[mapserver-dev] Reprojecting rectangles crossing datelines

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

I have incorporated a change in mapproject.c to reproject rectangles
as if they were polygons (r9786) in order to take advantage of the dateline
wrapping logic available for polygons.  I consider this a high risk change,
and would suggest people keep an eye out for issues it might cause - they can
be noted in http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3179.

I have also written about some of my recent world mapping travails and
discover of the very useful +over switch for PROJ.4 on my blog:

Best regards,
