GeoTIFF represents an effort by over 160 different remote sensing,
GIS, cartographic, and surveying related companies and organizations
to establish a TIFF based interchange format for georeferenced raster
imagery.
This library is the reference implementation for reading and writing
GeoTIFF tags.

As discussed on pkgsrc-users, x11/ftlk (1.1) is no longer maintained,
and 1.3 is believed to be almost entirely compatible.
Patch from Tim Larson, who has build-tested these packages on
NetBSD/amd64.
Bug Fix Release (of a bug fix release):
* Fix CPU usage going to 100% when statusbar items update is called.
Viking 1.3.2 (2012-09-23)
Bug Fix Release including:
* Removed Route Finder Tool as Google Direction service interface has
disalbed the method Viking interfaced with it.
* Fix for Debian#685817: Statusbar Update From Thread Instability
* Fix SF#3564795: Crashing when attempting to create waypoints from EXIF
images without enough GPS information.
* Fix drawing of next potential trackpoint on Windows Systems.
* Fix GPSBabel Dynamic Device List generation on Windows Systems.
* Fix crashing when displayed map copyright(s) is longer than the internal
buffer.
* Fix crashing when deleting a GPS layer which has started a realtime tracking.
* Fix printing of DEBUG message since glib 2.32
Viking 1.3.1 (2012-06-26)
Bug Fix for Windows Systems Release:
* Fix crash in Show Picture functionality on Window's Systems.
Rather than passing -Wno-unused-but-set-variable flag to satisfy -Werror,
just remove the -Werror directive. This protects older compilers that
might break on an unrecognized future flag.
geoclue uses -Werror, but gcc4.6+ has a new warning,
unused-but-set-variable which will break the build. Add a CFLAG to
inhibit the warning to fix build on gcc4.6+.
Version 1.13
* Fixed templates lookup name syntax errors reported by Brandon
Invergo <brandon@invergo.net> (detected by compiler g++-4.7).
Many thanks for your patch, Brandon.
* Fixed a bug reported by Jacques Beilin <jacques.beilin@ensg.eu>
Function NormalDistribution ended in an endless loop for high
values of input argument x.
* Fixed a bug reported by Anton Horpynich <anton@vingeo.com>
The computation of approximate coordinates failed if an angle
needed for computing of an intersection was smaller than 0.15
radians / 10 gons (implicit testing criterion). Although this is a
reasonable limit for standard surveying networks, in a batch
computation of approximate coordinates a much smaller value can be
sometimes acceptable. It is more or less a matter of personal
opinion if this is to be supposed a bug or not.
Gama newly solves approximate coordinates in two main loops.
During the first loop the default value 0.15 in class Acord is
used. If afterwards there still some coordinates remain
missing, Gama starts a second loop with series of iterations in
which firstly tries to find a solution with the default value
then secondly with a very tiny limit of 0.0015 radians.
In most cases all coordinates are solved in the first loop with
the default small angle limit 10 gons.
* In gama-local suppressed output of running results during
linearization iterations and several other minor fixes
Version 1.12
* class BaseVisitor and related classes moved to separete file visitor.h
* local Observation has protected init method and non-parametric constructor
Code in local Observation was reorganized and some atributes are not const.
* local observations are visitable (base is Accept<>)
- class Direction : public Observation
+ class Direction : public Accept<Direction, Observation>
** local observations' write methods moved to WriteVisitor
** LocalRevision and LocalLinearization are now visitors
** base classes Revision and Linearization removed from local
** method observations_summary in LocalNetworkXML uses visitor for counting
** method observations in LocalNetworkXML uses visitor for writing
** function OutlyingAbsoluteTerms uses visitor for writing
** method test_abs_term in LocalNetwork uses visitor for test
** local Observation set_passive and set_active methods are now non-const
** function AdjustedObservations uses visitor for writing part of table row
** function TestLinearization uses visitor for computing and writing
** function ResidualsObservations uses visitor writing observation name
* fixed a bug in the definition of angular observations reported
by Anna Kratochvilova <anna.kratochvilova@fsv.cvut.cz> and Vaclav
Petras <vaclav.petras@fsv.cvut.cz>
* updated version of review.hu.lang by Siki Zoltan, some
corrections in the Hungarian translation of GNU Gama
