[UMN_MAPSERVER-DEV] MapServer 5.0.0-rc2 released

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi everyone,

A few issues have been found and fixed in MapServer 5.0.0-rc1 from last 
week so we are releasing MapServer 5.0.0-rc2 now. The source package is 
available at:

   http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/beta

The page above also contains links to binary distributions. They should 
  be updated with binaries for this beta in the next few days. The MS4W 
(Windows) binaries should be updated to this version today as well.

If no critical issue is found in this release candidate, then we will 
officially release MapServer 5.0.0 next week. Thanks a lot to all those 
  who have tested previous betas/rc and have reported their results, 
either via the list or directly in Trac (bug tracker). That helps a 
lot... please keep testing and sending feedback.

The complete list of changes/fixes since rc1 is included at the bottom 
of this email.

More details about the MapServer 5.0 release can be found in the 5.0 
release plan at
