[mapserver-dev] 7.4 Release...

[Seth G]

Hi Steve,

+1 on 7.4 release and deprecating older versions of PROJ with a move to 8 of MapServer. 
I have one feature I'm working on that will hopefully get included in a 7.4 release - https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/pull/5765
I'll tidy up and request a review before Friday if that is ok?
One thing to consider for release dates/plans is to sync with OSGeoLive (which in turn is in sync with FOSS4G).
Their release plan is at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kO6zzmLFfprZGgp5x7Sjwi-EVN6NTGDR4KXvFVtNpR0/edit?hl=en_GB&hl=en_GB#gid=0
