2.3.0

Breaking change

• The geodesic normal in the center of the tile's geometry is aligned with the mesh's local Z axis.
  Previously, the tiles were not oriented. their local landmark had the same orientation as the world landmark.
  You must take into account the orientation of the tile if you add objects to this tile.
• For OSM color layers, user should use the xyz protocol instead of tms (reserved for "real" TMS layers, the difference between the 2 is the y origin)
• update to major release THREE v0.89

• 3dtiles
  • add wireframe support for 3dTiles layer, and add wireframe checkbox to 3dTilesDebugUI, visible in the 3dTiles example (1a0d632)

2.2.0

2.2.0 (2017-12-15)

Breaking change

• view.addFrameRequester signature changed, you now need to specify a hook point
  when registering them. The old behaviour is achieved with MAIN_LOOP_EVENTS.AFTER_CAMERA_UPDATE hook point (see MainLoop.js).
  So for instance, you should transform the following calls:

view.addFrameRequester(myFunc)-> view.addFrameRequester('after-camera-update', myFunc)
view.addFrameRequester(myObj) -> view.addFrameRequester('after-camera-update', myObj.update.bind(myObj)).

Note that we no more support object with update function, as it does not really make sense any more with several hook points).

See MainLoop.js for the full list of available hook points.

• three.js and proj4 are now peer dependencies of the npm package. If you are not using the itowns.js bundle, you need to add them to your package.json's dependencies.

v2.1.0

Here is a somewhat complete changelog:

Core:

• FrameRequester: module can now be notified at each animation frame.
• Ability to reproject extent via Extent.as
• DEMUtils, set of utility to read elevations

Format and protocol support

• Point clouds from potree converter
• 3dTiles: support for batch table, pnts and b3dm RTC.
• WFS/geojson
• GPX support greatly improved
• Add a provider that generates 2D texture from vector datas (geojson, gpx and kml)

Layers:

• options.zoom now takes precedence over configured tileMatrixSetLimits
• It's now possible to specify another Object3D than scene to geometry layers to use when adding children.
• add GeometryLayer.postUpdate method
• Some helpers to ease the creation of planar and globe geometry have been added
• Child layer now use parent's extent if it doesn't have one already

Controls:

Some new control examples:

• PlanarControls
• FlyControls
• FirstPersonControls

It's now possible to instanciate the globe without using GlobeControls

Examples

In addition of examples for new protocol and format, here are the new showcases:

• Mini-viewer for globe.html
• Cube with elevation and color layers (cubic_planar.html)
• A THREE mesh in an itowns scene (positionGlobe.html)
• Splitted rendering (split.html)

Others

• Countless bug fixes.
• update THREE to 0.87

v2.0.0

The first release of itowns v2.
