[mapserver-dev] Next release: 5.6 or 6.0...

[Dan Little]

I think the AGG integration is a nice enough feature to justify a 5.6 release (and maybe a few other of the new features from the "6.0" list).

For completely greedy personal project based reasons I'd live to see a very short-term 5.6 and a long-term 6.0 release before FOSS4G.
