Basic map setup for lizard web sites

Project description

lizard-map
==========

Lizard-map provides basic map interaction for `Django
<http://www.djangoproject.com>`_ applications that use a `lizard-ui
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lizard-ui>`_ user interface. We designed it at
`Nelen & Schuurmans <http://www.nelen-schuurmans.nl>`_ for our geographical
information websites (with water management information).

It provides:

- Openlayers (map javascript libary) map display and server-side map
generation (mapnik's WMS functionality). Background maps are configurable.

- A "workspace" interaction model: drag mappable items into a workspace and
they'll get displayed. The workspace is stored in the Django database.

- A "collage" attached to every workspace for storing selected info on map
items (like graphs).

- An extention mechanism to plug more or less arbitrary map sources into the
workspace so that they can be displayed, searched, etc.


Core concept: workspaces
------------------------

A *workspace item* is something that can be displayed on a map. A *workspace*
is a collection of workspace items that is actually displayed.

There are two types of workspaces:

- Edit Workspace: Every session/user gets its own workspace. This
workspace can be edited.

- Storage Workspace. TODO: extra info.


A workspace item needs to know how to display itself, how to search for items
when you click on the map and more. To get that to work for arbitrary map
sources, you need to configure an adapter. The adapter has a ``layer()``
method for returning a mapnik layer, a ``search()`` method for searching and
so on.

- You register an adapter as a so-called "setuptools entrypoint" under a
specfic name.

- When you add a workspace item, you pass in the adapter name and an optional
snippet of json to configure the adapter.

The workspace item keeps track of this adapter and its configuragion and uses
it to generate maps, for searching, etc.


Collages
--------

A workspace item often results in multiple areas or points. If you click on
such a point, you normally get a popup with extra information. If you want to
compare a couple of those information "snippets", you can place them in your
*collage*. In the GUI this is called "Selectie".

Clicking the collage gives a popup with all the collected information popups
in that single popup.


Interaction
-----------

Included is quite some javascript for workspace interaction. Potential
workspace items can be drag/dropped into a workspace to add them. Workspace
items can be reordered. You can drag them to the trash.


Dependencies
------------

Almost all dependencies are listed in our ``setup.py``, so they get pulled in
automatically. Not all of them install as good as eggs, though. You might be
better off installing them system-wide with your OS's own packaging system.

You can force buildout to use system-wide installed packages with the
`osc.recipe.sysegg <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/osc.recipe.sysegg>`_ recipe.
An example config::

[buildout]
...
parts =
sysegg
...

[sysegg]
recipe = osc.recipe.sysegg
force-sysegg = true
eggs =
PIL
matplotlib
simplejson
pyproj


Development installation
------------------------

The first time, you'll have to run the "bootstrap" script to set up setuptools
and buildout::

$> python bootstrap.py

And then run buildout to set everything up::

$> bin/buildout

(On windows it is called ``bin\buildout.exe``).

You'll have to re-run buildout when you or someone else made a change in
``setup.py`` or ``buildout.cfg``.

The current package is installed as a "development package", so
changes in .py files are automatically available (just like with ``python
setup.py develop``).

If you want to use trunk checkouts of other packages (instead of released
versions), add them as an "svn external" in the ``local_checkouts/`` directory
and add them to the ``develop =`` list in buildout.cfg.

Tests can always be run with ``bin/test`` or ``bin\test.exe``.


External dependencies
---------------------

The dependencies for a full website that uses lizard-map are best expressed as
ubuntu/debian package dependencies: build-essential, python2.6-dev, apache2,
libjpeg-dev, python-imaging, python-matplotlib, python-mapnik, python-scipy,
libapache2-mod-wsgi, python-gdal, spatialite-bin, python-pysqlite2,
python-pyproj.


Upgrading to Lizard 3
---------------------

Short summary to convert your app to Lizard 3.

- Replace old template tags workspace with workspace_edit and
collage_edit (see below).

- Review urls.py for old lizard_map views. Replace with new ones or
remove.

- Migrate

- Upgrade to class-based views, using one of the View classes
(i.e. AppView). An excellent description can be found when googling
"class based views reinout". You can take lizard-map views as
examples as well.


Site integration
----------------

The following steps has to be done in order to use the
lizard_map/workspace concepts.

