Upstream says that using sqlite3 will become somewhere between normal
and the standard approach. Because sqlite3 is small and typically
already isntalled on systems where one would want to run gama, just
depend on it and don't bother to make it an option.
It would be fine with me to make it a default-on option, but I don't
think that's worth the complexity.
XXX The comment in the code is wrong and using std::isnan is actually
XXX the portable approach. DragonFly and other GCC users likely need the
XXX same change
GNU Gama is a project dedicated to adjustment of geodetic networks. It
is intended for use with traditional geodetic surveyings which are
still used and needed in special measurements (e.g., underground or
high precision engineering measurements) where the Global Positioning
System (GPS) cannot be used.
Adjustment in local Cartesian coordinate systems is fully supported by
a command-line program gama-local that adjusts geodetic (free)
networks of observed distances, directions, angles, height
differences, 3D vectors and observed coordinates (coordinates with
given variance-covariance matrix). Adjustment in global coordinate
systems is supported only partly as a gama-g3 program.

Bumped maximum channel count to 32 to accommodate GPS+GLONASS devices.
API version bumped to 5, redesign finished (changes are documented
in the Client HOWTO). cgps now handles resize signals. Code can now
link with uClibc for embedded use. Various bugs in the C++ binding
have been fixed. gpxlogger can now daemonize and write to a specified
log file. A gpsd client can now set any locale it likes, and JSON
will still be parsed using the C locale matching the daemon's. Clients
are no longer required to define a gpsd_report() hook. gpsd no longer
emits probe strings to unidentified USB devices at startup.
JSON timestamps in TPV and SKY are now ISO8601 rather than seconds since
the Unix epoch; the library handles the older style backward-compatibly.
GPGST sentences are now parsed for noise statistics when a device emits them.
AIS and RTCM2 JSON dumps have device fields. JSON reports now include 50bps
subframe data if the device allows access to it. gpsdecode can now dump NMEA
GPS binary, and subframe data to JSON. The RTCM2 code now understands and
analyzes RTCM2.3 messages 13, 14, and 31, and has been checked against another
analyzer. The ancient Sager dump format for RTCM2 is abolished in favor of
a JSON profile.
pst-geo is a set of PSTricks related packages for various cartographic
projections of the terrestrial sphere. The package pst-map2d provides
conventional projections such as Mercator, Lambert, cylindrical, etc.
The package pst-map3d treats representation in three dimensions of the
terrestrial sphere. Packages pst-map2dII and pst-map3dII allow use of
the CIA World DataBank II. Various parameters of the packages allow for
choice of the level of the detail and the layouts possible (cities,
borders, rivers etc). Substantial data files are provided, in an
(internally) compressed format. Decompression happens on-the-fly as a
document using the data is displayed, printed or converted to PDF
format. A Perl script is provided for the user to do the decompression,
if the need should arise.
The changes are fully described at
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/Release/1.8.0-News
However, the following are the highlights.
In a nutshell:
* New GDAL drivers : GTX, HF2, JPEGLS, JP2OpenJPEG, JPIPKAK,
KMLSUPEROVERLAY, LOS/LAS, MG4Lidar, NTv2, OZI, PDF, RASDAMAN,
XYZ
* New OGR drivers : AeronavFAA, ArcObjects, GPSBabel, HTF, LIBKML,
MSSQLSpatial, NAS, OpenAir, PDS, PGDump, SOSI, SUA, WFS
* Significantly improved OGR drivers : DXF, GML
* New implemented RFCs:
o RFC 7: Use VSILFILE for VSI*L Functions
o RFC 24: Progressive data support in GDAL
o RFC 28: OGR SQL Generalized Expressions
o RFC 29: OGR Set Ignored Fields
o RFC 30: Unicode Filenames
o RFC 33: GTIFF - Corrected !PixelIsPoint Interpretation
* New utility : gdallocationinfo
Backward compatibility issues:
* MITAB driver: use "," for the OGR Feature Style id: parameter
delimiter, not "." as per the spec. Known impacted application:
MapServer?
* RFC 33 changes the way PixelIsPoint? is handled for GeoTIFF
* GML driver: write valid <gml:MultiGeometry> element instead of
the non-conformant <gml:GeometryCollection>. For backward
compatibility, recognize both syntax for the reading part
