+8.2.0 Release Notes
+-------------------
+
+ Announcements
+ -------------
+
+ From PROJ 9.0.0 and onwards CMake will be the only build system bundled
+ with the PROJ package. As a consequence support for Autotools builds will
+ stop when the 8.2 branch of PROJ reaches end of life. We encourage
+ everyone to adjust their build workflows as soon as possible and report
+ any discrepancies discovered between Autotools and CMake builds.
+
+ Details about the build system unification can be found in PROJ RFC 7.

+7.0.0 Release Notes
+-------------------
+
+The major feature in PROJ 7 is significantly improved handling of gridded
+models. This was implemented in RFC4 (https://proj.org/community/rfc/rfc-4.html).
+The main features of the RFC4 work is that PROJ now implements a new grid format,
+Geodetic TIFF grids, for exchaning gridded transformation models. In addition
+to the new grid format, PROJ can now also access grids online using a data
+store in the cloud.
+
+The grids that was previously available via the proj-datumgrid packages are now
+available in two places:
+
+  1. As a single combined data archive including all available resource files
+  2. From the cloud via https://cdn.proj.org
+
+In Addition, provided with PROJ is a utility called projsync that can be used
+download grids from the data store in the cloud.
+
+The use of the new grid format and the data from the cloud requires that
+PROJ is build against libtiff and libcurl. Both are optional dependencies
+to PROJ but it is highly encouraged that the software is build against both.
+
+
+ATTENTION: PROJ 7 will be last major release version that includes the proj_api.h
+header. The functionality in proj_api.h is deprecated and only supported in
+maintenance mode. It is inferior to the functionality provided by functions
+in the proj.h header and all projects still relying on proj_api.h are encouraged
+to migrate to the new API in proj.h. See https://proj.org/development/migration.html
+for more info on how to migrate from the old to the new API.
+

+6.0.0 Release Notes
+-------------------
+
+PROJ 6 has undergone extensive changes to increase its functional scope from a
+cartographic projection engine with so-called "early-binding" geodetic datum
+transformation capabilities to a more complete library supporting coordinate
+transformations and coordinate reference systems.
+
+As a foundation for other enhancements, PROJ now includes a C++ implementation
+of the modelisation propopsed by the ISO-19111:2019 standard / OGC Abstract
+Specification Topic 2: "Referencing By Coordinates", for geodetic reference
+frames (datums), coordinate reference systems and coordinate operations.
+Construction and query of those geodetic objects is available through a new C++
+API, and also accessible for the most part from bindings in the C API.
+
+Those geodetic objects can be imported and exported from and into the OGC
+Well-Known Text format (WKT) in its different variants: ESRI WKT, GDAL WKT 1,
+WKT2:2015 (ISO 19162:2015) and WKT2:2018 (ISO 19162:2018). Import and export of
+CRS objects from and into PROJ strings is also supported. This functionality
+was previously available in the GDAL software library (except WKT2 support
+which is a new feature), and is now an integral part of PROJ.
+
+A unified database of geodetic objects, coordinate reference systems and their
+metadata, and coordinate operations between those CRS is now available in a
+SQLite3 database file, proj.db. This includes definitions imported from the
+IOGP EPSG dataset (v9.6.0 release), the IGNF (French national mapping agency)
+geodetic registry and the ESRI projection engine database. PROJ is now the
+reference software in the "OSGeo C stack" for this CRS and coordinate operation
+database, whereas previously this functionality was spread over PROJ, GDAL and
+libgeotiff, and used CSV or other adhoc text-based formats.
+
+Late-binding coordinate operation capabilities, that takes  metadata such as
+area of use and accuracy into account, has been added. This can avoid in a
+number of situations the past requirement of using WGS84 as a pivot system,
+which could cause unneeded accuracy loss, or was not doable at all sometimes
+when transformation to WGS84 was not available. Those late-binding capabilities
+are now used by the proj_create_crs_to_crs() function and the cs2cs utility.
+
+A new command line utility, projinfo, has been added to query information about
+a geodetic object of the database, import and export geodetic objects from/into
+WKT and PROJ strings, and display coordinate operations available between two
+CRSs.

