[Mapserver-dev] ready for 4.2.4

[Fernando S.]

Hi,
    I already finished the new features for maporaclespatial.c. But I 
don't know if I can finish the OracleSpatial/FastCGI until 4.2.4 
release. Only for 4.2.6 version. Any problem?
    I'm writing a MapOracleSpatial guide with the new features, so how 
and where I post this guide?
    I intend to commit in CVS this friday.
    Any hint?
