[mapguide-users] google maps as base layer

Fri Oct 24 07:04:50 EDT 2008

I don't know what is in the 2009 update but I do know that the 2.0.2  
update did NOT include Fusion 1.1 and it doesn't take a lot to guess  
that the 2009 update is probably based on 2.0.2.

That being said, we are close to getting 1.1 out the door and we have  
found a quick little hack that will make it work out of the box with  
existing templates (previously it required a change to the  
templates).  As soon as we get this done, Fusion 1.1 can be used as a  
drop-in replacement for existing MapGuide installations up to 2.0.2  
(not sure about MGE).

It seems likely, however, that MapGuide 2.1 will be based on the  
Fusion SVN trunk version which will become Fusion 2.0 shortly.  This  
version will contain all the improvements in 1.1 plus a raft of  
performance improvements funded by Autodesk.  Given how release cycles  
go, it will likely be a couple of months before MapGuide 2.1 is final  
though.

Cheers

Paul
