| | 24 | == Overview == |

| | 31 | |
| | 32 | == Motivation == |
| | 33 | |
| | 34 | There have been several bug fixies and most noticably 64bit fixes that are required in order for MapGuide to work with 64bit. |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | == Proposed Solution == |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | Upgrade existing OEM ACE 5.4 library to the latest ACE 5.6 library. |
| | 39 | |
| | 40 | == Implications == |
| | 41 | |
| | 42 | The only noted change that impacts MapGuide was a change to the generateUUID() API used by MapGuide to generate a unique ID. The NEW API is called generate_UUID(). They are functionally identical. |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | == Test Plan == |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | Build/Run on Windows/Linux. |
| | 47 | |
