+== Overview ==
+
+This RFC updates !MapGuide to use the latest version of ACE.
+
+For details, refer to ACE website: 
+
+http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html
+
+== Motivation ==
+
+Where possible, MapGuide's thirdparty components should be regularly kept up to date to ensure they get the latest bug fixes and enhancements.
+
+ACE is one such component that's several versions behind now and should be updated to the latest version.
+
+== Proposed Solution ==
+
+Upgrade existing OEM ACE 5.8 library to the latest ACE library version 6.2.6
+
+== Implications ==
+
+Several macros defined in previous versions of ACE no longer exist:
+
+ * ACE_LIB_TEXT (replaced with ACE_TEXT)
+ * ACE_RCSID (no replacement. All references removed)
+ * ACE_static_cast (no replacement. All references now use raw static_cast)
+
+On Windows, the MapGuideCommonApi and WebApi projects now require an explicit link to ACE to avoid unresolved external symbol errors due to ACE types being exposed by various public headers in MapGuideCommon
+
+== Test Plan ==
+
+Build/Run on Windows/Linux. Ensure existing unit test suite passes.
+
+== Funding/Resources ==
