I just posted a new MITAB 1.5.0 release to the
http://mitab.maptools.org/ site.
This new release includes a few significant additions, the main one
being support for collection objects, thanks to funding from Comcast
(Andy Canfield) and an initial patch and analysis of collections by Jim
Hope of Innogistic Software. There is more, for instance lots of
improvements around the projection stuff, I have included the complete
list of changes since 1.4.0 below.
Note for those using the VB or .NET definition files in the contrib
directory that they have *not* been updated for this release. If I
receive updated headers from the users of these languages then I'll
include them and issue a 1.5.1 release. Only mitab_dyn.pas is up to date
in the contrib directory.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
