[Geotiff] libgeotiff 1.4.0 Release Candidate

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

I have prepared a libgeotiff 1.4.0 release candidate at:

   http://download.osgeo.org/geotiff/libgeotiff/libgeotiff-1.4.0RC1.tar.gz
   http://download.osgeo.org/geotiff/libgeotiff/libgeotiff-1.4.0RC1.zip

Major changes since the 1.3.0 release early in 2010 include:

  - Upgrade to EPSG 7.6 database (from 7.4)
  - Fix GTIFGetDefn() to properly normalize false eastings and northings to
    meters.
  - Added unofficial GeogTOWGS84 geokey.

Also a variety of bug fixes have been applied.

I would appreciate folks trying out the release candidate.  I will wait a
few days before promoting it to a final release.  I will also not proceed
until at least one other person on the list has indicated their support
for promoting it to final release, based on their trying it out!

Best regards,
--