- Install lizard-map somewhere. (Add 'lizard-map' in your setup.py:
install_requires)

- Add 'lizard_map' to your settings.py: INSTALLED_APPS.

- Add an entry in your urls.py::

import lizard_map.urls

(r'^map/', include(lizard_map.urls)),

- Use one of the views, i.e. AppView.


Example view::

from lizard_map.views import AppView

class MyAppView(AppView):
template_name = 'my_app/template.html'


Example template::

{% extends "lizard_map/wms.html" %}
{% load workspaces %}

{% block subtitle %} (page name) {% endblock %}

{% block sidebar %}

<div id="iconbox" class="sidebarbox sidebarbox-stretched iconlist">
<h2>Apps</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="/address/" class="lizard-map-link">
<img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}lizard_ui/app_icons/meetgegevens.png" />
<div>App</div>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

{% workspace_edit view.workspace_edit %}
{% collage_edit view.collage_edit %}

{% endblock %}

- Add this view to your url.py:

import my_app.views

(r'^$', my_app.views.MyAppView.as_view()),


- Start testing by running syncdb / migrate.

- Add and configure background maps by loading "background_maps" fixture.

- Start dev server.


Settings
--------

Some default date range settings can be set in settings.py. All
settings are optional::

START_YEAR = 2000 # Defaults to today - 7 years
END_YEAR = 2010 # Defaults to today + 3 years.

# Define default period 1..5
# From daterange.py:
# PERIOD_DAY = 1
# PERIOD_TWO_DAYS = 2
# PERIOD_WEEK = 3
# PERIOD_MONTH = 4
# PERIOD_YEAR = 5
# PERIOD_OTHER = 6

DEFAULT_PERIOD = 5 # Defaults to 1

# If DEFAULT_PERIOD = 6, define these
DEFAULT_START_DAYS = -20 # Defaults to -1000
DEFAULT_END_DAYS = 1 # Defaults to 10

You can add google analytics to your site by adding the tracking
code::

GOOGLE_TRACKING_CODE = 'AA-12345678-0'

4.0a1 (2012-05-18)
------------------

- Requiring lizard-ui 4.0 alpha: the new twitter bootstrap layout.

- Using compiled css instead of less.

- Removed old HomepageView and renamed the MapIconView.

- Using new twitter-bootstrap layout. Using the MapView class based view is

- Timeseries can now be localized in Graph object.

- Fixed syntax error in jquery.workspace.js.

- Adds STATIC_URL to application icons.

- Making the normal AppView the main cbv instead of the temporary MapView name.


3.31 (2012-05-15)
-----------------

- Changed map click popup to jQuery ui dialog: it is now movable and
resizable.

- The maximum number of tabs in popups has been made configurable.

- If an item is removed from the workspace while rendering (for instance because an Exception
was raised), the page loads without giving an internal server error caused by trying to
create a Legend.


3.30 (2012-04-26)
-----------------

- Added one icon.


3.29 (2012-04-25)
-----------------

- Added two icons.


3.28 (2012-04-13)
-----------------

- Re-enabling hover functionality on saved workspaces.


3.27.1 (2012-04-13)
-------------------

- Also removed references to touch.js and lizard_touch.js from the templates...


3.27 (2012-04-13)
-----------------

- Required lizard-ui 3.14 (new Openlayers).

- Removed touch.js, necessary with the new Openlayers version.

- Uncommented extent() in WorkspaceItemAdapter. It should be there
because it is one of the methods that can be overridden by
implementing adapters.

3.26 (2012-04-06)
-----------------

- Changed collage detail template so that apps can configure it a bit more.
Collage items (that are put in groups on the collage page) have properties
that control the header shown over the group (data_description), which edit
dialog to show for a collage item edit button (collage_detail_edit_action),
whether to show the whole Edit block at all (collage_detail_show_edit_block),
and whether to show the statistics block (collage_detail_show_statistics_block).

These functions in turn call functions in their adapters, with an identifier
as argument (because one adapter can have items in different groups, with different
settings. This way it gets the identifier of the first item in each group):

def collage_detail_data_description(self, identifier, *args, **kwargs):
default 'Grafiek'
def collage_detail_edit_action(self, identifier, *args, **kwargs):
default 'graph'
def collage_detail_show_edit_block(self, identifier, *args, **kwargs):
default True
def collage_detail_show_statistics_block(self, identifier, *args, **kwargs):
default True

*args and **kwargs are meaningless but present in case the functions' signatures
change in the future. These functions can be overridden in your adapter.


