[Oliver Tonnhofer]

Happy new year everyone,

we want to start the new year with a fresh release and we start with
a first beta version.

The latest release is available at:
http://mapproxy.org/static/rel/MapProxy-1.3.0b1.tar.gz

To update within you virtualenv:

$ pip install http://mapproxy.org/static/rel/MapProxy-1.3.0b1.tar.gz

The current documentation is available at:
http://mapproxy.org/docs/nightly/

Some new features:

RESTful WMTS
------------

The MapProxy WMTS now also supports the RESTful API. This service
also supports custom URL templates for your service.

CouchDB cache backend
---------------------

You can now use a CouchDB as a backend for tile caches.
Each cache gets stored into a separate database and you can
configure the layout of the URLs of each tile. You can also
add additional metadata for each tile.

`mapproxy-util serve-multiapp-develop` tool
-------------------------------------------

The new command is similar to `serve-develop` but it starts a
MultiMapProxy instance.
