Hi All, 

I've put up the 2nd test build of Maestro 3.0 for download. This is the
first Maestro 3.0 test build that should work on Mono.

http://download.osgeo.org/mapguide/maestro/MapGuide%20Maestro%203.0.0.5334%20Test2.zip

Once again, I'll preface all of this with your standard warning: 

HERE BE DRAGONS! THIS BUILD SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED PRODUCTION-QUALITY AND
SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR TESTING PURPOSES AND FEEDBACK. DO NOT USE THIS ON
PRODUCTION MAPGUIDE SERVERS! 

With that out of the way and your knowledge/acceptance of the above fact
when testing this build, here's the changes from Test Build #1:

The missing stuff:

   - Migrated MgCooker.exe
   - Migrated Official MapGuide API support. However this is disabled by
default as it requires additional setup. ConnectionProviders.xml and
Maestro.exe.config are documented to detail how to get Maestro working with
official MapGuide API dlls.
   - Migrated Server Status Monitoring window (under Tools menu)

The fixes and tweaks:

   - Modify the resource picker to support beginning from a specific folder
(as per Jason's suggestion). When creating a new resource via right click,
the folder you right-clicked is the initial starting point for the save
dialog when you save for the first time.
   - New Resource Dialog fixes and UX enhancements (as per Jason's
suggestion)
   - Prevent dangling editors as a result of closing the connection or
deleting the edited resource.
   - Drag/Drop support for the Resource Data UI (and any UI component that
uses this control)
   - Only prompt for restart when changing option values that actually
require a restart
   - New validation rules for DWF-based Layers
   - Mono fixes
     - Fix XML deserialization problems in Mono
     - Fix double height UI elements in Mono

The awesome sauce:

   - Inter-server Migration tools (based on ideas suggested by Jason in trac
ticket 1112)
     - Move/Copy resources to a folder on another server with option to
overwrite existing resources.
     - Copy selected resource (and its dependencies) to the same path on
another server. You have a choice of which dependent resources to copy and
whether to overwrite existing resources.

  
Note that Maestro 3.0 is still lacking some features from 2.x as they are
still in the process of being ported over: 

 - Custom user resource templates 
 - Runtime Map API
 - Raster layer editor 
 - Package editor 
 - Fusion editor 
 - Specialized feature source editors for other providers 
 - Possibly others 

Once again, general notes when testing this build: 

 - Found a bug? Ask yourself: Did this bug exist in Maestro 2.x, and hence
is a known problem? 
 - Similarly, that Maestro 2.x issue you filed in Trac some time ago: Has it
been fixed or successfully worked around with this build? 
 - So generally speaking, it really helps to have an existing installation
of Maestro 2.x on hand (current release being 2.1.4) as a baseline
comparison to whether something has been fixed or broken. 
 - Filed an issue under the previous test build? Did this test build fix
this issue for you?
 - All existing Maestro tickets will be re-targeted to the maestro-3.0
milestone 
 - Something breaks when running in Mono? It helps to specify the expected
behaviour when running in Windows. Screenshots help as well. Also indicate
the version of Mono

- Jackie
