name=Vista Saga Plugin
description=Geospatial assessment, monitoring, signatures, map combination, format conversion, Voronoi analyses and animated map sequences for QGIS 4.x.
about=Independent QGIS 4.x geoprocessing plugin. Seven modules: spatial evaluation, spatial monitoring, spatial signatures, thematic map combination, RS2/GeoTIFF/vector conversion, Voronoi analyses (simple, mass, friction, mass and friction, including multiple weighted friction rasters), and map sequencing (raster, vector and mixed) to GIF and PNG. The Voronoi friction model uses straight-line accumulation with an explicitly documented per-cell baseline. Numerical equivalence with the original Vista SAGA/UFRJ has not been established. Independently implemented; not affiliated with the original Vista SAGA/UFRJ project. The internal geosaga package and Processing algorithm identifiers remain unchanged for compatibility. Functionally tested and approved on Windows 11 and Linux/Flatpak by the project tester.

changelog=1.0.4: Stable release. Automatic QGIS language detection with Brazilian Portuguese and English localization; direct seven-module dropdown replacing the dashboard; custom hand-and-globe icon sized for QGIS and QRibbonSkin; functionally approved on Windows 11 and Linux/Flatpak. Algorithms and historical geosaga identifiers unchanged. Spanish translations remain partial. 1.0.4-rc10: shorten main action and submenu caption to Vista Saga Plugin; add optimized 19px icon for QRibbonSkin standard-size button, preserving the native seven-module QMenu and all processing algorithms. 1.0.4-rc9: preserve one icon-bearing QGIS action in Raster and Plugins native menus so QRibbonSkin presents a single dropdown with seven modules, preventing icon loss and overflow; keep numerical and translation files unchanged. 1.0.4-rc8: use one native QAction with icon and seven-module dropdown in both QGIS toolbar (compact 24 px) and QGIS Plugins menu, allowing QRibbonSkin to expose it in its Plugins tab; no changes to geoprocessing or translations. 1.0.4-rc7: place one dropdown QToolButton with verified PNG icon on a dedicated visible QGIS toolbar; avoid dependence on hidden Plugins toolbar; preserve the seven module actions and processing algorithms. 1.0.4-rc6: fix missing toolbar icon by switching to the native QGIS QAction+QMenu integration and provide the previously developed colorful hand-and-globe icon at several resolutions; without changing numerical engines. 1.0.4-rc5: replace module dashboard with a single dropdown toolbar button, apply established icon and visual identity, and update Linux/Flatpak validation status; no numerical algorithm changes. 1.0.4-rc4: translate initial/final map group headings and period labels in raster and vector monitoring; preserve original processing logic. 1.0.4-rc3: fix untranslated combo-box options, RS2 operation descriptions, feature-id/legend placeholders, Voronoi modes, evaluation helper buttons, monitoring periods and sequencer controls identified in user screenshots; extend English translations; leave algorithm engines and parameter identifiers unchanged. 1.0.4-rc2: expanded English catalog for static GUI texts in all seven modules, QGIS file dialogs, Processing help and warnings; preliminary Spanish catalog; automatic QGIS interface locale detection. Some dynamic messages and option texts remain untranslated. No numerical processing algorithms changed. 1.0.4-rc1: initial localization preview. No numerical algorithms changed. 1.0.3: fix three Python code-quality findings (F402, E741, F811) without changing processing algorithms. 1.0.2: fix six QGIS 4/Qt6 enum references for QgsTask flags, QgsWkbTypes geometry types and projection-selection CRS option; no numerical engine changes. 1.0.1: replace broad silent exception handling in optional RS2/GeoTIFF vector symbology with explicit QGIS warning logs; no geospatial engines changed. 1.0.0: final module menu/panel order and shortened public labels (Assinatura, Monitoria, Avaliação). No numerical engines or historical Processing identifiers changed. Seven modules functionally validated on QGIS 4.2.2 Windows; historical numerical equivalence remains unverified. 0.9.0: release audit, QGIS metadata and GitHub repository links. 0.8.7: raster/vector/mixed map sequencer.
