The GeoExt community is proud to announce the first release candidate<br>
of GeoExt 0.5, the first GeoExt version to be released.<br>
<br>
As of RC1, the GeoExt 0.5 release closes 61 outstanding tickets,<br>
including 40 new features or enhancements and 16 bug fixes.<br>
<br>
We invite you to help us test the 0.5 release candidate! To test in<br>
your applications, please download [1], unzip it to the root of your<br>
GeoExt powered application, and include the following script tag in<br>
your html:<br>
<br>
<script src="GeoExt/script/GeoExt.js"></script><br>
<br>
GeoExt 0.5 depends on OpenLayers >= 2.8 and ExtJS >= 2.2.<br>
<br>
The source is available on svn at [2]. Bug reports can be filed in<br>
Trac, under the 0.5 RC1 version and 0.5 milestone, at [3].<br>
<br>
The 0.5 release comes with a number of important features, the full<br>
list of which can be found in the Release Notes, at [4]. Some of the<br>
highlights include:<br>
<br>
* MapPanel to integrate OpenLayers maps in ExtJS applications<br>
* LegendPanel to display legends for WMS layers<br>
* LayerNodes and LayerContainers to create customized layer switchers<br>
* Popups as anchored Ext windows<br>
* Various Ext data components for convenient handling of<br>
OpenLayers layers, vector features and WMS Capabilities documents<br>
<br>
All forthcoming RC announcements will be sent only to the Developers<br>
list: anyone interested in tracking the progress to a final release<br>
should subscribe to that list at [5].<br>
<br>
We look forward to your feedback on this release.<br>
