gfs output in Maserver 4.5 using gdal1.2.5

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi There,

  I was just testing the wfs output and came accross an issue that I do
not really understand.  The wfs get feature request produces a gml and a
gfs file.  In Mapserver 4.4.X (using gdal1-2.5), the gfs contains
attribute informations (<PropertyDefn>) . In Mapserver 4.5 (gdal1.2.5),
the attributes informations are not included in the file.

  Does anyone has a quick explanation on this ? I am using the same test
map file in both cases.

Thanks,


  Here is an example of a gfs produced in 4.4 :

  The 4.5 gfs for the same data/map is :

     <ElementPath>popplace</ElementPath>

       <ExtentYMax>461586.81250</ExtentYMax>
