[PROJ] PROJ 7.2.1RC1 and PROJ-data 1.4RC1

[Kristian Evers]

All,

I have prepared release candidates for PROJ 7.2.1 and PROJ-data 1.4. Links below.


The PROJ release candidate includes a few updates to the database contents as well as a bunch
of bug fixes. See the release notes below.
The PROJ-data release candidate includes two new grid files, au_ga_AGQG_20191107.tif
and eu_nkg_nkgrf2017vel.tif, that are used in new transformations added to PROJ.

Download the two release candidates here:

http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-7.2.1RC1.tar.gz
http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-7.2.1RC1.zip

http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-data-1.4RC1.tar.gz
http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-data-1.4RC1.zip

As usual everyone who uses PROJ is encouraged to try out the release candidates and report
back their experiences either here on the mailing list or in the issue tracker on GitHub.
