[geomoose-psc] Feedback in testing PROJ v5.0.0 with GeoMOOSE

[Jeff McKenna]

Unfortunately that is incorrect, what is likely happening in your case 
is related to caching in your browser.  You can read the long thread 
starting at my report for the RC6 release (I was testing from source on 
Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows) at 
http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/proj/2018-February/008082.html

This will break all MapServer (and GDAL, PostGIS, GRASS GIS,...) 
services outputting to the Google "Web Mercator".  You can read in that 
thread how I asked for an immediate RC7 release with that fix.

The PROJ team chose to release anyway (the fix was actually applied to 
master before the release, but it will be available to all in the 5.0.1 
release).

I again encourage *everyone* to provide feedback directly to the PROJ 
community (there is even a Github ticket, if you prefer to give feedback 
that way instead): https://github.com/OSGeo/proj.4/issues/834
