As some of you may recall, nearly two years ago I landed in MapGuide support for OpenLayers 3.
However, this support was partial as it only targets un-tiled Map Definitions. None of the tiling mechanisms in OpenLayers 3 were compatible with the tiling scheme used by MapGuide meaning OpenLayers 3 cannot consume non-XYZ tiles from MapGuide ...
... Or so I thought.
It turns out that it is indeed possible to consume non-XYZ tiles from MapGuide, here's one such example using the just released v3.6.0 of OpenLayers.
What this means is that OpenLayers 3 is at feature parity with OpenLayers 2 in terms of MapGuide support, meaning it has the core functionality we need to build a MapGuide client mapping application out of.
Many thanks to Andreas Hocevar of Boundless for the code sample.
