[mapserver-dev] 6.0 release plan

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

RFC-50: I think this is out for 6.0 unless those authors are still around.

RFC-52: The changes I'd like to see are relatively minor (from a coding perspective) and are a return to a single getShape() method in MapScript. It will break 5.6 scripts but is simpler in the long run. I don't know that an RFC is necessary but I will start a ticket and we can go from there.

RFC-54: I think Thomas just needs to merge?

RFC-58 - RFC-63: Are all basically complete, perhaps need docs though.

RFC-64: Needs feedback. This may push us back a week or two depending on feedback. I think 6.0 is the right time to implement though given the types of proposed changes. They are not candidates for minor releases.

Thanks for pushing on this...

Steve

Subject: [mapserver-dev] 6.0 release plan

Hi All,

In search of my memory (and my mails) the recent plan of the 6.0 release has been scheduled as follows:

"Plan for a feature freeze on Nov 15th, with a little over 2 months for betas, aiming for final release between Jan 15th and 31st"

How do we stand with the upcoming activities in the light of this?

I can see the following RFCs may be affected or must be scheduled:

RFC-50 (OpenGL)
RFC-52 (One-pass query processing), we wanted to do some rework as far as I remember.
RFC-54 (Rendering overhaul)
RFC-58 (KML output)
RFC-62 (Additional WFS GetFeature Output Formats)
RFC-63 (OpenLayers viewer)
RFC-64 (Expression parser overhaul)

Do we have any other plan which will be covered with an RFC soon? How much time the pending efforts will take to be implemented?
The 6.0 release plan<http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/60ReleasePlan> document may also updated with some up to date information if possible.


Best regards,

Tamas
