The OpenLayers Development Team is proud to announce the third release candidate of OpenLayers 2.5. Fixes in this version include:

• Drag handler doesn't reset properties on left or improperly modified mousedown
• Text nodes limited to 4096 characters in length.
• KML/GML CDATA Attribute parsing
• Small KML Example cleanups.

We invite you to help us test the 2.5 release candidate! To test 2.5 in your applications, include the following tag in your OpenLayers-powered page:

  <script src="http://openlayers.org/api/2.5-rc3/OpenLayers.js"></script>

As always, the source is available at http://openlayers.org/download/. Bug reports can be filed in Trac, under the 2.5 version and milestone.

We look forward to your feedback!

Regards,

The OpenLayers Team
