Announcing: mapguide-rest 1.0 RC6

6 years later, I have finally put out another release of mapguide-rest!

The reason for finally putting out a new release (besides being long overdue!), is that I needed a solid verification of the vanilla SWIG API binding work for MapGuide Open Source 4.0 and mapguide-rest was just the ideal project that touches almost every nook and cranny of the MapGuide API. So if mapguide-rest still works with the PHP binding in MapGuide Open Source 4.0, that is as good of an endorsement to the reliability and readiness of these bindings.

For this release of mapguide-rest, it is compatible with the version of PHP that comes with:

• MapGuide Open Source 3.1.2 (PHP 5.6)
• MapGuide Open Source 4.0 Beta 1 (PHP 8.1)

Besides being compatible with the upcoming MapGuide Open Source release (and the current stable one), this release also adds a new series of APIs to perform various geo-processing tasks. All of which are available to try out in the interactive swagger API reference.

Special thanks to Gordon Luckett and Scott Hamiester for assistance in internal testing of many internal builds of mapguide-rest that finally culminated in this long-overdue release.

Now that this is out of the way, it is back to MapGuide development proper and getting closer to the 4.0 release.
