Hi,

I've promoted shapelib v1.6.0rc1 as final v1.6.0

- http://download.osgeo.org/shapelib/shapelib-1.6.0.tar.gz
- http://download.osgeo.org/shapelib/shapelib-1.6.0.zip

Changes since v1.5.0:

  * shapefil.h: add SHAPELIB_VERSION_MAJOR/MINOR/MICRO,
    SHAPELIB_VERSION_NUMBER, and SHAPELIB_AT_LEAST macros
  * Compiler warning fixes and various code cleanups
  * SAHooks: add a void *pvUserData member. ABI change
  * SAHooks.FOpen and FClose callbacks: add a void *pvUserData
    parameter. API and ABI change
  * SAHooks.FWrite: make first parameter a const void*. API change
  * Distribute LICENSE-LGPL and LICENSE-MIT files instead of COPYING
    file. Do not distribute INSTALL file
  * Use standard integer data types
  * Changes to allow building with cmake -DCMAKE_UNITY_BUILD=ON
  * Polygon writing: avoid considering rings slightly overlapping as
    inner-outer rings of others (refs OSGeo/gdal#5315)
  * Polygon writing: consider rings at non-constant Z as outer rings
    (fixes OSGeo/gdal#5315) As noted in code comments, this is an
    approximation of more complicated tests we'd likely have to do, that
    would take into account real co-planar testing, to allow detecting
    inner rings of outer rings in an oblique plane.
  * shpopen.c: Communicate why the file size cannot be reached when
    appending features (OSGeo/gdal#4140) Clearly state why the file size
    cannot be reached. This is important in order to correctly inform
    the user and prevent him/her from looking for other reasons. Related
    to https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/44202
  * SHPWriteObject(): prevent potential overflows on 64-bit platforms on
    huge geometries
  * SHPRestoreSHX: update SHX content length even if error occurred
  * In creation, uses w+b file opening mode instead of wb followed by
    r+b, to support network file systems having sequential write only
    and when using CPL_VSIL_USE_TEMP_FILE_FOR_RANDOM_WRITE=YES (fixes
    OSGeo/gdal#7801)
  * Fix adding features in a .dbf without columns (fixes qgis/qgis#51247)
  * Have matching SOVERSION for CMake and autotools
  * Code reformatting
  * Enable contrib/csv2shp build with MSVC
  * Build contributed utilities via CMake
  * Use the the standard BUILD_TESTING CMake variable
  * Remove double free() in contrib/shpsrt (CVE-2022-0699)
  * SHPRestoreSHX: fix for (64 bit) big endian
  * Add config-style support for find_package(shapefile)
  * Prevent no-op FSeeks writing dbf & shp records for network
    filesystem performance

Best regards,

Even
