[PROJ] PROJ 7.2.0RC1 and PROJ-data 1.3RC1

[Kristian Evers]

All,

I have prepared candidates for the upcoming PROJ 7.2.0 and PROJ-data 1.3 releases. The packages
are available from

http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-7.2.0RC1.tar.gz <http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-7.2.0RC1.tar.gz>
http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-7.2.0RC1.zip <http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-7.2.0RC1.zip>

and

http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-data-1.3RC1.tar.gz <http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-data-1.3RC1.tar.gz>
http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-data-1.3RC1.zip <http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-data-1.3RC1.zip>

The PROJ release includes a number of updates and bug fixes (see details below) and the data
package is extended with the Japanese GSIGEO2011 geoid and Finish tinshift models.

Please test the release candiates and report your findings back to the mailing list.

PROJ 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)
