[Qgis-user] The Event Visualization Tool ( eVis ) v1.0 released

[Peter Ersts]

To the QGIS community.

Following the official release of QGIS v1.0.0, we are pleased to 
announce the version 1.0 release of the Event Visualization Tool ( eVis 
). eVis is a simple, user friendly, yet highly configurable QGIS plugin 
that will display digital images and open other documents associated  by 
attributes to point, line and polygon data. eVis can be used with all 
vector data readable by QGIS and includes a database module which can be 
used to extract data from spatial and non-spatial databases.

You can download eVis from the following url,
http://biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/open_source/evis/download.php?mid=63

Changes since the previous release of beta version 0.7.0
 * Numerous performance enhancements
 * Addition of PostgreSQL support
 * Support for dynamic loading of translation files

eVis has been download by people from over 80 countries. Do you use eVis 
on a regular basis? We want to hear from you! Please send us a short 
note from the eVis comments page ( 
http://biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/open_source/evis/comments.php ) 
and tell us how you are using eVis and what you like and don't like 
about the plugin.

Do you use QGIS with native language support? Want to contribute to the 
open source community but are not a programmer? Translating eVis is 
straight forward, requires no programming knowledge and only takes about 
two hours. If you are interested in knowing more please check out the 
eVis Trac site 
(https://trac.biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/projects/evis/) for more 
information.

Thanks
