TerraLib and TerraView

TerraLib is a open source GIS software library to support the development of customized geographical applications.

In 2015, the TerraLib Project Team launched a completely reengineered version of the TerraLib and TerraView 1), named TerraLib 5.0.0 LTS. Together with the TerraLib 5.0.0 LTS we also launched GIS TerraView 5.0.0 LTS. In this wiki page you can find information about TerraLib and TerraView version 5.x.y LTS, i.e., version 5.0.0 LTS and subsequent versions.

The LTS term is applicable to open-source-software projects designed to be supported for a longer than normal period - in our case two years - along of this period several adjustments can be applied in order to improve the software that will be always communicated in the distribution wiki page.

Both TerraView and TerraLib are free and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). Both are developed by the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), Brazil.

Binaries (executables) of TerraView, built for different platforms, can be downloaded from here.

To download the source code, build and install TerraLib and TerraView follow the instructions in the developer´s guide page.

For more information see the documentation page.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The TerraView 5.x.y has been built on top of the TerraLib 5.x.y. TerraLib Major version 5 presents new concepts (such as Project) that were not available in the previous major versions. It also presents new (or enhanced versions) of functions for data conversion and data exchanging; access to different data sources; map display; explanatory spatial data analysis; spatial and non-spatial queries; vector and raster processing and spatio-temporal analysis functionalities.

These changes are reflected in TerraView 5.x.y interfaces.

We would like to have feedbacks from users of the new TerraView in order to keep releasing improvements under the LTS system.

Any feedbacks should be sent to terralib-community@dpi.inpe.br.

The previous releases under the 4.x.y version can be accessed from these sites:

1) we adopt a semantic versioning system where each version number has a format Major.Minor.Patch. Bug fixes not affecting the public API increment the patch version, backwards compatible API additions/changes increment the minor version, and backwards incompatible API changes increment the major version
