Hi,

I intend to cut a 2.1.0 beta1 release on March 31st, which will be the feature 
freeze and start point of the 2.1 branch.

For everybody information, are there major pieces of work (other than the 
above mentionned one) that are expected to land in trunk during this month ?

Regarding M support, the following drivers have been updated : Shapefile, 
PostGIS, MEM, FileGDB, OpenFileGDB, CSV, VRT, GeoPackage, SQLite/Spatialite. 
(Personal Geodatabase should probably work too, but untested). As well as 
ogrinfo / ogr2ogr. Earlier testers appreciated.
