=== Terragear === | |||
The master branch of terragear has recently seen more enhancements and cleanup. | |||
Most of the functionality has been put into a single terragear library for reuse in all tools. | |||
Furthermore, all essential parts of the toolchain now support multithreading. The multiprocess support for genapts has been removed in favour of threading as well. | |||
Work continues on the elevation tools. GDALchop has been re-activated and should become the prior tool to chop up elevation source files into buckets. As it relies on the well-established codebase of GDAL, it takes away the task of opening and reading the different kinds of elevation files from the terragear developers. Supported formats can be seen here: http://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html | |||
