Version 1.3

Release Date: April 4, 2003

Semantics Changes

  • all Geometry methods are now reentrant (thread-safe)
  • Fixed-precision coordinates are now stored in a rounded but non-scaled form. This makes them compatible with non-precise (Floating) coordinates, and simplifies working with precise coordinates directly. Mixed precision models are now supported in Geometry methods; method results are in the more precise of the input precision models.
  • Offsets are no longer supported in the Fixed precision model. This is necessary to allow storing fixed precision coordinates in a non-scaled form. This does not reduce the total precision available, since coordinates are stored in a floating-point format.
  • SRID and Precision Model are no longer checked for equality during Geometry operations. This removes a limitation which provided little semantic benefit.

Functionality Improvements

  • added Geometry.isWithinDistance(Geometry g, double distance) method, to provide optimized proximity queries
  • added Geometry.buffer(double distance, int quadrantSegments) method, allowing control over accuracy of buffer approximation
  • added Geometry.getCentroid() method

  • GeometryFactory.toGeometryArray now returns null if the argument is null

Performance Improvements

  • Removed unnecessary string construction in EdgeEndStar.propagateSideLabels()
  • Eliminated unnecessary computation of self-intersections in rings during relate and spatial functions. This provides a large increase in speed when working with large rings and polygons. (Note that IsValid still checks for these self-intersections, which are illegal in LinearRings)
  • Add short-circuit code to RobustLineIntersector to detect non-intersections more efficiently

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed ClassCastException occurring in GeometryCollection.getLength()
  • Fixed bug in Edge Intersection insertion (replaced Coordinate#equals with equals2D to ensure that intersection creation is not sensitive to Z-value).
  • Fixed handling LineStrings with too few points in GeometryGraph.addLineString
  • Fixed: was not checking that MultiPolygons don't contain components with too few points.
  • Fixed Envelope.distance() to return correct distance for all envelopes.
  • Fixed a few Geometry methods to make them re-entrant.

  • Fixed bug preventing validating Rings containing an initial repeated point.

API Changes

  • Added default constructor to WKTReader. It uses the default GeometryFactory
  • Add two static intersects() methods to Envelope, to allow computing intersections with envelopes defined by points only.

  • The Geometry class is now marked as Serializable

Version 1.2

Release Date: 7 October 2002

Semantics Changes

  • JTS now allows Geometrys to have repeated points. All operations will continue to perform as before. This removes a significant incompatibility with the OGC spatial data model.
  • TopologyExceptions may now be thrown by spatial overlay methods. This helps to distinguish between code bugs and known robustness problems. It also provides a machine-readable coordinate for the error location.

Functionality Improvements

  • RobustLineIntersector now uses "normalized" coordinates to maximize the accuracy of intersection computation.
  • Upgraded Quadtree with more robust implementation
  • Replaced IntervalTree with a more robust implementation of BinTree

  • Fixed isValid for GeometryCollections containing Polygons, which were sometimes erroneously returning a validity failure for correct Geometrys.
  • Fixed bug in LineSegment.distancePointLine() which would return the incorrect distance for a LineSegment with two identical points
  • Improved error handling in CGAlgorithms.isCCW()
  • IsValid now checks for too few points in a geometry component (e.g. due to repeated points in a ring)

API Changes

  • added Stopwatch class
