About

PrimaGIS 0.5.0 represents four months of hard work by the development team and contains a bunch of new features and bug fixes. The release also contains migration code to help existing users to upgrade from 0.4.0.  To learn more about PrimaGIS you should read the new PrimaGIS User Manual (pdf), which is the primary source for documentation.

PrimaGIS 0.5.0 depends on ZCO 0.7 and PCL 0.10.0.

To learn more about the development of PrimaGIS 0.5.0, you can read the PrimaGIS development news:  1,  2,  3.

During the development of 0.5.0 the project facilities were also updated and now everything is running under gispython.org. Thanks to Aleksi Korvenranta for sponsoring the domain registration.

And of course, a big thank you to everyone who was involved in the development process!
