The 1.10.1 release is a bug fix release.

Build

• Compilation fixes for iOS (#5197, #5198)

• vsicache: fix for 32bit binaries when file size is over 2GB (#5170)
• warper: Fix warping when input pixel size is too close to 0 (#5190)

Utilities

gdalwarp:

• Fix segfault where metadata values weren't being nullchecked properly during conflict resolution. (#5069)
• make gdalwarp honor -s_srs when using cutline (#5081)

gdaltindex:

• remove annoying warning 'Warning 1: Field location of width 255 truncated to 254' (#5121)

rgb2pct.py:

• Use python tempfile logic to avoid permissions issues with cwd (#5079)

ogr2ogr:

• make detection of duplicated field names case insensitive (#5208)

Bindings

Python bindings:

• Fix ref-counting of callable passed to gdal.PushErrorHandler() (#5186)

GDAL drivers

BAG driver:

• Recognise falseNorthing=10000000 as UTM South (#5152)

ECW driver:

• fix crash in GDALDeregister_ECW() with ECW SDK 5 called from GDALDestroy() (#5214)

ERS driver:

• Fix wrong interpretation of RegistrationCellX/RegistrationCellY (#2612, #3056, #5075)

HDF5 driver:

• Set SRS GEOGCS for all CSK products (reverts r25801, #4160)

• Release all opened handles so the file is closed at dataset closing (#5103)

GTiff driver:

• Convert invalid TIFFTAG_RESOLUTIONUNIT=0 to 1(Unknown). This commonly comes about when gdalwarp attempts to resolve metadata conflicts. (#5069)

HFA driver:

• fix rewriting of statics in existing HFA file where base data value is 8-bit (#5175)

JPEG driver:

• Add autodetection of bitmasks that are msb ordered. The JPEG_MASK_BIT_ORDER config option can also be set to MSB if the heuristics fails. (#5102)

KMLSuperOverlay driver:

• fix horrible speed performance in Open() (#5094)
• fix crash at dataset closing and inability to read some big PNG tiles (#5154)

LCP driver:

• Update to handle projections better (#3255)

NetCDF driver:

• fix for netcdf driver cannot read netcdf-4 files with UBYTE data (#5053)
• fix reading large netcdf-4 files with chunking and DEFLATE compression (#4484)
• fix netcdf chunking when creating file with > 2 dims ; add CHUNKING creation option (#5082)
• fix duplicate nodata metadata when using CreateCopy() (#5084)
• fix copying large metadata in netcdf driver (#5113)
• fix netcdf geotransform detection (#5114, #5118)
• fix netcdf driver irregular grids management (#5118 and #4513)

NITF driver:

• Support reading horizontal and/or vertical mono-block uncompressed images, even when the number of columns is <= 8192 (#3263)

PDF driver:

• Avoid reporting a Poppler error as a GDAL error on some newer USGS GeoPDF files (#5201)

PDS driver:

• Parse correctly MISSING_CONSTANT = 16#FF7FFFFB# ; add support for ENCODING_TYPE = ZIP (data file compressed in a ZIP); recognize IMAGE_MAP_PROJECTION as an object included in UNCOMPRESSED_FILE object (#3939)

PostgisRaster driver:

• Dataset open is now much faster because properties are fetched from raster_columns view, if available. In case of not, the drive warns the user and scans the whole table. (#5046)

VRT driver:

• Make sure that VRTSourcedRasterBand::AddMaskBandSource() takes into account specified window (#5120)

OGR core

GeoRaster driver:

• Fix RPC support (#4038)

GML driver:

• Fix writing of .xsd file to avoid fid/gml_id being written as regular fields (#5142)
• Fix writing of global srsName attribue on the global boundedBy.Envelope when all layers have same SRS (#5143)
• Fix segfault when reading a GML file with huge coordinates (#5148)
• Avoid opening our own .xsd files as valid datasources (#5149)

KML driver:

• Output KML that validates the ogckml22.xsd schema by placing <Schema> elements under the <Document> level (#5068)
