ANNOUNCE: osm-gps-map 1.0.0

[John Stowers <john stowers gmail com>]

Hi Everyone,

I am pleased to announce version 1.0.0 of osm-gps-map, a library

for displaying raster map data from a variety of different sources.

This release adds Gtk+-3.0 support and is the first release in over
a year.

It can be parallel installed with the old 0.7.3 (Gtk+-2 based) release. 

Note: The pkg-config, library name, and include path have all been

bumped to -1.0. Projects depending on osm-gps-map should update

accordingly.
