| 156 | == Compatibility == |
| 157 | |
| 158 | There are no anticipated backward compatibility problems. However forward compatibility will be affected, in that drivers updated in trunk with the Identify function will not be able to be ported back into 1.4 builds and used their. Unmodified drivers, and externally maintained drivers should not be impacted by this development. |
| 159 | |
| 160 | == SWIG Implications == |
| 161 | |
| 162 | The GDALIdentifyDriver() function will need to be exposed via SWIG. |
| 163 | |
| 164 | == Regression Testing == |
| 165 | |
| 166 | Appropriate tests will be added to the autotest/gcore directory. |
| 167 | |
| 168 | == Implementation Plan == |
| 169 | |
| 170 | The new features will be implemented by Frank Warmerdam in ''trunk'' for the GDAL/OGR 1.5.0 release. |
