  * MapServer compiled with PROJ support
  * Map file with a :ref:`PROJECTION` defined for every :ref:`LAYER`
  
+As of MapServer 6.0, there are two extra parameters available for configuring tile mode. 
 
+ * *tile_map_edge_buffer* renders the tile into a buffered rendering frame, then clips out the final tile. This will reduce edge effects when large symbols or wide lines are drawn. Recommended value: the size of the largest symbol or line width in your map file.
+ * *tile_metatile_level* renders the into into a fixed metatile, then clips out the final tile. This will reduce label repetition, at the expense of much higher rendering cost.  Recommended value: 1 if you are doing labelling of large features in your layer. 0 otherwise.
+
+If you use both *tile_map_edge_buffer* and *tile_metatile_level* at the same time, the buffer will be applied at the meta-tile level.
