<BR>
Hi folks: MapServer 5.2 Beta 1 has just been released. The source package is available for download at:<BR>
<BR>
<A HREF="http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/beta">http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/beta</A><BR>
<BR>
The list of changes/fixes since 5.0 can be found at the end this message. This is a significant release so<BR>
we need your help in testing. 5.2 should compatible with any 5.0 applications/mapfiles so it should be<BR>
relatively easy for folks to test. Please let us know how it goes!<BR>
<BR>
The plan is to have 2 beta releases, two release candidates with a final release the first week in July.<BR>
