Some of the presentations will deal with Geopaparazzi (open source GIS for Android), Geostatistics or how to learn to use gvSIG in 30 minutes among others. The webinar platform allows to connect to the webinars from any operating system, and in case you can't see some of the webinars, you will be able to watch them at the gvSIG Youtube channel later [2]. Registration for each webinar can be done from the gvSIG Festival website, at the program web page [3]. See you at the gvSIG Festival!

GDAL/OGR is a C++ geospatial data access library for raster and vector file formats, databases and web services. It includes bindings for several languages, and a variety of command line tools. http://www.gdal.org/ The 2.2.0 release is a major new feature release with the following highlights: * New GDAL/raster drivers: - DERIVED driver: read-support. Expose subdatasets in a a new metadata domain, called DERIVED_SUBDATASETS - JP2Lura driver: read/create support for JPEG-2000 images using Luratech JP2 Library - PRF: add read-only support for PHOTOMOD PRF file format driver (github #173) - RRASTER driver: read-support .grd/.gri files handled by the R 'raster' package (#6249) * New OGR/vector drivers: - CAD driver: read support for DWG R2000 files (GSoC 2016 project) - DGNv8 driver: read-write support for DGN 8.0 format (using Teigha ODA libraries) - GMLAS driver: read-write support. XML/GML driver driven by Application Schemas. * New utility script: ogrmerge.py to merge several vector datasets into a single one * New /vsigs/ and /vsigs_streaming/ virtual file systems to read Google Cloud Storage non-public files * Significantly improved drivers: - NWT_GRD: write support (#6533) - FileGDB/OpenFileGDB: add support to read curve geometries (#5890) - VRT derived band: add the capability to define pixel functions in Python - Add read support for RasterLite2 coverages in SQLite driver - GPKG: implement tiled gridded elevation data extension - ISIS3: add write support and improve read support * RFC 63: Add GDALRasterBand::GetDataCoverageStatus() and implement it in GTiff and VRT drivers https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc63_sparse_datasets_improvements * RFC 64: Triangle, Polyhedral surface and TIN https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc64_triangle_polyhedralsurface_tin ==> this RFC introduces potential backward incompatible behaviour. Consult MIGRATION_GUIDE.txt * RFC 66: OGR random layer read/write capabilities https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc66_randomlayerreadwrite * RFC 67: add null field state for OGR features, in addition to unset fields https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc67_nullfieldvalues ==> this RFC introduces potential backward incompatible behaviour. Consult MIGRATION_GUIDE.txt * Upgrade to EPSG database v9.0 (#6772) * Python bindings: Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) released before entering GDAL native code (for all, in GDAL module and a few ones in ogr like ogr.Open()) * Continued major efforts on sanitization of code base * Remove bridge and vb6 bindings (#6640) * GNM built by default More complete information on the new features and fixes in the 2.2.0 release can be found at: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/Release/2.2.0-News The release can be downloaded from: * http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.2.0/gdal220.zip - source as a zip * http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.2.0/gdal-2.2.0.tar.gz - source as .tar.gz * http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.2.0/gdal-2.2.0.tar.xz - source as .tar.xz * http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.2.0/gdal-grass-2.2.0.tar.gz - GDAL-GRASS plugin * http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.2.0/gdalautotest-2.2.0.tar.gz - test suite * http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.2.0/gdal220doc.zip - documentation / website The migration guide can be found at : https://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/branches/2.2/gdal/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT Best regards, Even -- Spatialys - Geospatial professional services http://www.spatialys.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
