[GRASS-dev] Fwd: [gdal-dev] shapelib 1.5.0 release

[Markus Neteler]

Hi devs,

we still have an older copy of shapelib in
lib/external/shapelib/

Is that still needed/wanted for the upcoming 7.8.0 release?
If yes, to be updated?

Markus

Hi,

(CC'ing gdal-dev as well, since shapelib at lists.osgeo.org has likely lower
audience)

I've released shapelib 1.5.0

The main change is the removal of the 'shpproj' contrib utility and thus PROJ
dependency.

The tarballs are available at:
http://download.osgeo.org/shapelib/shapelib-1.5.0.tar.gz
http://download.osgeo.org/shapelib/shapelib-1.5.0.zip

The log of changes since 1.4.1 is:

2019-02-28  Even Rouault  <even.rouault at spatialys.com>

        * shpopen.c: resync with GDAL internal shapelib to avoid being dependent
        on correctness of file size field in .shp. Fixes
        https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2018-October/049218.html

2019-02-28  Even Rouault  <even.rouault at spatialys.com>

        * contrib/shpgeo.h/.c: Remove PROJ.4 dependency and functionality,
         causing removal of SHPProject(), SHPSetProjection() and
SHPFreeProjection()
        * contrib/shpproj.c: removed

2018-08-16  Even Rouault  <even.rouault at spatialys.com>

        * shpopen.c, dbfopen.c, shptree.c, sbnsearch.c: resyc with GDAL
        internal shapelib. Mostly to allow building those files as C++
        without warning. Also add FTDate entry in DBFFieldType
        (see https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/308). And some other
        code cleanups

2018-08-16  Even Rouault  <even.rouault at spatialys.com>

        * dbfopen.c: fix a bug where the end of file character was
        written on top of the first character of the first field name
        when deleting a field on a .dbf without records.
        Fixes https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/863

2018-06-15  Even Rouault  <even.rouault at spatialys.com>

        * safileio.c: remove duplicate test. Patch by Jaroslav Fojtik.
        Fixes http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2744
