[deepamehta-users] DeepaMehta 4.0.6 released

[Jörg Richter]

On Nov 27, 2011 DeepaMehta 4.0.6 has been released.

This release has mostly improvements for plugin developers. It is compatible with 2 new external plugins (see below). There are some GUI improvements though.

* New feature for plugin developers:
    * Map type extension architecture: plugins can provide additional map types, e.g. a geo map or a time map.
      Each map type can have a distinguished data model, rendering facility, and interaction style.

* Improvements/Fixes:
    * Topicmaps remember their translation.
    * Menus opened within dialog boxes are not constrained to the dialog box dimension.
