Hi Thomas: Thanks for providing such a complete document. How should we comment? There
are so many nuances to the proposal it's tough to some up in an email. I'd almost rather mark
up the document somehow. Would that be ok?

Hi devs,

RFC 54 has just been committed to the docs site:

http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-54.html

I've tried to be as complete as possible, but I'm quite sure I may
have missed a couple (I hope minor) points.

Most of the RFC is implemented in the graphics sandbox. It  would be
great if some of you could try it on your local mapfiles to squeeze
out as many bugs as possible (currently not activated/implemented are
symbology on lines and polygons, and all the raster layer related
code).
To enable the plugin code, you need to configure with --with-cairo.
The outputformat drivers are cairo/png , cairo/jpeg, cairo/svg and
cairo/pdf.

Ideally I'd like to merge the graphics branch into the trunk around
the end of the month so we have more eyes on it before our september
release target.

Best regards,

thomas
