[mapserver-users] MapServer 6.2.0 beta2 release

[Havard Tveite]

The behaviour of the GAP parameter has changed - before 6.2,
it specified some variation of the distance between the
bounding boxes of the symbols.  In 6.2 it specifies the
centre to centre distance between the symbols.

This change is described in the migration guide for 6.2,
which I can not find on mapserver.org/trunk (for some reason,
it is the 6.0 migration guide that is there).
