Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo-Live 9.0 Released

15 September 2014

Version 9.0 of the OSGeo-Live GIS software collection<http://live.osgeo.org> 
has been released, featuring over 50 open source, standards compliant 
geospatial applications.

Release Highlights

64 bit architecture support
We are now providing both 32 and 64 bit architecture support. The Virtual 
Machine version has moved to 64 bit architecture.

if required.
