    - we have more map drawing layouts, with automatic night mode
    - qt map drawer and qt gui has been enhanced

  • New release : navit-0.1.1 "Manchester Baby"

    61 years after "Manchester Baby", the first computer program stored in memory, here comes a new release of Navit.
    Well, of course, this release isn't as big as Manchester Baby, but, it's important for us anyway :)

    Major improvements over the last release :
    - Configurable Vehicle Profiles, with samples for car, bike, horse, pedestrian
    - Much more flexible OSDs : Navit can be easily configured to look just the way you want
    - Support for gps receivers without static navigation enabled
    - Routing in now computed in background

    This release also brings its usual load of bugfixes and various improvements. And Navit is now translated in 38 languages!

    Please have a look at our wiki (http://wiki.navit-project.org), report bugs, post patches or share your features requests on our tracker (http://trac.navit-project.org) and join us on irc : #navit on freenode.

    Happy routing!
