<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Today we are releasing MapGuide Open
Source 1.0.0 – Release Candidate 1 and launching the new home of MapGuide Open
Source: <A href="http://mapguide.osgeo.org/">http://mapguide.osgeo.org</A>. To
coincide with the release a new freely downloadable preview version of MapGuide
Studio will be available. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">This release is significantly faster
and more robust than the previous 0.9.1 release and the installation has been
simplified. The AJAX Viewer is much more stable, complete, and now works in
Safari as well as Internet Explorer and FireFox. In addition the Map Agent now
fully accepts Open Geospatial WMS and WFS (non-transactional)
requests.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">1. This release will require you to
recreate your feature sources, layers, maps, and web layouts. This should be the
only time this is required. Future releases will incorporate an upgrade script
that will migrate and upgrade the resources in an existing servers XML database.

have been changed from Aw to Mg. To migrate your code from 0.9.1 to 1.0.0 you
should be able to search and replace Aw* with Mg*.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
