GSoC New map format
From Spring
GSoC idea: A new map format.
Why
Spring has at the moment two map formats. SM2 which is used mostly but old and requires a lot of storage. SM3 is newer but still isn't perfect and doesn't have brand new technologies included, like most new commercial map formats have.
