[Kristian Evers]

All,

On behalf of the PROJ development team I am happy to announce the release
of PROJ 7.2.0 and PROJ-data 1.3.

The PROJ release includes a number of improvements, new features and bug
fixes. See the detailed release notes below. The PROJ-data package includes adds
new resources for Finish TIN shift transformations as well as the Japanese
GSIGEO2011 geoid.

7.2.0 Release Notes
-------------------

 Updates
 -------

 + Command line tools:

   o Add multi-line PROJ string export capability, and use it by default in
     projinfo (unless --single-line is specified) (#2381)

 + Coordinate operations:

    o +proj=col_urban projection, implementing a EPSG projection method
      used by a number of projected CRS in Colombia (#2395)

    o +proj=tinshift for triangulation-based transformations (#2344)

    o Added ellipsoidal formulation of +proj=ortho (#2361)


 + Database

   o Update to EPSG 10.003 and make code base robust to dealing with
     WKT CRS with DatumEnsemble (#2370)

   o Added Finland tinshift operations (#2392)

   o Added transformation from JGD2011 Geographic 3D to JGD2011
     height using GSIGEO2011 (#2393)

   o Improve CompoundCRS identification and name morphing in VerticalCRS
     with ESRI WKT1 (#2386)

   o Added OGC:CRS27 and OGC:CRS83 CRS entries for NAD27 and NAD83
     in longitude, latitude order (#2350)

 + API

 o Added temporal, engineering, and parametric datum
   PJ_TYPE enumerations (#2274)

  o Various improvements to context handling (#2329, #2331)

  o proj_create_vertical_crs_ex(): add a ACCURACY option to provide
     an explicit accuracy, or derive it from the grid name if it is
     known (#2342)

   o proj_crs_create_bound_crs_to_WGS84(): make it work on
     verticalCRS/compoundCRS such as EPSG:4326+5773 and
     EPSG:4326+3855 (#2365)

   o promoteTo3D(): add a remark with the original CRS identifier (#2369)

   o Added proj_context_clone (#2383)


 Bug fixes
 ---------

 o Avoid core dumps when copying contexts in certain scenarios (#2324)

 o proj_trans(): reset errno before attemptying a retry with a new
   coordinate operation (#2353)

 o PROJJSON schema corrected to allow prime meridians values with
   explicitly stating a unit (degrees assumed) (#2354)

 o Adjust createBoundCRSToWGS84IfPossible() and operation filtering
   (for POSGAR 2007 to WGS84 issues) (#2357)

 o createOperations(): several fixes affecting NAD83 -> NAD83(2011) (#2364)

 o WKT2:2019 import/export: handle DATUM (at top level object) with PRIMEM

 o WKT1_ESRI: fix import and export of CompoundCRS (#2389)
