4.8 change in pixmap SIZE value

[Daryl Herzmann]

Hi,

I have recently been educated that the way to specify pixmap symbol sizes 
has changed in the 4.8 series.  Previously, the SIZE setting would control 
the pixmap symbol height.  In 4.8, the SIZE setting controls the largest 
pixmap dimension either the height or the width.

IMHO, this is bad behaviour.  Is there rationale for this change?  I am 
facing going thru all of my symbology and checking to make sure it is 
still correct when I upgrade to 4.8.

Moreover, I can't find mention of this change in HISTORY.txt .  Did I miss 
a discussion of this change on this list?

I can live with this change, but think it is horribly confusing for new 
users and presents an un-needed complication when upgrading from 4.6 to 
4.8
