Yes, this has changed:

| The new version uses a unified symbol file format which means you can

| mapscript access. Anyway here's what's needed to switch:
| 
|   1) SHADESET, MARKERSET, LINESET are gone and replaced by SYMBOLSET
|   2) the keywords SHADESET, MARKERSET, LINESET need to be removed from
|      symbol files, and so should the last END keyword
|   3) you can "cat" them all together
| 
| That should do it.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

    Frank
