[MapProxy] New MapProxy 1.4.0 release

[Oliver Tonnhofer]

Hi,

we are pleased to announce the release of MapProxy 1.4.0. It
contains major and minor improvements.

The latest release is available at: <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/MapProxy>

To upgrade within you virtualenv:

    $ pip install --upgrade --no-deps MapProxy

Updated documentation is available at: <http://mapproxy.org/docs/1.4.0/>

== New features ==

Some noteworthy improvements since 1.3.0 are:


=== Clipping requests to polygons ===

The security API now supports limiting requests to polygon geometries
with the limited_to feature.

See auth API: http://mapproxy.org/docs/nightly/auth.html#limited-to

=== Demo service ===

The demo service now allows you to query WMS layers in all supported SRS.
It now also supports WMTS if you have enabled this service.


=== Other improvements ===

- WMS 1.3.0 now supports extended layer capabilities for metadata etc.
- You can configure fallbacks for errors in tile sources. MapProxy can
 create an empty tile if the tile source returns a 404 not found for
 a tile, for example.

Note:
There was a bug in the configuration loader that permitted to have an
error in the layers configuration. Please make sure your configuration is
valid after upgrading.
