[fusion-dev] Upgrading OpenLayers to 2.12

[Michael Adair]

Jackie,

I agree that updating would be very useful, however there are no plans 
for an upgrade from our side at this point.  I could probably spend a 
bit of time testing in the MapServer realm if someone wanted to put the 
effort into upgrading.

I think (99% sure) that we use a straight up build of OpenLayers using 
the fusion.cfg file to control the build.  If there were any 
customizations, I would typically check those into Fusion SVN as a patch 
file.
