+## 9.8.1
+
+### Warning
+
+It was discovered after the PROJ 9.8.0 release that several EPSG updates introduced
+after EPSG v12.033 - notably the introduction of national realizations of ETRS89
+(ETRS89-XXX […] where XXX is the 3-letter ISO country code) - caused backward
+incompatibilities in some workflows involving the ETRS89 CRS.
+
+In particular, transformations between ETRS89 and national CRSs based on other
+datums are known to be affected for Austria, Belgium, Catalonia, the Netherlands,
+Romania, and Serbia. See #4736 for more details.
+
+While we intend to resume tracking the latest EPSG releases in future PROJ
+versions, the safest solution identified so far to address these regressions is to
+**revert the EPSG related content of its database from EPSG v12.049 to v12.029**,
+where v12.029 was the version distributed with PROJ 9.7.1
+
+As a consequence of this revert, the EPSG datum and CRS records introduced in
+PROJ 9.8.0, which are mostly related to the new ETRS89-XXX datum and CRS, are no
+longer available in PROJ 9.8.1.
+
+### Updates
+
+* Database: **Revert content from EPSG v12.049 to v12.029** (#4741).
+  See above warning for more details.
+
+* CMake: handle deprecated SQLite::SQLite3 target in CMake 4.3 (#4694)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+* Make sure that epoch is set in more scenarios of time-dependent transformations (#4688)
+
+* pj_obj_create: use database context if already open for grid name resolution (#4703)
+
+* Chain vertical CRS transformations through intermediate same-datum vertical CRS (#4711)
+  Helps for example for **EPSG:5705** (Baltic 1977 height) to **EPSG:5706** (Caspian depth)
+  by using intermediate operation from Baltic 1977 height to Caspian *height*
+
+* gie: various fixes around crs_src/crs_dst support and bootstrap
+  test/gie/epsg_grid.gie and test/gie/epsg_no_grid.gie (#4740)

+### 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
+
+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 exchanging 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
+
+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.
+
+### Updates
+
+* Removed projects.h as a public interface (#835)
+
+* Deprecated the proj_api.h interface. The header file is still available
+  but will be removed with the next major version release of PROJ. It is

+## 5.0.0
+
+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.
+
+```text
+!!!
+!!! 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:
+
+* The PROJ.4 project provides the product PROJ, which is now at
+ version 5.0.0.
+
+* The foundational component of PROJ is the library libproj.
+
+* Other PROJ components include the application proj, which provides
+ a command line interface to libproj.
+
+* The PROJ.4 project also distributes the datum-grid package,
+ which at the time of writing is at version 1.6.0.
+
+### Updates
+
+* 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.
+
+* Introduced the concept of "transformation pipelines" that makes it
+  possible to do complex geodetic transformations of spatiotemporal
+  coordinates by daisy chaining simple coordinate operations.
+
+* Introduced cct, the Coordinate Conversion and Transformation
+  application.
+
+* 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
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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)
+
+* 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
+
+* 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".
+
+* Added metadata to init-files that can be read with the
+  proj_init_info() function in the new proj.h API.
+
+* Added ITRF2000, ITRF2008 and ITRF2014 init-files with ITRF
+  transformation parameters, including plate motion model
+  parameters.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Added Copenhagen prime meridian.
+
+* Updated EPSG database to version 9.2.0.
+
+* Geodesic library updated to version 1.49.2-c.
+
+* Support for analytical partial derivatives has been removed.
+
+* Improved performance in Winkel Tripel and Aitoff.
+
+* 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.
+
+* ABI version number updated to 13:0:0.
+
+* Removed support for Windows CE.
+
+* Removed the VB6 COM interface.

+  main projection definition lists so they can be used on windows where
+  data objects exported from the DLL don't work easily.
+
+* Added JNI (Java Native Interface) support within the jniwrap directory,
+  and some supporting entry points directly in the proj dll/so.   See

+* Added pj_get_release() function.
+
+* Ensure pj_transform() will try to transform all points in provided list if
+  even some might transform properly.
