[Shapedotnet-development] Beta 2 out soon

[John C. <k5...@ne...>]

I'm planning on releasing Beta 2 tomorrow, here's the list of fixes I've 
made since Beta 1 was released:

1.  Don't move viewport on layer add or remove. (Erwin)
2.  Allow feature labels to be shown without showing the feature itself. 
(Erwin)
3.  .dbf locking problem is fixed. (finally, right?) (Erwin & Ryan)
4.  Added LayerName property to the IMapLayer interface. (Ryan)
5.  MapCanvas property is now public in the MapControl (Erwin)
6.  Added a public property to the MapControl that accesses the 
underlying GIS.Map object of the control. (Erwin)
7.  Handle insertion of a layer properly (Ryan)
8.  Made significant changes to Map.CalculateExtents() as a result of #1 
and #7.
9.  Made significant changes to the MapControl properties as a result of #6.
10.  Made the MapMetrics object public. (Ryan) (Read below)

I'm still not sure about MapMetrics being public, but I'm going to throw 
it out there for beta 2.  After all, I really need to be more trusting 
of you guys, don't I?  I'm just afraid that at some point in the future 
someone is going to fiddle with the properties directly, screw something 
up, and report it as a bug.

If I've missed something please let me know.
