[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers.Format.WMC.v1 in 2.8 vs. 2.9

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

most of the changes are descirbed here,

http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/2251

however there should not be any *API* changes, but it seems your usage was the internal structures and not the API right?

Best regards,
Bart
