The MapServer Team is pleased to announce the release of MapServer
6.0.0-beta4. This is the latest beta on our way to a final 6.0 release.
Once again this beta contains several important fixes and we encourage
you to test it and continue to provide feedback.
The 6.0 release introduces important changes in key components of the
MapServer core (rendering, query and expressions), and for this reason
we count on you, MapServer power users, to help test the release in your
respective environments and provide feedback (through the users list or
Trac tickets).
If all goes well, the plan is to have a final 6.0 release around the end
of April. The full release plan which also includes the list of new
features and changes in this release is available at:
http://mapserver.org/trunk/development/release/release-plan-6.0.html
The list of fixes since beta1 is attached at the end of this message.
For a complete list see the HISTORY.TXT file at:

We have started working on a 5.6 -> 6.0 migration guide. This document
contains important notes on backwards incompatibilities or other changes
required when upgrading to 6.0. It is not complete yet but we strongly
recommend that you review the latest version online at:
http://mapserver.org/trunk/MIGRATION_GUIDE.html
The source for this release can be downloaded at:

or

The binary distributions listed in the download page should be updated
with binaries for the new beta release in the next day or so.
Once again we need your help to ensure a high quality product, so please
help out by testing your applications with this new code base.
Thanks! - The MapServer Team
