Changes (by crschmidt):

  * milestone:  2.6 Release => 2.7 Release

Comment:

 In talking with Tim about this, we decided that it's probably best to not
 put this into 2.6. The reason is that the measurements are not really
 accurate: a 'real' measurement would:
  * Check if reprojection is possible back to degrees (using proj4js or
 internal projections)
  * If so, reproject points to degrees
  * Use dist/area Vincenty formulas to do the math instead of just doing
 linear measurement.

 This is too much work to be done before 2.6, but we look forward to
 working on it after 2.6 is branched.
