<H1>GeoTools 0.8.0 Release Candidate 1</H1>
! <H2>What is GeoTools?</H2>
! <P>GeoTools is a Java library for manipulating and displaying geographic maps. Predominantly, it is used for displaying
! interactive maps within web browsers without the need for any server-side support. However, the library can also
! be used to develop client-server based solutions, applications and command line utilities. GeoTools is supported
! by a wide and diverse developer and user community and it is continuing to grow in new directions.</P>
! <P></P>
! <H2>License</H2>
! <P>The GeoTools library is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). In essence, this declares
! that GeoTools is an open source library which can freely be used and modified in conjunction with any other code
! (open or proprietary), provided the source for all modifications is made freely available. However, for the full
! legal position and implications of the license, please refer to the full text which can be found in the <A HREF="license.txt">License</A>
! file.</P>

! <H2>What is a release candidate?</H2>
! <P>Prior to the final release of a new version, release candidates are made which are believed to be complete by
! the developers, but which require wider testing to be certain. This is the first release candidate of GeoTools
! 0.8.0 and, if all goes well, a final release will follow shortly. Thank you for downloading this candidate. In
! order to ensure that the final release goes smoothly, we actively encourage as much feedback as possible about
! this release candidate. In particular, could you try all of the examples found in the <A HREF="demonstrations/readme.html">demonstrations</A>
! folder. Please report any problems, crashes, bugs, etc. using the <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=4091&atid=104091">'Submit
! a bug'</A> link which can be found on the <A HREF="http://geotools.org">geotools.org </A>homepage.</P>
