= gdal16 = * Raster / Vector format geospatial data access library (1.6 ABI) * This package tracks the 1.6 branch of GDAL/OGR, and will maintain C/C++ ABI compatibility to the 1.6 ABI indefinately. However, it is not compatible with the 1.5 ABI used by the primary GDAL package. * Currently all in one package for libraries, commands and docs. * The gdal-16 package unpacks in ''osgeo4w''\apps\gdal-16 and does not disturb the normal gdal package. To actually use the gdal-16 package, run the "gdal16.bat" script in the OSGeo4W console window. * Note that while running the "gdal16.bat" script makes it possible to use the gdal-1.6.x utilities (like gdal_translate) it does '''not''' affect the other GDAL using programs like MapServer, or OpenEV which will continue to use the GDAL from the standard [wiki:pkg-gdal]. * Maintainer is FrankWarmerdam
