GeoMOOSE (www.geomoose.org) is an open source web application
framework for displaying geographic data. ?What makes GeoMOOSE unique
is it provides an out-of-the-box solution that makes it easy for
non-developers to create web-mapping applications with typical tools
such as navigate, search, measure and print. Non-developers only need
to be comfortable with configuration files. ?GeoMOOSE has a number of
strengths including modularity, configurability, and delivers a number
of core functionalities in its packages. ?The project has targeted
local government business cases to distribute land records
information, but many other users have used it for much more. ?Since
GeoMOOSE is open source project it built on other popular open source
projects such as OpenLayers (www.openlayers.org) and MapServer
(www.mapserver.org). ?To get started with GeoMOOSE, simply go to the
download page and install the software demo.

The OpenLayers Development Team is proud to announce the final release

OpenLayers 2.12 offers great new features and improvements in various areas:

- A new CSS-customizable zoom control.
- Sensible projection defaults to ease the creation and configuration of
maps.
- Tile caching for offline use.
- CSS-based tile animation.
- UTFGrid support.
- Improved image request management (tile queue).
- Fractional zooming for tiled layers (a.k.a. client zoom).

OpenLayers 2.12 deprecates a number of properties, methods and
constructors, and the deprecated objects have been moved to a separate
deprecated.js file.
