Several OpenLayers developers and volunteers gathered after the FOSS4G conference to participate in the Saturday code sprint. And guess what: a lot was accomplished! Here is a quick overview:
Mike Adair (DM Solutions) and Julien Lacroix (Mapgears) finished Mike’s work on a graticule control, which also brings label positioning and a utility function to format coordinates

Last week, a number of OpenLayers developers gathered in Cambridge, MA to push towards a 2.7 release. Erik Uzureau and Chris Schmidt from MetaCarta hosted. Andreas Hocevar, Sebastian Benthall, Tim Coulter, and I went from the OpenGeo team. Closing tickets against 2.7 was our main objective, and we managed to get a […]
Following up on the paging strategy, I’ve put together a cluster strategy as an alternative for managing large numbers of (potentially coincident) features.
The cluster strategy intercepts batches of features before they are added to a layer. It caches all features, creates points that represent clusters of features, and sends the clusters to the layer […]
In a previous post, I wrote a bit about how we were starting to improve vector layer behavior. That work has been chugging along in a couple sandboxes. We had a dev talk some time ago about allowing multiple strategies on a single layer. Today I put together an implementation of that […]
Since 2.6 is almost here, I thought it was time to look to the future again. OpenLayers currently packs a lot into its Layer classes. This is handy. It also makes it a bit hard to reuse parts of the library in areas that the original developer might not have anticipated. […]
