Some updates that have accumulated over the past week.

Postgres updated to 8.2.4.

PHP 4 updated to 4.4.7. PHP 5 updated to 5.2.2.

GRASS 6.2 updated – fixes some linking issues with other software, I also backported my OSX app build from 6.3, so it has an installer now. New GRASS 6.3 build from current CVS – it uses an installer now so it can setup an Apple Help link and put the modbuild stuff in the /Library GRASS support folder. Both versions use the distribution build from source now, so the readme is a bit simplified and the installer doesn’t check for dependencies (frameworks).

The R software was updated to 2.5 today. I have updated R packages for GDAL and Postgres available.

I split the rgdal package into a separate download, to make it simpler to update the package, since the rgdal source is not part of GDAL.

MapServer updated to 4.10.2-1.

I moved the JPEG2000 driver back into the GDAL binary – this way it will always be the last resort for JPEG2000 formats, all other JP2 drivers being available as plugins.

SQLite3 updated to 3.3.16-1.

FreeType updated to 2.3.4-1.

A batch of updates this evening.

GDAL 1.4.1. Plus accompanying MrSID plugin update.

SQLite 3.3.14.

PROJ – fixed system error reporting (ie disk errors) so helpful message is output.

Postgres – a small change in the setup so logs are rotated daily, avoiding bloated log files. Note that for existing installations this requires updating the startup item AND a manual configuration change.

Another Python-MapScript fix, for static MapServer this time. The PDFlib framework wasn’t linked to Python-MapScript.

When updating MapServer to use Python 2.5, I missed the install folder in the installer. Fixed.

Somehow the last GDAL framework update broke almost every format. The previous binary still works, so I repackaged it into v1.4.0-10. Since the DODS format is a plugin, and that seems to still work, I left that in. This means that only the previous NetCDF format update is not included.

A few framework updates:

PDFlib updated to 7.0.1-1.

GDAL: updated DAP and NetCDF libraries.

UnixImageIO 1.0.13 – renamed the embedded minimal X11 headers so they don’t conflict with an installed X11.

Small update – darkened Mail tools and fixed some color issues.
