Ariane

Release Notes - Ariane v26.3.0 This release introduces multilingual UI support (French, German, Spanish), a new dynamic plugin container with proper JPMS module loading, the new XYZ export plugin, an Excel-style data table mode, and a major overhaul of the licensing pipeline. New Features - Multilingual UI Support (i18n): - The user interface is now fully translatable through resource bundles, with built-in support for English, French, German, and Spanish. - Languages other than English currently rely on automatic translation and may include minor wording inaccuracies. The plugins are open source and contribution is welcome ! - Language is selectable from the Options dialog and persisted as a user preference. - Translations are delivered as separate plugin modules (fr, de, es), allowing additional languages to be shipped independently of the main application. - Property files are now loaded with proper UTF-8 handling for correct rendering of accented characters. - Dynamic Plugin Container: - Introduced PluginContainer, a new modular plugin loading mechanism built on the Java Platform Module System (JPMS). - Plugins are now resolved through their actual module names embedded in each jar, making discovery robust even when filenames differ from module names. - External plugins coexist cleanly with bundled translation and import/export plugins under a unified module layer. - XYZ Export Plugin: - New plugin to export survey data in plain XYZ coordinate format, useful for interchange with point-cloud and GIS tools. - Excel Mode in Data Table: - Added a spreadsheet-style editing mode with full keyboard navigation (Tab / Enter / arrow keys) for fast data entry across survey rows. - Reset Preferences / Reset All: - The launcher now offers explicit "Reset Preferences" and "Reset All" actions to recover from a corrupted local state without manual file cleanup. - A matching erasePrefs Gradle task is available for developers and support workflows. Improvements & Fixes - Plugin System: - Fixed external plugin name casing in PluginContainer. - Refactored ModuleLayer retrieval to remain compatible with nested module layers used by the plugin loader. - Build scripts now compile i18n translation plugins and generate per-module manifest files. - UI / FXML: - Refined FXML layouts across multiple views for improved consistency, alignment, and platform behavior under the updated JavaFX version. - Reverted icon changes in the Layer tab, Carto tool section, and the swap button to preserve the established iconography. - Fixed null handling in the language display conversion in OptionsController. - DisplayTool.fxml: wrapped displayDataToggleLabel in a Group and adjusted rotation for correct labeling on rotated views. - Survey Data: - Fixed SurveyData#setDate to correctly handle empty string input. - Optimized local coordinate retrieval by caching offsets in CaveGeo, reducing redundant computation in map rendering paths. - Build & Tooling: - Updated Gradle wrapper to 9.4.1. - Updated GitHub Actions workflows to the latest action versions. - Updated JavaFX version. - Image assets refreshed for various tools and icons.
