WMS & WFS Publishing cont.
Interoperability
Productivity
Scalability
Improve the UI in MapGuide Studio to simplify the WMS & WFS publishing process.

17. Scalability & Performance
Industry Extensions
Scalability & Performance
Interoperability
Productivity
FastCGI Support
Scalability
FastCGI's main aim is to reduce the overhead associated with interfacing the web server and CGI programs, allowing a server to handle more web page requests at once.
With FastCGI now being officially supported by Microsoft, we can get rid of the unsupported ISAPI module when using PHP with IIS. For consistency we will update the web tier to use FastCGI so this includes using FastCGI for Apache and not just IIS.

18. New Stylization UI Choice of “old” or “new” UI
Old Stylization UI will be deprecated

19. Industry Extensions
Watermark
Interoperability
Productivity
Scalability
We are offering a new resource type and a UI in Studio to define one or more watermarks for a MapDefinition.
The watermark can be an image or text.
Watermarks are also published within WMS layers and plots/prints