3.25 (2012-04-04)
-----------------

- Improved docstrings at a few places (mainly location() in
WorkspaceItemAdapter)

- Added method 'adapter_layer_json' to WorkspaceItemAdapter, helpful
to generate this bit of json when it's needed.

- Added 'adapter': self to html_default's template context variables.
This gives templates access to adapter's methods and attributes,
like adapter.adapter_class and adapter.adapter_layer_json.

3.24 (2012-03-05)
-----------------

- It's now possible to not use a popup_click_handler.


3.23 (2012-02-16)
-----------------

- Added grouping_hint option to the result of adapter.search(), to make it
possible for a single workspace layer to open a popup with multiple tabs.


3.22 (2012-01-27)
-----------------

- Translation fixes, added breadcrumb to the workspace storage
page. Last fixes before "Lizard 3.0" release?


3.21 (2012-01-26)
-----------------

- Make sure graphs never zoom in so far that they show Y-axis values
with more than 2 decimals.


3.20 (2012-01-26)
-----------------

- Changed waterstand icon from triangle pointing up to triangle
pointing down.

- Changed workspace save/load functionality. Now workspaces can only
be saved, which gives them a "secret slug" (a string with random
characters), and the workspace detail page is opened in a new page.
The URL to this page includes the secret slug and can be shared with
others. The workspace shown on the page can't be changed. The
"workspace load" button is gone until we have a nice user interface
that can show many saved workspaces, and a way to deal with user
privileges.

This is minimal functionality that will be improved in later
versions.

3.19 (2012-01-23)
-----------------

- Removed Download button because we don't have working background maps

- Added a nice calendar to the period selection dialog

- Fixed bug with opacity slider and WMS layers

- Added some functions for the collage detail page, so that different apps
can show different titles and/or hide the Edit button.

3.18 (2012-01-17)
-----------------

- Breadcrumbs for application screens, first
page of applications

- Possibility for apps to add their own breadcrumbs


3.17 (2012-01-13)
-----------------

- Fixed bug where items on the collage page didn't have access to the
request (and therefore not to start- and end dates).


3.16 (2012-01-10)
-----------------

- Fix bug with editing collages.


3.15 (2012-01-05)
-----------------

- Fix bug where X-label of graph wasn't visible.


3.14.1 (2012-01-05)
-------------------

- Nothing changed yet.


3.14 (2012-01-05)
-----------------

- Hack to prevent error when a dictionary key doesn't exist.


3.13 (2012-01-04)
-----------------

- Skip map layers without params in downloaded image. (internal server
error fix)


3.12.1 (2012-01-02)
-------------------

- Fix bug: not every adapter has an extent


3.12 (2012-01-02)
-----------------

- The workspace item zoom button is back and works.

- Changed "jouw" in some tooltip strings to "uw".

3.11 (2011-12-21)
-----------------

- Added functions in collage_edit and workspace_edit to check whether
certain items already exist in them.

- Fixed bug where items could be added to a collage several times.

3.10 (2011-12-21)
-----------------

- New template tag 'if_in_workspace_edit' that can return a string
if a given item's name is present in the workspace.

3.9 (2011-12-21)
----------------

- Removed some max_lengths in forms.py, because it caused valid forms
to fail. There is no reason JSON fields should have a hard limit,
and other fields should have the same limit as in the model.

3.8 (2011-12-20)
----------------

- Added 'transform_point' utility function that can use the site's
projection Setting to transform points to a desired projection.


3.7 (2011-12-20)
----------------

- Made it possible to scale y-axis of graphs manually (it used to be
possible, except then the y-axis would be recalculated afterwards)


3.6 (2011-12-19)
----------------

- WorkspaceItemAdapter's html_default() can use the
extra_render_kwargs kwarg again. Subclasses can use it to send
variables to the template and still use the html_default method for
most of the work.

- Added a block popup_title to html_default.html so that the title
can be changed in extending templates.


3.5.2 (2011-11-29)
------------------

- Removed object-actions block with the non-existing 'help-workspace' url that
broke the interface.


