[gdal-dev] Requesting gdal update to at least EPSG v8.6

[Mary Jo Brodzik]

Hello,

I would like to request that gdal be updated to use the latest EPSG codes.

I worked with EPSG last year to correct some obsolete ProjectedCRS 
definitions for some products I am developing, and I understand that the 
corrected definitions were included in EPSG v8.6, released in Nov 2014.

I am unsure how to actually confirm the EPSG version included with gdal, 
but I did find this trac ticket (http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5462) 
that looks like you upgraded to epsg v8.4 in May 2014.

The EPSG web site at www.epsg-registry.org seems to indicate the latest 
version may be 8.7.  I don't know what is new.  For my purposes and to let 
my users know, v8.6 or better is what I need.

Thank you,
Mary Jo Brodzik
