[OpenLayers-Dev] Announcing: OpenLayers 2.7 rc2!

[Erik Uzureau]

Just a small followup to this release announcement... There were a few
tickets/changes that slipped through the cracks that are worthy of
mention.

 * Some minor changes to the measure control example, as well as
adding Meaure.js to the default files list in OpenLayers.js (#1241)
 * Adding Clustering and Paging Strategies (#1606)
 * Adding Protocol.SQL.Gears (#1699)

Thanks again to everyone who pushed hard for this rc2. The release is
looking really solid!

Also thanks in advance to everyone out there who is helping us to test
2.7. Your participation
is a crucial part of the process of successful Open Source Software.
Please help us out by
taking the time to drop in the new rc2 release. Thank you!!!
Erik
