[fusion-users] Proper Class Names in MapServer Mapfile

[Nolte, Tim]

It would seem to me that if $class->title was add that long ago there
should be no question of whether this can be incorporated into Fusion. I
wouldn't think people would be using Fusion with anything older then 4.x
MapServer/MapScript.

Hi,

It seems to have been added in MapServer 3.6. I'm not sure if Fusion 
with a version that old.
