Re: [Geotools-devel] Upgrade GDAL/imageio-ext dependency?

[Jody G. <jod...@gm...>]

 That is another question based on volunteer time :-) 

>From my standpoint GeoTools 8.x has met its goals (documentation and gt-swing) and we probably should of released prior to this wfs2 work coming in. Given that we missed that window I expect we will need to wait for the wfs2 work to settle.

The uDig project is releasing against the milestone releases presently (indeed that pretty much defines when a milestone release is made). 

Please note the project is open; so if you needed 8.0 released for your work the release procedure is there and you can jump on geotools-devel and follow it to make a release. It is a bit slow the first time as you need to sign up for a few things; but we do welcome volunteers.
