  • Incorporates the Fusion technology from DM Solutions which represents the biggest source code donation from the community to date.

Areas for Improvement

• A public build system for MapGuide would provide the community information on the state of trunk and access to daily builds of trunk.
• Linux based builds of MapGuide and FDO remain more difficult than they should be. Some effort was put into an FGS installer but more work is required to the build systems of both FDO and MapGuide to make this fully viable.
• Website navigation is still more difficult than it should be. The project needs to do some reconcilliation of what is in Drupal vs what is in Trac, and come up with a plan and resources to make the site easier to navigate and use.
