[Users] GeoExt 0.5 Final Release

[Andreas Hocevar]

The GeoExt community is proud to announce the release of GeoExt 0.5,
the first GeoExt version to be released.

GeoExt brings together the geospatial power of OpenLayers with the
user interface savvy of Ext JS to help you build powerful desktop
style GIS applications on the web with JavaScript.

GeoExt 0.5 comes with a fine selection of widgets and data access
components for rich web-based geospatial applications, the full list
of which can be found in the Release Notes, at [1]. Some of the
highlights include:

    * MapPanel for seamless integration of OpenLayers maps in Ext JS
applications
    * LegendPanel to display legends for WMS layers
    * LayerNodes and LayerContainers to create customized layer
switchers in Ext trees
    * Popups as anchored Ext windows
    * Ext data components for convenient handling of OpenLayers data
structures like layers and vector features
