[mapserver-users] Announcing the new MS4W

[Jeff McKenna]

Great feedback, thanks.  Here I just installed a fresh copy into 
"D:/tmp/test bad spaces 7/", followed the config steps at 
http://www.ms4w.com/README_INSTALL.html#g-mapcache-apache-module and had 
no problems using MapCache.

In your testing, could you file tickets so this is caught for the next 
release? http://www.ms4w.com/trac/  I'll see you all on the new MS4W 
mailing list! :)

Thanks,

-jeff

Much thanks goes to Tanya Haddad for her support for this release, it has been quite an effort updating the full stack (the number of libraries updated and added is large as you see in the recent history).
