Hi folks: MapServer 5.2 Beta 1 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!

The plan is to have 2 beta releases, two release candidates with a final
release the first week in July. 
More details can be found in the 5.2 release plan at:

plan/

  msSOSDispatch() handling

  only (#2408)

- mapogcsos.c: change substituted variable from sensorid to procedure (#2409)

- maplibxml2.c: Initial implementation of libxml2 convenience functions

- configure: Modified so libxml2 support is requested for WCS and SOS,
  and is indicated by USE_LIBXML2 definition.  Use @ALL_ENABLED@ in
  DEFINEs and mapscriptvars generation.

- mapresample.c: Fixed support for multi-band data in RAW mode for bilinear
  and nearest neighbour resamplers (#2364).

- mapdraw.c: Improve error reporting if a raster layer requested in
  a query map (#1842).
