Jeff / Mike,
I have made a pass through the open PROJ.4 tickets and taken action on most
of the recent ones. I'm hoping to get some feedback on a couple of them.
Two outstanding issues I'd like to address before a final release:
1) Resolve whether it is appropriate for us to have switched from using
+datum= to a detailed definition in the EPSG init file. The GRASS folks
have raised cain (cane?) about this.
2) Build internal handling for +nadgrids=@null. It seems most of the
performance problem Thomas was seeing with projections in mapserver related
to using an actual file for this null transformation.
I see it has been around 2.5 years since the last release. My, how time
flies. Anyways, I have prepared a snapshot of the current state for those
willing to do some quick testing:
