[Gdal-dev] Serious GeoTIFF Writing Bug

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

I have found and fixed a serious bug in the GeoTIFF driver.  Applications
that call GDALDataset::SetGeoTransform() would not have the geotransform
properly written back for some time, at least including the GDAL 1.1.8
release.  The bug does not affect "CopyCreate" based translation to GeoTIFF
such as that done by gdal_translate.

I have fixed the bug in CVS.

PS. Hubert, this was hosing the georeferencing of the files output by
gdal_merge.py.


Best regards,
