nl on my own pretty old Windows PC).

Version 1.2.0 28/10/2010 New functionality:

1. added functionality for improved control on visibilities of layers.
