[Mapserver-dev] 4.4 release plan

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi,

I would like to start discussing a plan for the 4.4 release. I think the 
development version (4.3) is in good shape and already contains a bunch 
of improvements over 4.2 and I think we are approaching a point where we 
could release it, once the current developments are completed of course.

The current developments that I am aware of, and that would need to be 
wrapped up for 4.4 are:

- WCS (Steve - is this done?)

- WMS time support (Assefa, still 1-2 weeks to go)

- FastCGI (Frank - any idea on when you'd be done? Should this wait for 
4.6 to avoid delaying 4.4?)

- MapScript (Sean - Is there anything underway that's needed for 4.4?)

- Of course we should walk through the bug list and cleanup any major issue

Did I forget anything?

Could we realistically target a feature freeze and a first beta around 
mid-October, with a few beta releases in the following weeks and a final 
release early November? If we aim for early November for final release, 
then we may actually be able to release by the end of the year given the 
way things usually go.

Any thoughts?

Daniel
