Some significant overhauls have been made since the last beta release, which will make this upgrade a little more involved than usual. For details on this and documentation of new features, see the Beta Documentation. If that looks good, go for the download. Please report any issues you have soon – it’s time to get the current beta feature set into a stable release.
This release was supported by www.hidden-teesside.co.uk, publicenergy.co.uk, Vernal Creative, and A blog of my travels by Christopher Weddell. Thanks also to Joost Rooijmans and other users who have been helping out behind the scenes.

Dylan, Great work – many thanks for all your efforts. 1.1 Beta 3 is working well for me.
I’ve installed Geo-Mashup v1.1beta3 on WP 2.6, and it works fine. The iFrame feature is great.
My question: Once I add articles and a lot of markers on the Global Map, will there be be problems with the performance of the Global Map?
I have found umapper for WordPress at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/umapper/ – would it be possible to run the Global Geo-Mashup Map inside Flash with umapper ??
I don’t anticipate problems related to the number of markers beyond a slight increase in initial load time. I haven’t tried umapper – you might get more response from folks in the Google discussion group.
I’ve installed Geo-Mashup v1.1beta3 on WP 2.6, and it works very good.

I’ve used Geo Mashup for over a year now and love it. Thanks for the update!
