[gdal-dev] GDAL 2.0 release plans

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

I wanted to have an update from other developers to know where there are with 
respect to their planned schedule.
I had noted that :
- Dmitriy wanted to integrate his work on metadata support for various 
satellite imagery. I have reviewed a preliminary version of it.
- Ari has ongoing work on Perl. I've seen a few commits passed.
- Pirmin intended to add curve support in Interlis. Haven't seen yet any 
commit.

Are you still in track to finalize those works in the following days ? Would 
adding the week-end help to have that in Beta1 ? I especially think to 
Dmitriy's work who is quite substantial, and perhaps Perl changes if there are 
still breaking change to come. Interlis specfic changes might arrive after 
Beta1 I think.
