• changed licensing from Creative Commons Attribution - Share Alike 3.0 to GPL 3.0 or later
• initial interface to MOA database

v1.06

• added support for 3 or 4-channel GeoTIFF images
• improved handling of OpenGL textures to support high-resolution GeoTIFF images
• significant improvements to rendering speed under Microsoft Windows Vista and 7 (and possibly XP and OSX although these rendered quickly before)
• changed default projection to plate carrée (equirectangular) projection as it can properly handle all maps
• more efficient handling of main memory and GPU memory
• fixed visual artifacts in compass widget under Microsoft Windows Vista and 7
• fixed (hopefully!) bug which occasionally caused a map to fail to appear when loaded
• modified handling of log file so it works under Microsoft Windows Vista and 7
• added additional log statements to help in debugging end users
• fixed bug in Map Properties dialog which was preventing modification to a map's colour map

v1.05

• major bug fixes to OSX version:
  • sequences can now be loaded
  • layers can now be selected/unselected
  • map level-of-detail is now set properly
  • numerous cosmetic improvements
• implemented dialog which allows user to specify which sequences are active
• update dataHelper class to provide functions for placing sequences in the active set
• added tree popup menu item to allow the order of points to be reversed
• minor bug fixes to tree projection code
• various minor bug fixes

v1.04

• modified colour pickers to improve their visual appearance under OSX
• extended GenGIS Python API to allow modification of phylogenetic trees
• added functionality to project trees onto a subset of taxa

v1.03

• added general purpose, user labels
• Several extensions to the GenGIS Python API:
  • functions to obtain the width and height of the OpenGL Viewport.
  • functions for manipulating pie charts
  • functions for drawing markers, lines, and labels
  • several minor additions
• trees of high dimensionality (> 9) can not be optimally laid out for computational reasons, so a heuristic layout is used
• fixed memory leak related to incorrect use of Font class
• shape maps now save any user modifications
• various minor bug fixes

v1.02

• background colour of GenGIS Viewport can be set by user in Study Properties Dialog
• improved rendering quality of labels
• labels associated with location sites can now be interactively positioned
• the contents of the GenGIS Viewport can now be saved as a PNG file using File->Save image as...
• added Python function convertGeoCoord() which allows geographic coordinates to be converted into GenGIS Viewport coordinates
• added Python function addLine() which allows a user defined line to be rendered in the GenGIS Viewport
• added Python function openTree() which allows tree files to be loaded
• extended movieHelper.py to include setCameraParam() function
• added warning message regarding optimization of leaf nodes for trees with degree > 9
• various minor bug fixes

v1.01

• updated all Python scripts
• various minor bug fixes
