fyi from the GDAL-dev ML http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2014-May/039054.html
--------------------- Even Rouault: Hi, I've followed the update process of the EPSG SRS database to latest v8.4, and just committed the updated files into libgeotiff, GDAL and PROJ trunk. Also submitted to PostGIS. >From what I can see, among many changes and additions, 2 new projection methods have been added: * 1051,Lambert Conic Conformal (2SP Michigan) --> looks very close to standard "Lambert Conic Conformal (2SP)", with the addition of a new parameter K, the ellipsoid scaling factor. * 1052,Colombia Urban I don't think any of those 2 new methods are currently handled by PROJ, so the new PCS based on those projection methods (3 Michigan SRS, and several dozains of Colombia PCS) will not be handled by GDAL nor PROJ. Regarding GDAL, I've improved the add_esri_column.py script (see http://trac.osgeo.org/geotiff/changeset/2446), so that we have more ESRI DATUM names. That should make morphing from/to ESRI .prj files a bit better. Regarding PROJ.4 'espg' and PostGIS spatial_ref_sys.sql files, I've also added the list of SRS that are GEOCCS (GeoCentric) and COMPD_CS (Compound Horizontal + Vertical). Please let me know if you see issues. libgeotiff: http://trac.osgeo.org/geotiff/ticket/63 http://trac.osgeo.org/geotiff/changeset/2447 GDAL: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5462 http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/27322 PROJ: http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ticket/236 http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/changeset/2448 Submitted for PostGIS : http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/2737 Best regards, Even ----- best regards Helmut -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/gdal-dev-Update-of-EPSG-database-to-v8-4-tp5140218.html Sent from the Grass - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
