Release Highlights

This release has been a major reboot, with a refocus on leading applications and emphasis on quality over quantity. Less mature parts of the projects have been dropped with a targeted focus placed on upgrading and improving documentation.

Dropped

• Windows-only applications/installers
• Overviews of OGC Standards
• Some applications that did not meet our review criteria
• We now only support a 64 bit distribution (32 bit is built but not officially supported)

Added

• Support for isohybrid ISO images with UEFI
