[Frank Warmerdam]

The OpenLayers Development Team is proud to announce the final release
of OpenLayers 2.12!

OpenLayers 2.12 can be downloaded from <http://openlayers.org/download/>.

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.
