Version history

Version 3.0

New features

• Multi-habitat: a project can include several habitats, and a graph can link several habitats together
• Integration of land-use change functions (Land changes menu) into the graphical user interface (GUI)
• Habitats can be added from a vector layer, and not only from the landscape map

Improvements

• New corridor calculation weighted by a metric in raster mode
• All metrics calculated in a project can be retrieved from the Metrics | Show metrics menu
• External data generalized to all types of vector data and can be integrated directly into a graph

Version 2.8

Improvements

• Support for Java versions higher than 15
• Better stability of the planar topology at project creation
• Habitat patches from multiple land use codes may not be merged at project creation
• New options for corridor calculation (command line only)

Version 2.6

Improvements

• Speed up computing time for linksets and corridors
• Planar linkset can ben thresholded to speed up calculation
• New options for converting distances to cost
• Display a local or delta metric previously calculated from the graph's context menu
• The cost definition for new linkset can be loaded from another one

Version 2.4

New features

• Corridor export in raster
• GeoPackage support for vectorial data
• Distance matrix in command line (--pointdistance)

Improvements

• Clustering : step selection for limiting memory consumption
• Capacity : area weighting (command line only --capa area)

Version 2.2

New features

• Corridor computation in graphical user interface
• New metrics : EC, Wilks and IF (replacing FPC)
• Land use changes (command line only : --landmod)

Improvements

• For distance setting, the unit (meter or cost) is displayed
• Clustering: all steps are kept
• Clustering can be used in command line (--cluster)
• If the capacities do not represent patch area, the PC and ICC metrics cannot be used (use EC metric instead)
• The beta parameter has been removed from PC and dPC metric

Version 2.0

New features

• Grouping patches in meta-patches
• Graph clustering by modularity index
• Removing patches whose capacity is too low
• Circuit theory on the graph : CF metric and distance matrix
• Corridors (command line only)

Improvements

• Habitat can be defined by several landscape categories
• Patch addition is also available in graphical interface
• Least cost paths may take into account slope
• Automatic conversion of metric distance to "cost" distance