3.5.1 (2011-11-28)
------------------

- Restored a small feature that RainApp depends on.

- Fixed test test_mixins.


3.5 (2011-11-14)
----------------

- Added wms_layers function to base Workspace model so that lizard-wms
can work.


3.4.3 (2011-11-11)
------------------

- Deleted collage help button because it didn't work.

- Textual changes to satisfy pyflakes/pep8.


3.4.2 (2011-11-07)
------------------

- Nothing changed yet.


3.4.1 (2011-11-07)
------------------

- Minor layout.


3.4 (2011-11-07)
----------------

- Added layout_extra_from_request to AdapterMixin.

- Updated adapter views for image and values: you can now provide start and
end dates in the url parameters.

- Added new adapter function identifiers.

- Fixed bug where tipsy tooltips didn't close correctly
https://office.nelen-schuurmans.nl/trac/ticket/3378
https://github.com/jaz303/tipsy/issues/19

- Added tooltip to the remove icon within the workspace

3.3 (2011-10-31)
----------------

- Cleaned up admin.py.

- Added experimental rest.js to handle rest apis.

- Improved i18n and tipsy tooltips.


3.2 (2011-10-06)
----------------

- Nothing changed yet.


3.1.5 (2011-10-05)
------------------

- Replaced dialogReplaceTitles with the more generic dialogReplaceIds
and replaceItems. After submitting a dialog box you can now change
the items you like. Some gui elements will be re-initialized.

- Fixed updating animation slider after changing period.

- Fixed animation slider bug.

- Updated MANIFEST.in to use graft.


3.1.4 (2011-10-05)
------------------

- Added option for restrict_to_month with javascript
enabling/disabling field.

- Added view for statistics, javascript loading statistics in collage
screen because that could take a while.

- Added reload page + message when period is changed in collage screen.

- Fixed collage item add when name is too long.

- Fixed javascript_hover_handler.

- Updated CollageItemEditorView to work correctly with adapter.image.

- Collage item editor: No week and day.

- Collage item editor: group fields are now filled in for every
collage item in the group.

- Cleaned up unused code.

- Moved export csv button to table "Bewerken".

- Statistics in collage screen are now below edit options.

- Changed geoserver url to ip address, see #3283.

- And yet another (last) bug in **identifier in
html_default. Apparently keys from identifiers are transformed to
unicode on the server, while the development environment works just fine.


3.1.3 (2011-10-03)
------------------

- Convert keys of adapter.identifier to str before using it in
html_default.


3.1.2 (2011-10-03)
------------------

- Fixed error in MANIFEST.in. 3.1.1 didn't include any lizard-map/* data.


3.1.1 (2011-10-03)
------------------

- Fixed CollageEditItem.csv_url function.

- Fixed bug with collage items. The popup crashed as well as the
collage screen.

- Moved from company-internal svn to github:
https://github.com/lizardsystem/lizard-map .


3.1 (2011-09-30)
----------------

- Fixed Color/Mapnik Color related bug.

- Added non-blockable spaces to html_default.html to prevent
disappearing icons.

- Improved float layout in collage detail: statistics.

- Reload page after changing collage in collage detail screen.

- Fixed problem when adding collage items by coordinates (name too long).

- Fixed (re-) sorting of collage items.

- Improved layout collage-item editor popup.

- Improved layout collage edit detail screen.

- Improved export csv link in popup: now for every location.

- Moved Grouping_hint check from adapter.location to
adapter.location['identifier']. Apparently this was the location of
the grouping hint.

- Pylint.

- Added option "add to selection" in map popup.

- Removed console.log and alert from js.

- Fixed popup dialog size, it will now always be the default size.

- Fixed "pan & zoom to default location". After changes in workspace
the button didn't work anymore.

- WMS background maps can now be used as overlays.


3.0 (2011-09-28)
----------------

Lizard 3: Make sure you read the readme before upgrading to this version.

- Rebuilt collage screen with grouping.

- Added configchecker.

- Added migration for new models; South introspection rules.

- Integrated search_name in search_coordinates.

- Various functions work on WorkspaceEdits and WorkspaceStorages.

- Added generic dialog javascript code.

- Added generic POST action javascript code.

- Made app_screen class-based, with helper class WorkspaceView.

- Added new workspaces, collages.

- Added PeriodMixin with tests.

