5. September 2019
Version 13.0 of the OSGeoLive GIS software collection has been released
at the International Conference for Free and Open Source Software for
Geospatial (FOSS4G) in Bucharest, Romania. It was handed out to
delegates and used in many Workshops.
Release Highlights
Highlights for this release include:
-------------------------------------------
* New applications MapCache, GeoExt, t-rex, actinia.
* Additional Python modules like Fiona, rasterio, cartopy, pandas,
geopandas, mappyfile.
* Improved documentation and four new translations, now supporting:
English | Deutsch | Español | Suomi | Français | Italiano | 日本語 |
Hungarian
* Version updates to many of the included packages.
Brian Hamlin noted: "Version 13.0 has improved the Python experience a
lot. With the introduction of Jupyter, OSGeoLive can be used in Python
training, which supports the rising usage and relevance of Python in
geospatial architectures."
Nicolas Roelandt and Vicky Vergara's introduction of Transifex has
significantly improved the translation process. During the FOSS4G
community sprint a new Romanian translation was added. Zoltán Siki, one
of the Hungarian translators, pointed out the need for the translation
and will use it at GIS courses at University in Budapest.
Maria Aria de Reyna, president of OSGeo, says "So much effort goes into
each OSGeoLive release, from documentation to packaging to testing, that
we must take a moment to thank those involved. The whole OSGeoLive team
deserves a huge thanks. Thank you OSGeoLive team and congratulations on
this release."
