New features

Some noteworthy improvements since 1.2.0 are:

RESTful WMTS

The MapProxy WMTS now also supports the RESTful API. This service also supports custom URL templates for your service.

See WMTS configuration.

CouchDB cache backend

You can now use a CouchDB as a backend for tile caches. Each cache gets stored into a separate database and you can configure the layout of the URLs of each tile. You can also add additional metadata for each tile.

See CouchDB configuration.

mapproxy-util serve-multiapp-develop tool

The new command is similar to serve-develop but it starts a MultiMapProxy instance.

See mapproxy-util documentation.

Other features

• Mapnik source now supports Mapnik 2.

• You can limit the maximum WMS response size in pixels with max_output_pixels.

• You can configure additional SRS for which MapProxy should add bounding boxes to the WMS capabilities with the new wms.bbox_srs option.
