[mapserver-users] updated 8.0 release plan

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi all!

The MapServer project steering committee met yesterday online, to mainly 
discuss the upcoming 8.0 release.  Here is a summary of the updated plans:

8.0 plan:

  * Feature freeze: Fri. September 17, 2021
  * 8.0-beta: Fri. September 24, 2021
  * 8.0-rc1: Fri. October 1, 2021
  * 8.0 (final): Fri. October 8, 2021

Of course the wiki has a detailed list of the major items for 8.0 : 
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/MapServer-8.0-Release-Plan

Or you can also follow the exact tickets through the 8.0 milestone on 
GitHub: https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/milestone/54

Please join in and help with the 8.0 release by however you can 
(testing, feedback/ideas, coding, documentation).  If you notice a 
ticket that you want included please give it a polite 'nudge' or 'bump' 
on GitHub, we want to hear from you, your feedback is important.  And 
remember to always include a short test case (data, mapfile, 
commands.txt) for your ticket report - this saves everyone time & 
energy.  Thanks!
