Viking 0.9.3 (2007-10-21)
New features since 0.9.2

* Half-drawn redraw for faster refreshing display of viewport (Maps, tracks, waypoints...)
* Allow multiple selections when adding DEM files.
* (Semi) auto downloading and importing for SRTM 90m DEM file (worldwide).
* Indicating areas which have DEM file download but not imported.
* "Minimum elevation" is now configurable for DEM layer. It can be used together with the existing "Max Elev" to make DEM display more distinguish colors for a particular area of interest.
* Interpolating DEM data.
* Add realtime tracking to GPS layer with track recording.
* Trackpoints acquired in realtime mode store extra information of speed, course, fix mode and number of satellites.
* Track properties dialog no longer blocks user interaction on main window. Using multiple track dialogs (simultaneously for different tracks) is now allowed.
* Make use of DEM elevation data and GPS speed data for track graphs (Properties Dialog).
* Track Properties: now displays track distance/time instead of "Selected Time".
* Marker for selected position on track graphs.
* Various enhancement to improve usability of track dialog.
* Mouse cursor is now changed accordingly to tool currently in used.
* Magic Scissors (Automatically drawing track between points) can now be undone using right click, and extended via Ctrl-click.
* Shortcuts for panning: Ctrl-arrow key, and Shift-scroll and Ctrl-scroll.
* Extend track.
* Ctrl-shift-scroll to zoom like google, scroll to zoom w/o changing center.
* Preview adding a trackpoint by drawing a line when moving mouse.
* Esc key used to stop track edition.
* Backspace key used to remove last added point.
* Use $BROWSER environment variable (for viewing geocache pages).
* Automatically fetching google version numbers.
* Upgrading to API 0.5 of OSM.

Fixes since 0.9.2

* Fix: Make viking's default start location somewhere more likely has maps.
* Fix: bug that causes crashes when using "Maps Download" tool.
* Fix: Adding command line option framework (--help & --version).
* Fix #1789550: mkdtemp usage is conditioned.
* Fix #1789550: define MAX macro if not defined on ALL systems.
* Fix: optional geocaching -- include config.h to compile.
* Fix: DEM Layer copy/paste.
* Fix: crashes on using wrong tools.
* Fix: bugs that caused odd display of date/time on track properties dialog.
* Fix: Correctly calculate position when click on speed-time graph.
* Fix: Relax dependencies about glib.
* Fix: Upgrading to API 0.5 of OSM.
* Fix: plotting of DEM data on elevation graph.
