<PRE>
Folks,
I am pleased to announce the release of PROJ 4.8.0. This is a
major new feature release and collects all the work done since
the PROJ 4.7.0 release in September 2009. The NEWS file includes
these major items:
* Added the Natural Earth projection.
* Added HEALPIX, rHEALPIX and Icosahedral Snyder Equal Area projections.
* nad2bin now produces "CTable2" format grid shift files by default which
are platform independent.
* nad2nad removed, use cs2cs for datum shift operations.
* projects.h no longer installed as a public include file. Please try to
only use proj_api.h.
* Add pj_get_spheroid_defn() accessor.
* Added an alternate version of pj_init() that takes a projCtx (execution
context) structure to address multithreading issues with error management
and to provide a support for application hookable error reporting and
logging.
* Upgrade to EPSG 7.9. Some changes in ideal datum selection.
* JNI bindings reworked, org.proj4.Projections deprecated in favor of
org.proj4.PJ.
* Added preliminary vertical datum support.
* Fix various multithreading issues, particular in datum grid handling code.
* <B>Added support for the +axis= option for alternate axis orientations as</B>
<B> part of a coordinate system (used for TM South Orientated support).</B>
* +proj=omerc implementatioin replaced with code from libproj4. +rot_conv
flag no longer works, and some coordinate systems (ie. Malaysian) will
need to use +gamma instead. "epsg" init file updated accordingly.
