Java MapScript Versions

[Diego Magni]

Dear List,

I'm implementing a mobile GIS with Java MapScript on an Apache 
Tomcat-based platform.

I've started the implementation with the obsolete version of Java 
MapScript, downloaded from http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/.

Now, I need to update my implementation, but the new version of Java 
MapScript (from MS4W distribution,  
http://maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html) is quite 
different and some methods have been changed or removed.

I'd like to use a current downloadable version: is the MS4W version 
stable? Are new versions of Java MapScript going to be published? Will 
they follow the MS4W version template?

Many thanks,

best regards,

Diego Magni
