Hi everybody,

I'd like to announce that FoxtrotGPS 1.1.1 has been released,
and can now be downloaded from <http://www.foxtrotgps.org/>.

>From the NEWS file:

    * More detail in OpenStreetMap: FoxtrotGPS now supports loading
      tiles for zoom levels up to 18.

    * FoxtrotGPS is once again able to find routes on demand using
      yournavigation.org and openrouteservice.org--thanks to
      Benjamin Deering for removing the dependencies on the
      tangogps.org route-finding proxy.

    * FoxtrotGPS now supports loading distinct icons for different POIs--
      and, if you have the `mkvisualid' command from libvisualid installed,
      FoxtrotGPS can even generate distinctive icons automatically.

      For more on libvisualid, see its website:

          http://www.hackerposse.com/~rozzin/VisualIDs

    * Double-quotes and single-quotes, and apostrophes in POI-names
      and -descriptions are no longer replaced with backticks.

    * The GPX tracks produced by FoxtrotGPS now log latitude
      and longitude with 6 digits after the decimal point.


So, mostly just a few bug-fixes and subtle improvements--
though Ben's fix for route-finding is quite a big improvement :)

Thanks to everyone--especially those who have contributed patches,
bug-reports, and words of wisdom.

Enjoy!
