<div>Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] MapServer 4.8.0 released</div></div>
<div><br> </div>> 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>> Daniel Morissette <a href="mailto:dmorissette@dmsolutions.ca">

<br>> templates (bug 1518).<br>> <br>> - mapraster.c: Allow mapresample.c code to be called even if projections<br>> are not set on the map or layer object. This is no longer a requirement.<br>> (Bug 1562)

> 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>> 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>> - 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

() 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>> - 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>>
