kmlcsv-2.1.0        12/24/2008

  1. Rewrote the entire software using Eclipse RCP framework.
  2. Significant improvement in performance when reading/write big files. Unlike the previous release where file content are stored into memory first, this new release streams the content directly into the viewer/file.
  3. Added a tree viewer that monitors the watched folder to provide user quick access to KML/CSV files.
  4. Richer configuration settings that allow user to specify:-
    1. the mapping between KML tag and CSV field.
    2. how to handle line break.
    3. whether overwrite an existing file or not.
  5. Added quick launcher where user can specify Google Earth and Garmin POI Loader executable application files for quick access.
  6. Cross platform compatibility, runs in Windows, Mac and Linux.

kmlcsv-2.0.1        08/14/2008

  1. Used UTF-8 format when generating flat file to preserve special characters, which otherwise be replaced by ? character.
  2. Instead of hard-coding \n for line break, used system line break to promote tool portability in future.

kmlcsv-2.0.0        07/26/2007

  1. Renamed application from “Google Earth KML/CSV Converter” to “KMLCSV Converter”.
  2. Kept each placemark information truly at one line in the CSV file. If the comment has line breaks, they are replaced with <br> tag.
  3. Double quote are escaped with another double quote to ensure they are balanced and prevents parsing error in CSV file.
  4. The version check at tool startup occasionally freezes the application especially for those who has slow Internet connection. Now, this version check is handled in the separate thread and this allows the application to be used in parallel with this version check.
  5. Fixed: Application throws exception when “Create” button is clicked without CSV input file.
  6. Alphabetically sort the loaded table content by name.
  7. Increased application window from 640×480 to 800×600.

  5. Fixed a bug where the document XML parser won’t parse certain KML files.
