[ka-Map-users] cvs access available

[Paul Spencer]

ka-Mapers ...

I've set up a live demo of the newer version of ka-Map at:

http://www.mapsherpa.com/ka-map/

it has a couple of glitches that we know about:

* in IE there seems to be a javascript error when you pan ... this 
apparently affects the keymap updating

* in all browsers, if you change layer visibility then zoom in, all the 
checkboxes reset even if the layers are really on.

There are also a couple of cool new things besides being able to turn 
layers on and off :)  check it out!

CVS access is now available, you can get the details from the cvs page 
on the following page:

http://ka-map.maptools.org/index.phtml?page=cvs.html

(ignore the warning ... it won't disappear until about 26 May 2005 23:00 
EST when the pages get updated)

Please note that the previously distributed files contained code that is 
now in branch-0-1 in cvs.  If you checkout with no branch, you will get 
the newer version of the code ... it is almost identical except that I 
have now extracted most of the javascript into separate files and 
started to provide an API.

Also, the newer version now has the capability to separate the map image 
into multiple layers based on groups in your map file, and a legend 
template is provided to turn layers on and off.

When we have some feedback on stability of this version, we'll cut a new 
tarball for those that are scared off by CVS :)

Cheers

Paul
