    <p><span style="font-family:Ubuntu;">The </span><strong><span
          style="font-family:Ubuntu;">first ‘build’ of the next gvSIG
          Desktop version for testing is already available</span></strong><span
        style="font-family:Ubuntu;">. You can download it from the ‘<a

          versions downloads</a>‘ section of the gvSIG Association
        website.</span></p>
    <p><span style="font-family:Ubuntu;">With this we encourage you to </span><strong><span
          style="font-family:Ubuntu;">help us to stabilize the next 
          gvSIG Desktop 2.5</span></strong><span
        style="font-family:Ubuntu;">. Mainly we ask you for testing
        these ‘builds’ during this error fixing phase and you tell us
        all the incidents that you find at the <a

          list</a>.</span><span id="more-8772"></span></p>
    <p><span style="font-family:Ubuntu;">This first ‘build’ is available
        with installable distributions for Windows and Linux, and from
        the first RC (Release Candidate) there will be portable
        versions, including a distribution for Mac.</span></p>
    <p><span style="font-family:Ubuntu;"><strong>gvSIG Desktop 2.5 has a
          lot of novelties</strong>. Not all of them are included at
        this build (for that it’s not a RC yet). Among the novelties of
        this new version there are some of them that are remarkable, for
        example the <strong>report designer</strong>, the option to
        work with virtual fields, field importer, quick map
        exporter/generator, ring map,…<br>
      </span></p>
    <p><span style="font-family:Ubuntu;">Besides it will integrate all
        the novelties that were published after 2.4 version. (<a
