I've released version 1.37 of GeographicLib.  See

   http://geographiclib.sf.net/html/changes.html

A couple of items might be of interest to the readers of this list.

(1) Classes and a utility for computing rhumb lines.  For details, see

   http://geographiclib.sf.net/html/rhumb.html

(2) Support for high precision arithmetic.  A compilation option is
provided to allow linking against Boost (for quad precision) or MPFR
(for arbitrary precision).  Thanks to C++'s operator overloading this
entailed minimal changes to the code itself.  For details, see

   http://geographiclib.sf.net/html/highprec.html
