Hi everyone,
MapServer 5.0.0-rc1 has just been released. Yes, that's a release
candidate, and hopefully the right one! 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.
If no critical issue is found in this release candidate, then we will
officially release MapServer 5.0.0 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 beta6 is included at the bottom
of this email.
As was mentioned before, our plan was 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
