[mapguide-users] MapGuide Open Source 1.0.0 - RC1 Released

[Jason Birch]

Andy,
 
>From "The Essential FDO" page on https://fdo.osgeo.org/ :
 
Community Edition
  The FDO source code is available along with the MapGuide(r) Open
Source
  code. The source code for the Oracle, SQL Server, and Raster providers
is not
  available as open source. For more information about this project, see
the
  Open Source Geospatial Foundation at www.OSGeo.org.
 
So, if that document is accurate, we're hoping that Frank's GDAL
provider gets rolled into FDO sooner rather than later for Open Source
installations.  It doesn't mention the PostGIS provider though, while
the Autodesk FAQ does.
 
Jason

I'm going to ask this before I install as it will help gauge the
importance of upgrading immediately versus taking it a little more
slowly.  I glanced through the PDF documents and the web site and did
not see information on the differences between 0.91 and 1.0 other than
what Bob had in the announcement email.  If I missed that, is there a
comprehensive list somewhere?  If not, here are some questions:

*	
	Did ODBC and secondary datasource support make it into the
release? 
*	
	Are more coordinate systems supported?
*	
	Is raster supported?

Thanks.

The only two that did are SDF and SHP. We plan to release them
incrementally over the next couple of months.

Which FDO's didn't make it into the RC1?

Today we are releasing MapGuide Open Source 1.0.0 - Release Candidate 1
and launching the new home of MapGuide Open Source:
http://mapguide.osgeo.org <http://mapguide.osgeo.org/> . To coincide
with the release a new freely downloadable preview version of MapGuide
Studio will be available. 

 

This release is significantly faster and more robust than the previous
0.9.1 release and the installation has been simplified. The AJAX Viewer
is much more stable, complete, and now works in Safari as well as
Internet Explorer and FireFox. In addition the Map Agent now fully
accepts Open Geospatial WMS and WFS (non-transactional) requests.

 

Notes for users of 0.9.1

 

1. This release will require you to recreate your feature sources,
layers, maps, and web layouts. This should be the only time this is
required. Future releases will incorporate an upgrade script that will
migrate and upgrade the resources in an existing servers XML database. 

 

2. The prefixes on all of the APIs have been changed from Aw to Mg. To
migrate your code from 0.9.1 to 1.0.0 you should be able to search and
replace Aw* with Mg*.

 

One word of warning, it looks like the new MapGuide Studio has not yet
been posted on autodesk.com. Stay tuned I will send a follow-up e-mail
as soon as it is available.

 

Bob
