We are happy to announce the release of GeoNode 1.1, an open source
platform that facilitates the creation, sharing, and collaborative use
of geospatial data and maps.

This release is an important milestone for us. It represents additional
commitment by the developers to the stability of the project. It is also
the culmination of over a year of hard work and collaboration on the
part of developers, designers, domain experts, and users. Thank you to
everyone who has been involved in this effort. Major contributions
from OpenGeo, the World Bank, GFDRR, AIFDR, and others in the community
made this release possible.

Notes for Upgraders

Some migration steps are required for this update. Users of the GeoNode
packages for Ubuntu will have these applied automatically. However, if
you are manually managing your installation, you will need to use the
following SQL commands:

ALTER TABLE maps_maplayer
ALTER COLUMN layer_params TYPE text,
ALTER COLUMN source_params TYPE text;

Spread the word about GeoNode 1.1 and please give us your feedback as
you use it. Your comments will steer the project’s future.
