[MapServer-users] symbol minsize/maxsize in mapServer 8

[Jeff McKenna]

I'm sorry for that docs confusion Jörg.  Someone found the pull request 
that I had made, for the 8.0 release, and I was shocked to see all of my 
changes in the docs for that release - it goes to show the effort, 
behind the scenes, not just code changes, for such releases.  -jeff
