| | 2 | |
| | 3 | (Note: Most changes/bugfixes between 1.7.0 and 1.8.0 that have already gone |
| | 4 | to the 1.7.X maintenance releases are not mentioned hereafter.) |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | == In a nutshell... == |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | * New GDAL drivers : GTX, HF2, JPEGLS, JP2OpenJPEG, JPIPKAK, KMLSUPEROVERLAY, LOS/LAS, MG4Lidar, NTv2, OZI, PDF, RASDAMAN, XYZ |
| | 9 | * New OGR drivers : AeronavFAA, ArcObjects, GPSBabel, HTF, LIBKML, MSSQLSpatial, NAS, OpenAir, PDS, PGDump, SOSI, SUA, WFS |
| | 10 | * Significantly improved OGR drivers : DXF, GML |
| | 11 | * New implemented RFCs : RFC 7, RFC 24, RFC 28, RFC 29, RFC 30, RFC 33 |
| | 12 | * New utility : gdallocationinfo |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | == Backward compatibility issues == |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | * MITAB driver: use "," for the OGR Feature Style id: parameter delimiter, not "." as per the spec. Known impacted application : |
| | 17 | MapServer (http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3556) |
| | 18 | * RFC 33 changes the way PixelIsPoint is handled for GeoTIFF (#3838,#3837) |
| | 19 | * GML driver: write valid <gml:MultiGeometry> element instead of the non-conformant <gml:GeometryCollection>. For backward compatibility, recognize both syntax for the reading part (#3683) |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | == GDAL/OGR 1.8.0 - General Changes == |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | Build(All): |

| | 25 | |
| | 26 | Build(Unix): |
| | 27 | * Fix compilation on RHEL/Centos 64bit for expat and sqlite3 (#3411) |
| | 28 | * Update to autoconf 2.67 and libtool 2.2.6 |

| | 646 | * Add OGR_SQLITE_SYNCHRONOUS configuration option that, when set to OFF, can speed up considerably write operations (e.g. on EXT4 filesysstems), at the expense of extra robustness w.r.t system crashes. |
| | 647 | * Spatialite: when creating a spatialiate DB, add a srs_wkt column in the spatial_ref_sys table, as introduced in libspatialite 2.4.0 |
| | 648 | * Implement the DeleteLayer() interface and report the ODsCDeleteLayer capability |

| | 657 | WFS driver: |
| | 658 | * New for GDAL/OGR 1.8.0 |
| | 659 | * WFS client that brings read & write (WFS-T) support for WFS 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 |
| | 660 | |
| | 661 | == SWIG Language Bindings == |
| | 662 | |
| | 663 | General : |
| | 664 | * Add Geometry.Length(), Geometry.Area(), Geometry.Simplify(), Geometry.UnionCascaded(), Geometry.SymDifference, Geometry.Boundary() |
| | 665 | * Add SpatialReference.GetUTMZone() |
| | 666 | * Add Geometry.ForceToPolygon(), Geometry.ForceToMultiPolygon(), Geometry.ForceToMultiPoint() and Geometry.ForceToMultiLineString() |
| | 667 | * Add Band.SetScale() Band.SetOffset(), and Band.SetUnitType() |
| | 668 | * Add ogr.RegisterDriver() and ogr.DeregisterDriver() |
| | 669 | * Move ogr.GeometryTypeToName() and ogr.GetFieldTypeName() from Java bindings to all bindings |
| | 670 | * Initialize return values of GetRasterStatistics() so that we know if they have been updated |
| | 671 | * Add Feature.SetFromWithMap() |
| | 672 | * Add gdal.GridCreate() (#3661) |
| | 673 | * Expose OSR GetSemiMajor(), GetSemiMinor(), GetInvFlattening() and ImportFromERM() functions |
| | 674 | |
| | 675 | CSharp bindings: |
| | 676 | * Use the .NET Framework 2.0 transparency rules (level 1 transparency) for the VC2010 builds (#3559) |
| | 677 | * Fix GDAL_DMD_ and GDAL_DCAP_ constants for Csharp (#3601) |
| | 678 | |
| | 679 | Java bindings: |
| | 680 | * Add GdalGrid.java, GDALContour.java |
| | 681 | * Add 'make test' target for Unix/Windows |
| | 682 | |
| | 683 | Perl bindings: |
| | 684 | * Support polygons in TransformPoints. |
| | 685 | * Test for existence of capability before comparison (avoid unnecessary warning) |
| | 686 | * Added CAPABILITIES lists to driver, datasource and layer classes; Capabilities and TestCapability methods return and use strings as documented already earlier; added FIELD_TYPES, JUSTIFY_TYPES, GEOMETRY_TYPES and BYTE_ORDER_TYPES lists into appropriate classes |
| | 687 | * "create" constructor for FeatureDefn |
| | 688 | * Add aliases Equals and Intersects as mentioned in #3492 |
| | 689 | * Changes to support RFC 30 |
| | 690 | * Add bindings for ReadDir, Stat, FillNodata |
| | 691 | * Simple support for PostGIS HEX EWKB (remove/add SRID) |
| | 692 | * The Schema method of FeatureDefn returns a schema, where each field hash contains also key 'Index' and the field index as the value. |
| | 693 | |
| | 694 | Python bindings: |
| | 695 | * Fix compilation of Python bindings with Python 3.X on 64 bit platform |
| | 696 | * Optimize Band.ReadRaster() and Dataset.ReadRaster() to avoid extra buffer copy; also add the capability to pass the result buffer such as |
| | 697 | result_buf = ' '; ReadRaster(0, 0, 1, 1, buf_obj = result_buf) (#3521) |
| | 698 | * NumPy Band.WriteArray() : use numpy object directly instead of converting to string |
| | 699 | * Band.ReadAsArray() : instantiate the numpy object before calling RasterIO() instead of creating it from a string |
| | 700 | * NumPy : add support for signed byte |
| | 701 | * Make sure that feat.SetField('field_name', double_value) goes through OGR_F_SetFieldDouble() instead of being first converted to string |
| | 702 | * Add an optional parameter can_return_null to Dataset.GetGeoTransform(); when used and set to True, None is returned when GDALGetGeoTransform() returns CE_Failure (instead of the fake (0,1,0,0,0,1)); backward compatibility preserved when the parameter isn't specified |
| | 703 | * Avoid supressing warnings and errors when exceptions are used (#3632) |
| | 704 | * Add gdalinfo.py, ogrinfo.py and ogr2ogr.py as sample scripts, direct ports of corresponding C/C++ utilities |
| | 705 | * Allow manipulating buffer > 2 GB on 64bit builds for ReadRaster() and WriteRaster() |
| | 706 | * Map gdal.GetCacheMax(), gdal.SetCacheMax() and gdal.GetCacheUsed() to the corresponding 64bit new API |
| | 707 | * Reset error status before new GDAL/OGR call when using gdal.UseExceptions() (#3077) |
| | 708 | * Changes to support RFC 30 |
| | 709 | * Fix Feature.ExportToJson() (#3870) |
| | 710 | |
