[mapserver-users] MapServer Release Schedule

[Frank Koormann]

Dear all,

aside all the discussions about new forums I want to raise another
point: MapServer release schedule and code stabilisation. 

With the release of version 3.5 a monthly schedule was announced to 
provide packages with ongoing bugfixes. As of today the 3.5 tarball 
is still from 18th December 2001. The nighly builds and the CVS content 
differ significantly from this version. Many files have been undergone
substantial changes and seem to implement new features. So they again 
provide a development branch. 

I know that coding new features is always more fun than merging bug
fixes into stable releases. Therefore I am asking for a commit list for
the CVS: Distributing "commit messages" from the CVS system would give 
interested users the ability to follow the ongoing development of
mapserver and the chance to track bugfixes to insert them into running
systems.

I would be glad to read others opinions.

Kind regards,

        Frank Koormann
