[gdal-dev] 1.7 release date

[Cuinet Jérôme]

Now, I want to use a new enhancement which is not compile by defaut. So I 
have downloaded trunk sources, compiled the files and so I have a local user 
library (which is so in /usr/local/lib directory).

I'm using unstable trunk library ! Yes, I 'm using new enhancement ! I shall 
discover new bugs ! Yes, I should eradicate these !

It may be the open's magic. Elsewhere, I must wait and just ask when such 
feature will be released, and I will have to pay the library...


New early releases might be useless. Be patient.
