  • When a layer is being edited, if other non-editing layer is actived the console does not disappear.
• Save to georeferenced raster:
  • If the name of the output file ends with the image format extension it throws an error.
• Area and distance measurement:
  • Sometimes the area or the total distance is not shown due to the too low screen resolution configured in the desktop.
• Layout:
  • A view georeferenced in geographic coordinates and with a scale defined by the user cannot be added.
  • Error console pops up when the user tries to pan an empty view in the layout.
  • The graphic line is shown in black even if the user changes the color.

  • When inserting in a map a legend with an invisible layer, this shows as visible in the legend.
  • When a map containing a view with a point layer is exported to PDF or printed, the error console pops up.
• Edition:
  • When a vertex is removed from a polygon during editing, the polygon is no longer selected, preventing the user from editing the other vertices.
  • Error generated when editing a grouped layer.
  • Start editing with several active layers generates error.
• Annotation layer:
  • After editing an annotation layer created from a point layer, when saving the changes the texts disappear. After loading again the original layer, the graphic elements are not displayed.

Version 1.0 (05-12-2006) 

The following problems have been fixed in this release:

• Export selection tool:
  • It only works with shape elements as source.
  • When exporting a selection from a shapefile in Linux the program crashes and the console pops up. The .shp file is created an can be visualized but with errors in its attribute table.
• Map:
  • Sometimes the scale associated to a view is not updated when a zoom is applied.
• Opening/Saving projects:
  • When opening a Table associated to a Layer, if you delete the View where that Layer is located but the Table is not deleted, an error appears when saving the project. It is necessary to also delete the Table.
  • In a recovered project it is only possible to have an open map. The name of the maps can also be source of problems.
  • When opening a previously saved project containing united tables and the layer which contains the union has been labelled using any of the fields used to make the union, then an error occurs.
• Labeling:
  • "Text height" and "Rotation" options in the Labelling dialog only work when the legend is defined to Unique Symbol.
• Locator:
  • When changing the Projection System of a View the reprojection does not apply to those layers added to de locator. The layer reprojection in the locator only works when the View is using the EPSG:23030 coordinate reference system (UTM Projection, Huse 30, Datum ED5050).
• Export to pdf:
  • When exporting a Map to PDF the cursor remains in wait mode, even all the tasks have been finished.
• JDBC layers:
  • If we do a union between two tables of a JDBC layer, if we select the properties of the layer and we set the legend using one of the fields of the merged table the JDBC layer disappears from the View, but it still in the TOC.
• Save to raster:
  • The option "Don't gereference" of the "Save to raster" dialog does not work.

  • Throws an error when finishing a polyline with the right button from a polygon shape file.
  • An exception is thrown when closing the View which any of whose layers is in edition.
• View:
  • Previous zoom does not work properly
  • The scale combo does not work properly when the view uses geographic reference system.
  • In a point layer, it throws an error when a number with decimal is set to the point size.
• WCS Service:
  • WCS layers throw error when accessing to 'Raster Properties'
• Locator Service:
  • Some positioning errors found with several reference systems.
• Supported data formats:
  • It does not export correctly GML files under Linux.
• WFS Service:
  • It does not keep colors in a loaded WFS layer.
  • Exporting certain WFS layers to PostGIS produces errors.

Version 1.0.2 (08-05-2007)

The known pending problems to fix are the same that were in the previous version 1.0. Following errors have been also detected:

• CRS managing extension:
  • In Linux, in case the extension was installed in a path which contains whitespaces it is possible that gvSIG fail starting.
• Tables:
  • If the name of a field contains non-ASCII characters and the table is ordered by such field, the error console pops up.
• Raster files:
  • Sometimes the error console has pop up when opening a JPG file if the view contains SHP files.

