What is it?	- It's a java application which allows browsing OpenGIS WMS servers. Note: if you are looking for a free, portable and simple WMS server, you can have a look at the SimpleMapServer* project.*

Status:	- Alpha, the 0.631 it's mainly a bug fix of the first public version (0.630)

Features:	- You can view a screenshot *here*. - Retrieve WMS servers capabilities, accept capabilities version:1.0.0 and 1.1.1. - 'Recent-servers' list is kept. - Currently selected layers can be saved/loaded in Web Map Context files. - Can use date/time (with Wms 1.1.1 servers). - Can select individual layer style.

Distribution:	- As zip files. Follow this *link* - There is 3 types of file in one release, this to minimize download, you have to get at least two of them: 1) one containing only the application needed jars: log4j and dom4j. Named 'simpleMapClient_libs_only.zip' You may get them directly from the log4j/dom4j sites if you prefer. You just need to get theses libs once, they never change. This file is the biggest: ~800 Kb. 2) one containing only the java sources. Named 'simpleMapClient_src_only.zip' If you want to build the application, you need to get also the 'simpleMapClient_libs_only.zip' This file is ~110 Kb. 3) one containing only the application already builded. Named 'simpleMapClient_runtime.zip' You need to get also the 'simpleMapClient_libs_only.zip' to run it. This file is ~130 Kb. - To get a newer version, simply get file 2) and/or 3)

Instructions:	- See the readme.txt file inside the distribution.

Known problems:	- The view correspond to the area selected, no aspect ratio preservation is done.

Changes from previous version:	- Added a view refresh button - fix: context layers styles was wrongly saved - fix: current format and style is now saved in context - fix: styles and formats of the selected layers was mixed up. - fix: at application first time launch, the 'Tools/Options' menu was not working.
