[Daniel Morissette]

MapServer 5.6.0-beta3 has just been released and is available for 
download at

   http://mapserver.org/download.html OR
   http://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/mapserver-5.6.0-beta3.tar.gz

Please also keep an eye on the 5.4 to 5.6 Migration Guide where we will 
document migration issues for this release:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/browser/trunk/mapserver/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT

Some great progress has been made since beta2 as you can tell from the 
list of fixes included at the end of this message, but there are a 
couple of tricky issues that are still being worked on, so we will have 
at least one other beta next week before we can have a release candidate.

Once again, we need your help to ensure a high quality product so please 
help out by testing your applications with this new beta and reporting 
your results.

Thanks for your help

The MapServer development team.
