Here’s a quick and overdue announcement to say that I’m making a new version of Portable GIS available today, including QGIS 2. Consider this one a beta release, since I really want to upgrade PostGIS and GDAL when I get time. Additional upgrades in this version: Astun Technology’s Loader has been upgraded to the latest version, and Psycopg2 is now included.

Before you click on the link, please take time to read the main Portable GIS page, and also do me the favour of reporting any problems that you find at the portable GIS google group, or via Twitter. If you can provide me with a screenshot of an error, and let me know the exact version of Windows that you’re using, then I’ll do my best to fix.

You can pick up the beta version here. This is a dropbox link, so if it’s not available, then I’ve exceeded my bandwidth for the moment, so please try again later.

I hope to get a release out fairly soon with PostGIS 2.1 and GDAL 1.10, but this is not my day job so bear with me!
