[MS4W-Users] MS4W 3.0 RC1 available for testing and feedback

[Jeff McKenna]

MS4W 3.0 release candidate 1 is available for testing:
http://www.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/ms4w_3.0.zip (36MB)

Many libraries have been updated since beta 11, and I am happy to report 
that the one mysterious issue that was holding back the 3.0 release (gif 
symbol changes color with different sizes: 
http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2094) has been solved with 
this upgrade.

As always I encourage feedback, so if you find any problems please file 
a bug in the the bug tracker, noting the 3.0-RC1 version in your summary 
(login or create an account at:
http://bugzilla.maptools.org/query.cgi?GoAheadAndLogIn=1).

If there is no feedback within the next few days, this release candidate 
will be posted as the final 3.0 release.
