Hi everyone,
MapServer 5.0.0-beta6 has just been released. The source package is
available at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/beta
The page above also contains links to binary distributions. They should
be updated with binaries for this beta in the next few days.
I think we're on schedule to have a release candidate next week. Thanks
a lot to all those who have tested previous betas and have reported
their results, either via the list or directly in Trac (bug tracker).
That helps a lot... please keep testing and sending feedback.
The complete list of changes/fixes since beta5 is included at the bottom
of this email.
As was mentioned before, we plan to have one beta per week until the
final release of MapServer 5.0 which is planned for the week of
September 12, 2007. More details can be found in the 5.0 release plan at
