[Freegis-list] FreeGIS news

[Jan-Oliver Wagner]

Dear all,

here is a short summary on recent updates:

new at FreeGIS (and it blames for me that it took so long to add):

OGR Simple Features Library

	The OGR Simple Features Library is a C++ open source library
	(and commandline tools) providing read (and sometimes write) access
	to a variety of vector file formats including ESRI Shapefiles,
	and Mapinfo mid/mif and TAB formats.
	Version: 1.1.1
	License: MIT
	The author is Frank Warmerdam, one of the busiest contributors
	to Free GIS software.
		

Updates:

GPSMan 5.1 -> 5.2

	GPSMan is a graphical manager for GPS data and supports several
	GPS devices.
	Miguel Filgueir released the new version with many new and improved
	features.
	Anyone working with GPS should try out this tool.
	Miguel says that a real-time track logging with a moving map
	is under implementation and hopefully will be available before Christmas.
	Wow.


MapIt! 0.5 -> 0.6

	MapIt! is a light, raster-only, web mapping component.
	The update covers small improvements and a better
	packaging/installation. Work on simplifying installation
	continues ..

GMT 3.3.5 -> 3.3.6

	Paul Wessel, one of the main authors of GMT, has
	released a new version with several bug fixes and
	also some new features.
	GMT is a powerful collection of command line tools
	that everyone should have tried who is interested
	in producing maps in EPS format. GMT also
	allows to manipulate data.

Cheers

	Jan
