[Luis W. Sevilla]

Hello,

We inform you that gvSIG is initiating the stabilisation process of the next

0.6-rc1,

Hereby, we would like to encourage you to participate in this project by
informing us about any detected error, simplest way by the means of the 
e-mail
distribution list.
Definitely, we appreciate every kind of feedback and suggestion.

New features of this version:

Web Services (OGC)

      - The clients of two new web services are integrated:
               o	Catalogue Service: In a Spatial Data Infrastructure, 
this is a
basic service that helps to search and find cartographic data
               o	Nomenclature Service (Gazetteer): Helps to localise 
positions on
the basis of toponymy and geographic names

      - Several features of the WMS client have been improved:
               o	More user-friendly interface
               o	Complete information about every layer of the WMS server
               o Style formatting
               o	Support of temporal dimensions
               o	Possibility to configure the intern order of the layer 
rendering
process
               o	Layers of the table of contents are manageable from the 
context
menu


Supported data formats:
      -The feature “Export to raster” supports two new data formats:
               o	jpeg (georeferenced)
               o	jpeg2000 (georeferenced)


Raster layers:
      -The pansharpening tool helps to increase the resolution of satellite
images, if they are panchromatic.


Type of data sources:
      -It is possible to create layers on the basis of a table that contains
coordinates. The resulting layer will contain a point for every pair of
coordinates. Furthermore, any change of the table coordinates will modify
automatically the position of the points.



We count on your collaboration.
Kind regards
