[mapserver-users] Mapserver 6.0.0 beta4 mapscript layer.getFeature missing?

[Armin Burger]

Francesco

getShape() has been deprecated in MS <=5.6 and has been re-introduced 
(with modifications) in MS 6, and getFeature() that replaced getShape() 
in MS <=5.6 has been removed in MS 6, quite clear, isn't it? ;-)

There's a migration guide Mapscript 5.6->6 and an RFC hat describe 
Mapscript changes, though I don't know if that reflects the final status 
or if there have been additional changes in the meantime:
