[MapProxy] New MapProxy 1.4.0rc1 release

[Oliver Tonnhofer]

Hi there,

it is time for a new release of MapProxy. We start with a release candidate.

The latest release is available at:
http://mapproxy.org/static/rel/MapProxy-1.4.0rc1.tar.gz

To update within you virtualenv:

$ pip install http://mapproxy.org/static/rel/MapProxy-1.4.0rc1.tar.gz

The current documentation is available at:
http://mapproxy.org/docs/nightly/

Some new features:

Clipping requests to polygons
-----------------------------

The security API now supports limiting requests to polygon geometries
with the limited_to feature.

See:  http://mapproxy.org/docs/nightly/auth.html#limited-to

Demo service
------------

The demo service now allows you to query WMS layers in all supported SRS.
It now also supports WMTS if you have enabled this service.


Other improvements
------------------

- WMS 1.3.0 now supports extended layer capabilities for metadata etc.
- You can configure fallbacks for errors in tile sources. MapProxy can
  create an empty tile if the tile source returns a 404 not found for
  a tile, for example.

Note:
 There was a bug in the configuration loader that permitted to have an
 error in the layers configuration. Please make sure your configuration is
 valid after upgrading.
