[gdal-dev] GDAL 1.6.1 RC2 Released

[William Kyngesburye]

Just got done testing RC1... Autotests all OK on OSX except for a new  
failure:

   TEST: tiff_ovr_10: tiff_ovr_10_interverted ... ERROR 1:  
TIFFFetchDirectory:tmp/ovr10.tif: Can not read TIFF directory count
ERROR 1: TIFFReadDirectory:Failed to read directory at offset 1276248064
fail
     Failed to open copy of test dataset.


Also, I noticed that gdalbuildvrt was added to the default build  
(#2987).  No complaints, but I thought it was going to wait for 1.7  
release.  Is there going to be a new doc package with a help file for  
this?

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly  
what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly  
disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely  
inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has  
already happened.
