We are pleased to announce the release of MapProxy 1.7.0. It contains a lot of major and minor improvements.
The latest release is available at: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/MapProxy
To upgrade within your virtualenv:
$ pip install --upgrade --no-deps MapProxy
Updated documentation is available at: https://mapproxy.org/docs/1.7.0/
Some noteworthy improvements since 1.6.0 are:
There is a new autoconf tool that is able to create MapProxy configurations based on existing WMS services. It reads WMS capabilities documents and creates sources and caches for all layers. It's a great way to get started with a new service.
See: https://mapproxy.org/docs/1.7.0/mapproxy_util_autoconfig.html
Some services you need to seed are not as robust as you like. We improved mapproxy-seed
to be more resilient with unstable sources. It prints more useful error messages and retries
to request images for longer: seeding will not abort if a source is down for a few hours.
MapProxy 1.7.0 is the last release with support for Python 2.5.
There are many more changes and improvements. For a complete list of see: http://github.com/mapproxy/mapproxy/blob/1.7.0/CHANGES.txt
