<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Folks, I'd really encourage you to try Maestro 2.0. I've been using it<br>
full time over the last couple months and am extremely happy with the<br>
improvements that Kenneth has worked hard to put into it.<br>
<br>
The theming and expression editor are great new features (I love the<br>
Color Brewer support)but in my mind the most important feature of this<br>
release is all the small improvements that have added up to a massive<br>
increase in usability and productivity.<br>
<br>
Another feature that I love is the resource validator. Run this on a<br>
map definition to make sure that its entire dependency chain is intact<br>
and that you don't have any performance-killing projection differences<br>
or common errors like missing legend labels. This can be a lifesaver<br>
when moving changes from testing into production.<br>
<br>
Despite the massive improvements and stability, it is quite possible<br>
that there is an undiscovered bug that will only show up in YOUR<br>
workflow, especially if you use different data types or maps than the<br>
people who have been testing pre-beta releases. This beta release is<br>
your opportunity to find these problems before Maestro is released and<br>
ensure that they are fixed quickly.<br>
<br>
I'd also like to take the opportunity to remind you that the<br>
development of Maestro is done by Kenneth in his free time for no<br>
compensation. If you see value in Maestro, please consider sending an<br>
appropriate amount to his paypal account.<br>
<br>
Happy Testing!<br>
