MapServer 5.6.0-beta2 has just been released and is available for
download at
http://mapserver.org/download.html OR
http://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/mapserver-5.6.0-beta2.tar.gz
The list of fixes since beta1 is included at the end of this message.
Once again, we need your help to ensure a high quality product so please
help out by testing your applications with this new beta.
One area that need special testing is the queries, to catch and fix any
possible side-effects of the new one-pass query implementation in RFC
52. Here are a list of things to test for those interested:
1- Test regular CGI applications with queries, with and without
querymaps, and with various data sources (shapefiles, OGR, PostGIS,
Oracle Spatial, SDE, etc.)
2- In the MapScript case, a change is required: MapScript applications
will need to be modified to use the new layer.resultsGetShape() method
to read query results instead of the layer.getShape/getFeature() methods
that were used in previous versions. It is also no longer required to
call layer.open() before reading query results as this is now handled by
the query functions. With that little change, MapScript applications
should work properly, if not then please let us know ASAP.
3- WFS services use the query mechanism as well internally, so it would
be good to have reports of tests of WFS GetFeature requests with various
data sources.
Thanks for your help
The MapServer development team.
