= !GeoDjango 1.1 = [[TOC(GeoDjango1.1)]] This document is to outline the roadmap for the features and fixes that will go into !GeoDjango as a part of the 1.1 release. This is meant to be a living document, so feel free to edit -- but please no vandalization or flaming. == Process == The `gis-1.1` mercurial branch is deprecated as all features spanning multiple tickets and/or branches have now been merged into trunk. Please use SVN trunk to get the latest features for !GeoDjango in 1.1. ~~All development will be taking place in the `gis-1.1` repository hosted at the [http://geodjango.org/hg/gis-1.1/ GeoDjango Mercurial] page. The `gis-1.1` repository is synchronized with SVN trunk, as well as, Russell Keith Magee's [http://github.com/freakboy3742/django/tree/aggregation aggregation git repository], and may also include various patches from tickets before they are checked into trunk (e.g., for !SpatiaLite support). Because of the dynamic nature of this repository, it is not recommended for production use.~~ Informal discussion will take place on IRC (in the `#geodjango` channel on !FreeNode network), and more lengthy discussion (like any feature proposals) should take place on the newly created [http://groups.google.com/group/geodjango GeoDjango mailing list]. == New Features == === Geographic Aggregates === * Now in trunk as of r9748. * Add new PostGIS aggregates: `Collect` and `Polygonize` * Done: Add `Extent`, `MakeLine`, and `Union` spatial aggregates. * Done: Add support for `Extent` on Oracle === Geographic `F()` Expressions === * #10159: Fix `F()` expressions to work on geographic fields. === SQLite (!SpatiaLite) Support === * Contact: [http://groups.google.com/group/geodjango/browse_thread/thread/4b85fc5f0a4dc97e Matthew D.

This section is a brief guide of the mercurial commands you'll need to work with the `gis-1.1` repository. === Installation === For those with setup tools and a command-line: {{{ $ easy_install mercurial }}} However, there are also [http://mercurial.berkwood.com/ Mercurial binary packages for Windows and Mac OS X]. === Getting a Copy === Here's how to get a copy of the repository -- unlike SVN, you get every changeset when you "clone" a repository: {{{ $ hg clone http://geodjango.org/hg/gis-1.1/ }}} === Making Patches === After cloning, work with the code as necessary. Once modified, you create a patch as follows: {{{ $ hg diff > my_patch.diff }}} However, if you've made your own changes (e.g., checked in your own local revisions with `hg ci`) then you will need to send me a diff to the latest pulled revision from the repository. In other words, something like: {{{ $ hg diff -r 49 }}} === Updating (Pulling) === To get the latest changes (analagous to `svn update`), you pull the new changesets and then update the repository with the following commands: {{{ $ hg pull $ hg update }}} Or, if you're lazy you can do it in one command: {{{ $ hg pull -u }}}
