[OpenLayers-Dev] 2.5 status update

[Christopher Schmidt]

2.5 status update:
 * #928 -- Finally reproduced this. Checked in as 'buffer.html' in
   examples: switch to 1-buffer in the layerswitcher, drag map until
   center lat is ~80N. Watch the bottom row of tiles dissappear. There
   was a second issue in that ticket, but it was entirely related to
   ka-Map and nothing else. That one is more complex, more specified,
   and missing a patch. With that in mind, I'm encouraging anyone who
   cares about ka-Map to work on that as a ticket for 2.6.

   I have confirmed that the proposed fix for #928 works... but it
   worries me that we need to do it, and I'm not convinced I understand
   why it is happening. The mintiles stuff feels a bit weird to me, so
   I'm going to see if I can figure out something else that could be the
   underlying problem before putting the patch in.

 * #966 -- Barring any further argument against turning this on by
   default, I'm going to put it in tomorrow

 * #969 -- memory management patch which tim says he'll put together
   tomorrow morning.   

I think that will clear the road for a 2.5 RC: If you have any
*behaviors which have changed/regressed since 2.4*, now is a great
time to report them.
