[MapServer-dev] branch-8-2 notes for devs

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi all,

Some quick updates:

- as you have keenly noticed, a first beta went out a few days ago 
quietly, and a few important changes were made since (thanks Bas!)
- therefore a public beta2 was released today
   - direct link: 
https://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/mapserver-8.2.0-beta2.tar.gz
- branch-8-2 has been created, and we can use the "backport branch-8-2" 
label accordingly for pull requests into that branch
- still tracking the release with the handy release page (with dates 
also etc) at 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/MapServer-8.2-Release-Plan
- regarding the next 8.4.0 release, tracking that plan through: 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/MapServer-8.4-Release-Plan
   - if you have features in mind please add them there

Thanks again all, and have a nice weekend,

-jeff
