[gdal-dev] GDAL 1.5+ and MrSID

[Howard Butler]

Actually, I misspoke about no JP2 in 7.0.  It's there, but it changed  
quite significantly and GDAL maybe hasn't been updated to use it quite  
yet.

I think the plan is for 1.6 to be released sometime this fall, but we  
haven't started the planning process for 1.6 yet.  Frank could comment  
on what his expectations are for 1.6...
