=== Migration Guide : !GeoPrisma 1.4 to 1.6 ===

 * !OpenLayers 2.11 is not longer supported.  If you do not use !GeoPrisma included libraries, you need to upgrade to !OpenLayers 2.12-rc7.

 * Lots of new features were added to the !GeoExtPrintForm widgets. In order for them to work properly, you need to have a !MapFishPrint config.yaml including the following blocks.  See http://www.mapfish.org/doc/print/configuration.html to learn more.
  * mapTitle
  * mapSubTitle
  * comments
  * legends
  * map with overviewMap set

 * New widgets in this release : !OverviewMap.  Make sure to add them to your .xslt template files.

=== Other notes ===

 * !OpenLayers 2.12-rc7 is now used, which has many files that were deprecated and moved to a single deprecated.js file inside its lib directory.  This file is included when using the printAllLibSources with pVersion parameter equal to 'deprecated'.
