[OpenLayers-Dev] ANNOUNCEMENT: OpenLayers 2.12 RC4!

[Roald de Wit]

Hi,

At least 3 people have experienced the following bug with OL 2.12 and 
Firefox:

https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers/issues/458

Github does not give non-committers the option of tagging an issue for a 
milestone, so this bug may have gone unnoticed.

I wouldn't be surprised if more reports of white lines come in after the 
release of 2.12. Maybe some of the core devs could have a look and 
determine if it's something that can be fixed within OL or that we'd 
just have to wait for a fix in Firefox (if it turns out to be a Firefox 
bug)?

Regards, Roald
