[Gdal-dev] gdal with ecwsdk 3.2

[Tom Lynch]

Hi Ken, Bill and others with an interest in the ECW JPEG 2000 SDK:

Just to let you know a little in advance of time, a new wrap of the
ECW JPEG 2000 SDK source distribution is currently scheduled to be out
some time during the coming week, pending the progress of QA, doco
updates and tweaking.

The current "what's new" for this distro includes "configure/make
install" build support via GNU autotools on supported platforms
(thanks to Frank for getting the ball rolling on that), a fix to the
ECW decoding bug on big-endian platforms, and fixes to some snarky
pthread bugs on Linux (some of which came from Frank and Bill), as
well as improved documentation and sample code.

There will also be further relaxation of the remaining restrictions in
the "Public Use" License agreement to bring it more into line with the
GPL, which will be clarified when the release occurs.

For various reasons the new distribution will be referred to as v3.3 RC1.  

Stay tuned :-)

cheers

Tom.
