[gdal-dev] RFC 61: Call for vote on adoption

[Ari Jolma]

I'd like to ask the PSC and others to vote on adopting RFC 61: Support 
for measured geometries.

The draft RFC is at

https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc61_support_for_measured_geometries

and a draft implementation is at

https://github.com/ajolma/GDAL-XYZM

which is tested at

https://travis-ci.org/ajolma/GDAL-XYZM

(the test #34, which passed, was the so far last one after core changes 
with unchanged autotests and a rather comprehensive set of WKT tests in 
the Perl tests directory)

This is seemingly a small change but it is at the heart of OGR so it has 
some important implications. The only backwards incompatibilities that 
have appeared so far are with some drivers, for example shapefile, which 
can be lessened with, e.g., open options.

Best,

Ari
