[gdal-announce] GDAL/OGR 1.8.0RC2 Release Candidate Prepared

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

Some problems were discovered with the Python bindings in the RC
being out of date, and the generated perl bindings being complete
missing.  I have prepared a new release candidate for GDAL/OGR 1.8.0.
The source, testsuite and documentation can be found at:

   http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-1.8.0RC2.tar.gz
   http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal180RC2.zip
   http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal180doc.zip
   http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdalautotest-1.8.0.tar.gz

I would appreciate broad testing of the release candidate and reporting
problems via Trac tickets:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/

If things seem respectable I will introduce a motion to promote this
release candidate as a final 1.8.0 release in the next day or two.

Best regards,
--
