WMS 1.3.0 in MapServer?

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi Barend,

I don't know of any such plans (unfortunately).

The big caveat is as I understand it that PROJ.4 currently has no way to 
determine the sequence of axes for a projection, and this is needed for 
WMS 1.3. In the projection WKT this information is not stored, so an 
application would need to check the EPSG database e.g.

I am sure Frank will be able to comment on this more.

Wrt other changes, I can name a few:

1) ScaleHints have been replaced with 
MinScaleDenominator/MaxScaleDenominator (so scale ratio)
2) LegendURL image sizes are now optional which is a good thing

Best regards,
Bart
