| | 915 | * The "Points" method of Geometry was not accepting its own output in the case of a single point. It accepted only a point as a list. Now it accepts a point both as a list containing one point (a ref to a point as a list) and a point as a list. |
| | 916 | * Fixed UTF-8 support in decoding names (datasource, layer, field etc.). |
| | 917 | * Assume all GDAL strings are UTF-8, handle all changes in typemaps. |

| | 922 | * Perl bindings: better by name / by index logics, some checks for silent failures, return schema as a hash if wanted, support ->{field} syntax for features, return list attributes as lists or listrefs as wished so that ->{field} works for lists too (API change) |
| | 923 | |

| | 928 | * Fix reference leak in 'typemap(in) char **dict' |
| | 929 | * Add gdal.VSIStatL() |
| | 930 | * swig/python/setup.py : fix for virtualenv setups (#4285) |
| | 931 | * Layer.GetExtent() : add optional parameter can_return_null that can be set to allow returning None when OGR_L_GetExtent() fails |
| | 932 | * Make gdal.VSIFSeekL(), gdal.VSIFTellL() and gdal.VSIFTruncateL() use GIntBig instead of long for compat with 32bit platforms |
| | 933 | * Add script to build the python extensions with Python 2.7 and a mingw32 cross-compiler under Linux/Unix |
| | 934 | |
| | 935 | Ruby bindings: |
| | 936 | * Build SWIG Ruby Bindings against modern Ruby versions (1.8.7 and 1.9.2) (#3999) |
