    2222    Well, the last 18 (this was written on 7/3/02) months have seen the releases of 3.5 and 3.6. Version 3.5 was a major reworking of the !MapServer internals and could have been called 4.0. Most importantly 3.5 leveled the playing field across data sources. Anything you could do with shapefiles could now be done with OGR datasources, SDE or even PostGIS. This included query support.

    24     3.5 also marked the start of MapServer support for the !OpenGIS WMS standard. !MapServer could act as a WMS server AND could act as a WMS client (cascading !MapServer). GML output also made it debut.

    2626    3.6 was much more of a maintenance release although there were new features added. See the above question for a reference to the change log. DM Solutions introduced their PHP !MapServer management tools based on the 3.6 release.
