Changelog for package tile_map
0.1.4 (2016-10-23)
- Rewrite tile_map loading to be more reliable
This changes how the tile_map plugin handles making network requires for tiles.
It will now:
- Use thread conditions to prompt loading rather than spinning
- Prioritize loading tiles in the visible area
- Retry a failed network request up to 5 times
- Not discard tile requests if there are more than 100 in the queue
This changes should significantly reduce (if not completely eliminate) the
number of tiles that fail to load and hopefully make tiles within the visible
area appear faster when there are many in the queue.
Fixes #342 and #421.
- Adding support for Bing Maps (#408)
This makes a number of changes in the tile_map plugin in order to support
different types of tile servers, including Bing Maps. Notable changes include:
- TileSource is now an abstract class
- WMTS server-specific behavior has been moved into a new WmtsSource class
- BingSource provides support for obtaining tiles from Bing Maps
- The UI for specifying server URLs has changed
- Prefix and coordinate order are no longer separate fields
- In URLs for WMTS sources, the variables {level}, {x}, and {y} will be substituted with appropriate values when tiles are requested
- Rather than generating hashes for image tiles based on their URLs, hashes are now generated by the TileSource implementations in order to support sources that can pull tiles from multiple servers
- Idle performance has been improved by removing redundant recalculations of the map view
- Added a dependency on libjsoncpp
Resolves #227
- Giving tile_map an interface overhaul
MapQuest has turned off their public API for map tiles, so this plugin needed some work. I have:
- Removed the MapQuest sources
- Made the interface for adding new sources more powerful
- Overhauled how sources are saved and loaded under the hood
- Added a button to reset the current tile cache
Resolves #402
