Version 5.0.0-beta3 (2007-08-08)
--------------------------------

Known issues:

- This beta contains significant improvements and fixes on the AGG
   rendering front. However some build issues remain on some platforms.
   Please see ticket #2215 if building with AGG support doesn't work with
   the default configure script: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2215

Bug fixes:

- mapagg.cpp rewrite - the AGG renderer should now support all the GD 
features

- Use AGG when requested for drawing the legend

- Fixed problems with very large HTML legends producing no output (#1946)

- Use OGR-specific destructors for objects that have them rather than
   'delete' (#697)

- Include style-related info in HTML legend icon filenames to solve 
issues with
   caching of icons when the class or style params are changed (#745)

- Fixed issues with wms_layer_group metadata in WMS GetCapabilities (#2122)

- Use msSaveImageBufferAGG for AGG formats in getBytes (#2205).

- Make sure to emit $(AGG) to mapscriptvars because of conditional inclusion
   of stuct members to imageObj. (#2205)

- Make imageextra field in imageObj not conditional (not #ifdef'ed) (#2205)

- AGG/PNG and AGG/JPEG are the only valid agg drivers.
   Imagetypes aggpng24 and aggjpeg can be used to refer to the
   default output formats. (#2195)

- Fix memory leak with labepath object (#2199)

- Fix memory leak msImageTruetypePolyline (#2200)

- SWF: Fix incorrect symbol assignements (#2198)

- Fixed memory leaks in processing of WFS requests (#2077)

- Avoid use of uninitialised memory in msCopySymbol() (#2194)
