think it'll help in mantaining and translating the manuals. All

> ------------------------------------------------------------------------

>
> Hi everyone:
>
> As you may have seen, since last friday the new version of Kosmo Desktop
> is available for download in the Kosmo - Free GIS Corporative Platform
> project webpage (
http://opengis.es <
http://opengis.es/>). After a
> lapse of one year since the
> last available version (1.2.1), we have finished the new version. We
> hope the innovations, improvements and corrections done to the new
> version is worth the waiting.
>
> For now the downloads corresponding to Windows and Linux with its own
> Java virtual machine and with no installer are availables: they are
> prepared to be decompressed and directly executed (the linux version
> requieres a slight modification) with no need of previously installing
> anything (not even the Java virtual machine), so they can be executed
> also from an USB pendrive. In the course of this week it will be made
> available the whole set of common installers for whom of you who are
> more comfortable with the usual distribution. The source code
> corresponding to this new version will also be available when we finish
> adjusting the public SVN server.
>
> In addition to the application there will be available a wide set of
> videotutorials and manuals for the new version that will ease the
> learning of the use of new tools and the former ones for new users.
>
> The whole set of innovations, improvements and corrections will be
> available in the webpage along this week but next I resume the most
> prominent.
>
> Greetings from the whole development team of SAIG.

> * New extensions added in Kosmo 2.0 RC1:
>
> - Printing in OpenOffice
> To improve the graphic outputs already existent in Kosmo Desktop we have
> incorporated this new extension that allows to generate printing outputs
> of great quality using as base the OpenOffice suite. Among others user
> features, we point this ones:
>
> + Multiple views in one single graphic output.
> + Two kinds of scale: graphic / textual. It can be defined one scale per
> view. The graphic scale admits parameters.
> + Many legends can be defined for the same view, each one showing the
> desired layers. For each legend can be defined a title, a header, the
> distance between differents entries and the legend, the font for each
> entry, the number of columns, ...
> + Advanced batch printing using as base a layer with the frames.
> + Preview tools inside Kosmo to control the graphic output.
>
> And the possibility to edit the output into OpenOffice since it is
> generated an output file for OpenOffice Draw which can be framed before
> and after printing, adding more elements as needed such as logos,
> compass, etc.

> - Sextante
> In this new Kosmo Desktop version have been added the Sextante extension

>
> - Advanced tools
> This new extension adds to Kosmo Desktop a new set of tools of varied
> kind, the most prominent of them are:
>
> + Raster georeferencing tool.
> + Eliminate micropolygons.
> + Intersect.
> + Clean lines.
> + Validation tools for elevation lines layers.
> + Generation of polygons from lines.
> + Generation of polygon grid.
> + Show elements attributes under the mouse pointer.
> + Segments edition tools.
>
> - Grid edition
> Allows to add an UTM grid as background in the active view.
>
> - KML data source
> Allows to export the selected layer to the KML format
>
> - Export reprojected layer
> Allows to export into a new layer the selected data source, if it is
> reprojected.
>
>
> * Data sources
>
> - WFS
>
> - GML (import / export)

>
> * New tools
>
> - Topological rules in edition
> In this new version we have added the possibility to define a set of
> topological rules that may be applied to the layers of the project so it
> avoid editions in the layer that does not verify such rules during the
> digitalization or revision of the elements of the layers.
>
> - Statistics
> In the attributes table of a layer is possible to generate statistics
> for the selected fields, grouping them by fields if desired.
>
> - Afinne transformation
>
> - Precision reducer
>
> - Generalization tools
>
>
>
> * Improvements in edition
>
> - Geometries tracking mode
> For those tools involving multiple mouse clicks it has been added a new
> mode that allows at any point in the graphic to add new segments of
> lines from existent elements of the active view.
>
> - Snap to layers configuration
> It has been added a new configuration tab in the edit options window
> that allows to stablish what layers must be taken into account to decide
> the coordinates to snap to.
>
>
> * Configuration
>
> - Visualization options
> It has been added the possiblitiy to remember the size and position of
> the Kosmo main window at exit, so the possibility of the window to be
