Hi All, FYI: I've added the required dependencies for the OpenJPEG and GeoPDF drivers to all the development packages available at: http://vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk/ so all the new drivers mentioned below can now be tested against the recent GDAL SVN daily builds. If you encounter any issues feel free to provide a feedback.

Read/write support. > * JP2OpenJPEG ( http://gdal.org/frmt_jp2openjpeg.html ) : another (the > 5th!) > JPEG2000 driver, based on the open-source OpenJpeg library (BSD-licenced). > More potential than Jasper with big images, but depends on an (yet) > unreleased > development branch of OpenJpeg. Read/write support. > * XYZ ( http://gdal.org/frmt_xyz.html ) : to access simple gridded ASCII > files. > Read/write support. > * GeoPDF ( http://gdal.org/frmt_geopdf.html ) : to extract both > georeferencing > and rasterize PDF documents, that have georeferencing encoded in either of > the > 2 current existing ways : the OGC GeoPDF encoding best practice (promoted > by > TerraGo), or according to the Adobe Supplement to ISO 32000. Read-only, > based > on poppler library (GPL-licenced) > > OGR drivers : > * GPSBabel ( http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_gpsbabel.html ) : leverages the > capabilities of the GPSBabel utility (GPL-licenced) to read/write many GPS > file > formats. > * OpenAir ( http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_openair.html ) and SUA ( > http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_sua.html ) : 2 fairly equivalent and > special-purpose > drivers to read text files describing Special Use Airspaces. > * PDS ( http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_pds.html ) : another fairly specialized > driver > to extract tabular information from NASA PDS (Planetary Data Systems) > files > * PGDump ( http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_pgdump.html ) : I believe I alrealdy > mentionned that one. A write-only driver to generate SQL dump files that > can be > later injected into a live PostgreSQL instance. More or less similar to > PostGIS shp2pgsql utility > * WFS ( http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_wfs.html ) : a WFS/WFS-T client that can > read > and write OGC WFS 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 services. > > The GML driver was also significantly upgraded, in particular to support > more > GML3 geometries, more complex documents with non-flat structures and > various > tweaks that help reading some GML application schemas (CityGML, AIXM) > etc... > For more details about that... and the work done by all the others GDAL > contributors, you can have a look at the preliminary NEWS : > http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdal/NEWS > > How testing those new stuff ? > - Unix/Linux users : checkout GDAL svn trunk (or daily snapshot from > http://gdal.org/daily/ ), configure, make, make install ;-) > - Windows users : build from source, or use for example Tamas Szekeres' > daily > builds at http://vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk/ (Note that those builds don't > currently include JP2OpenJPEG and GeoPDF due to the external dependencies). > I > believe that gdal-dev in osgeo4w has also been recently updated with a > 1.8.0dev snapshot. > > Have fun, > > Even > > _______________________________________________ > gdal-dev mailing list > gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev >
