# PROJ Release Notes

## 9.8.0

### Updates

* Database: update to EPSG v12.049 (#4671)

* Database: update ESRI records to ArcGIS Pro 3.6 (#4622)

* Support for Canadian vertical references MTM CGVD2013 epoch 1997, 2002, 2010 and
UTM CGVD28 epoch 1997, 2002, 2010 (#4623)

* `createOperationsCompoundToGeog()`: improvement to make "PNG94 / PNGMG94 zone 54 + Kumul
34 height" to "WGS 84 (G2139)" perform vertical transformation (#4624)

* Remove hardcoding of 'ETRS89-NOR [EUREF89]' cases and generalize it to other ETRS89-XXX
cases (#4625)

* Database: create ESRI aliases for geodetic_datum and geodetic_crs even if they are the
same as EPSG ones (#4626)

* Use Emscripten fetch in networkfilemanager (#4627)

* `ProjectedCRS::identify()`: do not return CRS whose ellipsoid is totally different from the input one (#4635)

* `projinfo` added as a library function. This installs a new header: `projapps_lib.h`. (#4646)

* respect `CRS_EXTENT_USE=NONE` for ConcatenatedOperations (#4652)

* Add support for Equidistant Cylindrical ellipsoidal method (EPSG:1028) (#4656)

* Update `proj_symbol_rename.h` (#4657)

* WKT1 importer: deal with 'VERT_CS["Geoid 2012A",' (#4659)

* Generate correct library name in `proj.pc` (#4660)

* Derived projected CRS related improvements (#4667)

* ETRS89-xxx to ETRS89-yyy related improvements (#4668)

* `createCoordinateOperation()`: tune computed accuracy of a concatenated op within ETRS89 (#4670)

* `createOperationsCompoundToGeog()`: discard 2D-only transformations from interpolation
3D CRS to target 3D CRS (#4677)

### Bug Fixes

* CRS identification: fix issue when identifying WKT from older EPSG releases with newer
ones where the ETRS89-XXX national datums have been added (#4600)

* fix `normalizeForVisualization` to skip extent checks for axis-swap operations (#4632)

* Improvements to TRACE_FETCH debug messages (#4645)
* tmerc spherical: fix numeric instability at lat=lat_0 (#4674)
