v15.7.1

GeoDms 15.7 offers many improvements and alternatives for polygon functions using the alternative libraries for boost polygon, prefix: bp_, which are:

• boost_geometry, prefix: bg_
• https://www.cgal.org/, prefix: cgal_
• https://libgeos.org/, prefix: geos_

See #757 for a compete list:

Polygon processing improvements:

• Accelerated bp_union_polygon and bg_union_polygon by reordering the associative union operations from sequential to a balanced tree collection.

GeoDms 15.7.1 has a fix for a new error related to #783

Since 15.5.0, all operations that were scheduled after scheduling operations required for the contents of a FenceContainer can only start once all the latter operation have completed. This is to be implemented in the RuimteScanner and Hestia in order to reduce memory usage due to too many started sub-tasks.

Known issue:

• bg_union_polygon seems to loose some rings, see #775
• other bg_ functions are still being tested, see #756 and #767

Polygon related issues:

• #604, #757, #768 #773, #756, #761, #778

Other performance issues:

• #684, #275

GUI issues (DataView)

• #762, #771

Diagnostics / Eventlog

• #763

Memory / FenceContainer issue

• #759 and #127: RuimteScanner implementation requires further investigation.

Fixed Crash

• #778
