MapServer 5.0.0 released!

[Nolte, Tim]

Thomas,

You've totally made my day. I was finally able to get your patch applied
today. I tested it out and it works wonderfully. My mapfile went from a
whopping 17sec down to a little over 5sec. I don't know if this feature
would ever actually make it into the full release but it's a keeper as
far as I'm concerned.

nope, that's not it..
you create the symbol definition in your symbol file or inlined in
your mapfile. and then you set the layers you want rendered fast to
LAYER
NAME blablba
DATA ...
 CLASS
  STYLE
   COLOR r g b
   SYMBOL 'aliased'
  END
 END
END

it's slower than gd but did speed up dense line drawings by a factor
of 3 when i tried it, less with polygons.
