[mapserver-dev] Heads-up: 8.0 version branched

[Jeff McKenna]

I've been working on website updates for a few weeks now, so today, the 
beta2 will be announced (along with the website updates) as had cut the 
beta2 release earlier this week, putting us on schedule for RC1 a week 
from today.

Watch your inbox today for the good news ;)
