OSGeo-Live 9.0 Released
14 September 2014
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 architecture support
- We are now providing both 32 and 64 bit architecture support. The Virtual Machine version has moved to 64 bit architecture.
- 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
- 32 geospatial programs have been updated to newer versions.
