[Freegis-list] New Mapnik Release 0.3.0

[Artem Pavlenko]

Dear List,

I'm pleased to announce a new release of Mapnik - 0.3.0. It's been a 
long time but we have lots of new features, bug fixes, improvements.

Here are the major features:

1. License changed from GPL to LGPL
2. Python-based WMS server (WMS 1.1.1 and 1.3.0)
3. New Renderer interface
4. New Feature model
5. Font engine and text symbolization
6. Python and C++ demos
7. win32 support - yes, mapnik can be compiled (tested with vc-8_0) and 
happily runs
on windows now. (In the future win32 binaries and/or build instructions 
will be provided)
8. x86_64 support

Cheers
Artem
