Hi, On behalf of the GDAL/OGR development team and community, I am pleased to announce the release of GDAL/OGR 2.3.0. GDAL/OGR is a C++ geospatial data access library for raster and vector file formats, databases and web services. It includes bindings for several languages, and a variety of command line tools.
http://www.gdal.org/ The 2.3.0 release is a new feature release with the following highlights: * New GDAL drivers: - PDS4: read/write - RDA: DigitalGlobe Raster Data Access (read-only) * New OGR drivers: - MVT: add read/write driver for Mapbox Vector Tile standalone files or tilesets - ESRIJson and TopoJSON: read-only, splitted from existing code of the GeoJSON driver - WFS3: *experimental* read-only driver * RFC 68: Make C++11 a build requirement https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc68_cplusplus11 * RFC 70: Guess output format from extension of output filename, if no explicit format passed to C++ or Python utilities https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc70_output_format_guess * RFC 71: Move to GitHub for source code repository and issue tracker. https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc71_github_migration * Significantly improved drivers: - MBTiles (vector tiles support) - DXF - GRIB (GRIB2 write support) - WCS (support WCS 2.0) * Improvements in network-based /vsi handlers: /vsicurl, /vsis3, /vsigs. Add: - /vsiaz for Microsoft Azure Blobs - /vsioss for Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service - /vsiswift/ for OpenStack Swift object storage * Command line utilities: use Unicode main on Windows to avoid issues with non-ASCII characters (#7065) * Update to EPSG v9.2 (#7125) * Update data/esri_extra.wkt and add data/esri_epsg.wkt, taken from https://github.com/Esri/projection-engine-db-doc (Apache v2 license) (#2163) * Add support for PROJ.5 new API (requires proj 5.0.1 or later) * More than 1000 fixes for issues/vulnerabilities found by OSS-Fuzz * Remove raster OGDI driver (vector OGDI driver still there) (#7087) More complete information on the new features and fixes in the 2.3.0 release can be found at: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/Release/2.3.0-News The release can be downloaded from: * http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.3.0/gdal230.zip - source as a zip * http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.3.0/gdal-2.3.0.tar.gz - source as .tar.gz * http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.3.0/gdal-2.3.0.tar.xz - source as .tar.xz * http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.3.0/gdal-grass-2.3.0.tar.gz - GDAL-GRASS plugin * http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.3.0/gdalautotest-2.3.0.tar.gz - test suite * http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.3.0/gdal230doc.zip - documentation / website The migration guide can be found at : https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/release/2.3/gdal/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT Best regards, Even -- Spatialys - Geospatial professional services http://www.spatialys.com