+5.0.0 Release Notes
+-------------------
+
+This version of PROJ introduces some significant extensions and
+improvements to (primarily) the geodetic functionality of the system.
+
+The main driver for introducing the new features is the emergence of
+dynamic reference frames, the increasing use of high accuracy GNSS,
+and the related growing demand for accurate coordinate
+transformations.  While older versions of PROJ included some geodetic
+functionality, the new framework lays the foundation for turning PROJ
+into a generic geospatial coordinate transformation engine.
+
+The core of the library is still the well established projection code.
+The new functionality is primarily exposed in a new programming
+interface and a new command line utility, "cct" (for "Coordinate
+Conversion and Transformation").  The old programming interface is
+still available and can - to some extent - use the new geodetic
+transformation features.
+
+The internal architecture has also seen many changes and much
+improvement.  So far, these improvements respect the existing
+programming interface. But the process has revealed a need to simplify
+and reduce the code base, in order to support sustained active
+development.
+
+!!!
+!!! Therefore we have scheduled regular releases over the coming years
+!!! which will gradually remove the old programming interface.
+!!!
+!!! This will cause breaking changes with the next two major version
+!!! releases, which will affect all projects that depend on PROJ
+!!! (cf. section "deprecations" below).
+!!!
+
+The decision to break the existing API has not been easy, but has
+ultimately been deemed necessary to ensure the long term survival of
+the project. Not only by improving the maintainability immensely, but
+also by extending the potential user (and hence developer) community.
+
+The end goal is to deliver a generic coordinate transformation
+software package with a clean and concise code base appealing to
+both users and developers.
+
+
+VERSIONING AND NAMING
+---------------------
+
+For the first time in more than 25 years the major version number of
+the software is changed. The decision to do this is based on the many
+new features and new API. While backwards compatibility remains -
+except in a few rare corner cases - the addition of a new and improved
+programming interface warrants a new major release.
+
+The new major version number unfortunately leaves the project in a bit
+of a conundrum regarding the name. For the majority of the life-time
+of the product it has been known as PROJ.4, but since we have now
+reached version 5 the name is no longer aligned with the version
+number.
+
+Hence we have decided to decouple the name from the version number and
+from this version and onwards the product will simply be called PROJ.
+
+In recognition of the history of the software we are keeping PROJ.4 as
+the *name of the organizing project*. The same project team also
+produces the datum-grid package.
+
+In summary:
+
+o The PROJ.4 project provides the product PROJ, which is now at
+  version 5.0.0.
+
+o The foundational component of PROJ is the library libproj.
+
+o Other PROJ components include the application proj, which provides
+  a command line interface to libproj.
+
+o The PROJ.4 project also distributes the datum-grid package,
+  which at the time of writing is at version 1.6.0.
+
+
+ UPDATES
+ -------
+
+ o Introduced new API in proj.h.
+   - The new API is orthogonal to the existing proj_api.h API and the
+     internally used projects.h API.
+   - The new API adds the ability to transform spatiotemporal (4D)
+     coordinates.
+   - Functions in the new API use the "proj_" namespace.
+   - Data types in the new API use the "PJ_" namespace, with a few
+     historic exceptions such as XY, XYZ, LP and LPZ.
+
+ o Introduced the concept of "transformation pipelines" that makes it
+   possible to do complex geodetic transformations of spatiotemporal
+   coordinates by daisy chaining simple coordinate operations.
+
+ o Introduced cct, the Coordinate Conversion and Transformation
+   application.
+
+ o Introduced gie, the Geospatial Integrity Investigation Environment.
+   - Selftest invoked by -C flag in proj has been removed
+   - Ported approx. 1300 built-in selftests to gie format
+   - Ported approx. 1000 tests from the gigs test framework
+   - Added approx. 200 new tests
+
+ o Adopted terminology from the OGC/ISO-19100 geospatial standards
+   series. Key definitions are:
+   - At the most generic level, a *coordinate operation* is a change
+     of coordinates, based on a one-to-one relationship, from one
+     coordinate reference system to another.
+   - A *transformation* is a coordinate operation in which the two
+     coordinate reference systems are based on different datums, e.g.
+     a change from a global reference frame to a regional frame.
+   - A *conversion* is a coordinate operation in which both
+     coordinate reference systems are based on the same datum,
+     e.g. change of units of coordinates.
+   - A *projection* is a coordinate conversion from an ellipsoidal
+     coordinate system to a plane. Although projections are simply
+     conversions according to the standard, they are treated as
+     separate entities in PROJ as they make up the vast majority
+     of operations in the library.
+
+ o New operations:
+   - The pipeline operator (pipeline)
+   - Transformations:
+     + Helmert transform (helmert)
+     + Horner real and complex polynomial evaluation (horner)
+     + Horizontal gridshift (hgridshift)
+     + Vertical gridshift (vgridshift)
+     + Molodensky transform (molodensky)
+     + Kinematic gridshift with deformation model (deformation)
+   - Conversions:
+     + Unit conversion (unitconvert)
+     + Axis swap (axisswap)
+   - Projections:
+     + Central Conic projection (ccon)
+
+ o Significant documentation updates, including
+   - Overhaul of the structure of the documentation
+   - A better introduction to the use of PROJ
+   - A complete reference to the new proj.h API
+   - a complete rewrite of the section on geodesic calculations
+   - Figures for all projections
+
+ o New "free format" option for operation definitions, which
+   permits separating tokens by whitespace when specifying key/value-
+   pairs, e.g. "proj = merc lat_0 = 45".
+
+ o Added metadata to init-files that can be read with the
+   proj_init_info() function in the new proj.h API.
+
+ o Added ITRF2000, ITRF2008 and ITRF2014 init-files with ITRF
+   transformation parameters, including plate motion model
+   parameters.
+
+ o Added ellipsoid parameters for GSK2011, PZ90 and "danish". The
+   latter is similar to the already supported andrae ellipsoid,
+   but has a slightly different semimajor axis.
+
+ o Added Copenhagen prime meridian.
+
+ o Updated EPSG database to version 9.2.0.
+
+ o Geodesic library updated to version 1.49.2-c.
+
+ o Support for analytical partial derivatives has been removed.
+
+ o Improved performance in Winkel Tripel and Aitoff.
+
+ o Introduced pj_has_inverse() function to proj_api.h. Checks if an
+   operation has an inverse. Use this instead of checking whether
+   P->inv exists, since that can no longer be relied on.
+
+ o ABI version number updated to 13:0:0.
+
+ o Removed support for Windows CE.
+
+ o Removed the VB6 COM interface.

