cd collective/geo/openlayers/skins/
#Change URL accordingly
wget http://openlayers.org/download/OpenLayers-2.12.tar.gz
tar xf OpenLayers*.tar.gz
mv OpenLayers-2.12 OpenLayers
#Maintain 3rd party files
mv geo_openlayers/plone3_fix_form_tabbing.js geo_openlayers/proj4js-compressed.js .
git rm geo_openlayers/* -r
mkdir geo_openlayers
#Only select the files we need
mv OpenLayers/{*.js,*.txt,*.md,img,theme} geo_openlayers/
mv *.js geo_openlayers/
git add geo_openlayers/

- Updated OpenLayers.js to 2.8 (+styles and resources)
- Register all browser pages and resources for IOpenLayers browser layer
- Removed geo-point.js in favour of editing features provided by OpenLayers
- Updated coordinate reference order to be consistent with WGS 1984 reference system. This involves standardising the coordinate order to be [longitude, latitude] rather than [latitude, longitude]. [rockdj]
- Gave the Map element a relative position via CSS to allow Plone drop-down menus to appear over the top (z-index doesn't apply unless position is specified). [rockdj]
- Added ZCML registration for 'img' and 'theme' skin subdirectories. Without registration, these folders are unable to be seen in Plone and the OpenLayers controls don't appear. [rockdj]
- Added unit tests to ensure skin subdirectory registration works. [rockdj]
