GeoProcessor / Release Notes

These release notes provide information about changes that have occurred in the GeoProcessor. A summary table is provided, with links to details for major versions.

Version Numbering Convention

GeoProcessor versioning generally adheres to the following pattern, consistent with Semantic Versioning. The version may be incremented in source code but does not become official until a public software release is made.

Major.Minor.Patch.Modifier

where:

  • Major is a number indicating a major change to the software, such as underlying platform or change to the overall design.
  • Minor is a number indicating a minor change to the software, such as a new feature.
  • Patch (or maintenance) is a number indicating a maintenance release, for example to fix a bug in an existing component without adding significant new functionality.
  • Modifier is a modified such as "dev" to indicate a development version that is undergoing changes.

Issue Legend

Issues and corresponding release note items are categorized as follows. Release note items for a version are typically listed in the order shown to emphasize impacts on software users.

  • limitation Known Limitation – A known limitation has been documented and may impact the user. The limitation will be addressed in a future release.
  • bug Bug Fix – A bug has been fixed. Users should evaluate whether their work is impacted. Sometimes bug fixes impact internal code and changes may not be very visible to users.
  • remove Remove – A feature has been removed, generally because functionality has been migrated to another feature of tool or the functionality is no longer needed (e.g., a database is no longer available).
  • change Update/Change – An existing feature has been changed or enhanced. Backward compatibility is usually retained. Modifications to an existing command are considered a change.
  • new New Feature – A new feature has been added, such as a new command. New features may or may not be obvious to users and will generally be visible in new menus and documentation.
