    78 * !GeoDjango is featured in the [http://www.geoconnexion.com/uploads/opensource_14_intv7i9.pdf October 'Open Sources' Column] by contributer Dane Springmeyer in [http://www.geoconnexion.com/geo.php GeoConnexion International Magazine]
    89 * !GeoDjango was merged to trunk on 5th August 2008!

    2425The wiki documentation is woefully behind, please use the [http://geodjango.org/docs/ 1.0 documentation].

    4748 * r5657: "Lazy-Geometry" support was added (courtesy of Robert Coup's excellent patch in #4322) -- deprecating most of the  [wiki:GeoDjangoDatabaseAPI#ExtraInstanceMethods extra instance methods].
    4849 * r5529: Added utilities for importing vector data (e.g., SHP files) directly into !GeoDjango models. 
    49      * The [source:django/branches/gis/django/contrib/gis/utils/LayerMapping.py LayerMapping] class will import vector data from GDAL-supported data sources.  This is still 'beta', and requires installation of the [wiki:GeoDjango#GDAL GDAL library].
     50     * The !LayerMapping class will import vector data from GDAL-supported data sources.  This is still 'beta', and requires installation of the [wiki:GeoDjango#GDAL GDAL library].

    52  * r5397: Added a `ctypes` interface for [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_arch.html GDAL/OGR] in [source:django/branches/gis/django/contrib/gis/gdal django.contrib.gis.gdal]. 
     53 * r5397: Added a `ctypes` interface for [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_arch.html GDAL/OGR] in django.contrib.gis.gdal. 
    5354   * `OGRGeometry`: Wraps [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/classOGRGeometry.html OGR geometries], may be accessed with an extra instance method (e.g., `z.get_poly_ogr()`).
    5455   * `SpatialReference`: Wraps [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/classOGRSpatialReference.html OGR Spatial Reference] objects, may be used to transform OGR geometries.
    5556   * `DataSource`: Wraps [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/classOGRDataSource.html OGR Data Source] objects, may be used to explore GDAL-supported data sources
    56  * r5008: Added a `ctypes` interface for [http://geos.refractions.net/ GEOS] in [source:django/branches/gis/django/contrib/gis/gdal django.contrib.gis.geos].
     57 * r5008: Added a `ctypes` interface for [http://geos.refractions.net/ GEOS] in django.contrib.gis.geos.
    5758   * `GEOSGeometry`: Wraps [http://geos.refractions.net/ro/doxygen_docs/html/classgeos_1_1geom_1_1Geometry.html GEOS geometries]; all accessed geometry fields are returned as `GEOSGeometry` instances.
    5859 * r4851: Added PostGIS indexing capability.
    … …  
    6263=== Design Issues ===
    6364 * Client JS/Flash framework.  The `maps` module will be added soon, support for the following APIs will be implemented, or is being considered
    64    * [browser:django/branches/gis/django/contrib/gis/maps/google django.contrib.gis.maps.google]: Contains the `GoogleMap` object, which generates basic Google Maps API !JavaScript from customizable templates.  Automatic zoom-level determination is included.
     65   * django.contrib.gis.maps.google: Contains the `GoogleMap` object, which generates basic Google Maps API !JavaScript from customizable templates.  Automatic zoom-level determination is included.
    6566   * `django.contrib.gis.maps.openlayers`: Similar plans are in place for a [http://www.openlayers.org/ OpenLayers] module, which is ''the'' open source web mapping framework.  Well-tested, BSD-licensed, and includes multitudes of features; for example, !OpenLayers supports WMS/WFS/tiles as well as Google, MS Virtual Earth, and Yahoo layers.  ''See also'' ticket #5472.
    6667   * [http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/ Yahoo!] , [http://platform.mapquest.com/specs-free.html MapQuest], and [http://www.mapstraction.com/ Mapstraction] are all possibilities for API hooks.
