[QGIS-Developer] proj5 and epsg:3857 ?

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Richard,

You can read my report to the PROJ team while I was testing the release 
candidates: 
http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/proj/2018-February/008082.html 
Sorry, it is a long thread.  I was trying to prevent (this here in QGIS, 
for example) from happening, before the release.
