New map source: Google Terrain

Download error counter added to atlas progress dialog
Updated OpenCycleMap url (fixes zoom level > 13)
New map source: Yahoo Maps
New map source: Google Maps China (Ditu)
New map source (Germany only): Outdooractive.com
Selected/entered tile size is now saved/restored in/from settings.xml
Tooltip of "tiles-to-download-counter-label" (located right to the label
"Zoom levels (..)") now shows the breakdown of the number of tiles
to the different zoom levels including the area calculation
Exceptions that occur while downloading/creating an atlas are now displayed
in an dialog showing detailed information about the system and the exception
Updated Google Maps url & removed "Galileo" appendix
New experimental implementation for creating tile of custom size.
Disdvantage: Much slower that the algorithm before
Advantage: Only constant memory needed (approx. less than 10 MB)
Using custom tile size now does not concert the tiles to png format.
Instead the format used by the maps source is used.

0.9.5: (2008-10-27)
+ Detailed log files can be created by providing a configuration file log4j.xml
(see README.txt for details).
+ HTTP Proxy (host & port) can be specified via GUI

tore
in Settings window.
+ Multithreaded download of tiles implemented (number of parallel download thre
ads
changeable via settings dialog

of
opening a new TCP connection for each tile

80)

different map sources

preview loads in background automatically
easy zooming (mouse wheel) and movement (right mouse button)
~ Tar generation rewritten, each tar is now only opened one time, not
once for each tile to be added (increases tar creation in case of a virus
scanner being active)
0.8:
+ Added xml based settings file via Java Properties
+ Added possibility to change tile size for the downloaded tiles.
+ Added possibility to set map size in atlas. Giving the possibility to create
large atlases

system(s).

validation of the xml data at application start.
