The gvSIG Association announces the publishing of the =
gvSIG 2.0 final version [1]. The main novelty of this version is its new =
architecture. The way gvSIG manage the data sources has been redesigned =
with the objective of improving the reliability as well as the =
modularity, benefiting the users as well as the developers. Besides it =
permits an easier maintenance and evolution of the technology. Therefore =
it has been an investment in the future with the aim of not limiting the =
technological evolution and establish the bases for a quick =
evolution. 
 
However this new gvSIG Desktop version includes a series of new =
features: 
&nbsp; - New installer that supports typical and custom =
installation. 
&nbsp; - Add-ons manager that allows to install new extensions and =
customize gvSIG from the same application. 
&nbsp; - Some changes in the interface of data management tools =
like: 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; =B7 File import/export 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; =B7 Table operations 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; =B7 New layer 
&nbsp; - Layer load improved 
&nbsp; - WMTS (Web Map Tiled Service) support 
&nbsp; - Raster data cache 
&nbsp; - Unified geoprocessing interface 
&nbsp; - Import symbols, making the creation of symbols libraries =
easy. 
&nbsp; - Export symbols, that allows to share complete symbols libraries =
with other users easily. 
&nbsp; - Scripting framework (languages: Jython, Groovy and =
Javascript). 
 
Nevertheless it's the last version of gvSIG, it has to be taken into =
account that it's really a new gvSIG, so you will find that some of the =
gvSIG 1.12 functionalities are not included. These functionalities will =
be included in following and continuous updates according to their =
migration to the new architecture. The main functionalities that are not =
included are the following: 
&nbsp; - Georeferencing 
&nbsp; - Legend by proportional symbols, graduated ones, dot density, =
quantities by categories and by expressions. 
&nbsp; - Extensions: Network analysis and 3D 
 
In the same way, there are several projects based on this new =
architecture that will allow to include new functionalities and =
improvements directly in gvSIG 2.0 in the next months. 
 
Also it has to be taken into account that the level of stability of this =
new version is not as high as we would have wished, considering it a =
final version in order to be used by the community in an official way, =
and mainly to tackle the new developments on it. 
 
For that, we encourage you to test it and send us any errors in order to =
fix them in the following updates. The known errors of this version can =
be consulted in [2].
