Sharing the news here with the OSM community, that the latest MS4W
(MapServer for Windows) installer now also includes osm2pgsql.exe
(master, -with-lua), which helps provide an easy SDI solution for
Windows users, offering fast services of WMS/WFS/WFS-T,WCS,WPS,CSW,SOS
and tiles, with a simple extract of a zipfile. Thanks to the OSM
community and tile-serving team for the great osm2pgsql tool. -jeff

Hello all!
Today is a big day as Gateway Geomatics is truly proud to announce that
MS4W 4.0.0 is finally available! This is 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. Get it now at https://ms4w.com
Please see MS4W's HISTORY.txt for all of the changes (or the bottom of
this email for the full list), but here are some of the highlights:
- PHP7 mapscript support (using the SWIG API)
- PHP 7.2.16
- 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
- Mapbox Vector Tile output through MapServer (demo included)
- osm2pgsql commandline utility
- many HTTPS config changes and fixes (including a workaround for a
show-stopping MapCache issue on some systems)
- enhancements to the setup.exe installer
- and many more...
You can see that MS4W-4.0.0 is 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)
As always please provide your requests for enhancements and issues
through the MS4W tracker (so the feedback is not lost or forgotten):
https://ms4w.com/trac/ You can also contact me directly for support.
Thank you all for sharing your spatial information with MS4W !!
