PDS, ISIS2, ISIS3 support

• The good
• Attached, detached, tiled or raw
• Map projections (most).
• 8, 16, 32 bit
• Multiple bands
• The bad
• Only one NoData value. Means no ISIS saturation
  value support
• Needs statistics to be build to show 16 and 32bit
  ranges
• A couple GDAL bug fixes are not available (e.g.
  new continuation flag in ISIS3 label).
• Still recommend to convert to 8bit using GDAL

Editing

• The Editor toolbar has been redesigned.
• Feature templates (more like Illustrator
  editing).
• New snapping environment on by default.
• Start editing by right-clicking a layer.
• The Attributes and other editing windows have
  been redesigned.
• Selecting features and editing vertices is easier
  - select, add, and remove multiple vertices by
  drawing a box.

• A mosaic dataset is a collection of raster
  datasets (images) stored as a catalog viewed as
  a dynamically mosaicked image.
