<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I'm ok with that decision on 6.4.<br>
<br>
Let me get a little further before publishing a branch, all drivers need a skeletal filter translation API function added to maintain backwards compatibity. If a driver doesn't support filter translation then it falls to MapServer execute it. That way a driver
could choose to address only high-value cases.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Steve,
<div style="">I'd be more comfortable with a 6.4 release as it stands now, i.e. with a low risk of backwards incompatibility, in order to be sure to push out something stable sooner rather than later. We could aim for a 7.0 with rfc91, utfgrids, harfbuzz and
Daniel's symbology changes after that, as all of those are more involved.</div>
<div style="">Concerning rfc91, can updated drivers live alongside others that haven't yet been modified? Can you publish a branch with the current state?</div>

However it could be prone to more bugs than we might like in a mid-version release. Other than that I’m +1 on targeting early September and +1 on Thomas as the release manager.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
