<div style="direction:ltr; font-family:Tahoma; color:#000000; font-size:10pt">Hi all!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are very close to launch a release candidate. Some important PR are still in work/test but one of the most important subject is now the API, which is in the middle of many discussions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It seems we don't all (developers) have the exact same point of view for now:)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- As for now, iTowns leave access to a large part of the code as methods are usually not private. -> not good</div>
<div>- High level API is too messy and not generic enough. -> not good</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We need to agree on the methods available from the API, usable for non professional users and coders but also protect method that should not be accessible directly.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A first proposition:</div>
<div>Remove ApiGlobe and replace it by a Viewer and a Map with generic methods.</div>
<div>Map could be plan, ellipsoidal or any other format.</div>
<div>Methods that should be in the High level api for the candidate release:</div>
