[mapserver-dev] MapServer 5.2 Beta 4 Available

[Steve Lime]

Hi folks: MapServer 5.2 Beta 4 has just been released. The source package is available for download at:

  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/beta

The list of changes/fixes since 5.0 can be found at the end this message. This is a significant release so
we need your help in testing. 5.2 should compatible with any 5.0 applications/mapfiles so it should be
relatively easy for folks to test. Please let us know how it goes!

This is the 4th, and last, beta release (we hope) and if all goes well there will be a release candidate next week and the final release the week after. I promise not to apply any more lightly tested patches...

More details can be found in the 5.2 release plan at:
