New Release 1.2.0

RoadMap has another new release. It's been well over a year since 1.1.0 was released. Lots of work has been done since then, both in terms of features, and platform support.

Major new developments in 1.2.0 include;

Two Branches

Not much progress has been made in merging code from the forked "roadmap_editor" branch, but some work has been ongoing. (Managed by Ehud Shabtai "roadmap_editor" has added the ability to create and edit maps, and to upload the results to a central postgres database. Since the maps as created can contain the meta-data needed for successful auto-navigation, that feature has been added to the roadmap_editor branch as well. This codebase is being used very successfully in the FreeMap Israel project.
