The pgRouting Team is pleased to announce the release of pgRouting 2.0.0

This 2.0 release brings a number of major new features that are 
summarized in this document.

* Major New Feature in pgRouting 2.0
* Migration Guide
* Source Code Download
* Binary Distribution
* Thanks


## Major New Feature in pgRouting 2.0

pgRouting extends the PostGIS/PostgreSQL geospatial database to provide 
geospatial routing and other network analysis functionality.


This library contains following features:

* All Pairs Shortest Path, Johnson’s Algorithm **NEW**
* All Pairs Shortest Path, Floyd-Warshall Algorithm **NEW**
* Shortest Path A*
* Bi-directional Dijkstra Shortest Path **NEW**
* Bi-directional A* Shortest Path **NEW**
* Shortest Path Dijkstra
* Driving Distance
* K-Shortest Path, Multiple Alternative Paths **NEW**
* K-Dijkstra, One to Many Shortest Path **NEW**
* Traveling Sales Person **NEW Implementation**
* Turn Restriction Shortest Path (TRSP) **NEW**
* New functions for creating routing topology
* New functions for analyzing a graph for problems


## Migration Guide

pgRouting 2.0 is **not** backwards compatible with the 1.x version. This 
is a significant overhaul of the whole pgRouting environment and we have 
renamed all the functions and rationalized the arguments and return 
types. While this will be a painful migration for 1.x applications, we 
believe the new functionality, the high quality of the code, and new 
documentation will make it much easier to grow the product and support 
it over future releases.


## Source Code Download

## Thanks

Thank you to all of the users, developers, and supporters of pgRouting. 
We would like to call out special thanks to CSIS (University of Tokyo), 
Georepublic, Paragon Corporation, iMaptools.com and to Vicky Vergara for 
their time and support that really made this release possible. We also 
had a lot of support from our users testing releases, submitting 
patches, reporting issues and our apologies for not being able to list 
everyone by name but we do appreciate everyone's efforts.

Enjoy.

I've researched this problem, talked with Jo (Current author of
PortableGIS http://www.archaeogeek.com/portable-gis.html)

There is almost no way to make this work without Admin priveleges on a
windows machine. Some individual apps can be made to work by extensively
modifying how they look for libs but many require things like a jvm to
run on top of, or a mix of system an local libs (e.g. Visual C++ is
required for many OSGeo4W apps and requires an install, that's actually
about the only part that has to be installed vs just in the OSGeo4w folder).

This is actually why I settled on helping create OSGeo Live bootable
products and virtual machines. Of course this isn't perfect either as
figuring out how to boot a disk or usb seems beyond some users, and the
virtual machine still hits needing admin to install virtualization software.

I also agree there's no reason many of the documentation efforts can't
be shared.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi All,

I would like to congratulate Arnulf on the Sol Katz 2013 award
in recognition of his contributions to FOSS4G and the OSGeo
Foundation.

Looking forward to his many more contributions in the years to
come.

Cheers, Arnulf.

I'd like to add that I think both projects could be working together
very closely. For me the major value in OSGeoLive are the project
overviews and quickstarts. I''ve pointed them out to many windows
users interested in open source GIS to get an overview of what is
possible with open source gis,and I'm actually basing a training on
them as well.
My own impression is that if we want to reach out to non-geek GIS
users the ideal way would be a system like portable GIS with the great
documentation of the live dvd, ie run and test the programs without
needing to be admin or having to install different programs.
My experience of building packages on windows is scanty, but if more
people support this idea I'm definitely willing to stand up and do
part of the work, if only because I'll need training material for
windows.
