ABOUT UDIG 1.3.2

The 1.3.2 release showcases active assistance when writing CQL expressions
and filters. This technology will be used to making editing styles a more
rewarding and dynamic experience.

The 1.3 series features some great usability improvements with a new tool
palette and easy to access tool options. For developers the uDig platform
provides access to the latest open source libraries from an Eclipse RCP
environment.

Here are some new features you can look forward to:

   - Import SLD 1.1 Styles
   - Edit Tools included - no longer require a separate download
   - Area - define your area of interest based on CRS, current screen or a
   bookmark. You can use the area of interest to filter a Map Layer or just
   the Table view. This is a great way to focus on just the content you are
   interested in.
   - Query Layers using a dynamic filter editor, there is also a checkbox
   to filter using the area of interest. Can be used to answer simple feature
   containment questions.
   - Powerful data processing with the Transform operation. Use a dynamic
   expression editor to generate new datasets.
   - Provide an expression to label features, allowing the Information view
   to list features by name.
   - Updated Info and Profile tools for raster data
   - Teradata support
   - Spatial Toolbox view allowing access to OMS3 processing; with tutorial!
   - New import and export formats: CSV and KML.
