= GDAL/OGR 1.11.1 Release Notes = 

The 1.11.1 release is a bug fix release.

'''Security announcement'''

Robert Coup has noticed a security problem with the OGR WCTS service.
This code is not part of the standard build process, nor usually packaged by binary distributions,
so most users should not be affected by this problem unless they have compiled it by themselves.
This code still lies in the ogr/wcts directory from the source distribution of the 1.11 branch.
For more details, you can read the "Security Concern" paragraph at http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/spike/wcts/html/index.html
