[mapserver-users] mapserv 5.6 -> 6.0 label symbol change

[Richard Greenwood]

I have an annotation layer with a class definition that puts a highway
shield behind the highway number. In mapserver 5.6 if the number value
is an empty string no shield symbol is drawn, but in 6.0 the shield is
drawn. The data is coming from a shapefile. Two images are attached
that illustrate the issue. The class definition is below. In my case
the 5.6 behavior is preferable. So is this change deliberate, or a
bug, or is my class definition incorrect for 6.0?

  CLASS
    STYLE
      SYMBOL 'wyhwy'
      SIZE 16
    END
    LABEL
      TYPE truetype
      FONT arial
      SIZE 8
      COLOR 0 0 0
    END
  END

Thanks,
Rich
