Good Morning,<br><br>MapServer 4.8.0 has just been released. The source package is available<br>in the download area of the website and you can expect compiled binaries<br>to become available shortly at the usual locations:
<br><a href="http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/current/">http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/current/</a><br><br>Since the creation of the MapServer Technical Steering Committee in<br>August, new features are now tracked via RFC documents. You can browse
<br>the complete list of RFCs at <a href="http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc">http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc</a><br><br>The relevant RFCs for this 4.8 release are:<br><br> * MS RFC 2: Creating line features and/or shapes using WKT
<br> * MS RFC 3: Layer Plug-in Architecture<br> * MS RFC 4: MapServer Raster Resampling<br> * MS RFC 5: MapServer Horizon Reprojection Improvements<br> * MS RFC 6: Color Range Mapping of Continuous Feature Values<br> * MS RFC 8: Pluggable External Feature Layer Providers
<br><br>Once again, all the details are available in the RFC documents at the<br>URL above.<br><br>Another important enhancement in this release that is not documented in<br>a RFC is the support for fuzzy brushes which allows producing
<br>antialiased thick lines when ANTIALIAS TRUE is set in a STYLE. For more<br>details look for the "Fuzzy brushes and antialiased lines" thread in the<br>mapserver-users list archives.<br><br>This release also includes a large number of small enhancements and bug
<br>fixes that didn't deserve their own RFC. I have included a copy of the<br>list of changes/fixes since 4.6 from the HISTORY.TXT at the end of this<br>message.<br><br>Daniel<br>------------------------------------------------------------

<br><br><br>Version 4.8.0-rc3 (2006-01-25)<br>------------------------------<br><br>- Add gml:lineStringMember in GML2 MultiLineString geometry (bug 1569).<br><br>- Move gBYTE_ORDER inside the pg layerinfo structure to allow for
<br>differently<br> byte ordered connections (bug 1587).<br><br>- Close file handle when saving symbolset.<br><br>- Fix the memory allocation bug in sdeShapeCopy (Bug 1606).<br><br>- Fixed OGR WKT support (Bug 1614).<br>

<br> buffer overflow in imagemap code when vsnprintf() not available (bug<br>1613)<br><br><br>Version 4.8.0-rc2 (2006-01-09)<br>------------------------------<br><br>- Commit fix for GD on win32 when different heaps are in use. (Bug 1513)
<br><br>- Correct bound reprojection issue with ogc filer (Bug 1600)<br><br>- Correct mapscript windows build problem when flag USE_WMS_SVR was<br> not set (Bug 1529)<br><br>- Fix up allocation of the SDE ROW_ID columns and how the functions that

<br><br>- Fixed segfault when copying/removing styles via MapScript. (Bug 1565)<br><br>- Fixed segfault when doing attribute queries on layers with a FILTER<br>already<br> set but with no FILTERITEM.<br><br><br>Version
4.8.0-beta3 (2005-12-16)<br>--------------------------------<br><br>- Initialize properly variable in php mapscript (Bug 1584)<br><br>- New support for pseudo anti-aliased fat lines using brushes with variable<br> transparency.
<br><br>- Arbitrary rotation support for vector symbols courtesy of Map Media.<br><br>- Support for user-defined mime-types for CGI-based browse and legend<br> templates (bug 1518).<br><br>- mapraster.c: Allow mapresample.c

