Gone for a week and there are two releases of MapServer.   Well actually just one and a bit.  After the release of 5.6.4 a bug was introduced with the scale calculations and 5.6.5 fixed the issue.

Here are the fixes included in version 5.6.4

IMPORTANT SECURITY FIXES:

- Disabled some insecure (and potentially exploitable) mapserv command-line
debug arguments (#3485). The –enable-cgi-cl-debug-args configure switch
can be used to re-enable them for devs who really cannot get away without
them and who understand the potential security risk (not recommended for
production servers or those who don’t understand the security
implications).

- Fixed possible buffer overflow in msTmpFile() (#3484)

Other fixes:

- Fixed possible race condition with connectiontype WFS layers (#3137)

- Modified mapserver units enum order to fix some problems with external
packages (#3173)

- fix blending of transparent layers with AGG on MSB archs (#3471)

- Fixed imageObj->saveImage() sends unnecessary headers (#3418)

- Correct PropertyName parsing for wfs post requests (#3235)

- Ensure mapwmslayer.c does not unlink file before closing connection on
it (#3451)

- Fix security exception issue in C# with MSVC2010 (#3438)

- Write out join CONNECTIONTYPE when saving a mapfile. (#3435)

- Fixed attribute queries to use an extent stored (and cached) as part of
the queryObj rather than the map->extent. (#3424)

- Reverted msLayerWhichItems() to 5.4-like behavior although still
supporting
retrieving all items (#3356,#3342)

- Grid layer: remove drawing of unnecessary gird lines (#3433)

- OGC Filters for spatial dbs should be enclosed in parentheses (#3430)

- Improve the handling of simple string comparisons for raster classified
values (#3425)

- Add the ogc namspace to filters generated by Mapserver (#3414)

- Fix MS_NONSQUARE to work in mode=map (#3413)

- Improve error message when loadQuery() filename extension check fails
(#3302)

- Fix GetLegendGraphic using keyimages (#3398)

- Fix getFeatureInfo queries on WFS layers (#3403)

- Fixed mapstring.c build problem related to errno (#3401).

- Correct ungeoreferenced defaults via GetExtent() on raster layer (#3368)

- More adjustments to how TLOCK_GDAL held around msGetGDALGeoTransform
(#3368)

Here are the fixes included in version 5.65

- Fixed scale calculation problem caused by mapscale.c’s inchesPerUnits
array being out of synch with MS_UNITS enum (#3173)

- Fixed bitmap text font rendering (tiny was not working) (#3475)
