     2
     3The 2.1.2 release is a bug fix release.
     4
     5== Port ==
     6* Fix deadlock at CPLWorkerThreadPool destruction (#6646)
     7* CPLGetSymbol() on Windows: honour GDAL_FILENAME_IS_UTF8 setting to call
     8  LoadLibraryW() (#6650)
     9* /vsicurl/: take CPL_VSIL_CURL_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS into account even if
     10  GDAL_DISABLE_READDIR_ON_OPEN is defined (#6681)
     11
     12== GDAL algorithms ==
     13
     14== GDAL Core ==
     15* Nodata comparison: fix test when nodata is FLT_MIN or DBL_MIN (#6578)
     16* External overview: fix incorrect overview building when generating from greater
     17  overview factors to lower ones, in compressed and single-band case (#6617)
     18* Make sure that GDALSetCacheMax() initialize the raster block mutex (#6611)
     19* Fix potential deadlock in multithreaded writing scenarios (#6661)
     20* Make multi-threaded reading/writing when using GetLockedBlock()/MarkDirty()/
     21  DropLock() lower level interfaces (#6665)
     22
     23== Utilities ==
     24* gdal_translate & gdalwarp: lower the default value of GDAL_MAX_DATASET_POOL_SIZE
     25  to 100 on MacOSX (#6604)
     26* gdalwarp: when -to RPC_DEM is specified, make -et default to 0 as documented (#6608)
     27* gdal_translate: when using -projwin with default nearest neighbour resampling,
     28  align on integer source pixels (#6610)
     29* gdal2xyz: use %d formatting for Int32/UInt32 data types (#6644)
     30
     31== GDAL drivers ==
     32
     33AIGRID driver:
     34* fix 2.1.0 regression when reading statistics (.sta) file with only 3 values,
     35  and fix <2.1 behaviour to read them in LSB order (#6633)
     36
     37ENVI driver:
     38* on closing, pad image file with trailing nul bytes if needed (#6662)
     39
     40GeoRaster driver:
     41* fix for geotransform matrix with rotation terms (#6593)
     42
     43GPKG driver:
     44* check if transaction COMMIT is successful (#6667)
     45* fix crash on overview building on big overview factor (#6668)
     46
     47GTiff driver:
     48* fix saving and loading band description (#6592)
     49* avoid reading external metadata file that could be related to the target
     50  filename when using Create() or CreateCopy() (#6594)
     51* do not generate erroneous ExtraSamples tag when translating from a RGB UInt16,
     52  without explicit PHOTOMETRIC=RGB (#6647)
     53
     54HDF4 driver:
     55* Fixed erroneous type casting in HDF4Dataset::AnyTypeToDouble() breaking reading
     56  georeference data and some other metadata from HDF4-EOS datasets (#6618)
     57
     58HDF5 driver:
     59* correct number of GCPs to avoid dummy trailing (0,0)->(0,0,0) and remove +180
     60  offset applied to GCP longitude. Add instead a heuristics to determine if the
     61  product is crossing the antimeridian, and a HDF5_SHIFT_GCPX_BY_180 config option
     62  to be able to override the heuristics (#6666)
     63
     64ISCE driver:
     65* make parsing of properties case insensitive (#6637)
     66
     67netCDF driver:
     68* fix crash on datasets with 1D variable with 0 record (#6645)
     69
     70RMF driver:
     71* fix wrong counter decrement that caused compressed RMF to be incorrectly
     72  decompressed (https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/153)
     73
     74ROI_PAC driver:
     75* fix computation of line offset for multi-band BIP files, and warn if detecting
     76  a wrong file produced by GDAL >= 2.0.0 (#6591)
     77
     78SRTMHGT driver:
     79* accept filenames like NXXEYYY.SRTMGL1.hgt (#6614)
     80
     81VRT driver:
     82* make CheckCompatibleForDatasetIO() return FALSE on VRTDerivedRasterBands (#6599)
     83* fix performance issue when nodata set at band level and non-nearest resampling used (#6628)
     84* VRTComplexSource: do temp computations on double to avoid precision issues
     85  when band data type is Int32/UInt32/CInt32/Float64/CFloat64 (#6642)
     86
     87== OGR core ==
     88
     89== OGR utilities ==
     90* GDALVectorTranslate(): imply update mode if access mode not explicitly
     91  specified and hDstDS != NULL (#6612)
     92
     93== OGR drivers ==
     94
     95Carto driver:

     99* update schema to reflect CURRENT_TIMESTAMP -> 'now' changes (https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/155)
     100* do not emit error when running ExecuteSQL() with a spatial filter on an empty
     101  layer (#6639)
     102* list (non spatial) layers not registered in gpkg_contents (#6679)
     103* robustified layer deletion and renaming (#6679)
     104* implementation of DeleteField, AlterFieldDefn and ReorderFields (#6679)
     105* GetExtent() to save computed extent in gpkg_contents if empty (#6679)
     106* add 'RECOMPUTE EXTENT ON' special SQL (#6679)
     107* update last modified date on tiles update (#6679)
     108* check identifier unicity on layer creation (#6679)
     109* add possibility to disable foreign key check by setting
     110  OGR_GPKG_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECK=NO config option (#6679)
     111* add HasSpatialIndex(tblname,geomcolname) SQL function (#6679)
     112
     113GML driver:
     114* remove hack for CityGML regarding forcing srsDimension to 3 if not specified.
     115  Instead add a GML_SRS_DIMENSION_IF_MISSING config option that can be set to
     116  3 if needed (#6597)
     117* consider srsName with URL like 'http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/' as
     118  following EPSG axis order. Add SWAP_COORDINATES=YES/NO/AUTO (and
     119  GML_SWAP_COORDINATES configuration option) to override all auto guessing (#6678)

     129
     130PG driver:
     131* fix errors caused by missing geometry_columns/spatial_ref_sys tables in non
     132  PostGIS databases, that prevent reading more than 500 features (http://hub.qgis.org/issues/10904)
     133
     134PLScenes driver:
     135* add HTTP retry logic (#6655)
     136* V0 API: workaround limitations on filtering on image_statistics.image_quality (#6657)
     137

     140  config option is not defined (#6609)
     141
