New MapProxy 1.0.0 release

• 2011-03-03 11:11:11+01:00

We are finally ready to announce the release of MapProxy 1.0.0. It contains lots of major and minor improvements.

The latest release is available at: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/MapProxy

To upgrade within your virtualenv:

$ pip install -U --no-deps MapProxy

Updated documentation is available at: https://mapproxy.org/docs/1.0.0/

Upgrade notes

A bug, introduced in a previous release, prevented that the tile locks get removed. This issue is solved since 1.0.0b2 and MapProxy will remove existing lock files on the first access to the cache. This might take a while if the directory already contains a lot of lock files (probably thousands and more).

We suggest that you remove the complete lock directories by hand before upgrading:

rm -r cache_dir/*/tile_locks

New features

Some noteworthy improvements are:

mapproxy-seed

mapproxy-seed got a new, flexible configuration format (the old format is still supported). You can now define multiple seed and cleanup tasks and call each separately from the command line interface (--seed and --cleanup options).

It is now possible to reseed specific areas without triggering any cleanup.

There are also two new --summary and --interactive options that help to understand what the seed tool will do.

See: https://mapproxy.org/docs/1.0.0/seed.html

FeatureInfo XSL transformations

MapProxy now supports content aware merging of multiple HTML/XML feature responses and it supports XSL transformations. See: https://mapproxy.org/docs/1.0.0/configuration_examples.html#featureinformation

Image manipulation

You can now make non-transparent layers transparent. Either with an opacity value, with blends the layer over the others, or with a color value that should be converted to transparent. See: https://mapproxy.org/docs/1.0.0/sources.html#image-transparent-color

Authentication

There is a new powerful authentication interface. See: https://mapproxy.org/docs/1.0.0/auth.html
