[postgis-devel] Call for 1.5.2 release

[Paul Ramsey]

Yeah, the GUI is problematic, as the changes are very substantial, and
will need lots of testing. I just now tried to build and run on OS/X
and got

shp2pgsql-gui(77973) malloc: *** error for object 0x100e0e960: pointer
being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

Not sure if folks have done a build and test on Win32 yet. For 1.5.2
it would be nicer to keep the current GUI, no?

P.

(Of course, I have a reason to not want to change things, having just
finished a couple workshops full of screenshots of the *old* GUI.)
