[TinyOWS-dev] TinyOWS 0.8.0 is available

[Olivier Courtin]

Hi All !

TinyOWS 0.8.0 release is now available !

We strongly encourage to update to 0.8.0.
As a lot of debug stuff have been done, since the
previous 0.7.0 release.

Caution: PostGIS 1.5 is now mandatory to use with TinyOWS 0.8.0.



Detailed Changelog:

  - PostgreSQL schema support
    It means that you can use several PostgreSQL schemas,
    and not only the default one (i.e public)

  - JSON output format for GetFeature  (use OUTPUTFORMAT=application/ 
json)
    Nice to have, for OpenLayers usage.
    A specific Howto is available: http://tinyows.org/trac/wiki/OpenLayersHowToBasic

  - PostGIS 1.5 new geography support.
    You can either use PostGIS geography or geometry types, they work  
both.

  - Input request log mechanism

  - Command line --check option, to check configure stuff
    Really usefull in conjunction with --help option to help to debug

  - Ability to deactivate XSD schema and/or OGC SFS validation
    (even if it's not at all a recommended practice !)

  - Up to date documentation and OpenLayers integration step by step  
HowTo
     http://tinyows.org/trac/wiki/ConfigFile
     http://tinyows.org/trac/wiki/OpenLayersHowToTransactional

  - Slighlty improve performance for GetFeature operation
    (about  ~10% faster)

  - And a lot of debug stuff



Don't hesitate to keep asking for new features,
Don't hesitate to keep sending patches,
Don't hesitate to keep helping in documentation process,

:)
