- mapserver 4.10.1
- thuban 1.2.0
- New packages entered the archive:
- OGDI
- Geotiff (still not in main, due to license issues for some data)
Packages now under the DebianGis maintainance umbrella:
- HDF4/HDF5

DebianGis wiki moved to the official Debian wiki.
- ECW library has gone. Ermapper changed previous license in an EULA, so packaging is no more possible.
