support for this distro in future releases.

Changes since 4.0 Beta 1:

 - Installer
    - #2882: Newer libpq.dll (PostgreSQL 16.3) bundled with Windows
installer
 - Server Tier
    - #2874: Fix instability on Linux due to criss-crossed resolution of
sqlite3 and geos symbols to our shared libraries instead of the
distro-provided versions
    - #2879: Repository admin tools have been momentarily pulled from this
and future beta releases until the admin scripts have been updated and/or
rewritten
             As a workaround, use MapGuide Package files to backup/restore
repository content
    - #2880: Removed immature MVT tile rendering support
            If you want to produce Mapbox Vector Tiles, use any tool from
this list [https://github.com/mapbox/awesome-vector-tiles]
 - Web Tier
    - #2870: Fix QUERYMAPFEATURES SelectionKey containing a newline char,
breaking client-side reconciliation of selected features
    - #2873: More PHP8 compatibility fixes in PHP AJAX Viewer
    - #2876: Fix bad instanceof exception checks in PHP AJAX Viewer
    - #2868: More PHP8 compatibility fixes in Site Administrator
    - #2878: Buffer overflow fixes in WMS/WFS service layer
    - #2881: New optional --bind-to parameter for MgDevHttpServer
 - InstantSetup
    - Fix crash if no setup log path specified when configuring
 - Samples
    - #2872: Fix bad extents in SheboyganXYZ tileset
 - Updated web tier components
    - PHP 8.1.17 -> 8.1.29
    - httpd 2.4.56 -> 2.4.62
    - Tomcat 9.0.73 -> 9.0.89

Known Issues:

 - PostGIS driver support in the OGR provider on Linux is flaky and may not
render selections or features in a given bounding box. Consider accessing
PostGIS data sources via the OSGeo.PostgreSQL FDO provider instead.
 - If you have a .net project consuming the MapGuide nuget packages and the
.net project targets legacy .net Framework 4.x and uses packages.config for
tracking package references, the native dll copying targets will not
activate.
   For this to work in this type of project, you need to migrate
packages.config over to use PackageReference elements. Once migrated, the
native dll copying targets will activate.

FDO Notes:

  MGOS 4.0.0 Beta 2 is built against FDO trunk (rev 8263)

  Due to unavailable build resources (the build maintainer does not have
access to the ESRI SDK), this release does not include the ArcSDE FDO
provider

  FDO trunk (rev 8263) is near identical to FDO 4.1 in terms of
functionality with the following changes:

    - Internal GDAL updated to 2.4.4
      - Internal copy of zlib updated to 1.2.12
    - Windows: Better swap-ability of internal GDAL dll with externally
compiled one
      - OGR/GDAL/WMS providers changed to use GDAL/OGR C API surface to
avoid potential ABI compatibility problems swapping with an externally
compiled GDAL dll not compiled with the same MSVC compiler version we're
using
      - Internal xalan/xerces dlls renamed with "fdo" suffix to avoid
collisions with an externally compiled GDAL dll (that may bring its own
copies of xalan/xerces dlls)
    - Better support and handling of empty geometries
    - [SUPERCEDED]: Windows: Internal OpenSSL updated to 1.1.1k
    - [SUPERCEDED]: Windows: Internal libcurl updated to 7.73
    - Fixed multiple memory leaks in GDAL provider
    - Restore support for Count(1) expression in MySQL Provider
    - Improved WFS services support for WFS FDO provider
    - Improved WFS/WMS schema support for layer names with trailing
underscores
    - [New in Beta 2]: Improved WFS provider performance on large layer
lists
    - [New in Beta 2]: Improved WFS provider schema/class enumeration
performance
    - [New in Beta 2]: Improved WFS provider handling of 3D coordinate data
    - [New in Beta 2]: Windows: Internal libcurl updated to 8.4.0
    - [New in Beta 2]: Windows: Internal OpenSSL updated to 3.0.12
    - [New in Beta 2]: Fixed description metadata in PostgreSQL provider to
no longer refer to MySQL (cause of #2875)
    - [New in Beta 2]: Backported security fixes for internal SQLite used
by SDF provider
    - SQL Server Provider:
      - Now supports databases hosted on SQL Azure PaaS
      - Improve SRID sampling performance
      - [New for Beta 2] Added coordsys alias for GDA2020
    - MySQL Provider:
      - Support for the full suite of spatial operations for MySQL >= 5.6
      - Experimental support for MariaDB
      - Experimental support for MySQL 8.0
      - Improve SRID sampling query performance
    - PostGIS Provider:
      - Added support for PostgreSQL 12.0 - 16.0
      - No longer joins to pg_authid when listing tables/views
      - Support for curve strings and curve polygons
    - SHP Provider: Fix memory leaks in extended select implementation

  The King Oracle provider is built against and now requires Oracle Instant
Client 12cR2
