1.6

We're very excited to announce version 1.6 which adds two new features: trans-Pacific routes and node limiting.

Flights that cross the Pacific will now be represented by a line that jumps from the left edge of the map to the right or vice-versa instead of a line that spans the entire map. Ideally we will offer a pacific regional focus mode soon that will center the Pacific ocean in the map view, but this will do until then.

Node limiting makes your XML file easier to deal with. You can keep as many points as you like in the XML but tell IndyJunior to only look at some of them. With node limiting turned on Indy will only read, say, the previous 4 points, the current point, and the next four points. This is a convenient way to focus the map display to immediate data.
