This release was made by FEF and is not endorsed or supported by NASA
This page is for listing of bugs that need to be squashed before there is a 1.4 release. This is the official bug list page. Be sure bugs are linked to a JIRA issue as well (if there is one). There will be no new features added, this is for bug squashing only.
World Wind 1.4 requires .NET 2.0
Contents |
Downloads
- Please link to this page instead of direct download so bugs can be reported. Thanks.
World Wind 1.4.0 RC2 (23 Dec 2006)
To download and install the latest 1.4 beta version (RC2) follow these steps:
- Download the World_Wind_1.4.0_RC2 installer
- Double click World_Wind_1.4.0_RC2.exe
- Pray
You should be able to have 1.4 and 1.3 installed at the same time because they keep their settings in separate locations. If you have run any other builds of 1.4 then you should delete your %appdata%\NASA\World Wind\1.4.0.0\ folder.
Please note the installer does not correctly detect your current version of DirectX, you will need to install DirectX December 2006 or World Wind 1.4 will not run.
NOTE: World Wind 1.4 requires .NET 2.0 and Managed DirectX December 2006.
Bugs
Please read the list of fixed bugs before you add a new one
1.4 Bugs
- Worldwind.log is too verbose, also it validates against the xsd which is outdated
- "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" errors after setting "Don't use proxy" in Conf. Wizard (anyone confirms?)
-
NRLMonterey has ,/. issue -
VE plugin has zbuffer issues (see through terrain) - <CacheExpirationTime> tag for QTS doesn't work
- "Blurry Island" bug is affecting ZoomIt! layers (See JIRA WW-687)
- worldwind:// links with "world=" parameters don't switch worlds.
- Waving flag textures don't appear with low-end graphics cards. Flags are just white squares.
- Placenames downloads freeze other downloads, queued requests arent removed when layer is disabled
- HTTP 404 handling broken on tiles downloads, higher level tiles will be requested even if parent returned 404 (ie. L=0,X=0,Y=0 returns 404, L=1,X=0,Y=0 will still be tried and return more 404s). If this is a 'feature' please provide other means of informing downloader that higher level tiles doesnt exist (custom HTTP error code, custom header, ...).
- The description portion of KML Icons still don't pop up in a bubble, or anywhere else that I can tell. When importing KML placemarks, the placemark discription no longer appears in the lower left hand corner of the screen when I mouse over the placemark icon. See this issue in JIRA WW-686 (http://issues.worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/browse/WW-686). (Placemark descriptions are supposed to appear in html bubbles, whoever created the bubbles needs to fix them.) The code for displaying the description is still in the KMLImporter.CS but is commented out. I restored it, and it works just fine. Would someone be kind enough to un-comment the description code and check it back in?
- Overlapping ESRI shapefiles cause massive distortions. When the shape is rendered, a larger rectangular area surrounding the shape is tinted slightly darker. These overlapping tinted regions combine to blot out the whole screen. This did not occur in V1.3.5. This is in JIRA here WW-690 (http://issues.worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/browse/WW-690). I've also now added screen shots and sample ESRI shape files to the discussion here (http://forum.worldwindcentral.com/showthread.php?p=38438#post38438)
- When I turn the Browser on, with the orientation with it on the left, and I turn on the Tool Bar, it does not come on.
Fixed
-
Compass shows ? instead of degree symbol (is it really fixed? i still see '?')Fixed in SVN, this build isn't quite the latest.
Minor bugs
- The sunlight control window is more of a control panel than a dialog, so it should just have a regular close button instead of the "ok" and "cancel" buttons. Ok and cancel don't really mean anything in the context of this window.
Fixed
-
Configuration Wizard: play introduction movie opens http://www.earthissquare.com/WorldWind/index.php?title=World_Wind_Tours/ (blank page; the last / is not needed)
Other complaints ;)
- Use BMNG+Bathymetry instead of plain BMNG
- replace old atmospheric halo plugin with sky gradient (fix z-buffer issue first)
-
elevation of terrain under mouse not available(this would be new feature, not a bug) -
In the PlaceFinder dialog, the Virtual Earth geocoder tab's textbox should say "Keywords or address" so that it is clear that the user can type in addresses as well as keywords. WW-707
Installer Bugs
- Installer does not correctly detect your current version of DirectX.
- uninstaller hangs on WINDOWS\Fonts\World Wind Dings 1.04.ttf (can anyone confirm this?) (the freeze could have been caused by Kerio firewall; but since WW uses font from its own directory the uninstaller shouldn't touch Windows\Fonts dir at all...)
- The uninstaller should notify the user that the cache directory (potentially a large amount of disk space) was not deleted during the uninstall
