[Qgis-user] Announcing the release of QGIS 1.7 'Wrocław'

[Tim Sutton]

We are very pleased to announce the release of QGIS 1.7.0, the next in
our development release series. This release contains new features and
extends the programmatic interface over QGIS 1.0.x and QGIS 1.6.0. As
with any software, there may be bugs and issues that we were not able
to fix in time for the release. We therefore recommend that you test
this version before rolling it out en-masse to your users. You can
find a list of hightlighted changes and new features listed on the
detailed release announcement available here:

Binary and source code packages are available at:

http://download.qgis.org

If there is not yet a package for your platform on the above page,
please check back regularly as packagers are still pushing out their
work and they will update the download page to reflect the new
packages. Along with the release of QGIS 1.7.0, the QGIS Community
Team is hard at work on an updated QGIS Users' Guide version 1.7.0.
The guide will be available in the near future - we will post
announcements when it is available.

QGIS is a completely volunteer driven project, and is the work of a
dedicated team of developers, documenters and supporters. We extend
our thanks and gratitude for the many, many hours people have
contributed to make this release happen. We would also like to thank
our sponsors and donors for helping to promote our work through their
financial contributions. A current list of sponsors and donors can be
seen here:

Happy QGIS'ing!
