[Gvsig_english] differences foe developers between gvsig 1.11 and gvsig 2?

[G. Allegri]

Thanks Cesare for the usefull infos.
I've just finished setting up the development evnironment for Gvsig 1.11, so
you can guess my decision :)
This version will help me to dig into the Gvsig API world, then I'll face
the migration issues (if necessary).

Cheers,
Giovanni