Version 1.0 (05-12-2006)

• jpeg2000 files:
  • When opening jpeg2000 files in windows 98, the program exits.
• dwg Files:
  • Some graphical entities topologies can't be loaded (see FAQ section).
  • If the legend properties are switched to Unique Symbol, then the graphical elements disappear from the view and only text are displayed.
• dgn files:
  • The MicroStation element Multi-Line will not be visualized.
  • If the legend properties are switched to Unique Symbol, then the graphical elements disappear from the view and only text are displayed.
• dxf files:
  • When opening a dxf file containing polygons with filling, those polygons are shown without filling and a vertex is droped, so the polygon is incompletely visualized.
  • If the legend properties are switched to Unique Symbol, then the graphical elements disappear from the view and only text are displayed.
• Units of measurement:
  • It does not measure properly areas in the views with system of geodesic projection.
• WMS Servers:
  • Since TIFF is an uncompressed image format, layers loaded from these servers can produce errors due to their size.
• Layout:
  • When modifying the size of an inserted image, this is distorted.
  •  When zooming to the sheet area some errors can occur such as the program crash or the deletion of a layer in the view.
  •  In the page setting it is not possible to change the customized size.
• Projections:
  • Small displacement errors when changing datum due to the system of reprojection used (GT2 v2.0), it will be solved when we use version 2.1.
  • When changing the projection of a view, the existing layers within that view are not reprojected.
• Internationalization:
  • Some translations on the GUI strings still pending.
• Printing:
  • With dgn and dxf files it may fail when the polygons have assigned a pattern symbol that is not a solid color or transparent (vertical, horizontal, oblique lines, etc), which will slow down printing.
  • It is not possible to define correctly a custom size. When selecting landscape page orientation (horizontal) the width parameter is ignored and, if the orientation is set to portrait orientation (vertical) the height parameter is ignored.
• Labeling:
  • Layers reprojected to geodesic coords can not be labelled.
  • On occassions, refreshment problems when activating and deactivating may appear.
  • It does not draw the labels in the side margins of the graphic area.
  • Sometimes the otpion “Draw text only” has failed.

Version 1.0.2

gvSIG runs on OS X 10.3 and 10.4 (PowerPC and Intel). GDAL library works fine, but mrSID is still only available for PowerPC. ECW is not available for OS X.

gvSIG prerrequisites are:

• Java Advanced Imaging (JAI)
  • Is preinstalled on OS X 10.4. For 10.3, there is a downloadable installer in Apple's website. gvSIG will detect the availability of JAI, and offer taking you to the installer webpage or installing the basic files itself.
• JAI Image I/O
  • There is no official installer for OS X. A common partial workaround is installing the pure java part of it; gvSIG will offer doing so.

The pilot application awarded the development contract for the gvSIG Network Analysis extension by the Regional Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport. It includes the calculation of a minimum path across two or more locations, allowing the insertion of intermediate stops. To do so, it generates the network topology or loads a previously calculated one. In addition, the pilot includes the use of point density legends for polygon layers. 

The following organizations have participated in the network pilot extension for gvSIG:

• Sponsor:
  • Regional Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport of Valencia (Spain)
• Developer:
  • IVER Tecnologías de la Información

The network pilot extension must be installed on the gvSIG version it was developed, which is indicated in the download table of the extension. This version of gvSIG must be correctly installed in the PC.

The installation steps are:

• Download the file from the web appropiate to the operating system and execute it.

If the installation process doesn’t automatically find the folder where the correct version of the gvSIG application is installed, it has to be manually indicated. For instance, in the case of a network pilot extension for gvSIG 1.0.2 in Windows XP, the folder could be C:\Program Files\gvSIG 1.0.2.
 

geoBD extension for gvSIG now available. It enables access to spatial databases, modifying the old interface to access them. It also provides a new Oracle Locator connector to the already existing spatial database connectors (PostGIS -in reading and writing mode-, and MySQL and HSQLDB -only in reading mode-). It allows the user to access any table in an Oracle database (since Oracle 9i) containing an SDO_GEOMETRY column type. 

Access to spatial databases generated with Esri ArcSDE (with SDO storage model) and Intergraph Geomedia Pro has also been tested.
