MapFish Release 2.0 is ready !

The MapFish community is proud to announce MapFish 2.0!

The highlights of the release are:

* MapFish 2 comes with GeoAlchemy, and uses GeoAlchemy internally. Among other things, this brings MapFish support for PostGIS as well as Spatialite, MySQL, and Oracle Spatial. See to know more about
GeoAlchemy.

* MapFish 2 is based on Pylons 1.0, the first stable version of Pylons.
* the API of MapFish 2 is incompatible with that of MapFish 1.2, see to know how to migrate your applications.
* the client plugin installs OpenLayers 2.9.1, and GeoExt 0.7 in the application, and does not longer install MapFish Client.

The full list of enhancements and bug fixes can be found in the Release Notes.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the release, and especially to Tobias Sauerwein who worked on GeoAlchemy and its integration in MapFish.

We're looking forward to your feeback.
