Fwd: [Freegis-list] New version of gvSIG project now available: gvSIG 1.1 (stable)

It looks like gvSIG has got some handy annotation support in their
latest release. I haven't tried them myself, but it looks like I need
to get going on the free form label support for OpenJUMP. :]

The new release, gvSIG 1.1, has been published. As usual, it is
available to download in the Downloads section of the web page
(http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=1731&L=2).

  - geoDB:
              - Now integrated in the installation.
  - Field Calculator:
              - It automatically fills table fields by calculating from
values in the same table or geometry properties like area, length, etc.
  - Annotation Layer:
              - It can be generated from feature layers with any kind
og geometry, not just points.
              - A new independent non-virtual layer is created and
persisted as shp.
              - The original layer is not removed from the View.
              - The table associated to the new shp file contains
fields for Text, Font, Color, Height and Rotation.
              - There is a new menu option "Properties of annotation
layer", where it is possible to choose units (meters or pixels), to draw
text only, etc.
              - In the "Add Layer" dialog, a new tab allows loading of
Annotation layers.
              - The process can eliminate duplicated labels.
              - The annotation layer can be generated from selected
features.
              - The process can eliminate overlapping labels.
  - PostGIS:
              - When exporting to PostGIS, it is possible to specify
the database Schema name to save to.
  - Export to raster:
              - A raster can be exported, either a complete layer or a
selected area, to a TIFF file.
