> Version 13.0 of the ​OSGeoLive GIS software collection has been released
> at the ​International Conference for Free and Open Source Software for
> Geospatial (FOSS4G) in Bucharest, Romania. It was handed out to
> delegates and used in many Workshops.
> Release Highlights
>
> Highlights for this release include:
> -------------------------------------------
> * New applications ​MapCache, ​GeoExt, ​t-rex, ​actinia.
> * Additional Python modules like Fiona, rasterio, cartopy, pandas,
> geopandas, mappyfile.
> * Improved documentation and four new translations, now supporting:
> English | Deutsch | Español | Suomi | Français | Italiano | 日本語 |
> Hungarian
> * Version ​updates to many of the included packages.
>
> Brian Hamlin noted: "Version 13.0 has improved the Python experience a
> lot. With the introduction of Jupyter, OSGeoLive can be used in Python
> training, which supports the rising usage and relevance of Python in
> geospatial architectures."
>
> Nicolas Roelandt and Vicky Vergara's introduction of Transifex has
> significantly improved the translation process. During the FOSS4G
> community sprint a new Romanian translation was added. Zoltán Siki, one
> of the Hungarian translators, pointed out the need for the translation
> and will use it at GIS courses at University in Budapest.
>
> Maria Aria de Reyna, president of OSGeo, says "So much effort goes into
> each OSGeoLive release, from documentation to packaging to testing, that
> we must take a moment to thank those involved. The whole OSGeoLive team
> deserves a huge thanks. Thank you OSGeoLive team and congratulations on
> this release."
