[mapguide-users] An important notice about MapGuide Open Source 3.2

[Jackie Ng]

Hi All,

If we refer to the past for any indication, now is generally the time of
the year where I'd normally start preparations for the next major release
of MapGuide Open Source. The version this time round would have been 3.2.

Considering the extremely small set of changes since 3.1 and no upgrades to
thirdparty libraries we use or MSVC compiler changes, I have come to the
decision that I will be skipping over plans to make a 3.2 release. Instead
I am going to prioritize continued maintenance releases of 2.6, 3.0 and
3.1. Any post-3.1 changes can simply be back-ported.

Skipping over 3.2 will also give us a good year-long window for development
of new features (something I haven't had time as of late with various
side-projects monopolizing my time), so instead of spending time/resources
preparing and maintaining a 3.2 release, that time/resources could be spent
converting my various incomplete sandboxed ideas into fully-realized
features for the next version after 3.2.

Thoughts?
