See auth API.

Demo service

The demo service now allows you to query WMS layers in all supported SRS. It now also supports WMTS if you have enabled this service.

Other improvements

• WMS 1.3.0 now supports extended layer capabilities for metadata etc.
• You can configure fallbacks for errors in tile sources. MapProxy can create an empty tile if the tile source returns a 404 not found for a tile, for example.
