GeoPrisma 1.4 Release Plan

This purpose of this page is to list the main tasks required for GeoPrisma version 1.4 release.

Main objectives

• Have the ability to Get and Set the map center using the API widget (#416).
• Mark the TemplatePopup widget as stable. Do all required fixes.
  • Update its sample to show what it's currently capable of. (#421)
• Add the possibility to load subsets of data using an external ACL in Postgresql.
  • This is already possible using the AccessFilter in GeoPrisma, but it currently lacks documentation (#423), a good sample (#424) and some validations (#425). Also, make sure it's supported by the XMLWorkspaceConfig driver (#426).
  • For the ApplyFilter widget, in order to support this using client-side form elements, it needs to append parameters both WMS GetMap and WFS GetFeature request urls (#446)
• Standardize the "grid" widget options in order to be able to configure the field options only at one place, i.e. inside the resource fields.
  • Make the according changes to the ResultExtGrid widget #248
• Legend printing support #78
