[mapserver-dev] 6.0 release scheduling

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi Devs,

It seems that our 6.0 feature freeze date keeps slipping and I'd like to 
take the lead to get 6.0 back on track.

What do people have to wrap up before a feature freeze? Could we 
realistically aim for a Jan 30 freeze and stick to it this time?

I believe Steve had some work left to do for RFC-65 (and I and Alan are 
willing to help with the implementation).

I and Alan reviewed a few old issues today and we think we could tackle 
at least the following for 6.0:

- Mechanism to hide/show layers in OGC Services:
    http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/HidingLayersInOGCWebServices

- Ticket #3354/3355: Better handling of temporary files

- Quote escaping (I don't know if there is a ticket yet, but this comes 
up every once in a while, and if a mapfile syntax change is required 
then now is the time)

There was also a list of INSPIRE compliance issues that was sent to this 
list a few months ago. I didn't have a chance to review it myself but I 
believe Assefa did. Assefa: could we realistically address some/most of 
these for 6.0?

What else are you currently working on that needs to be addressed for 6.0?

Daniel
