[gdal-dev] GDAL/OGR 2.0.0 RC2 Available for Review

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

Due to a regression that could cause compressed GeoTIFF created by GDAL to be 
almost twice as large as their optimal size in some circumstances (see 
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5999), I have prepared a RC2.

The list of fixes in the 2.0 branch since RC1:
  * Java GNUmakefile: add -f in rm commands (#5997)
  * Doc: Add a brief summary to the GDAL and OGR utilities pages (#5996)
  * Various typo fixes in doc and code (#5995)
  * GTiff/block cache: fix creation of pixel interleaved multiband files (2.0 
regression, #5999)
  * VRT: add handling of a shared='0' attribute on <SourceFilename> to open 
sources in non-shared mode, and VRT_SHARED_SOURCE config option that can be set 
to 0 in case the shared attribute isn't there (#5992)
  * Ili: Fix crash with models using types derived from INTERLIS
  * gdal_grid: fix crash in optimized mode with GCC 4.4 on 64bit (#5987)
  * GDALSuggestedWarpOut2(): fix typo that could prevent detection of part of 
the error cases for #5980
  * CPLAcquireMutex(): improve performance on Windows (#5986)

I'll call for a vote promoting it to final in one day if no serious problems 
are reported.
