Hi Trevor, hi all, one thing that would be beneficial and easy to do is using a more recent gdal. Current stable version is 1.8 and MapGuide by default uses 1.6.
Not enough, it uses 1.6.0 while the last stable version in 1.6 branch is 1.6.3. Usually point releases are mostly bug fixes so using 1.6.0 is not a good idea. Another issue is that in 1.6 branch one has to manually pass "--with-thread" to gdal compilation (at least in Linux one) to have thread safe support, that is not enabled by default (while it is enabled by default in 1.7 and in 1.8 branches if I remember correctly). I have to recompile gdal to enable postgis support in OGR provider (I'm on Linux) and, as expected, version 1.6.3 works well with MapGuide. Moreover, also latest stable in 1.7 branch works fine, while I've had some problem with 1.8. In my tests I use OGR Provider with PostgreSQL/Postgis and gdal provider with tiff and ecw images (I've kept the single connection in gdal provider since I aim for stability, but not in OGR Provider that would be too penalizing).
