Hi everybody,

I put the new version 3 of p.mapper on the Sourceforge site (for now as 
beta1). One of the main changes that also causes the new major release 
numbering is the move to the GNU General Public License. This makes it 
possible for the future to use also code from other projects with 
similar scope that are also under the GPL, like Cartoweb or Appformaps.

Additionally, there are a number of changes and (I hope) improvements.

First of all
* a new and more flexible layout using zones:
   the map.phtml is now separated in default zones that shall allow
   a flexible design of the GUI. Elements' parameters are
   defined in js_config.php. Elements that shall not be displayed
   should just get their width/height set to 0.
   I will update the docs ASAP. For now, just play with the settings
   and see what happens ;-)

* the measure function with new features and enhancements:
   Grazie mille to Federico Nieri for his great work on the whole
   measurement part that should also become part of basic editing
   functions in the future. It mainly includes the possibility
   to zoom/pan during measurement/editing as well as cancellation
   of last points and overlap checks.

And some minor modifications:
* new default layout for zoom slider
* scale bar with drop down list of pre-defined scales
   (set in js_config.php)
* moved most of style settings from map.phtml to layout.css
* new themes for tool buttons (set in php_config.php)

I tested the version 3 as much as I could but I would be glad if others 
could also test it and see if everything's working fine, and report 
bugs, either via mail or the SF bug tracker.

Best regards

Armin
