Hi,

I'm wondering if we shouldn't release GDAL trunk as GDAL 1.10 instead of GDAL
2.0.

As far as I know, there haven't been yet any change in GDAL trunk that
qualifies as a major re-architecturing, or that breaks the C API & ABI of the
GDAL 1.X series.

RFC 39 (the layer algebra) does break the C ABI, I believe.

  I'm not sure if or when someone will want to tackle one of
the items listed in http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/GDAL20Changes , but this
would likely defer a release by months, especially if we want a GDAL 2.0 with
a number of significant changes.

How about making the changes to the API but not implement them...?

Ari

  And sticking with our traditional yearly
release rythm seems to me like a good practice. Current trunk has nothing
revolutionary, but a nice amount of new drivers and fixes/improvements that are
worth a release.

Thoughts ?

Regards,

Even
