Version 1.5 -- minor updates and bug fixes. -- removed need to compile MapServer with gif support. Pngs are used as example symbols. -- reverted to old code for rubberband box because the new Opera supports element clipping. Works well in all browsers. -- fixed bug where map object tried to reference reference map object before it existed. Now the refmap registers itself with map object. -- added example configuration variable settings to this readme file. Version 1.4 --Fixed map file and query string template declarations to work with MapServer v4. If you are using MapServer v3.6 or earlier, please see the test.map file and comment out the TEMPLATEPATTERN line. --Fixed rubberband box for Opera web browser. Opera didn't want to obey clipping settings, so I changed the mechanism to use a single layer with a red border. The previous version used 4 layers with red backgrounds all sized to the full map dimensions (one layer for each side of box). Each layer was clipped to a 1 pixel line segment. This worked smoothly in Internet Explorer for some reason, but Opera didn't like it. The new method resizes the layer with the red border, which works in all browsers, although IE seems a little choppier than it used to be. Version 1.3 --Updated test.map file and symbol.sym file syntax to work with MapServer v3.6.5. Might not work with 3.6.4 anymore. --Not tested with MapServer development v4.
