to mod-geocache
I've just posted a new tarball for the 0.4 release.

notable changes since 0.3 include:
* an option to the seeder which makes it seed only tiles contained
inside an ogr supported datasource. (eg: only seed tiles covering a
particular country). Beware that the supplied ogr datasource must be
in the same projection as the tileset you are seeding, as mod-geocache
oes not (currently) reproject the datasource.
* a complete demo interface for all supported services, thanks to
Steve Woodbridge. Setting up an openlayers page serving tiles from
mod-geocache is now as simple as copy/pasting a block of javascript
from the different demo pages.
* lots of minor and less minor bug fixes :)

a glimpse for 0.5:
* slighlty changed configuration syntax
* a configurable proxy for all OGC services, so mod-geocache can be
transparently put in front of one or more full OGC servers. It will
cache tiles that are configured, and forward all the rest. Fine
grained control as to where requests are proxied will be possible
(e.g: forward all WMS 1.3.0 GetCapabilities to server1, all WFS
GetFeature requests to server 2, and WMS GetFeatureInfo requests on
layer foobar to server3).

as usual, please report any bugs on the bugtracker.

cheers,
thomas
