[Cumulus-devel] Cumulus 2.3.0 released

[Axel Pauli]

Hi list,

a new cumulus release with number 2.3.0 is available for download for Maemo 
OS 2008 Diablo. It added new features and fixes some bugs. The new features 
are:

1) Outlandings are read too from the Welt2000 file and displayed at the map 
and in all lists. A new option has been added to Welt2000 configuration's 
tabulator to activate or deactivate the loading of outlandings. Outlandings 
are handled also by the reachable list.

If you want to use the new feature, acticate the outlanding load check box 
(default is false) in the configuration menu and install a new Welt2000.txt 
file from here:

http://www.segelflug.de/vereine/welt2000/download/WELT2000.TXT

in your airfield directory. The old file is not useable for outlandings 
because cumulus has filtered out them during first read. The Welt2000 file 
contains a lot of outlanding points from outlanding catalogs, e.g. 
Schwarzwald and Alps regions.

One request from my side. If you find wrong entries in the outlanding data 
or there should be additional outlanding added, please send such updates to 
Mike, the maintainer of the Welt2000 data file per Email (miko37_AT_gmx.de, 
replace _AT_ by a @).

2) All runway directions are handled now according to the Welt2000 
definitions. That is a little bit tricky but used up to now. The waypoint 
editor was adapted to the new handling. Two runway directions can be 
defined via combo boxes. A valid runway directions comprises the range 
01...36. The value -- is used for unknown. The coding schema is the 
following:

-09/27 means there is one runway with two useable directions. Note! The 
difference between the two directions must be always 18.

-09/09 means there is one runway with only one useable direction.

-09/18 means there are two runways 09/27 and 18/36 with two useable 
directions. Note! The difference between the two directions must be unequal 
18.

3) The display of lables at the map has been modified. There exist now four 
different kind of labels and each one can be toggled via the menu or by 
using a shortcut key. The following label categories exist:

Airfield labels, shortcut key A
Outlanding labels, shortcut key O
Taskpoint labels, shortcut key T
Waypoint labels, shortcut key W

Extra label information can be toggled by using shortcut key E.

Airfields, Outlandings and Taskpoints carry always the importance attribute 
high. Waypoints can carry three different importance attributes (high, 
normal, low), set or modifyable by using the waypoint editor. The drawing 
scale borders can be adapted in the configuration settings of Map Objects.

Have fun with testing cumulus, feedbacks are always welcome.

Greetings Axel
