Hi Seth, yes I'm clearing a few blockers that came up, I apologize for 
the delay. I keep the milestone dates updated (you can always follow at 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/milestones <https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/milestones> ). I will try to get 
a beta out today.


thanks again,
