[OpenLayers-Dev] Announcing: OpenLayers 2.7 rc2!

[Erik Uzureau]

The OpenLayers Development Team is ooh yeah proud to announce the
second release candidate of OpenLayers 2.7. This change fixes several
issues with the RC1 release:

 * Fixed @requires for TMS Layer (#1733)
 * Fixed the Permalink's creatParams() function to actually use its
'zoom' and 'layers' parameters (#1489)
 * Added versioned GML Parser (#1639)
 * In Layer.Vector,
   * Made sure that backgroundGraphic icon is deleted on feature
destroy, even if no indexer is being used. (#1718)
   * Fixed bug where feature redrawn offscreen stays invisible by
handling of unrenderedFeatures from moveTo to drawFeature. (#1723)
   * Fixed VML rendering's drawing of geometries when coordinate
numbers are very high (#1732)
 * Fixed "extra '?' bug in the LoadURL method (#1616)
 * Added readers and writers properties to xml formats. (#1722)

....a full list is available at
http://trac.openlayers.org/query?status=closed&version=2.7%20RC1 .

We invite you to help us test this latest 2.7 release candidate! To
test 2.7 rc2 in your applications, include the following tag in your
OpenLayers-powered page:

  <script src="http://openlayers.org/api/2.7-rc2/OpenLayers.js"></script>

As always, the source is available at http://openlayers.org/download/.
Bug reports can be filed in Trac, under the 2.7 RC2 version. Any
regressions should be filed under the 2.7 milestone.

Additionally, if you are interested in confirming that this release
works well in your browser, especially if it is a less commonly used
browser, you can run the OpenLayers test suite, and automatically
report your results, by:

    * Closing and reopening your browser
    * Opening http://openlayers.org/dev/tests/auto-tests.html
    * Clicking the 'run all' button at the bottom of the page.

This will run tests, and deliver the results to our OpenLayers test
server for developers to review.

We look forward to your feedback!

Regards,

The OpenLayers Team
