</div><div><div> shift and init files can be hooked.</div><div><br></div><div> o Replace geodesic implementation with one from Charles Karney and add a </div><div> supported public interface (geod_interface.h).</div><div>
<br></div><div> o Upgraded to EPSG 8.0.</div><div><br></div><div> o Removed old (deprecated) Java bindings in favor of the new api introduced</div><div> in 4.8.0.</div><div><br></div><div> o Various bug fixes and cleanup.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There is still time to fix additional problems before a final release</div><div>though as usual it is helpful to supply patches in the tickets. </div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div>-- <br>---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------<br>
