[MapServer-dev] MapServer 8.2 Release Plan

[thomas bonfort]

I had a look at the skia PR. Even apart from the fact that it is 50 to 80%
slower than agg, I'd say there's less than 5% on the features ready for it
to be feature-equal with today's agg and cairo backend (basically only flat
polygons and simple lines are implemented, all the rest (labelling,
symbology etc) is not touched. Not waiting on it for 8.2 is a no-brainer.

TB
