    • Selection keys included with each feature for easier visual reconciliation (RFC 176)
    • Bounding box information can be toggled on/off through the Layer Definition (RFC 178)

Other

  • GD renderer option has been removed (RFC 174)
  • This milestone will no longer provide builds for:
  • C++11 has been adopted as the C++ standard language version for the MapGuide codebase (RFC 172)

Features in the pipeline (with strong possibility of inclusion)

  • New replacement managed API bindings generated via vanilla and un-modified SWIG
    • MapGuideDotNetApi supporting .net core and full framework
    • Java wrapper API targeting JDK 7 and higher
    • PHP wrapper targeting PHP 7.x