+   only use proj_api.h.
+
+ o Add pj_get_spheroid_defn() accessor.

+   flag no longer works, and some coordinate systems (ie. Malaysian) will
+   need to use +gamma instead.  "epsg" init file updated accordingly.
+
+
+4.7.0 Release Notes
+-------------------
+
+ o Added in memory caching of init file search results for substantial
+   acceleration in some application environments (like MapServer).

+-------------------
+
+ o Upgraded to EPSG 6.17 version for nad/epsg.  Also corrected the precision
+   problem introduced in the last version.
+
+ o Added logic for tmerc projection to fail rather than return crazy results
+   if more than 90 degrees away from the central meridian (#5).  This change
+   may only be temporary till a more comprehensive solution is found.
+
+ o Fixed handling of extra text in cs2cs.
+
+ o Renamed INSTALL to INSTALL.TXT.
+
+ o The eqc projection has been generalized to include a latitude of origin.
+
+ o Added the glabsgm (Gauss Laborde / Sphere Geometric Mean) projection,
+   and gstmerc variation.
+
+ o nad/IGNF init catalogue created.
+
+ o added the ntf_r93.gsb datum shift file.
+

+
+ o Fix testvarious test script so it works properly when grid files available
+
+
+
+4.6.0 Release Notes
+-------------------
+
+ o MAJOR: Rework pj_transform() to avoid applying ellipsoid to ellipsoid
+   transformations as a datum shift when no datum info is available.
+
+ o Avoid applying "change of ellipsoid" during datum shifting based on
+   ellipsoids getting changed to spheres for spherical projections.
+
+ o Upgrade to EPSG 6.13
+
+ o Added "900913" "Google Mercator" code in nad/esri.extra.
+
+ o Avoid some static variable based multi-threading problems.
+
+ o Improve error recovery if ctable style datum shift grid fails to load.
+
+ o Support drive letters properly in PROJ_LIB paths for win32.
+
+ o Fix occasional problem with DMS parsing.

+
+ o Added experimental +lon_wrap flag for alternate pj_transform() longitude
+   wrapping behavior on output.
+
+
+4.4.9 Release Notes
+-------------------
+
+ o Win32 build uses proj.dll by default now.
+
+ o Added accessor functions for the datums, ellps, prime_meridians, units and
+   main projection definition lists so they can be used on windows where
+   data objects exported from the DLL don't work easily.
+
+ o Added JNI (Java Native Interface) support within the jniwrap directory,
+   and some supporting entry points directly in the proj dll/so.   See
+   --with-jni configure switch, and jniwrap/README.
+
+ o Added the proj=stereoa and proj=geos projections, incorporated from
+   Gerald's libproj4.
+
+ o A few other bug fixes.

+
+ o Updated epsg file to EPSG 6.5, added other.extra pseudo-EPSG WMS definitions
+
+ o Made significant fixes to prime meridian support.
+
+ o Substantially change pj_datum_transform(), so it and pj_transform() will
+   work between coordinate systems with different ellipsoids but no datum
+   shift information (assume +towgs84=0,0,0).
+
+ o Added pj_get_release() function.
+
+ o Ensure pj_transform() will try to transform all points in provided list if
+   even some might transform properly.
+

+   solution.
+
+ o Various other bug fixes.
+
+
+4.4.7 Release Notes
+-------------------
+
+ o Added NTv2 (.gsb) grid shift file support.
+
+ o Modified datum shift support so that data file data is only loaded if
+   needed.  Also added 'null' grid as a fallback option, and support for
+   making grids optional (prefix with '@' in +nadgrids).
+
+ o Regenerated nad/epsg file with towgs84 parameters for non-greenwich prime
+   meridians.
+
+ o Updated nad/esri file with better generated form from Paul Ramsey.
+
+ o Various bug fixes.
+
+
+4.4.6 Release Notes

+
+ o Added 'esri' pseudo-epsg coordinate system file.
+
+ o Cleanup so that PROJ.4 compiles clean as C++ code.
+
+ o Added pj_get_def() to expand definitions of stuff like +init clauses.
+
+ o Added a Krovak implementation (proj=krov).  Note this may change again
+   in the next release.
