Hi, this build features several experimental optimizations:
- updating terrain while panning/scrolling is now faster by an order of magnitude (or more); this allows extremely large maps without measurable performance penalty (e.g. the map of a whole continent) - terrain data is cached on SD card; when cached, terrain loading during startup takes only a small fraction of a second - the way point parser does not attempt to load the altitude from terrain if the input file specifies an altitude (another big speedup) - menu buttons can now be translated (first code contribution from Helmut Rohs) - disabled double click detection on form buttons; you can now click through the page list as fast as you want - holding (and releasing) the mouse button / touch screen on an info box for more than 2 seconds lets you reconfigure the infobox - several Linux rendering fixes In other news: - Tobias is writing a new map generator, which will soon replace the old one - Rob is working on finally fixing AAT support (which has had some regression after the new task engine was integrated by John in January) - I will soon include the Linux build in my 6.0 pre-releases. We're on schedule for the Android version of XCSoar. Expect first demos to appear on the Android market by the end of the year. http://max.kellermann.name/download/xcsoar/nightly/2010-09-26/ http://max.kellermann.name/projects/xcsoar/ Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Xcsoar-user mailing list Xcsoar-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcsoar-user
