[MAPSERVER-USERS] MapServer 5.2 Beta 1 Available

Tue Jun 17 11:45:15 EDT 2008

I doubt it though I guess it would really help us get things tested
given the popularity of
the Windows distribution. There's another beta due out shortly so
perhaps for that one.

As a reminder, we are interested in ANY feedback if you've tried the
beta. A thumbs up
helps us too!
