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.
