GDAL/OGR 1.11.4 Release Notes

The 1.11.4 release is a bug fix release.

Port

• Fix CPLGetValueType() to recognize D1 as a string and not a real number (#6305)
• /vsistdout/: flush when closing the handle (#6149)
• CPLFormFilename(): use '/' directory separator on Windows on /vsicurl_streaming/ files (#6310)

GDAL Core

• Fix leak in GetMetadataItem() on GDALProxyPoolDataset (#6238)

Utilities

• ogr2ogr: prevent from the gt setting to override transaction group size of 1 set by skipfailures earlier (#2409)
• gdalwarp: fix -srcnodata to not put garbage values as target dstnodata (#6315)

GDAL drivers

BSB driver:

• remove broken and useless logic to deal with extension lines in headers (#6307)

ECRG driver:

• fix base34 decoding and Windows filename handling (#6271)

GTiff driver:

• fix SetMetadata() to properly clear existing PAM metadata (complement to #5807)
• prevent potential out of bounds read to TIFFTAG_EXTRASAMPLES (#6282)
• do not use first directory as potential mask, to avoid assertion in GTiffDataset::SetDirectory() (#6287)
• reject files with strips/tiles/scanlines bigger than 2 GB to avoid 32 bit integer overflow. Also in case of files with Contig PlanarConfiguration do not make reading one block for band 2 OK when reading for band 1 issued an error (#6288)

HFA driver:

• fix crash when nNumRuns = 0 with RLE compression (#6208)
• avoid potential out-of-bounds buffer write (#6286)

netCDF driver:

• fix one byte heap write overflow in NCDFTokenizeArray() (#6231)
• fix potential buffer overflows with uses of nc_inq_varname(), nc_inq_attname() and nc_get_att_text() (#6227)
• validate that gridmapping:GeoTransform has 6 values (#6244)
• NCDFIsGDALVersionGTE(): validate content of NC_GLOBAL#GDAL variable (#6245)

NITF driver:

• fix TRE parser to properly deal with variable length items not in first nesting level, such as ENGRDA (not added in nitf_spec.xml in this changeset) (#6285)

PDF driver:

• correctly take into account non-meter linear units with OGC BP encoding, and add support for US FOOT (#6292)

PDS driver:

• change default values of PDS_SampleProjOffset_Shift and PDS_LineProjOffset_Shift to 0.5 (#5941)

VRT driver:

• serialize NODATA and NoDataValue items with %.16g, e.g. so as to be able to hold large int32 nodata values (#6151)
• VRT raw: don't truncate last figure of ImageOffset if there are left space padding (#6290)

WMS driver:

• limit number of zoom levels for ArcGIS MapServer JSon (#6186)

XPM driver:

• fix vulnerabilities in reading (#6253)

OGR core

• OGRSQL: correctly sort NULL values in first positions (#6155)
• OGRLayer::SetIgnoredFields(): properly reset state of non first geometry fields (#6283)
• Make OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilter(GetSpatialFilter()) work with non empty spatial filter (#6284)
• OGRLayer::Erase(): do not discard input geometries that have no intersection with method layer (#6322)

OGRSpatialReference

• Fix recently introduced memory leak in morphFromESRI() with Mercator Auxiliary Sphere (#5924)

OGR drivers

CSV driver:

• Make OGRCSVLayer::CreateGeomField() returns OGRERR_NONE in case of success instead of OGRERR_FAILURE (#6280)

GML driver:

• serialize in .gfs file the name of the geometry element when it is 'geometry' since this is a particular case (#6247)
• VFR: fix broken processing VFR ST_UVOH files (#6248)
• VFR: fix reading ZpusobOchrany attributes (#6258)

MITAB driver:

• fix segfault when parsing a Region 0 (#6273)
• TABPolyline::ReadGeometryFromMIFFile(): fix segfaults on invalid geometries (#6273)
• TABRectangle::ReadGeometryFromMIFFile(): fix crash on malformed ROUNDRECT (#6273)

NTF driver:

• fix potential buffer overflows when reading too short lines (#6277)

OpenFileGDB driver:

• fix min/max on columns without indices (#6150)
• fix import of MultiLineString Z geometries with several parts (#6332)

PG driver:

• fix creation of multiple geometry fields with SCHEMA creation option (#6141)

PGDump driver:

• fix issue with case of ogc_fid field in case the FID layer creation option is not set by user or by ogr2ogr (related to #6232)

Shape driver:

• fix crash on MultiLineStringM shapes that have no M component (#6317)

VRT driver:

• fix editing with 'direct' geometry mode which could cause attribute column to be empty (#6289)
