<h2>Recent Development</h2>

<p>The shapefile module seen a vast improvement in quality, particularly with regards to index support and interactive editing.<br />
This branch is still actively patched for uDig 1.1.x series.</p>

<h4><a class="confluence-link" href="/display/GEOTOOLS/2.4.x" data-linked-resource-id="65815" data-linked-resource-type="page" data-linked-resource-default-alias="2.4.x" data-base-url="http://docs.codehaus.org">2.4.x</a></h4>
<p>Shapefile index extension was folded back into the core plugin.<br />
A single ShapefileDataStoreFactorySPI was made that will create either a ShapefileDataStore or IndexedShapefileDataStore as the occasion requires.</p>

<p>This release has a known fatal deadlock when editing.</p>

<p>The shapefile code was rewritten to hide all file access behind a single read/write lock - fixing the fatal deadlock above.<br />
Duplicate code removed (between ShapefileDataStore and IndexedShapefileDataStore)<br />
Some Attribute index code was donated, although it has not been folded in yet.</p>

<p>We really want feedback on this one!</p>

<h2>Module Status</h2>

<p>The shapefile module is stable, we could use some help supporting attribute indexs.</p>
