Forwarding this message below to the pmapper community. This is a very
important release, as it contains PHP 7.2.14, with huge
performance/speed improvements, and also that PHPmapscript is now based
on the SWIG API for MapServer, in MS4W 4
(https://mapserver.org/mapscript/mapscript.html). This means that old
PHP code not based on the SWIG API will break, and must be adapted for
MapServer's SWIG API syntax. This means that pmapper source code would
have to be adapted also, to the SWIG API.
The purpose of the beta is to get your hands on it and start adapting
your code early.
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
Many Windows users will be very interested that MS4W-4.0.0-beta1 is
available now, which will be a huge release of changes, as every library
(over 200 now) has been upgraded and built with a new compiler (Visual
Studio 2017), and contains many great additions overall. You can test
the beta at:
- installer:
https://ms4w.com/release/experimental/ms4w-4.0.0-beta1-setup.exe
(recommended)
- archive: https://ms4w.com/release/experimental/ms4w_4.0.0_beta1.zip
Please see MS4W's HISTORY.txt for all of the changes, but here are some
of the highlights:
- Mapbox Vector Tile output through MapServer (demo included)
- PHP7 mapscript support (using the SWIG API)
- usual mapscripts available (Java, Python, CSharp)
- embedded Python 3.7.0
- running pycsw Catalogue Server
- expanded ZOO-Project WPS support (all GDAL/OGR services, Python,
PHP, CSharp, Java)
- new Matomo Analytics package
- simple map viewer on the localhost page
- GDAL 2.4.0
- MapServer 7.4.0-dev
- mod_wsgi for Apache
- and many more...
You can see that MS4W-4.0.0 will be a full SDI for Windows environments,
with ~40+ working mapfiles and over 1.7GB of files, empowering DevOps
and organizations worldwide. Also note that this is a major release for
MS4W, meaning that some things have changed dramatically (PHPmapscript
will now use the SWIG API for example), so please follow MS4W's README
for specific instructions for the many plugins and mapscripts.
When installing, it is very important that (if you are using the .zip)
your server must have the C++ Redistributable installed on it
beforehand: execute the local file /ms4w/tmp/vcredist_x86.exe
(alternatively if you use MS4W's setup.exe installer this is done
automatically)
Please provide your 4.0.0 testing feedback through the MS4W tracker (so
the feedback is not lost or forgotten): http://www.ms4w.com/trac/
Thank you all for sharing your spatial information with MS4W.
-jeff
