[gdal-dev] GDAL 1.11 release plan

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

GDAL 1.10 was released about one year ago, so it is time to think about the next
release. I think we should just call it 1.11 given that there are no major
architectural changes (although there have been non trivial changes in RAT
management and for multiple geometry field support, but that only impacts core &
drivers), and the C API and ABI is still preserved (for those who have looked at
the other thread, my experiments on unification are *not* in trunk). For the
details, I have initiated the preliminary NEWS :
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/export/27091/trunk/gdal/NEWS (*)
There are some mentions to 2.0 in the documentation of new features, but I'll
end up fixing them to reflect the 1.11 numbering.

I think we are in a good shape to start the beta phase soon. If people have
features or bug fixes almost ready that they'd like to be in 1.11, please speak
up now. Otherwise I suggest issuing a beta-1 at the end of next week, give it a
week for testing, and depending on the outcome, issue a beta-2, or just try
RC-1. Unless someone volunteers (the process is fairly well documented in
HOWTO-RELEASE), I can be release manager for 1.11.

Any opinion about that plan ?

Best regards,

Even
