[gdal-dev] GDAL 2.0 release plans

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

Some time ago, I mentionned my proposal of issuing a first GDAL 2.0 beta 
version for the end of this month (April 30th). Are there objections to 
sticking with that plan ? Does someone need a bit more time to finish an 
ongoing work ?

And if things go well with this beta (and potentially other beta(s) needed), 
we could try a release candidate for end of May. One month of beta phase might 
seem a bit short, but I'm not sure extending the beta testing period more will 
bring significant additional feedback (and things tend to slip, so better aim 
for a tight schedule). Thoughts ?
Anyone using GDAL intensively and/or interesting in 2.0 should already track 
trunk closely ;-)

I can wear the hat of 2.0 release manager, but I'm happy to let it to any 
other volunteer.

Best regards,

Even