<br><br>- PostGIS layer test cases and fix for broken views and sub-selects (bug<br>1443).<br><br>- SDE: Removed (commented out) support for SDE rasters at this time. As<br>far<br> as I know, I'm the only one to ever get it to work, it hasn't kept up
<br>with<br> the connection pooling stuff we did, and its utility is quite limited in<br> comparison to regular gdal-based raster support (projections,<br> resampling, etc) (HB - bug 1560).<br><br>- SDE: Put msSDELayerGetRowIDColumn at the top of
mapsde.c so things<br> would compile correctly. This function is not included (or necessary)<br> in the rest of the MS RFC 3 layer virtualization at this time.<br><br>- WFS : TYPENAME is manadatory for GetFeature request (Bug 1554).
<br><br>- SLD : error parsing font parameters with the keyword "normal" (Bug 1552)<br><br>- mapgraticule.c: Use MIN/MAXINTERVAL value when we define grid position<br>and<br> interval (bug 1530)<br><br>- mapdrawgdal.c
: Fix bug with nodata values not in the color table when<br> rendering some raster layers (bug 1541).<br><br>- mapogcsld.c : If a RULE name is not given, set the class name to<br>"Unknown"<br> (Bug 1451)<br>
<br>Version 4.8.0-beta2 (2005-11-23)<br>--------------------------------<br><br>- Use dynamic allocation for ellipse symbol's STYLE array, avoiding the<br> static limitation on the STYLE argument values. (bug 1539)<br><br>
- Fix bug in mapproject.c when splitting over the horizon lines.<br><br>- Fix Tcl mapscript's getBytes method (bug 1533).<br><br>- Use mapscript.i in-place when building Ruby mapscript, copying not<br>necessary<br> (bug 1528).
<br><br>- Expose maximum lengths of layer, class, and style arrays in mapscript (bug<br> 1522).<br><br>- correct msGetVersion to indicate if mapserver was build with MYGIS<br>support.<br><br>- Fixed hang in msProjectRect() for very small rectangles due to round off
<br> problems (bug 1526).<br><br><br>Version 4.8.0-beta1 (2005-11-04)<br>--------------------------------<br><br>- Bug 1509: Fixed bounding box calculation in mapresample.c. The bottom<br>right<br> corner was being missed in the calculation.
<br><br>- MS RFC 2: added OGR based shape<->WKT implementation.<br><br>- mapgdal.c: fixed some mutex lock release issues on error conditions.<br><br>- MS RFC 8: External plugin layer providers (bug 1477)<br><br>- SLD : syntax error when auto generating external symbols (Bug 1508).
<br><br>- MS RFC 3: Layer vtable architecture (bug 1477)<br><br>- wms time : correct a problem when hadling wms times with tile index<br>rasters<br> (bug 1506).<br><br>- WMS TIME : Add suuport for multiple interval extents (Bug 1498)
<br><br>- Removed deprecated --with-php-regex-dir switch (bug 1468)<br><br>- support wms_attribution element for LAYER's (Bug 1502)<br><br>- Correct php/mapscript bug : initialization of scale happens when<br> preparequery is called (Bug 1334).
<br><br>- msProjectShape() will now project the lines it can, but completely<br> delete lines that cannot be projected properly and "NULL" the shape if<br> there are no lines left. (Bug 411)<br><br>- Expose msLayerWhichShapes and msLayerNextShape in MapScript. (bug 1481)
<br><br>- Added support to MapScript to change images in a previously defined<br> symbol. (bug 1471)<br><br>- mapogcfiler.c : bug 1490. Crash when size of sld filters was huge.<br><br>- Fixed --enable-point-z-m fix in <a href="http://configure.in">
configure.in</a> (== -> =) (bug 1485).<br><br>- Extra scalebar layer creation is prevented with a typo fix in mapscale.c.<br> Good catch, Tamas (bug 1480).<br><br>- mapwmslayer.c : use transparency set at the layer level on wms client
<br> layers (Bug 1458)<br><br>- mapresample.c: added BILINEAR/AVERAGE resampling options.<br><br>- mapfile.c: avoid tail recursion in freeFeatureList().<br><br>- maplegend.c: fixed leak of imageObj when embedding legends.

<br> GDALGetGeoTransform() fails but alters the geotransform array.<br><br>- Typemaps for C# to enable imageObj.getBytes() method (bug 1389).<br><br>- Enable -DUSE_ZLIB via configure for compressed SVG output (bug 1307).
<br><br>- maputil.c/msAddLine(): rewrite msAddLine() to call<br> msAddLineDirectly, and use realloc() in msAddLineDirectly() to optimize<br> growth of shapeObjs. (bug 1432)<br><br>- msTmpFile: ensure counter is incremented to avoid duplicate
<br> temporary filenames. (bug 1312)<br><br>- SLD external graphic symbol format tests now for mime type<br> like image/gif instead of just GIF. (bug 1430)<br><br>- Added support for OGR layers to use SQL type filers (bug 1292)
<br><br>- mapio/cgiutil - fixed POST support in fastcgi mode. (bug 1259)<br><br>- mapresample.c - ensure that multi-band raw results can be<br> resampled. (bug 1372)<br><br>- Add support in OGC FE for matchCase attribute on
<br> PropertyIsEqual and PropertyIsLike (bug 1416)<br><br>- Fixed sortshp.c to free shapes after processing to avoid major<br> memory leak. (bug 1418)<br><br>- fixed msHTTPInit() not ever being called which prevented msHTTPCleanup()
<br> from properly cleaning up cUrl with curl_global_cleanup(). (bug 1417)<br><br>- mapsde.c: add thread locking in msSDELCacheAdd<br><br>- fixed mappool.c so that any thread can release a connection,<br> not just it's allocator. (bug 1402)
<br><br>- mapthread.c/h: Added TLOCK_SDE and TLOCK_ORACLE - not used yet.<br><br>- Fixed copying of layer and join items. (bug 1403)<br><br>- Fixed copying of processing directives within copy of a layer. (bug 1399)<br><br>
