[Chameleon] Chameleon 1.99 Beta 2

[bartvde at xs4all.nl]

Hi Ken,

for a full discussion see:
http://www.maptools.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=367

If you want to get it working now add:
compressformats="ZIP,TGZ" as an attribute to the ExtractWFSData CWC2 tag
in the template.

In next releases it will change though to optional child elements:
<cwc2 type="ExtractWFSData" ...>
<compressionformat value="ZIP" />
<compressionformat value="TGZ" />
</cwc2>

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Bart
