Thanks Jeff. https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/7360 was the last feature I had planned for the 8.6 release. I have a few other bug fixes that require tests that I might try and get into the beta.
One item that we discussed at the codesprint was deprecating features, with a view to removing them in a future 9.0 release. Possible suggestions included: - XML Mapfile support (the .xsd is very out-of-date) - SOS support - Some CGI modes - Native KML output - The JS V8 support (no-one has been able to compile this since ~2016) Are you aware of any usage of the above? It was suggested that a survey be sent to the mapserver-users list.
