OGDI Core News
==============
The NEWS file is just used to sumarize major changes, and new features.
4.1.0
=====
o Remove DTED driver that used the ecsrregex.c functionality removed in the
below bullet.
o Remove ogdi/c-api/ecshash.c and ogdi/c-api/ecsregex.c, which were considered
incompatible of DFSG & OSD (https://github.com/libogdi/ogdi/issues/13)
4.0.0
=====
o Remove PROJ.4 dependency, functionality and related API
With PROJ 6 being released and removing completely projects.h old API,
a major upgrade would have been needed. I'd rater choose to completely
cut off PROJ related functionality from OGDI.
For the VRF case, projection support can be done through the GDAL/OGR
OGDI driver.
The dtusa and dtcanada drivers are removed.
The following functions are removed from ecs_util.h:
cln_SetServerProjection
cln_SetClientProjection
cln_ProjInit
cln_CompareProjections
cln_ConvRegion
cln_ConvTtoS
cln_ConvStoT
cln_ChangeProjection
cln_ChangeProjectionArea
cln_ChangeProjectionLine
cln_ChangeProjectionPoint
cln_ChangeProjectionMatrix
cln_ChangeProjectionImage
cln_ChangeProjectionText
ecs_distance_meters
o Update server version to 4.0 to reflect removal of SetServerProjection
capability
o Build: add -fPIC when required
o Rename aclocal.m4 to acinclude.m4 and apply stricter quoting
o Respect LDFLAGS provided to ./configure
o Fall back to libtirpc if libc does not provide rpc/rpc.h
o Don't hardcode compiler to fix cross compilation.

=====
o MSVC 2015 related fixes
o Win64 target
o VRF: fixes for some linear features in DNC products

o Clean up tons of compiler warnings over GCC.
3.1.5

o Fixed serious bugs with untiled VPF products (like rference layer in VMAP0)
o Fixed a few minor memory leaks, and at least one major one in VPF driver
when using query expression.
o Fixed serious bug in VPF reader when reader is re-loaded after one use.
o Fixed several other issues in VPF driver.
3.1.4
=====
o Fixed bug in VRF driver when one client connection is closed and another
opened.
o Fixed severe problems with VRF driver and selection expressions for string
fields.
o Fixed severe problem composing area polygons from non-tiled VRF datastores
(such as VMAP0 rference layer).
o Fixed additional memory leaks.
o Improvements in README for how to build on Unix and windows.
3.1.3
=====
o Fixed major leak in VPF driver.
o Support TOC files without FSDEVG field.
o Fixed rounding error in computing "nbfeature" in RPF driver (rounding issue)
o Assorted other minor bug fixes, and memory leak cleanup.
3.1.2
=====
o Minor fixes for MacOS 10.3 support (older versions of MacOS won't work
easily)
o Fixed minor memory leaks in core.
o Fixed major file handle leak in ADRG driver.
o Fixed bugs in VPF driver, especially for VITD datasets.
3.1.1
=====
o Upgraded to ZLIB 1.1.4 to avoid buffer overflow security risk in zlib 1.1.3.
o Various bugs fixed, and improvements to ogdi_info, and ogdi_import
utilities.
o Fixed problems in cln_CalcCtlPoints() with very small regions, equivelent
to one pixel of data. Sometimes produced a degenerate transformation.
o Added OGDI_VERSION and OGDI_RELEASEDATE macros in ecs_util.h.
3.1.0
=====
Essentially the same as 3.1Beta1.
3.1Beta1
========
o Implement support for XML Capabilities (as per Proposal 6: Capabilities
Metadata). This includes:
- Added support for reaturning correct capabilities to adrg, dted, rpf
and vpf drivers.
- Added support for parsing capabilities documents, in libogdi utilizing
Expat (incorporated into the source tree under devdir/external).
- Added public client side API for accessing capabilities and version
information (cln_GetLayerCapabilities(), cln_GetVersion()).
o Upgraded VPF driver to support brackets in query expression. Implemented
using generic "restricted_where" processor (swq.c).
o Upgraded ADRG, RPF and DTED drivers to support Image (as well as Matrix)
family support based on updates supplied by DND.
o Added contributed GDAL raster driver as contrib/gdal.
o Updated zlib in external/zlib to 1.1.3.
o Embed version number in OGDI shared libraries (eg. libogdi31.so).
3.1Alpha
========
o Incorporated contrib/ogdi_import, and contrib/ogdi_info sample applications.
o Updated build system to include configure script, install target, and
various cleanups and simplifications. RPCGEN is no longer run by default.
External versions of libz and PROJ.4 can be utilized.
o Updated licenses within source code to reflect the redistributable nature
of code written by LAS on contract to DND.
o Variety of bug fixes, primarily to drivers.
o Remove warnings during build from core code.
