Change Log

Beta Releases

b6 - TBA

  • Breaking changes:
    • Changed Tipsify.tipsify and Tipsify.calculateACMR to accept an object literal instead of three separate arguments. Supplying a maximum index and cache size is now optional.
  • TBA

b5 - 05/15/2012

  • Breaking changes:

    • Renamed Geoscope to Cesium. To update your code, change all Geoscope.* references to Cesium.*, and reference Cesium.js instead of Geoscope.js.

    • CompositePrimitive.addGround was removed; use CompositePrimitive.add instead. For example, change

        primitives.addGround(polygon);

      to:

        primitives.add(polygon);

    • Moved eastNorthUpToFixedFrame and northEastDownToFixedFrame functions from Ellipsoid to a new Transforms object. For example, change

        var m = ellipsoid.eastNorthUpToFixedFrame(p);

      to:

        var m = Cesium.Transforms.eastNorthUpToFixedFrame(p, ellipsoid);

    • Label properties fillStyle and strokeStyle were renamed to fillColor and outlineColor; they are also now color objects instead of strings. The label Color property has been removed.

      For example, change

        label.setFillStyle("red");
  label.setStrokeStyle("#FFFFFFFF");

      to:

        label.setFillColor({ red : 1.0, blue : 0.0, green : 0.0, alpha : 1.0 });
  label.setOutlineColor({ red : 1.0, blue : 1.0, green : 1.0, alpha : 1.0 });

    • Renamed Tipsify.Tipsify to Tipsify.tipsify.

    • Renamed Tipsify.CalculateACMR to Tipsify.calculateACMR.

    • Renamed LeapSecond.CompareLeapSecondDate to LeapSecond.compareLeapSecondDate.

    • Geoscope.JSONP.get is now Cesium.jsonp. Cesium.jsonp now takes a url, a callback function, and an options object. The previous 2nd and 4th parameters are now specified using the options object.

    • TWEEN is no longer globally defined, and is instead available as Cesium.Tween.

    • Chain.js functions such as run are now moved to Cesium.Chain.run, etc.

    • Geoscope.CollectionAlgorithms.binarySearch is now Cesium.binarySearch.

    • Geoscope.ContainmentTests.pointInsideTriangle2D is now Cesium.pointInsideTriangle2D.

    • Static constructor methods prefixed with "createFrom", now start with "from":

         Matrix2.createfromColumnMajorArray

      becomes

         Matrix2.fromColumnMajorArray

    • The JulianDate constructor no longer takes a Date object, use the new from methods instead:

         new JulianDate(new Date());

      becomes

         JulianDate.fromDate(new Date("January 1, 2011 12:00:00 EST"));
   JulianDate.fromIso8601("2012-04-24T18:08Z");
   JulianDate.fromTotalDays(23452.23);

    • JulianDate.getDate is now JulianDate.toDate() and returns a new instance each time.

    • CentralBody.logoOffsetX and logoOffsetY have been replaced with CentralBody.logoOffset, a Cartesian2.

    • TileProviders now take a proxy object instead of a string, to allow more control over how proxy URLs are built. Construct a DefaultProxy, passing the previous proxy URL, to get the previous behavior.

    • Ellipsoid.getScaledWgs84() has been removed since it is not needed.

    • getXXX() methods which returned a new instance of what should really be a constant are now exposed as frozen properties instead. This should improve performance and memory pressure.

      • Cartsian2/3/4.getUnitX() -> Cartsian2/3/4.UNIT_X
      • Cartsian2/3/4.getUnitY() -> Cartsian2/3/4.UNIT_Y
      • Cartsian2/3/4.getUnitZ() -> Cartsian3/4.UNIT_Z
      • Cartsian2/3/4.getUnitW() -> Cartsian4.UNIT_W
      • Matrix/2/3/4.getIdentity() -> Matrix/2/3/4.IDENTITY
      • Quaternion.getIdentity() -> Quaternion.IDENTITY
      • Ellipsoid.getWgs84() -> Ellipsoid.WGS84
      • Ellipsoid.getUnitSphere() -> Ellipsoid.UNIT_SPHERE
      • Cartesian2/3/4/Cartographic.getZero() -> Cartesian2/3/4/Cartographic.ZERO

  • Added PerformanceDisplay which can be added to a scene to display frames per second (FPS).

  • Labels now correctly allow specifying fonts by non-pixel CSS units such as points, ems, etc.

  • Added Shapes.computeEllipseBoundary and updated Shapes.computeCircleBoundary to compute boundaries using arc-distance.

  • Added fileExtension and credit properties to OpenStreetMapTileProvider construction.

  • Night lights no longer disappear when CentralBody.showGroundAtmosphere is true.

b4 - 03/01/2012

  • Breaking changes:

    • Replaced Geoscope.SkyFromSpace object with CentralBody.showSkyAtmosphere property.

    • For mouse click and double click events, replaced event.x and event.y with event.position.

    • For mouse move events, replaced movement.startX and startY with movement.startPosition. Replaced movement.endX and movement.endY with movement.endPosition.

    • Scene.Pick now takes a Cartesian2 with the origin at the upper-left corner of the canvas. For example, code that looked like:

        scene.pick(movement.endX, scene.getCanvas().clientHeight - movement.endY);

    becomes:

      scene.pick(movement.endPosition);

  • Added SceneTransitioner to switch between 2D and 3D views. See the new Skeleton 2D example.

  • Added CentralBody.showGroundAtmosphere to show an atmosphere on the ground.

  • Added Camera.pickEllipsoid to get the point on the globe under the mouse cursor.

