A summary of changes from HISTORY.TXT:

Version 3.6.3 (2002-10-07)
--------------------------

- Fixed problem with numeric labels with OGR's STYLEITEM AUTO (bug
185)

- PHP MapScript: fixed set() method on all object types for parameters
  of type float and string.  The param value was not forced to the
right
  type and this could lead to unexpected values being set or crashes.

- Fixed bug 174 - improperly terminated string buffer in
msWMSException()

- Fixed problem with 'gcc undef' appearing in the
mapscript/php3/Makefile
  on FreeBSD.  Also added --enable-internal-ld-detect configure switch
to
  force use of an internal configure macro to detect ld command and
args
  in case the default doesn't work (this is for mapscript/php3/Makefile
only)

- Fixed potential crash with WMS GML query output (missing
msInitSHape() in 
  msGMLWriteQuery())

- Fixed Windows-specific problem where WMS capabilities were always
returned
  as 1.0.0 even if 1.1.0 was requested

Version 3.6.2 (2002-07-08)
--------------------------

- Added msTokenizeMap() in MapScript (and via 'mapserv -t test.map')

- Added map->setFontSet()

- Fixed Windows-specific problem with PHP MapScript ms_newMapObj("")
  called with empty filename.

- Fixed problem with double 'gcc' appearing in mapscript/php3/Makefile
on
  some systems.
