[Mario Carrera]

Hello,

After the publication of the first alpha release on version 1.0, whose 
main new features are edition, geoprocessing, image georreferencing and 
the WFS client, we get back in the usual stabilization of versions 
consisting in publicating of a set of release candidates (RC) going 
towards a stable and definitive version.

So, the first release (gvSIG 1.0 rc1) of this process is now available 
to download as usuual from the downloads section of the project's web 
page (http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=1317&L=0 
<http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=1317&L=0>).

We encourage the users to participating in this process sending all 
those bugs you find or comments you may have to the mailing lists.

The main features added to the 1.0 alpha release were Edition, 
Geoprocessing, Georeferencing, and access to WFS servers. gvSIG 1.0-rc1 
also includes the following new features:
