Folks, I am pleased to announce the release of PROJ 4.8.0. This is a major new feature release and collects all the work done since the PROJ 4.7.0 release in September 2009. The NEWS file includes these major items:
* Added the Natural Earth projection. * Added HEALPIX, rHEALPIX and Icosahedral Snyder Equal Area projections. * nad2bin now produces "CTable2" format grid shift files by default which are platform independent. * nad2nad removed, use cs2cs for datum shift operations. * projects.h no longer installed as a public include file. Please try to only use proj_api.h. * Add pj_get_spheroid_defn() accessor. * Added an alternate version of pj_init() that takes a projCtx (execution context) structure to address multithreading issues with error management and to provide a support for application hookable error reporting and logging. * Upgrade to EPSG 7.9. Some changes in ideal datum selection. * JNI bindings reworked, org.proj4.Projections deprecated in favor of org.proj4.PJ. * Added preliminary vertical datum support. * Fix various multithreading issues, particular in datum grid handling code. * Added support for the +axis= option for alternate axis orientations as part of a coordinate system (used for TM South Orientated support). * +proj=omerc implementatioin replaced with code from libproj4. +rot_conv flag no longer works, and some coordinate systems (ie. Malaysian) will need to use +gamma instead. "epsg" init file updated accordingly.
