2005-06-30  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* shapelib.i (new_SHPObject): Fix the test for the length of the
	part types.  It used the wrong variable.

	* shapelib_wrap.c: Regenerated from shapelib.i

	* pytest.py (make_shapefile): Add some more comments and add an
	example with a polygon with a hole.

2004-12-27  Bernhard Reiter  <bernhard@intevation.de>
	
	* README: Refering to the new homepage shapelib.maptools.org now.

2004-12-13  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* dbflib.py: Updated from difflib.i with SWIG.

	* dbflib.i: Work around a bug in the generated python code which
	leads to exception in the __del__ method when the constructor
	fails.  See the comments in the code for more details.

2004-05-28  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* README: Flesh out the some more.  Correct the shapelib
	requirements.

	* NEWS: Update the date of the actual release of 0.3

2004-05-28  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* setup.py: Determine shp_dir correctly when run with bdist_rpm
	(dbf_macros): Remove a debug print

	* NEWS: Also mention the new (compared to 0.2) setup.py

	* MANIFEST.in: New. Define which files belong into a source
	distribution

2004-05-17  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* README: Update for new release

	* setup.py (dbf_macros): New. Return the preprocessor macros
	needed to compile the dbflib wrapper.  Determine whether
	DBFUpdateHeader is available and define the right value of
	HAVE_UPDATE_HEADER
	(extensions): Use dbf_macros for the dbflibc extension

	* dbflib_wrap.c, dbflib.py: Update from dbflib.i

	* dbflib.i (DBFInfo_commit): New. Implementation of the commit
	method.  This new indirection is necessary because we use the
	DBFUpdateHeader function now which is not available in shapelib <=
	1.2.10
	(DBFFile::commit): Use DBFInfo_commit as implementation
	(pragma __class__): New. Kludge to remove the commit method when
	the DBFUpdateHeader function isn't available
	(_have_commit): New. Helper for the pragma kludge.

2003-11-03  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* dbflib.i (do_read_attribute): New helper function for reading
	one attribute as a python object
	(DBFInfo_read_attribute): New. Implement the read_attribute method
	(DBFInfo_read_record): Use do_read_attribute to read the
	individual values
	(struct DBFFile): Add the read_attribute method.

	* dbflib_wrap.c, dbflib.py: Update from dbflib.i.

2003-09-29  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* dbflib.i: Add exception typemap for the add_field method. Fixes
	Thuban bug RT#1842

	* dbflib_wrap.c: Update from dbflib.i

	* testdbf.py: New. Test cases for the dbflib bindings based on the
	unittest module

2003-08-18  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* dbflib.i (DBFInfo_write_record): Use PySequence_Check instead of
	PyMapping_Check to distinguish between sequences and mappings
	because in Python 2.3, PyMapping_Check returns true for tuples and
	lists too.

2003-05-28  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* dbflib.i (DBFInfo_read_record): Read NULL fields as None unless
	it's a string field. DBF files can't distinguish between NULL and
	an empty string. Also, check the return value of
	DBFReadStringAttribute which may return NULL to indicate errors.

	* dbflib_wrap.c: Updated from dbflib.i

2002-08-27  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* dbflib.i: Raise an exception if open or create fails.

	* shapelib.i: Slightly better wording for the IOError exception
	that open and create may raise.

	* shapelib_wrap.c, dbflib_wrap.c: Regenerated

2002-08-22  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* dbflib.i (DBFFile::commit): New method for DBFCommit.

	* dbflib_wrap.c, dbflib.py: Update from dbflib.i

2002-08-15  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* shapelib.i, dbflib.i: Make the NOCHECK trick for the ShapeFile *
	check typemap work with SWIG 1.3.

	* shapelib_wrap.c, dbflib_wrap.c: Regenerate from the .i files.

2002-05-10  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* dbflib.i (DBFInfo_write_record): Only DECREF if the return value
	of PyMapping_GetItemString is not NULL. Also, test the return
	value of PySequence_GetItem
	(write_field): Remove some debug prints

	* dbflib_wrap.c: Updated from dbflib.i

2002-05-07  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* shptreemodule.c (SHPTreeType, initshptree): Set SHPTreeType's
	PyType_Type pointer in the init function.
	(shptree_methods): Use METH_VARARGS
	(shptree_dealloc): Use PyMem_DEL
	(shptree_find_shapes): Add a missing return

2002-05-07  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* shptreemodule.c: New file with a simple wrapper for shapelib's
	quadtree

	* setup.py: Some fixes to use explicit forward slashes as
	directory separators because of distutils.
	(extensions): Add the shptree module.

	* pytest.py (read_shapefile): Add some demo calls for the shptree
	module

	* pyshapelib_api.h (PyShapeLibAPI): Add some of the shptree
	functions.

	* shapelib.i (the_api): add the tree API functions.

	* shapelib_wrap.c: Updated from shapelib.i with SWIG.

2002-04-11  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* pyshapelib_api.h: New file with a limited C-level API for
	accessing shapilib functions from other Python-extensions.

	* shapelib.i: Export the C-level API with the c_api function.

	* shapelib.py, shapelib_wrap.c: Updated from shapelib.i. Still
	done with a very old version of SWIG, but it's probably not worth
	it to try it with a newer version as long as this still works.

2001-07-18  Bernhard Herzog  <bh@intevation.de>

	* shapelib.i (open_ShapeFile): declare the swig prototype
	correctly with ShapeFile* as return type
	(ShapeFile.cobject): New method returning the SHPHandle* as a
	CObject

	* Makefile (VERSION): Increase to 0.3

	* setup.py, MANIFEST.in: New files for python distutils.

	SHPPartTypeName as part_type_name
	(SHPObject_vertices):
	(build_vertex_list): Put building a list of vertices into the
	separate function build_vertex_list so that SHPObject_vertices can
	support SHPT_POINT too.

	* ChangeLog: create ChangeLog
