Version 1.3

Semantics Changes

• all Geometry methods are now reentrant (thread-safe)
• Fixed-precision coordinates are now stored in a rounded but non-scaled form. This makes them compatible with non-precise (Floating) coordinates, and simplifies working with precise coordinates directly. Mixed precision models are now supported in Geometry methods; method results are in the more precise of the input precision models.
• Offsets are no longer supported in the Fixed precision model. This is necessary to allow storing fixed precision coordinates in a non-scaled form. This does not reduce the total precision available, since coordinates are stored in a floating-point format.
• SRID and Precision Model are no longer checked for equality during Geometry operations. This removes a limitation which provided little semantic benefit.

Functionality Improvements

• added Geometry.buffer(double distance, int quadrantSegments) method, allowing control over accuracy of buffer approximation
• added Geometry.getCentroid() method

• GeometryFactory.toGeometryArray now returns null if the argument is null

Performance Improvements

• Removed unnecessary string construction in EdgeEndStar.propagateSideLabels()
• Eliminated unnecessary computation of self-intersections in rings during relate and spatial functions. This provides a large increase in speed when working with large rings and polygons. (Note that IsValid still checks for these self-intersections, which are illegal in LinearRings)
• Add short-circuit code to RobustLineIntersector to detect non-intersections more efficiently

Bug Fixes

• Fixed ClassCastException occurring in GeometryCollection.getLength()
• Fixed bug in Edge Intersection insertion (replaced Coordinate#equals with equals2D to ensure that intersection creation is not sensitive to Z-value).
• Fixed handling LineStrings with too few points in GeometryGraph.addLineString
• Fixed: was not checking that MultiPolygons don't contain components with too few points.
• Fixed Envelope.distance() to return correct distance for all envelopes.
• Fixed a few Geometry methods to make them re-entrant.
• Fixed CoordinateList.closeRing() to ensure endpoints are not duplicated
• Fixed CGAlgorithms.signedArea() to use a simpler algorithm which is more robust and faster.
• Fixed bug preventing validating Rings containing an initial repeated point.

API Changes

• Add two static intersects() methods to Envelope, to allow computing intersections with envelopes defined by points only.

• The Geometry class is now marked as Serializable

Version 1.2

Semantics Changes

• JTS now allows Geometrys to have repeated points. All operations will continue to perform as before. This removes a significant incompatibility with the OGC spatial data model.
• TopologyExceptions may now be thrown by spatial overlay methods. This helps to distinguish between code bugs and known robustness problems. It also provides a machine-readable coordinate for the error location.

Functionality Improvements

• RobustLineIntersector now uses "normalized" coordinates to maximize the accuracy of intersection computation.
• Upgraded Quadtree with more robust implementation
• Replaced IntervalTree with a more robust implementation of BinTree
• Added STRTree 2-D spatial index, which exhibits better performance than QuadTrees in many situations.

• Improved error handling in CGAlgorithms.isCCW()
• IsValid now checks for too few points in a geometry component (e.g. due to repeated points in a ring)
