[Psc] Announcement: GeoExt 2.0.0 released

[Marc Jansen]

The GeoExt community is proud to announce the release of GeoExt 2.0.0.

Download it at https://github.com/geoext/geoext2/releases/tag/v2.0.0

GeoExt 2.0.0 is the first official GeoExt version that is built atop of 
OpenLayers 2.13.1 and ExtJS 4.2.1. It is being released 2 weeks after 
release candidate 1 was published and no serious bugs were discovered.

GeoExt 2 has been in the making for quite a while, but most of the code 
comes from a code sprint in Bonn, Germany, that happened last year [1].

The newest major version of GeoExt wants to provide mostly the same API 
you know and love from the 1.x-series. It comes with support for the 
autoloading-mechanism of ExtJS, support for the single-file build tool 
of sencha and with exhaustive documentation that is built using the same 
tools that the mother library ExtJS uses (see [2] and [3]).

This release wouldn't have been possible without the sponsors [4] of the 
above mentioned sprint. Also we want to thank the companies behind the 
contributors of GeoExt for supporting GeoExt development in numerous 
ways and for such a long time.

We invite you all to use GeoExt 2!

To do so, download GeoExt 2.0.0 from [5] and use it in your OpenLayers 
2.13.1 and Ext JS 4.2.1 powered webpage by telling the 
autoloading-mechanism of Ext about GeoExt:

Ext.Loader.setConfig({
   enabled: true,
   paths: {
     GeoExt: "path/to/geoext2/src",
     Ext: "path/to/extjs/src"
   }
});

Have a look at the examples and additional information listed at the 
GeoExt 2 website over at github: http://geoext.github.io/geoext2/

We are looking forward to your feedback on this release.
