Release Notes

  • Added the new Whitebox Runner v2.0. This version of WbRunner is an entirely new application with many advancements over the previous version of the WbRunner. It is now written in pure Rust (compared with the old Python TkInter app) using the egui user-interface library. It has a more modern feel, is cross-platform, and has no dependencies (including Python). You can now open multiple tools simultaneously.
  • WbRunner is now the preferred way now for installing the Whitebox Toolset Extension (WTE).
  • Added the LaunchWbRunner and InstallWbExtension tools so that the Whitebox Runner will be more accessible from other Whitebox frontends. This way users will always have a good fall-back if the frontend is not up-to-date with the WBT backend, since WbRunner is always current with the installed version of WBT.
  • Added the IndividualTreeDetection tool for identifying points in a LiDAR point cloud that are associated with the tops of individual trees.
  • Added the NormalizeLidar tool for normalizing LiDAR point clouds, i.e., converting their z-values from elevation to height-above-ground.
  • Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has sponsored the open-sourcing of two tools contained in the extension, VectorStreamNetworkAnalysis and RepairStreamVectorTopology. These two tools are are now available in the WbT Open Core.
  • Fixed a bug with the LidarShift tool. The tool was calculating the shift in transformed coordinates incorrectly leading to very strange outputs.
  • The MultiscaleTopographicPositionImage tool now takes an optional hillshade image as input.
  • Lowered the peak memory requirement of the D8FlowAccumulation tool.
  • Fixed a bug with the location of the settings.json file when running plugin tools, that sometimes led to the file being located in a top-level directory, and therefore sometimes yielding a permissions error when running on systems without admin rights.
  • Fixed a bug with the vector attribute table reader that caused issue with the VectorPolygonsToRaster tool.
  • Fixed a bugs in the HorizonAngle and ExposureTowardsWindFlux tools.
  • Added a point time interpolation parameter to the LidarNearestNeighbourGridding tool.
  • Added the ListUniqueValuesRaster tool.
  • Fixed a bug with the SetNodataValue tool, where the raster data type is updated to a signed integer if the background value is negative and the input image has an unsigned data type.
  • Added a 'mean' option to the VectorPointsToRaster tool.
