MrSID with an update to the imageio-ext library

    * standard paper sizes are now supported when printing!
    * Add rectangles, roundrectangles and ellipse when printing
    * Drag and Drop improvements: drag and drop mixed content in the
catalog and map, move several maps at once, multiple services on
project at once, handle multiple layers in the layer view
