Xrmap now directly reads the vector formats EPS and SVG or the bitmap formats PNG, GIF, and JPEG. The GUI has been partially reworked and should be easier to navigate. The collection of SVG flags is quite complete (about 50 more entries than in the openclipart collection, including high quality vector format flags of US states).
This release integrates earthview, an interactive program that can display the earth topography and population density. The collection of flags has been replaced by the SVG flags from the openclipart collection. In total, this release can exploit several gigabytes of data (800 megabytes of optional compressed data to download, of which 20 are required).
Xrmap now features a file browser widget which is tightly integrated into the GUI, making file and theme selection easier. Several minor other enhancements have been made, including bug corrections.
This release introduces the ability to edit and manipulate the vector map data. The original pre-1990 CIA World Data Bank has been updated to include the new international border lines appeared since then (former USSR, former Yugoslavia, Czech Republic, Slovakia).
