[mapguide-users] SVN Fusion broken now...

[Andrew DeMerchant]

Ya, I already posted to the ticket about that - just after I'd sent this 
email....I have no clue how to patch it myself - it's a complex fix, 
spanning over 2 different tickets. My fingers are crossed....

Perfection isn't a realistic goal, no - but something that's deployable 
/ usable would be pretty realistic. I'm not sure that it's at that point 
yet - for my projects, it's not...though I'm really really close to 
finally getting it ready (just this bug left, mainly). Out of the box, 
it just had too many bugs for my applications. No question that the 
updates in the works will improve performance - for me though, speed is 
secondary to functionality. Anyway, just my $0.02...Fusion rocks though 
- don't get me wrong! It's a great addition to MGOS!
