Hello all,
A new version of MS4W is available for download
(http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html), which
contains MapServer 4.8.3.
But a bigger announcement is that, with many many thanks to Howard
Butler and his MapServer buildkit, this version of MS4W includes all
mapscript flavours - CSharp, Java, Python, and PHP. It also includes
plugins for MrSID, Oracle 10i, and SDE 9.1 - but beware that these are
not out-of-the box and require configuration as outlined in
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html#c-gdal-ogr-plugins.
Please test away, especially the C/Java/Python mapscript communities,
and report issues and suggestions to the MS4W bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.maptools.org/). And please use the MS4W mailing list
for configuration issues/questions.
