[gdal-dev] 1.9 Release Process

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

I would like to have a GDAL/OGR 1.9 release by the end of this year,
ideally before Christmas.  We have not formalized a release process
for the project, but I'd like to follow the approach of past years.
This basically consists of a few beta releases, followed by a release
candidate when things seem to be in good shape.  The release candidates
would be voted on by the PSC before becoming official.

Anyone with significant work they would like to accomplish before 1.9.0
should reply to this thread with information on the planned work.

Barring objections, I'll plan on a Beta 1 this weekend.

Best regards,
--
