Upgrade VirtualEarth Support

Reported by: winwaed Assigned to: crschmidt
Priority: blocker Milestone: 2.7 Release
Component: Layer.VirtualEarth Version: 2.6
Keywords: Cc: winwaed@gmail.com
State: Complete

Description

Layer.VirtualEarth supports Virtual Earth versions 3 & 4, but not the more recent v5 or v6.1.

Microsoft are actively retiring the older Virtual Earth API versions, so support for the latest versions should be added.

(I might be interested in working on this at a future date (June?) but simply have not got the time this month whilst I implement OpenLayers & MapServer on an urgent project!!)

Might not be "Major" but "Minor" seems too low a priority considering how close this is?

  • priority changed from minor to major.

winwaed: There's nothing between major and minor in our trac :) But really, that isn't a big deal, since we don't use the priority field for anything at this time.

(In [7660]) Get our VirtualEarth layer working again with the latest (6.1) version. Backwards compatible with earlier versions thanks to soft insistence of cr5. Thanks to funkyc for the co-sleuthing. r=cr5 (Closes #1540)
