The import cartography blog indicates MapServer 4.8.1 has been released. Honestly, the changelog list is so huge I can't tell you what important features have been added. There's no roadmap on the site either (or I haven't found it).

Dave Bouwman not only discuss MapServer, but the installation process of OpenLayers and a WMS server. From the blog: "Again, this is not the least bit earth shattering, and it's a loooong way from a production application or an in-depth understanding, but the total time investment thus far (including this write up) has been a little over one hour. Thus, I think it's safe to say that the basic learning curve here is now in the realm of reasonable. Will your manager set this up? No. But this is no more complex (and may be simpler) than setting up ArcIMS or ArcGIS Server."

I know of various pieces I could cobble together (MapServer, OpenLayers, phpMyAdmin), but am looking for something that'll work seamlessly and be more user friendly.
