[MapServer-users] breaking changes in branch-7-6 after commit of experimental changes from branch-8-0

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Maybe the commit could be adjusted in Mapserver 7. Out of curiosity, what is the use case for zero sized labels and symbols? To disable them, or? About the angle, by the Mapserver 7.0 documentation, doesn't it feel like negative angles were not thought to work ever?

"Angle, given in degrees, to rotate the symbol (counter clockwise). Default is 0 (no rotation). If you have an attribute that specifies angles in a clockwise direction (compass direction), you have to adjust the angle attribute values before they reach MapServer (360-ANGLE), as it is not possible to use a mathematical expression for ANGLE."

Dear Mapserver commiters

this commit there:
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/6818

broke a lot of things,
like style angles not supporting negative values anymore or label size mandatorily greater than zero (also possibly for symbol)

Im not against changes, but changes should be:
a) documented
b) announced with preferably a deprecation period

so, please revert that commit or provide adequate change/documentation for all the breaking changes.

Thank you
Best regards
Oliver Christen
