That's quite some feature list Frank :)
Given that FDO 3.4.x hasn't gone to beta or RC yet, I'd love to see the GDAL Raster provider and maybe the OGR provider move to using GDAL 1.6 for this release. The Oracle GeoRaster support from 1.6, along with SDE raster and BigTIFF support from 1.5, and the ability to read JP2K using the latest MrSID driver (I think) are reason enough, but the list of bug fixes is pretty decent too. There have been over 500 fixed tickets since the version we're using (1.4.3): http://tinyurl.com/67te3k Thoughts?

I am in favor if someone has time to update the FDO SVN.

OK. I thought about it and the benefits of this release seem hard to ignore. Since a beta of 3.4.0 may be imminent, let me give the update a try and see how far I get.
