The dump keyword was used to determine what layers was queryable or could be displayed in a few OGC requests. With the implementation of the RFC 67, we don't need it anymore.

Fixed and committed in 21a1edc (r11544). The mapfile keyword still exists. Reopen the ticket if we decide to remove the mapfile keyword also.

Reopening: this change needs to be mentioned in the 6.0 migration guide and all relevant docs need to be updated (all docs that used to refer to DUMP keyword)

The 6.0 and trunk documentation has been updated in MapServer/MapServer-documentation@4fe6fcb (r12604).

I have added deprecation notes in the layer and mapscript documents. In the rest of the documents I have removed
DUMP true
from the examples. I guess that for the examples to make sense, some metadata has to be added. I have included some, but please check and file bugs where more is needed.

Added some more enable_request metadata in MapServer/MapServer-documentation@655e3a0 (r12605).

I forgot the migration guide. I don't think I can edit the migration guide, so perhaps Daniel can do that?

Since I don't think I can edit the migration guide, I reassign this one to Daniel.

@havatv would you be willing to update the migration guide if you had commit rights ?

[havatv]

@tbonfort, I have not yet had the time to get used to working with git. I still feel quite unsure when I sporadically work with git on the documentation, and I would not be comfortable with having the possibility to cause damage to the Mapserver code due to lack of git competence. I will need to allocate some time for familiarising myself with git before I can continue to contribute to Mapserver documentation the way I used to do when we were on svn/trac.

pushed to 6-0 (3ef03d9) and master (0d0a240)

DUMP is not just deprecated, it is completely unused. This should be made clear in the docs, and the layerObj->dump property should be removed from the code.
