[mapserver-users] Does Mapserver WCS 2.0.1 support time as a dimension?

Hi,

I can use tileindex with time succesfully with WMS but not with WCS. I have added metadata item "wcs_timeitem" both into my tileindex layer and the raster layer and my assumption is that DescribeCoverage should now include time as a dimension of the coverage but unfortunately that is not the case. I see still just this in DescribeCoverage

<gml:Envelope srsName="http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/3067" axisLabels="x y" uomLabels="m m" srsDimension="2">

I would like to see it this way
<gml:EnvelopeWithTimePeriod srsName="http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/3067" axisLabels="E N time" uomLabels="m m s" srsDimension="2">

so I could make a GetCoverage request with time subset
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=ms_orthophoto_wcs.map&service=WCS&version=2.0.1&request=GetCoverage&coverageID=all_orthophotos&SUBSET=x(496000,496200)&SUBSET=y(7181000,7181200)&SUBSET=time("2005-01-01","2017-12-31")&format=image/tiff&geotiff:tiling=true

The result I get is an error "WCS server error. Time values for subsets are not supported".

By reading the documentation https://mapserver.org/ogc/wcs_server.html it is unclear to me if WCS 2.0.1 subsetting with time dimension has ever been implemented. Does anybody know?
