Documentation: Updated Developer's Guide, API reference documentation and
sample code are now included with the installer. The release notes contain
information on API changes for MapGuide 3.0

If you find a defect, please report it using http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide

An important thing to note about this release is that several USA-specific
coordinate system grid files have been omitted from all installation
packages. This would only affect users whose maps and data use a US-based
coordinate system based on an NSRS datum (see:
http://trac.osgeo.org/csmap/wiki/CsMapRfc7 for more information).

If you are one such affected user, we've provided these omitted data files
as a supplemental download that's available in the release notes page.

Also once again, a reminder that the 64-bit Linux builds we make available
are recommended only for testing purposes and should not be considered for
production deployment for this release cycle, even when 3.0 goes final.
