The release notice just hit my inbox, Mapguide Opensource has hit v1.0.2 which includes the following items of interest to me,
- Update configure.in to use FDO 3.1.0
- Performance Improvement: Add Feature Service caching
- Performance Improvement: Add FDO connection pooling
- Update GetSpatialContext API to set OGC WKT for FDO WFS/WMS provider spatial contexts
Even though it was released as minor, those 4 points alone make it a worthwhile upgrade. This also overcomes my bugbear mentioned on Jason Birch’s blog about incompatibilities between current FDO project versions and the one bundled with 1.0.1 … speaking of which Jason, i’m still waiting for that “easy” mapguide/fdo compile guide 
It will be interesting to see the improvements to the FDO providers in particular … *goes off to install*

As much as i like the webstudio, it just doesnt have everything~
I haven’t tested yet, but I believe that the installer was also fixed to pick up the correct location of PROJ4_LIB, so that WMS will work properly.
I don’t think you’re going to be happy about FDO; I believe that the target number we need for compatibility with the source-available providers is 3.2. If I’m wrong on this, I’ll be estatic.
This is essentially a maintenance release, but I think that it’s indicative that the Map 3D SP3 that uses these same FDO providers advertises “connect to Oracle 43% faster”. I haven’t had a chance to test yet, but I have high hopes for FDO performance at this release.
Uh, about that guide…
I could write one for Windows / VS Pro. I’d need help porting to Linux though
Windows, windows windows
