Hi,
I wanted to have an update from other developers to know where there are with
respect to their planned schedule.
I had noted that :
- Dmitriy wanted to integrate his work on metadata support for various
satellite imagery. I have reviewed a preliminary version of it.
- Ari has ongoing work on Perl. I've seen a few commits passed.
- Pirmin intended to add curve support in Interlis. Haven't seen yet any
commit.
Are you still in track to finalize those works in the following days ? Would
adding the week-end help to have that in Beta1 ? I especially think to
Dmitriy's work who is quite substantial, and perhaps Perl changes if there are
still breaking change to come. Interlis specfic changes might arrive after
Beta1 I think.
There is *a lot* for me still to go through (mainly with writing tests
and thus seeing if the interface is ok). But maybe the only big breaking
change thing to do would be to harmonize the constructors.
Swig adds the standard Perl "new" but I've marked that in many cases
deprecated since I want to use for example human readable strings and
not integer constants (for example "Point" instead of
$Geo::OGR::wkbPoint). This has led to a set of "create" constructors. In
version 2 all the constructors should/could be called "new". Now I know
how this can be done using a "shadow" feature of Swig.
I can do that today and then I'd be ok for 2.0 beta.

Hi,
Some time ago, I mentionned my proposal of issuing a first GDAL 2.0 beta
version for the end of this month (April 30th). Are there objections to
sticking with that plan ? Does someone need a bit more time to finish an
ongoing work ?
And if things go well with this beta (and potentially other beta(s)
needed), we could try a release candidate for end of May. One month of
beta phase might seem a bit short, but I'm not sure extending the beta
testing period more will bring significant additional feedback (and things
tend to slip, so better aim for a tight schedule). Thoughts ?
Anyone using GDAL intensively and/or interesting in 2.0 should already
track trunk closely ;-)
I can wear the hat of 2.0 release manager, but I'm happy to let it to any
other volunteer.
Best regards,
Even
