Promotion
We’re excited about Erik Hazzard’s new book on OpenLayers. We also wanted to promote Till Adams and Marc Jansen’s German OpenLayers book. Both are now featured on the OpenLayers homepage: http://openlayers.org/ In addition, I’ve added a small donation button at the bottom of the page. Financial contributions to OpenLayers support both the OSGeo foundation and [...]

Simplified License for OpenLayers 2.11
For the upcoming 2.11 release, we’re simplifying the license under which we distribute OpenLayers. We’ve chosen to adopt the more widely used 2-clause BSD License, also known as the FreeBSD License. This new license differs from our old license in a number of ways: The new 2-clause license omits the non-endorsement clause. Our old license [...]

More work on mobile and 2.11
Three of us, here at Camptocamp, sprinted three days on OpenLayers. Our goal was two-fold: close tickets for the upcoming 2.11 release, and improve our mobile story, following up on the work done during the mobile sprint (see the previous posts on this blog). Day #1 We started out by reviewing patches, and closing tickets, [...]

Mobile Sprint: Day Five
We’ve officially wrapped up the OpenLayers Mobile code sprint. This week has brought a very welcome infusion of energy to the project. I think it is safe to say that all involved have felt we have achieved the goals we set out for ourselves at the start of the week. In addition to significantly enhancing [...]

Mobile Sprint: Day Four
Day four already!? Not sure what happened to day three (perhaps we all forgot to sleep). After picking off the easy wins at the start of the week, we’ve spent the past two days wrestling with some of the tougher issues that come up when you target a broad array of devices in an area [...]

Mobile Sprint: Day Two
We’ve wrapped up our second day in Lausanne, making good progress on a number of fronts. Our examples have always been the richest source of learning material for OpenLayers newcomers. The example search page got a well deserved overhaul today – making it more convenient to find relevant code samples. In addition to the nicer [...]

Mobile Sprint: Day One
A solid group of OpenLayers developers and power users have gathered in Lausanne to bring OpenLayers into the mobile age. Today (and yesterday) we spent some time getting organized and laying the groundwork for the week ahead. Each of our examples got a nice, mobile friendly layout thanks to Antoine Abt (resize your browser with [...]

CQL Parsing
When using rule based styling or constructing queries for features, application developers often hand-code their filters. For example, if you wanted to style or select a subset of US State features that started with the letters B through O, you might create a filter that looked like this: var filter = new OpenLayers.Filter.Logical({ type: OpenLayers.Filter.Logical.AND, [...]

Bing Tiles for OpenLayers
As of today, OpenLayers has a new layer type: OpenLayers.Layer.Bing. “Why that” you may ask, “there is OpenLayers.Layer.VirtualEarth already”. So why is this new layer type so special? It is the first time that we access tiles from a commercial service directly. Others (e.g. Google Maps) do not provide direct access to their tiles, but [...]
