[mapserver-dev] Reminder of upcoming 8.0 release plan dates

[Worth Lutz]

Hi All,

I'm having a time getting MapServer built on RHEL8 due to recent PostGIS 
and GDAL packages in the pgdg repository using different versions of 
Proj. The ones that are consistent all use Proj 8. I can find a PostGIS 
that uses Proj7 but the GDAL package that meets the requirements uses Proj8.

My question is does this upcoming release 7.6.3 allow MapServer to be 
built with Proj 8?  I believe that would solve my dilemma.

Regards,
*Worth Lutz*
