Geomajas 1.7.0 in staging

The Geomajas team is proud to announce the latest Geomajas release (1.7.0). This new release focuses in the first place on a new and updated plug-in system where all plug-ins are now independent projects. From Geomajas 1.7.0 on, all plug-ins (and faces) will have their own release cycles. This means that a bug in one of the plug-ins does not require a complete new release of the whole Geomajas project.

Secondly this release also completes the required OSGeo Provenance report. The ownership (IP) of every single line of code has been accounted for, and many of the samples in the showcase have been altered to make sure no licenses are broken. Visit the OSGeo website (here) to view the provenance report in detail.

Altough no new functionality has been added in the strictest sense, this release does feature a whole range of bugfixes.

Currently Geomajas 1.7.0 is in staging, and will remain so until wednesday 14 July, 8:00 CET. You can test this release already by using the Sonatype staging repository. Unless some serious issues reveal themselves before than, by wednesday Geomajas 1.7.0 will be a fact.

Enjoy!
