| | 25 | * The 1.4.3 release included ABI (application binary interface) breakage and had to be retracted. Better review and testing mechanisms are needed to avoid breaking our ABI stability guarantees. |
| | 26 | * While substantial progress was made over the year, the project still struggles with many old bug reports that have not been addressed. |
| | 27 | * Additional outreach to projects and products using GDAL is required to ensure their needs are being met. |
| | 28 | * Improve our provision of "standard binaries" for at least Win32, Linux and MacOS X. The OSGeo4W effort may be helpful in this regard for Win32. |
| | 29 | * Broaden the coverage of the test suite (more formats, more special cases) |