  • Added Polygon.height to draw polygons at a constant altitude above the ellipsoid.

b3 - 02/06/2012

      • Replaced setColor/getColor and setOutlineColor/getOutlineColor with color and outline properties.
      • Replaced setWidth/getWidth and setOutlineWidth/getOutlineWidth with width and outlineWidth properties.
    • Removed Geoscope.BillboardCollection.bufferUsage. It is now automatically determined.
    • Removed Geoscope.Label set/get functions for shadowOffset, shadowBlur, shadowColor. These are no longer supported.
    • Renamed Scene.getTransitions to Scene.getAnimations.
    • Renamed SensorCollection to SensorVolumeCollection.
    • Replaced ComplexConicSensorVolume.material with separate materials for each surface: outerMaterial, innerMaterial, and capMaterial.

    • Added clock angle support to ConicSensorVolume via the new maximumClockAngle and minimumClockAngle properties.
    • Added a rectangular sensor, RectangularPyramidSensorVolume.

    • Improved performance and memory usage of BillboardCollection and LabelCollection.
    • Added more mouse events.
    • Added Sandbox examples for new features.

b2 - 12/01/2011

  • Added complex conic and custom sensor volumes, and various materials to change their appearance. See the new Sensor folder in the Sandbox.

  • Added modelMatrix property to primitives to render them in a local reference frame. See the polyline example in the Sandbox.

  • Added eastNorthUpToFixedFrame() and northEastDownToFixedFrame() to Ellipsoid to create local reference frames.

  • Added CameraFlightController to zoom smoothly from one point to another. See the new camera examples in the Sandbox.

  • Added row and column assessors to Matrix2, Matrix3, and Matrix4.

  • Added Scene, which reduces the amount of code required to use Geoscope. See the Skeleton. We recommend using this instead of explicitly calling update() and render() for individual or composite primitives. Existing code will need minor changes:

    • Calls to Context.pick() should be replaced with Scene.pick().
    • Primitive constructors no longer require a context argument.
    • Primitive update() and render() functions now require a context argument. However, when using the new Scene object, these functions do not need to be called directly.
    • TextureAtlas should no longer be created directly; instead, call Scene.getContext().createTextureAtlas().
    • Other breaking changes:

      • Camera get/set functions, e.g., getPosition/setPosition were replaced with properties, e.g., position.

      • Replaced CompositePrimitive, Polygon, and Polyline getShow/setShow functions with a show property.

      • Replaced Polyline, Polygon, BillboardCollection, and LabelCollection getBufferUsage/setBufferUsage functions with a bufferUsage property.

      • Changed colors used by billboards, labels, polylines, and polygons. Previously, components were named r, g, b, and a. They are now red, green, blue, and alpha. Previously, each component's range was [0, 255]. The range is now [0, 1] floating point. For example,

         color : { r : 0, g : 255, b : 0, a : 255 }

    becomes

      color : { red : 0.0, green : 1.0, blue : 0.0, alpha : 1.0 }

b1 - 09/19/2011

  • Added Shapes.computeCircleBoundary to compute circles. See the Sandbox.

  • Changed the EventHandler constructor function to take the Geoscope canvas, which ensures the mouse position is correct regardless of the canvas' position on the page. Code that previously looked like:

      var handler = new Geoscope.EventHandler();

    should now look like:

      var handler = new Geoscope.EventHandler(canvas);

  • Context.Pick no longer requires clamping the x and y arguments. Code that previously looked like:

      var pickedObject = context.pick(primitives, us, Math.max(x, 0.0), 
      Math.max(context.getCanvas().clientHeight - y, 0.0));

    can now look like:

      var pickedObject = context.pick(primitives, us, x, context.getCanvas().clientHeight - y);

  • Changed Polyline.setWidth and Polyline.setOutlineWidth to clamp the width to the WebGL implementation limit instead of throwing an exception. Code that previously looked like:

      var maxWidth = context.getMaximumAliasedLineWidth();
  polyline.setWidth(Math.min(5, maxWidth));
  polyline.setOutlineWidth(Math.min(10, maxWidth));

    can now look like:

      polyline.setWidth(5);
  polyline.setOutlineWidth(10);

  • Improved the Sandbox:

    • Code in the editor is now evaluated as you type for quick prototyping.
    • Highlighting a Geoscope type in the editor and clicking the doc button in the toolbar now brings up the reference help for that type.

  • BREAKING CHANGE: The Context constructor-function now takes an element instead of an ID. Code that previously looked like:

      var context = new Geoscope.Context("glCanvas");
  var canvas = context.getCanvas();

    should now look like:

      var canvas = document.getElementById("glCanvas");
  var context = new Geoscope.Context(canvas);

b0 - 08/31/2011

  • Added new Sandbox and Skeleton examples. The sandbox contains example code for common tasks. The skeleton is a bare-bones application for building upon. Most sandbox code examples can be copy and pasted directly into the skeleton.
  • Added Geoscope.Polygon for drawing polygons on the globe.
  • Added Context.pick to pick objects in one line of code.
  • Added bringForward, bringToFront, sendBackward, and sendToBack functions to CompositePrimitive to control the render-order for ground primitives.
  • Added getShow/setShow functions to Polyline and CompositePrimitive.
  • Added new camera control and event types including CameraFreeLookEventHandler, CameraSpindleEventHandler, and EventHandler.
  • Replaced Ellipsoid.toCartesian3 with Ellipsoid.toCartesian.
  • update and updateForPick functions no longer require a UniformState argument.
