Report on SIS progress
Hello all
We have been silent for a very long time, sorry for that. The
development has been active on the "geoapi-4.0" branch (about 32,000
line of code added, not counting comments), but few changes have been
merged to master yet. The merge has been delayed because of reviews not
yet completed in two packages (filters and access to PostGIS database).
Inconvenient is that when ready, the merge may be quite large…
Work done since SIS 1.0 release in September 2019 includes:
* Spatial filters.
* A query language (CQL) for applying those filters.
* Use of PostGIS spatial database.
* Base class for portrayal (i.e. rendering of maps).
* Base class for reproducing some of the functionalities of Java
Advanced Imaging (JAI) library.
* Beginning of a JavaFX application for those who have JavaFX
preinstalled (we do not redistribute it).
* New map projections (Modified Azimuthal Equidistant,
Cassini-Soldner, Orthographic, Satellite-Tracking).
I updated the roadmap on the wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SIS/Roadmap
The JavaFX application is currently used as a testing tools for checking
SIS capability to read, transform and visualize data files. However we
try to make it usable by non-developers too (JavaFX must be
preinstalled, we do not declare Maven dependencies to JavaFX for
licensing reasons). It can not compete with existing GIS applications
yet, but SIS has some in strong points in "metadata" and "referencing by
coordinates" aspects that may make this application interesting in the
future:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SIS/JavaFX+application
We have been weak on communication in the last months and I hope we can
fix that. If there is any question about the ongoing work or things that
you would like to change, please let us know. If the current work
direction is okay, then a next topic would be about next release (1.0.1
or 1.1).

Thanks Adam and Charith! I must said, this work has Johann Sorel and
Alexis Manin contributions too, who are progressively becoming more
active in this project.
