[gdal-dev] ogr vfk and write access - Updates on 1.7.0 release plan

[Even Rouault]

Martin,

we are obviously late on the initial schedule... We aim at issuing 
1.7.0-beta2 very soon, but as it is not issued yet, it still gives you 
the opportunity to commit the driver if you're confident enough it won't 
cause too much build problems. If so, please commit the code very soon. 
Otherwise the next timeframe will likely be after the creation of the 
1.7 maintenance branch, which would occur in, well, 2 weeks ?, after we 
have issued the release candidates. At that point, trunk will then be 
considered as 1.8dev and proper again for adding new features. (For the 
period after beta2 and before 1.7 maintenance branch creation, I think 
the policy is "feature freeze - fix only"). The 1.7.0 version should be 
officialy released before end of January if everything goes well.

Best regards,

Even
