GDAL/OGR 2.2.2 Release Notes

The 2.2.2 release is a bug fix release.

Build

  • Windows build: always build the PDF driver, even when none of poppler/podofo/pdfium are available, in which case it is write-only (#6938)
  • Compilation fixes on Ubuntu 16.04 with explicit --std=c++03 (#6952)

Port

  • /vsigzip/: make Eof() detect end of stream when receive a Z_BUF_ERROR error. Fixes #6944.
