0.7.0 release target #168

Open giumas opened 8 years ago

giumas commented 8 years ago

This issue is to document the set of features/bug fixes for the next (v0.7) HDF Compass Release

[ ] Tree View for object hierarchy - #66
[ ] Fix OpenDAP plugin: #60
[ ] User Guide - #76
[ ] Better support for attribute display - #72
[ ] Better support for viewing HDF5 images - #23
[ ] External/Soft links support - #77
[x] Clipboard Support - #21 #175
[ ] Improve display of linked datatypes - #25
[ ] Improve display of committed types - #75

Excluded from this list (but intended for the next release) are some items (e.g. code signing for Mac binaries) that are a HDFGroup build/deploy process and not a source code issue per se.

I'd leave out #66 (Tree View) from the release target. Implementing is not easy and I'm not entirely sold on its usefulness.

Let's add #164 (Windows installer). I can work on this.

How about adding #132: Handle multiple plugins?

I created an issue #183 to use one top-level window. Any supporters of that approach?

@jreadey : can you explain what was wrong with the work done in https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf-compass/pull/100 before the addition of the graph idea (that I agree is not so useful)?

Me.

I'd also suggest easier access to HDF5 attributes. Something like clicking on HDF5 attributes. The current Open as HDF5 attributes never seemed natural to me.

@hyoklee did a bunch of work on implementing the tree view last year, but I don't think it was ready for prime time. @hyoklee how much more work do you think it would take to complete?

giumas commented 8 years ago

@hyoklee From my understanding, wx provides a 'native' way to display a tree, not a graph. This is the reason of the slowing down of the ticket resolution. I remember that I tested the tree-only part and it was working well.

Just to let you guys know that Debian will soon freeze for its upcoming stable release, so for now we are aiming for providing version 0.6.0 of hdf-compass. hydroffice.bag is now available in the archive, and cartopy is ready. I don't know what is the status with pydap but it looks like it is still at a stand-still, so this plugin won't be functional I am afraid.