- Added all kinds of mixins for workspaces, collages, etc:
GoogleTrackingMixin, WorkspaceMixin, WorkspaceEditMixin, MapMixin,
CollageMixin, DateRangeMixin.

- Added class based views: AppView,
WorkspaceStorageView, HomepageView, CollageDetailView.

- Added class based views for dialogs: ActionDialogView, WorkspaceSaveView,
WorkspaceLoadView, DateRangeView, CollageItemEditorView,
WorkspaceStorageListView, CollageView, CollageEmptyView,
CollageItemEditView, CollagePopupView, WorkspaceEmptyView.

- Adapter stuff: AdapterMixin, ImageMixin, AdapterImageView, AdapterCsvView.


2.5 (2011-09-23)
----------------

- Not mentioning pyproj as a dependency anymore, even though we *do* need
it. Somehow the osc.recipe.sysegg buildout recipe doesn't really want to
play nice with it.

- When there's an non-existing adapter (=invalid/non-existing entry point
name), we now also delete the workspace item instead of raising an
error. There just might be an old workspace item laying around in a
customer's session and we shouldn't keep the customer stuck in an
error 500.


2.4 (2011-09-22)
----------------

- The context processor now first weeds out faulty workspace items before
attempting anything else. This prevents an "error 500": normally the
workspace item gets deleted, but the .is_animatable call still breaks on the
just-deleted workspaceitem. Now we first remove the faulty ones beforehand.


2.3 (2011-09-20)
----------------

- Made the automatic invalid-workspaceitem-deletion more robust.

- Removed the youtube popup. Unused at the moment. And the implementation was
terribly hardcoded.

- Commented out all the debugging in the symbolmanager


2.2 (2011-09-02)
----------------

- 2.1.13 stated "please clear your session info when you upgrade to this
version as the fix to #3181 stores different information." This release
fixes that. No session data deletion is needed anymore.


2.1.13 (2011-09-01)
-------------------

- Fixed a problem in the date range selector, namely that the day of the end
date with move to the next day when the user selected another month of the
end date (#3181).

- Added request to templatetag snippet_group to be able to use request in
adapters' html function.


2.1.12 (2011-08-30)
-------------------

- Added try/except around hotshot in profile middleware, because it
requires python-profiler.

- Added request to layout_options in popup_collage_json. The request
is needed in some adapter.html functions in order to get user
datetime/periods.


2.1.11 (2011-08-30)
-------------------

- Fixed progress cursor in popup_click_handler().

- Zoom to closest extent is no longer used for workspace items.


2.1.10 (2011-08-24)
-------------------

- Requiring lizard-ui 3.0 now, which also means Django 1.3. Updated the
buildout and the testsettings for that. We're also using the KGS (known good
set) now to limit the amount of version pinning.


2.1.9 (2011-08-16)
------------------

- Edited mouse progress on click in map.


2.1.8 (2011-08-05)
------------------

- Added function to list icons names.


2.1.7 (2011-08-04)
------------------

- Fixed background-map wms. Updated template and js.

- Changed font-size for long legend texts in adapter.py. #3095.

- Added pdf.png icon. Use pdf.png as mask as well with color ffffff.

- Changed breadcrumbs according to #2499. The behaviour is as follows:
home for home screen and home -> screen for other screens.

- Fixed clicking bug in FF5: set pixelTolerance to null instead if 0
is a workaround for the OpenLayers bug. #3108.


2.1.6 (2011-07-29)
------------------

- Added function to convert WGS84 coordinates to RD.

- Updated point_3.png: the upper left corner contained an error.

- Added truncation of workspace-item-names to 80 characters (the
server would otherwise crash on longer names).

- Now using QuerySet.count instead of len(QuerySet.all()) in workspace
manager.

- Added some rel=tipsy html parameters.

- Pinned lizard_ui to 2.1.4


2.1.5 (2011-07-25)
------------------

- Settings are now cached. After deleting and saving the cache will be
invalidated.

- Added setting option javascript_hover_handler. Setting this option
to 'popup_hover_handler' will enable mouse overs. Note: run a
migrate after upgrading, the Setting.key field can now be 40
characters.

- #3096: fixed blue info button in workspace-acceptables (they appear
in lizard-shape).


2.1.4 (2011-07-14)
------------------

- iPad update: the (+) works again as well as some trees on the
sidebar. #3003, #3004.


