MapServer 4.6.0-beta3 released

[Ken Lord]

Hi Daniel,
 I'm using the build of 4.6beta3 for windows that was made available for 
download from maptools.org <http://maptools.org> today.
 If TRANSPARENT is within the outputformat, mapserver fails and returns the 
following error message:
 "GD/JPEG OUTPUTFORMAT jpeg has TRANSPARENT set ON, but this is not 
supported. It has been disabled."
 Leaving TRANSPARENT out of the outputformat block prevents the error 
message, and the map appears to be generating properly including 
transparancy. Previously I had to have TRANSPARENT ON in my outputformat 
block to enable transparancy.
 If this was the intended effect, then just the 4.6 documentation needs to 
be updated for the syntax change. I brought this up because the change was 
not listed in the revision history in history.txt, and the mapserver log and 
our flash interface don't show this error message, leaving me to try it out 
in an HTML template when our flash site failed.
 Thanks again,
Ken
