[Repast-developer] Re: [Repast-interest] RePast 2.0 released

[Rick R. <rl...@fi...>]

hi nick,
this is great, thanks.

a couple of notes:

- in the download, readme.html says its from 1.4 

- at sourceforge the how_to and api seem to be for 1.4.1
  but after a quick scan it looks like the download docs/ has 2.0,
  eg the how_to mentions vector GIS, so i guess you just
  have to move it in place on sourceforge

thanks,

 - r
