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