MapServer has released 5.6.0-beta5 version that available for download now. This new beta addresses several issues, especially on the rendering front (see the list of fixes at the end of this message). The team are still working on a blocker issue (Oracle driver memory leak) and should be able to move to a release candidate very soon if the feedback on this beta is positive.
Changes on version 5.6.0-beta5 (2009-11-04):
- Apply a minimum width on label outline (new outlines were too thin by default)
- Don’t apply scalefactor to polygon outline widths (but apply the resolutionfactor)
- Fix vector symbol size calculation (#2896)
- Applied code clean up patch for mapsearch.c. (#3189)
- Fixed labels centering when the label is longer than the line (#2867)
- Ensure Python MapScript building doesn’t reorder the libraries, support the ’subprocess’ module where available for setup.py, and default to using the “super” swig invocation described in the Python MapScript README when mapscript_wrap.c isn’t available on the file system. #2663 contains the reordering issue.
- Fixed memory leak with shapefiles associated with one-pass query implementation (#3188)
- Fix abs/fabs usage that prevented angle follow labels to be discarded if they were too wrapped on themselves
- Allow CGI mapshape and imgshape variables to consume WKT strings (#3185)
- Added support for nautical miles unit (#3173)
- Fixed encoding metadata ignored by a few wcs/wfs 1.1 and sos requests (#3182)
- PHP/Mapscript: added “autofollow” and “repeatdistance” in labelObj (#3175)
- Added charset in content-type http header for wms/wfs/sos/wcs requests (#2583)
- Python/MapScript: improve compatibility for different swig versions (#3180)
- maprasterquery.c: a few fixes since beta4 (#3181, #3168).
- mapows.c: Generate WMS LatLongBoundingBox in WGS84 datum (#2578)
