Cumulus package 2.5.0 released

Cumulus 2.5.0

Hi list,

the season on the northern hemisphere is nearly finished but today I released the Cumulus package 2.5.0. It contains different bug fixes and also some new added features. The important fixes are a memory leak in ListViewFilters and the null pointer usage in ReachableListView which caused a core dump.

A new option Projection follows home has been added to the map settings page. This option is only available for Plate Carree (cylinder) projection. This projection is the default of Cumulus. If this option is active and the user sets a new home site, the projection latitude is also updated. That all triggers a recomputing of map data projections. The result should be a better display of the map in the assumption that the user is flying around his home site. Furthermore the projection latitude must not be set by hand as before. Note that the earth is projected to a flat map and the best unskewed results are only to see in the near of the projection latitude.

Another change concerns the shortkey H. It related action has been changed. This shortkey now navigates to the home site. Pressing it sets the course line from the current position to the home position. Also the shortcut key SHIFT+H action has been changed. Pressing it moves the current position to the home site but only in manual mode.

The new package for the Internet Tablets N800/N810 is to find here:
