Some of the more interesting accomplishments from the March 2011 sprint:

Released GMS 8.0 with lots of new features including a free Community Edition, support for MODFLOW 2005 and SEAWAT, faster and better looking graphics, improved contouring, ArcGIS map server layers, and much more.
Updated the GMS web pages at aquaveo.com. The graphics are better, the content and layout is much easier on the eyes, there's a new learning center with videos and tutorials, and a new editions and pricing page, and a new "Why MODFLOW with GMS?" page.
Posted a new video on our YouTube channel showing the MODFLOW stream package and streams in a conceptual model.
Fixed 33 bugs
Found and fixed some memory leaks
Finished the new lighting options that will be included in version 8.1
Made good progress on implementing the new Rasters that will be available in 8.2 and will handle DEM data much better.
Added a bunch of pages to the wiki about the SEAWAT interface.
Made good progress on improving the annotations that are new in 8.0 and will work much better in 8.1
Added more automated testing of the 64 bit version of GMS that will be available with 8.1
