[mapserver-dev] MapServer 8.0 Beta Release?

[Seth G]

Hi all,

I've been working with a build from main on dev servers for a couple of weeks now, on several large Mapfiles/systems without issues. The corrupt zip output was fixed by Tamas with a patch to `libfcgi` (so not directly MapServer related in the end). 

Steve, for updating Mapfiles I've been using https://mappyfile.geographika.net/ - which is set now by default to validate against the MapServer 8.0 schema. 

So +1 from me in moving to beta releases. 

Seth
