[Semediawiki-user] Maps and Semantic Maps 0.6 rc2

[Jeroen De D. <jer...@gm...>]

Hey!

Maps and Semantic Maps 0.6 are finally as good as finished. An awful lot of
improvements have been made to the code, and quite some new features have
been added. Therefore I'm not releasing it just yet, but first this release
candidate [0]. Please try it out, and report any problems you might
encounter. The download also includes an alpha version of SMW 1.5.1 that
works with Semantic Maps 0.6, as this version of SM requires code added
after the  SMW 1.5 release. See  this page [1] for a full list of
compatibility with dependencies.

Some fundamental changes to how coordinates are handled have been made in
this version, requiring you to update your SMW data by running the "database
installation and upgrade" script in Special:SMWAdmin [2] after you upgraded
to SM 0.6. You will also need to run the "data repair and upgrade" script on
the same page, which is required in order to store all coordinates so that
Semantic Maps recognizes them. Not doing this will result into queries not
returning any coordinates. You don't need to bother with any of this if you
are just installing this version and not upgrading from any previous one.
