[gdal-dev] GDAL/OGR 1.6.0 Beta 1 Available

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

I have prepared the GDAL/OGR 1.6.0 Beta1 release.  This is the first of
two planned betas, the second is planned for November 12th.  The source is
available at:

   http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-1.6.0beta1.tar.gz
   http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal160beta1.zip

I have also snapped the Python autotest suite.  It can be downloaded from:

   http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdalautotest-1.6.0-beta1.tar.gz
   http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdalautotest-1.6.0-beta1.zip

Instructions on running and interpreting the autotest suite are available
at:

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

Andrey Kiselev will be preparing test matrix document very soon in which
notes can be made about test coverage:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/TestMatrix160

New bugs found should be filed in Trac normally.

GDAL developers and users are encouraged to treat the coming two weeks
as the "prime time" for bug finding and fixing.  Once beta2 starts we will
take a more cautious approach to changes.

Best regards,
--
