MapServer 4.8.3

[Howard Butler]

All,

I am pleased to announce the release of MapServer 4.8.3.  This 
release fixes a critical issue with PIXMAP symbols, applies a PostGIS 
fix that missed the last release, and smoothes out a configure issue 
with Oracle Spatial.  Releases in the 4.8 branch are maintenance 
releases, and changes are mostly confined to bug fixes.  Here is a 
list of the fixes in this release:

- PIXMAP symbols were broken causing GD to spin off forever (bug 1725)
- Configure wasn't working for Oracle Spatial in the ORACLE_HOME case for 9i.
- queryByAttributes for PostGIS layers was creating the wrong WHERE 
clause (bug 1629).

The new version can be downloaded from
<http://cvs.gis.umn.edu/dist/mapserver-4.8.3.tar.gz> shortly, full 
changelog can be browsed at 
<http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/current/HISTORY.TXT>, and 
binaries should start to show up from the usual suspects in the next few days.

Howard
