Version Published Release Notes
2.7.0.0

Finally moved to GitHub :)
1.20.0.0

v2.7: fixed a bug in the contourf function, related to contours with custom contour levels
1.19.0.0

(forgot to update version number)
1.18.0.0

v2.6: finally possible to save KMZ files(default)- auto includes models & images. fix num2str behavior, reported by Nick Mortimer. Fix to keep path when saving, reported by Alberto. Added lineWidth/lineColor to contourf, suggested by Keith Epstein.
1.17.0.0

v2.3: A couple more bug fixes (thanks to Reid Pulley for reporting them!), added one example of animation to the test folder
1.16.0.0

v2.2: A few bug fixes.
1.15.0.0

v2.1: Added support for gx:LatLonQuad overlays, so now you can add non-square images to the kml
1.14.0.0

v2.0: Some bug fixes in the filled contour, added animation support.
1.13.0.0

v1.9: Finally implemented the filled contour plot! And also made some changes to the other contour functions to match better the color scale from MATLAB.
Added also a surf function, to plot 3D colored surfaces.
1.12.0.0

v1.8: increased to the numeric precision when saving numbers as text. Added the polyMap function, to create a 3D map similar to surf, but composed of a polygons with height proportional to the cell value (similar to hist3, but without binning).
1.11.0.0

v1.7: small correction in the quiver3d function, and implementation of the classic quiver plot in 2D, without using models anymore.
1.10.0.0

v1.6: made it compatible with older versions that do not support ~ as function output. Also added the suggestion of Balam Willemsen, to make run work with OSX... Any suggestions on the Linux side are welcome :)
1.8.0.0

v1.5: updated scatter and scatter3 to accept an different icons for each point. You must supply them as a cell array with the same size of the latitude and longitude inputs.
1.7.0.0

Corrected the image in File Exchange
1.6.0.0

v1.4 - Fixed some bugs, added documentation, and a method to animate a model in a trajectory (kml.modelTour)
1.2.0.0

v 1.3: fixed a small error in the checkUnit function
1.1.0.0

v1.2: Updated to support both degree and radian inputs.
1.0.0.0
