Hi All, I'm excited to announce the availability of new experimental bindings for the MapGuide API.
This project was driven by 2 main factors: 1. The impending EOL of PHP 5.6 on December 2018 (5 months away). We *must* upgrade to PHP7, but are blocked by the inability of our current infrastructure to generate a PHP7-compatible MapGuide API binding. 2. The need to support .net Core as another application development option under the ".net" umbrella. These 2 factors necessitated the need to explore how to generate MapGuide API bindings using a vanilla version of SWIG, instead of our heavily modified version with a who-know-who-changed-what history of modifications. If you have an existing MapGuide application in .net, Java or PHP, consider giving these new bindings a try. My intention for this project is to be an incubation area to iron out any show-stoppers, for eventual inclusion into MapGuide proper, which can then mean we can then finally drop PHP 5.6 and move to PHP 7 More information can be found in my blog post: http://themapguyde.blogspot.com/2018/07/introducing-new-experimental-bindings.html You can find the source (and binary packages on the releases page) on my github repo: https://github.com/jumpinjackie/mapguide-api-bindings Questions, comments, feedback, pull requests. All welcome. - Jackie -- Sent from: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/MapGuide-Users-f4182607.html _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
