GDAL/OGR 2.1.3 Release Notes

The 2.1.3 release is a bug fix release.

Build

• Windows: include plugins in clean, oci: also clean dll
• windows: makegdal_gen.bat: update script to generate most recent Visual C++ project files (#6635)

Port

• CPLHTTPFetch(): add a CAINFO option to set the path to the CA bundle file. As a fallback also honour the CURL_CA_BUNDLE and SSL_CERT_FILE environment variables used by the curl binary, which makes this setting also available for /vsicurl/, /vsicurl_streaming/, /vsis3/ and /vsis3_streaming/ file systems (#6732)
• Fix GetDiskFreeSpace() on 32bit Linux to avoid 32bit overflow when free disk space is above 4 GB (#6750)

GDAL algorithms

• Warper: avoid undefined behaviour when doing floating point to int conversion, that may trigger exception with some compilers (LLVM 8) (#6753)
• OpenCL wrapper: do not use CL_MEM_COPY_HOST_PTR flag as it is forbidden by the opencl spec for clGetSupportedImageFormats() use case. Fix for NVidia use case (#6624)
• OpenCL wrapper: fix wrapping of Float32 data type with NVIDIA OpenCL (#6669)

Utilities

• gdalinfo -json: fix order of points in wgs84Extent.coordinates (github #166)
• gdal_rasterize: fix segfaults when rasterizing into an ungeoreferenced raster, or when doing 'gdal_rasterize my.shp my.tif' with a non existing my.tif (#6738)
• gdal_calc.py: fix usage message

Shape driver:

• when rewriting the geometry of the last record in the .shp, do it at the file offset it previously used (#6787)

SQLite driver:

• Spatialite: do not report some BLOB columns as geometry columns of tables/views (when found before the geometry column(s)) (#6695, #6659)
• fix update of features with multiple geometry columns (#6696)
• Spatialite: avoid spatial views to cause layers 'layer_name(geometry_name)' to be publicly listed (#6740)
• SQLite/GPKG: add explicit error message when trying to open a read-only WAL-enabled database, and make sure when closing a WAL-enabled database opened in read-only mode to reopen it in read-write mode so that the -wal and -shm files are removed (#6776)
