imageThis week the stable version of gvSIG 1.9 was announced, of which we had the RC1 in August and the Alpha in December of 2008.

Gvsig 1.9 stable For now it is a little tricky to download it, because the web is half fall three of every two days, aspect that seems to be fault of another side.

If not, this is another alternative With JRE y Without JRE And from the FTP

In good time, we will try it this week.

  1. It seems that OSOR is having problems with the continuous requests for gvSIG downloads and they are in the process of fixing it.
    Another link where you can download gvSIG 1.9:

  2. I hope it is because many are downloading it, because the complaint is on the distribution lists.

  3. I'm finding it unlikely to download. One: almost all the downloads are delayed until eternity (hours) and I give up in the effort. Two: this weekend I had it, I downloaded it, the problem is that the file turns out to be corrupt and I can not install anything. I will keep trying.
