hale studio 4.0.0

hale studio 4.0.0

Our main objective for this major release has been to modernize hale studio from the ground up, by making it compliant with current OpenJDK versions, using the most recent eclipse RCP version, and by upgrading as many dependencies such as GeoTools as feasible. The updates include:

• Migration to OpenJDK
• Upgrade to GeoTools 21
• Improved support for Linux and macOS (platform upgrade to Eclipse 2020-03)
• Major updates to the documentation and help
• Reader and Writer for GeoPackage
• A specific Writer for XPlanGML that supports partitioning by plan
• Added presets for CEN/TS 17268 (TN-ITS), ISO 19139, XPlanGML 4.0/4.1/5.0/5.1/5.2/5.3beta and GeoInfoDok 6.0.1/7.0/7.1
• Enhancements for GML Dictionary Codelist handling
• Support for TLS 1.2
• Various other bug fixes and enhancements

Please note that this release introduces breaking changes that affect transformation project compatibility and plug-ins compatibility. All plug-ins (e.g. GeoServer app-schema, hale studio pro Plug-Ins) need to be upgraded. Transformation projects created in hale studio 4.0 cannot be used in older versions due to the GeoTools migration.