2.1.3 (2011-07-12)
------------------

- Removed draggability of workspace-acceptables.

- Made the adapter.extent function optional. In
WorkspaceItem.has_extent we now just detect if the function is at
all present. #3041, #3036.

- Added wms layers to transparency function. #3039.

- Updated googlemaps_api_keys in fixture: the new key is for
lizardsystem.nl and all its subdomains.

- Updated workspace_item_empty: When emptying workspace, the
snippet-groups will also be deleted. #3031.

- Added try/except around search_coordinates and search_name for
#3033.


2.1.2 (2011-06-30)
------------------

- Adapter.legend: removed "force_legend_below" behaviour when width <
500. TODO: fix force_legend_below or remove.

- Changed adapter.legend: self.axes.legend instead of
self.figure.legend. Everything seems ok.


2.1.1 (2011-06-30)
------------------

- Added google_tracking_code from settings to context_processor, if
available.

- Added try/except in WorkspaceCollageSnippetGroup.values_table (used
in "show tables" of collage view), because some adapters don't
implement the adapter.values function.


2.1 (2011-06-29)
----------------

- Temporary disable sorting in workspace when a new workspace-item is
being added. Solves #2961.


2.0.1 (2011-06-22)

-----------------

- Re-enabled custom y tick locator amount selection.

- Showing the table now looks at the table belonging to the button by means of
a wrapper div, which is more reliable.

1.86 (2011-06-16)
-----------------

- Added bare try/except around wms workspace layer looping to prevent
the function to crash.

- Added transparency_slider to context variables. From now on the
transparency_slider is enabled by default.

- Added optional popup_video_url parameter to the ``homepage()`` view. This
video url, when used, should point to the embed urls of YouTube videos.

yearlabel is now at first tick of year.

- Added default "javascript_click_handler" (namely ``popup_click_handler``) to
the context via the lizard_map context processor.

- Added migration for BackgroundMap and Setting models.

- Changed "zoom to box" instead of "pan to center" when clicking
workspace-acceptable or workspace-item magnifying glass.

- Added BackgroundMap and Setting models. Model BackgroundMap used to
store the configuration of single background maps and if the map is
the default one. Setting is to store global, end-user changeable

-----------------

- Added support for ApplicationScreens.

-----------------

- Added more tests (test coverage now at 62%).

- Various UI and javascript fixes.

- Showing aggregation period data in the statistics table.

- Various visual fixes.

- Deleting a workspace item also deletes the corresponding snippets.

- Added color pulldown for collage view settings (instead of requiring you to
know the internal matplotlib color code names :-) )


1.6 (2010-08-26)
----------------

- Animation slider and name-hover are now also working in the default
workspace view.

- Name hover is now placed just to the lower right of the cursor. This way
you can still click on the item you hovered above instead of your click
being blocked sometimes by the hovering name.

- Added dateperiods: calculate periods for use in graphs.

- Added styling for popups.


1.4 (2010-08-23)
----------------

a simple CharField. Oracle stores a TextField as a "NCLOB" and has some
restrictions on them (no index, no .distinct()). Anyway, this blew up on
an oracle-using installation. Fixed now.

- Removed double value_aggregate() method from base adapter: the extra one
raised a NotImplemented error and overshadowed the real method.


1.3 (2010-08-18)
----------------

the osc.recipe.sysegg in our own buildout to grab them from the system. A

combination with python 2.6.


1.2 (2010-08-16)
----------------

- Added a bit of test setup to make xml test reports possible (for integration
with Hudson). Similarly for coverage reports, also for Hudson. Automatic
code quality monitoring!

- Implemented snippet groups. Snippet groups group similar snippets in
a collage.

- Removed site-specific breadcrumbs.

- Refactored collage view. One can now edit graphs in the collage
view. The graph-only editor has been removed.

- Added an animation slider for showing map layers at specific points in
time. Only shown when there are workspace items that support it.

- Removed graph-properties that were stored in the session.

- Passing extra 'request' keyword argument to all adapter layer() methods.
**Warning**: This needs refactoring in all adapters. Advance warning:
we'll probably refactor the adapters to get the request in their
``__init__()`` method later on.


1.1 (2010-07-16)

0.9 (2010-06-18)
----------------
