-------- Forwarded Message --------

Hello everyone,

Another beta of MS4W 4.0.0 is available:

  - installer: 
https://ms4w.com/release/experimental/ms4w-4.0.0-beta2-setup.exe 
(recommended)
  - archive: https://ms4w.com/release/experimental/ms4w_4.0.0_beta2.zip

Please see MS4W's HISTORY.txt for all of the changes, but here are some 
of the recent changes:

          - upgraded PHP to 7.2.15 (trac ticket 184)
          - upgraded APCu to 5.1.17
          - upgraded MapServer and MapScript (CSharp, Java, Python, PHP) 
to today's 7.4.0-dev
          - moved mapscript plugins into /ms4w/msplugins
          - moved test-cgi-mapscript.py into 
/ms4w/msplugins/mapscript/python
          - use relative paths for MapCache and mod_wsgi Apache modules 
(trac ticket 185)
          - use relative paths for ZOO-Project's main.cfg



You can see that MS4W-4.0.0 will be a full SDI for Windows environments, 
with ~40+ working mapfiles and over 1.7GB of files, empowering DevOps 
and organizations worldwide.  Also note that this is a major release for 
MS4W, meaning that some things have changed dramatically (PHPmapscript 
will now use the SWIG API for example), so please follow MS4W's README 
for specific instructions for the many plugins and mapscripts.

When installing, it is very important that (if you are using the .zip) 
your server must have the C++ Redistributable installed on it 
beforehand: execute the local file /ms4w/tmp/vcredist_x86.exe 
(alternatively if you use MS4W's setup.exe installer this is done 
automatically)

Please provide your 4.0.0 testing feedback through the MS4W tracker (so 
the feedback is not lost or forgotten): https://ms4w.com/trac/

Thank you all for sharing your spatial information with MS4W.
