Hi everyone,
After many many betas and release candidates, I'm very proud to announce
that MS4W 5.0.0 is available at https://ms4w.com
Important: you must be sure to run the file "/tmp/vc_redist.86.exe"
before installing Apache, if you are using the zip archive.
The history of changes is too long to paste here, so see it at
https://ms4w.com/HISTORY.html
A significant effort was put into upgrading the setup.exe installer, to
code sign it for Windows security approval, and also updating the many
MS4W apps & their mapfiles, as well as handling ms4w.conf, for the
recent MapServer version. It should install nicely into the beloved
path of C:/Program Files/, but installing at the root of a drive is
always best.
Please see the Migration Guide for upgrading to 5.0, with many important
notes and steps, at https://ms4w.com/trac/wiki/MigrationGuide5.x
The README has been also updated of course, with special notes for
enabling MapCache, pycsw, Oracle/Java/Python plugins, GDAL/MapServer
plugins etc. at https://ms4w.com/README_INSTALL.html
The timing on this release is special, as it is also 20 years since
Venka, Markus and I met in Bangkok, and agreed to create an annual
"FOSS4G" event.
(the MS4W dev server has also been updated, showcasing many MS4W apps at
https://ms4w.dev )
Happy MapServ-ing to all,
-jeff
