[mapserver-users] MapServer 5.2 Release Candidate 1 Available

[Steve Lime]

Hi folks: MapServer 5.2 RC 1 has just been released. The source package is available for download at:

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

The list of changes/fixes since 5.0 can be found at the end this message. This is a significant release so
we need your help in testing. 5.2 should compatible with any 5.0 applications/mapfiles so it should be
relatively easy for folks to test. Please let us know how it goes!

This is the 1st, and perhaps only, release candidate (we hope) and if all goes well the final release will be next week.

More details can be found in the 5.2 release plan at:
