[Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] LIZMAP ERROR PRINT - HELP!

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi

I agree that most clients will not be affected by a change in the 
GetCapabilities response. However, the release is quite close, therefore 
it will be good to not change the capabilities document now.

After release, we might remove the additional elements from 
GetCapabilities. When GetProjectSettings has been introduced, we did not 
change it immediately to give clients a bit time to catch up.

Speaking about OGC compliancy in general: I heard from developers in 
other projects that probably each product needs small tweaks before 
passing the compliance tests (and not only the validation of the 
capabilities response is tested). So if someone wants to look into that 
and provide (constructive) feedback, that will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Marco
