GeoExt 2.0.0 released

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.
