OpenJUMP 2.0 released

[edgar....@web.de]

just in time,

for the annual icelandic beer day[1] the new and improved OpenJUMP arrives on your virtual door step. We are very proud to present some major improvements in this release reflected in the major version jump from 1.16 to version 2.0.
The long overdue port to the recent and maintained JTS 1.18 took place as well as the switch from sf.net's svn to github git as source repository.
We invite each and every user, developer to take part in the development and improvement of this project. it's not called *Open*JUMP by accident :)

We want to acknowledge the efforts of Eric Grosso, who took the initiative and researched the best way to move over to git, preserving the commit history as well as the upgrade to locationtech's JTS. Thank you Eric!

The installer seems to be broken in windows 10 and later, so we suggest the Portable distribution to windows users for now.
Release files will stay on sf.net for the foreseeable future. Go ahead and get your copy on
https://sourceforge.net/projects/jump-pilot/files/OpenJUMP/2.0

cheers & jump safely y'all ..ede
