1.4.0

Changes in version 1.4.0

New Features

• Added a new "share" action to the app bar.
  It creates a permalink URL to restore the view state
  and copies it to the clipboard. (#447)

  The restored state includes

  • Selected map region, zoom level, and overlays.
  • User places including the selected place.
  • Opened panels, active tabs, and any selected options.
  • Other UI-specific states such as selected items, filters, or toggle states.

• Starting with xcube Server 1.8 and xcube Viewer 1.4 it is possible to enhance
  the viewer UI by server-side contributions programmed in Python.
  For this to work, service providers can now configure xcube Server to load
  one or more Python modules that provide UI-contributions of type
  xcube.webapi.viewer.contrib.Panel.
  Users can create Panel objects and use the two decorators
  layout() and callback() to implement the UI and the interaction
  behaviour, respectively. The new functionality is provided by the
  Chartlets Python library.

  A working example can be found in the
  xcube repository.
