[gdal-dev] GDAL 1.6.1 RC1 Released

[Howard Butler]

All,

The GDAL team is pleased to announce the release of GDAL 1.6.1 RC1.   
According to the roadmap, exactly 100 bugs have been addressed in this  
release.   Because this is our first maintenance release in the 1.6  
series, and the list is quite large, I am not posting the list of bugs  
fixed in this email.  Navigate to <http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/Release/1.6.1-News 
 > to see if your pet burr has been excised.

Please test thoroughly, as I am a new release manager, this is my  
first GDAL release, and I may have missed something as part of the  
release process.  If no significant issues are identified, a PSC vote  
will be called for to promote this RC to final on Wednesday or  
Thursday next week.
