Subject: GeoKettle v3.1.0-20081103 released!

The GeoSOA research group is proud to announce the release of a new version of
GeoKettle. GeoKettle v3.1.0-20081103 is still in alpha version but brought many
new interesting features.

GeoKettle is a "spatially-enabled" version of Pentaho Data Integration (Kettle,
http://kettle.pentaho.org). Pentaho Data Integration (Kettle) is a powerful,
metadata-driven ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) tool dedicated to the integration
of different data sources for building data warehouses. It is part of the open
source BI (Business Intelligence) software suite designed by Pentaho (http://www.pentaho.com).
This special distribution of Kettle includes extensions which enable the use
of geospatial (GIS) data. Like Kettle, GeoKettle is released under the GNU Lesser
General Public License (LGPL).

GeoKettle v3.1.0-20081103 is still in alpha version but demonstrates the potential
of this ETL tool dedicated to spatial data warehouses and Spatial OLAP (SOLAP)
applications.

What's new since release 2.5.2-20080531 ?

o The GeoKettle extensions were ported to the new Pentaho Data Integration 
(PDI) version 3.1.0-GA. As such, this release of GeoKettle includes all the 
improvements from the new PDI version. 
o Changed the core Geometry object framework from GeOxygene to the Java 
  Topology Suite (JTS). 
o Added native support for Oracle Spatial and MySQL geospatial DBMS. 
o Speed improvements: due to the upgrade of PDI core and to the JTS library,
GeoKettle now offers better throughput. We measured a typical speedup of 
  row throughput between 15% and 60% (depending of the transformation) when 
using geospatial data.

Hoping you will enjoy GeoKettle.
