Hi all,
just a quick notice to the user community that we're about to completely remove
the unsupported shapefile-renderer module from GeoTools 8.x.

The decision is based on the following criteria:
- the streaming renderer can now perform just as well as the shapefile renderer
  (on shapefiles) in most cases (and do better in some)
- the extra maintenance effort to keep shapefile-renderer alive does not meet
  the available resources
- the shapefile-renderer is already out of the release in 2.7.x

Long story short, if you really need for some reason to use the shapefile
renderer and have a strong desire to keep it alive
it would now be a good time to offer yourself as a module maintainer :-)

Cheers
Andrea
