[mapguide-users] MapGuide Open Source 2.6 Beta 1 released

[Jackie Ng]

As covered in the release notes, the CentOS build of MapGuide has a change in
the xerces library used by any part of MapGuide that works with XML content.

The xerces library for the CentOS build is now built with the iconv
transcoder instead of the default GNU iconv transcoder. This was done to
avoid cryptic "could not load a transcoding service" errors that were
occuring on mgserver startup in my developement and clean-install CentOS
VMs.

The Ubuntu build still uses xerces built against the default GNU iconv
transcoder and does not throw this xerces error.

I do not know what side-effects there are as a result of this change of
transcoders. If you encounter any issues with your CentOS install of 2.6
beta 1 in the areas of:

 * XML content processing
 * Interactions with resources containing non-english content
 * Resource Service APIs
 * Site/Session repositories

I'd be interested to know about it. Thanks.

- Jackie
