DRAFT

Version 9.0 of the OSGeo-Live GIS software collection has been released, featuring over 50 open source, standards compliant geospatial applications.

Release Highlights

64 bit image support
We are now providing both 32 and 64 bit image support
Moved to Git
We have moved from subversion to git for our version system.
Debian packaging
We have steadily been moving more of our projects to .deb packaging, which makes it easier to install programs on debian based systems such as OSGeo-Live, and allows application of post-release fixes if required.
Applications
TBD geospatial programs have been updated to newer versions.
