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

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi all,

Some may have noticed that a beta1 was quietly made available last week, 
but no official announcement: this was no coincidence.  The (great) fast 
feedback received from those watching this space closely (Bas, etc.) was 
priceless, so I felt it was best to work through those issues before the 
announcement.

Long story short: beta2 is planned for this coming Friday, with a more 
official announcement etc.  So please if you are working on a pull 
request now, try to get your changes in before then (with appropriate 
msautotests).

Thanks!
