New UDIG3D alpha release!!

We are delighted to announce the release of uDIG3D alpha version 0.1 with
support for 3D spherical (WGS84) maps and 3D projected maps. A new 3D Map is
integrated within udig to be managed as a simple map but with the advantage of
3D representation.

It makes use of OSGVirtualPlanets(osgVP) version 2.2.0. osgVP is a library
developed in the Instituto de Automática e Informática Industrial(AI2) of the
Universidad Politécnica de Valencia(UPV).

If you want to test this release you can download a complete uDIG with the
necessary plugins and native libraries from here:
