Steve,

There are two recent bugs:
  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1613
  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1618

I am wondering if we should push to fix them for 4.8 (in
which case they ought to be fixed before RC3) or just leave
them for 4.8.1.

The WKT issues relate to fairly esoteric geometry types (in
my mind), though they need to be fixed at some point.   The
"imagemap" bug seems like it could affect alot of other things
too if we are not ever using vsnprintf().  For instance handling
of long error messages.   To me this is worth delaying the
release (and RC3) for.

Best regards,

--
