Artem Pavlenko writes "I'm pleased to announce that there is a new release of mapnik (0.2.5a), together with a new website. Mapnik is a Free Toolkit for developing mapping applications. Above all mapnik is about making beautiful maps. A key goal is to provide high-quality anti-aliasing rendering of geo data - think Google Maps at their best. It is easily extensible and suitable for both desktop and web development."
