[OSGeo Africa] Fwd: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo-Live 9.0 Released

[Gavin Fleming]

OSGeo Live 8.5 was distributed to all delegates at the Geomatics Indaba
in August. Version 9.0 is now out:

15 September 2014

Version 9.0 of the OSGeo-Live GIS software collection
<http://live.osgeo.org> has been released, featuring over 50 open
source, standards compliant geospatial applications.


    Release Highlights

64 bit architecture support
    We are now providing both 32 and 64 bit architecture support. The
    Virtual Machine version has moved to 64 bit architecture. 

Moved to Git
    We have moved from subversion to git
    <https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive> for our version system. 

Debian packaging
    We have steadily been moving more of our projects to .deb packaging
    <https://launchpad.net/%7Eosgeolive>, which makes it easier to
    install programs on debian based systems such as OSGeo-Live, and
    allows application of post-release fixes
    <https://launchpad.net/%7Eosgeolive/+archive/ubuntu/release-9.0/+packages>
    if required. 

Applications
    32 geospatial programs have been updated to newer versions.
