Hi all, Cross posting this with the osgEarth forum.
We've just tagged the osgEarth 1.4 release, you can get the latest code from SVN at: http://svn.osgearth.org/tags/osgearth_1.4_T2010-08-27/ You can also grab tarballs from: http://wush.net/websvn/osgearth/listing.php?repname=osgearth&path=%2Ftags%2F Go to http://osgearth.org for download instructions and documentation. Highlights of the osgEarth 1.4 release: Major features: * osgEarthDrivers API - Every osgEarth driver now has its own header-only API for configuring and loading layer types programmatically. * osgEarthSymbology - A new library for creating, manipulating, and symbolizing vector geometry. * Controls Toolkit - This osgEarthUtil namespace is a lightweight 2D UI toolkit for rendering HUDs, popups and text overlays. * Unlimited Image Layers - The new "composite" layering technique lets you add a virtually unlimited number of image layers to your map without multi-pass rendering. * Layer Opacity Control - New global uniforms let you control the relative opacity of each layer at runtime. * Rasterizing Feature Driver - The new "agglite" driver rasterizes vector data into image tiles and overlays them on the map. This driver uses the "lite" version of the AGG rendering * Inline Geometry - You can now specify inline geometry in a .earth file (instead of loading it from a file) using the OGC-WKT geometry notation. * Vertical Datums - Properly display EGM96 (MSL) data such as DTED using the new vdatum support * Blacklisting - TileSources? now blacklist tiles that have been requested and couldn't be retrieved so they aren't requested again, avoiding hammering servers with bad requests. * Data Extents - TileSources? report where they actually have data so that osgEarth doesn't make unnecessary requests to them. Useful when you have a server with many inset areas. Other new features: * AutoClipPlaneHandler - automatically optimize your clip planes based on distance to the horizon * SQLite caching - new "sqlite" cache type stores tiles in a sqlite db. * NASA WorldWind elevation reader * Graticule - lat/long lines (geocentric only - beta code) * OceanSurfaceNode - simple animated ocean geometry * WMS-T - preliminary support for time-animated layers * HTTP authentication support * Mask layers * UnifiedCubeProfile - for ingesting cube/quadsphere data sources * Triangulating Interpolator - new elevation interpolator for sim correlation support * Units - new class for converting linear and angular units Noteworthy fixes: * Better mime-type support in HTTPClient * Frame coherency for EarthManipulator tethering * Better memory management in sequential/preemptive modes * Better proxy support * Custom read/write mutex fixes some rare deadlock issues * Better vector rendering in some drivers * Avoiding making repeat requests for tiles that could not be retrieved in the database pager. Thanks for your support!
