[mapserver-dev] RFC 54: MapServer Rendering API

[thomas bonfort]

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
