Version 5.0.0-beta3 (2007-08-08)
--------------------------------
Known issues:
- This beta contains significant improvements and fixes on the AGG
rendering front. However some build issues remain on some platforms.
Please see ticket #2215 if building with AGG support doesn't work with
the default configure script: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2215
Bug fixes:
- mapagg.cpp rewrite - the AGG renderer should now support all the GD
features
- Use AGG when requested for drawing the legend
- Fixed problems with very large HTML legends producing no output (#1946)
- Use OGR-specific destructors for objects that have them rather than
'delete' (#697)
- Include style-related info in HTML legend icon filenames to solve
issues with
caching of icons when the class or style params are changed (#745)
- Fixed issues with wms_layer_group metadata in WMS GetCapabilities (#2122)
- Use msSaveImageBufferAGG for AGG formats in getBytes (#2205).
- Make sure to emit $(AGG) to mapscriptvars because of conditional inclusion
of stuct members to imageObj. (#2205)
- Make imageextra field in imageObj not conditional (not #ifdef'ed) (#2205)
- AGG/PNG and AGG/JPEG are the only valid agg drivers.
Imagetypes aggpng24 and aggjpeg can be used to refer to the
default output formats. (#2195)
- Fix memory leak with labepath object (#2199)
- Fix memory leak msImageTruetypePolyline (#2200)
- SWF: Fix incorrect symbol assignements (#2198)
- Fixed memory leaks in processing of WFS requests (#2077)
- Avoid use of uninitialised memory in msCopySymbol() (#2194)
