Dear (Geo)wankers,
I'm pleased to announce that there is a new release of mapnik (0.2.5a),
together with a new website - http://mapnik.org. For those who haven't
come across it, one of the project's goals is to provide high-quality
anti-aliasing rendering of geo data - think Google Maps as for USA and
UK (and not Japan - yuk! horrid). But this is not the only goal :-P
This release offers:
1. new build system
2. new INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3. new symbolizers (polygon/line patterns)
4. lots of fixes.
There were a few postings on this list about ideas and projects for
which mapnik can be a good companion IMHO. Just one example off the top
of my head: Multi-Resolution Dataset Wiki - documents, scripts, how-to's
- great! But why not give everyone Free software to render all those
layers into AJAX viewer compatible tiles as well?
Feedback and comments are always welcome!
Best
Artem Pavlenko
