[MapServer-dev] MapServer 8.2 Release Plan

[Jeff McKenna]

I think the major remaining issue for 8.2 is 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/issues/6907 "Queries that find no 
results not returning and error message"

  (see Milestone for all issues: 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/milestone/60 )
