[mapserver-users] Different positions of feature points in MapServer 6.4 and 7.0.1

[thomas bonfort]

Thomas,
Unless you provide a zero-effort patch, bribe a maintainer to do it for
you, or persuade a maintainer that the bug is critical, I would say that
there is very little chance the text handling behavior you are seeing with
7.0 will be backported to the 6.4 branch.

Regards,
Thomas
