<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Finally got around to testing RC4 a little and here are my observations. The test platform is a VMWare instance running Windows XP, using the .NET web extensions, and testing with IE and Firefox. Testing was difficult due to instability and crashing issues with Autodesk MapGuide Studio 2009 beta, but I tried to make the best of it.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- Tooltips do not work for any flexible layout with any layer source, including the Sheboygan samples. They work for normal layouts.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- With flexible layouts, when using the selection tool, no attributes for the selected object (which always highlighted properly) were visible in the Selection Panel, although the layer and number of selected objects were properly displayed. This was the case for any layer source, including the Sheboygan samples. Selection attributes work fine in the properties pane in standard layouts still.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Other than that, everything seemed to work okay in my informal testing and Fusion is beyond cool. I have not tried to migrate any custom 1.2 apps over yet, so cannot comment on that aspect at this time.</FONT></P>
