John,
I'd say:
1. GeoMoose 2.0.x works with MS4W 2.3.1 (which includes PHP 5.2.6 and Mapserver
5.2.1)
2. GeoMoose 2.2 will work with MS4W 2.3.1 (that's what I've been testing)
3. GeoMoose 2.2 MAY work (we need to test) with MS4W 3.0 (which includes PHP
5.3.0, Mapserver 5.4.2)
This last point really depends on
- when is MS4W 3.0 out of beta?
- when will GM 2.2 be ready for beta (we still have some work to do)
- how extensive are the changes to GM 2.2 to work with MS4W 3.0?
I'd really like GM 2.2 to be compatible with MS4W 3.0 (so we could avoid a point
release). But not if it delays GM 2.2 too much.
