About MapGuide's WMS/WFS support

This post is bit of a Public Service Announcement.

When someone asks "What version of WMS/WFS does MapGuide support?", that question has two different answers depending on context

1. Are you trying to consume a WMS/WFS service with MapGuide?

The answer then becomes what version of WMS/WFS is supported by their respective FDO providers that come with your MapGuide installation.

If we look at the table of FDO RFCs, we see that:

• The latest WFS version supported is: 1.1.0 (introduced in FDO 3.6, circa AIMS 2012. No equvialent MGOS release)
• The latest WMS version supported is: 1.3.0 (introduced in FDO 3.7, circa AIMS 2013 and MGOS 2.4)

2. Or are you trying to use MapGuide to serve out WMS/WFS services?

If we look at the table of MapGuide RFCs, we see that:

• The latest WFS version is: 1.1.0 (introduced in the 2.3 milestone, circa AIMS 2012, no equivalent MGOS release)
• The latest WMS version is: 1.3.0 (introduced in the 2.3 milestone, circa AIMS 2012, no equivlaent MGOS release)

Given that the current stable release of MapGuide Open Source (2.4) was made after the introduction of these RFCs, these are the respective version numbers of WMS and WFS that can be served and consumed by the current stable version of MapGuide.

For older releases of MapGuide, you can cross-reference your MapGuide's major.minor version number against the respective table of RFCs to determine the level of WMS/WFS support.
