Hi all: In the migration to MapServer 5.0 I have observed a change in the behaviour of the DWithin filter. In previous version we were using this filter to select the features whose distance from a given object were less than a given value. Now the selection by this filter seems to be the features which are completely contained within a given buffer around the object as explained in ticket http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2105 (comment 05/27/07). In this ticket is also commented that the Beyond filter should select the features which are completely outside of the buffer, but in the tests I have made it seems that it selects the features which are not completely contained within the buffer. Am I right in my appreciation? Should the behaviour of the Beyond filter be changed?
Thanks. Best regards, Jorge
