Howard, The only serious issue I've found is that the Perl bindings don't build. They fail with the following error message:
" perl Makefile.PL Building in GDAL distro tree GDAL version (1.6.1) and module version (1.6.0) do not match at Makefile.PL line 50. " I've identified that the GDAL version is hard coded to '1.6.0' in swig/include/perl/gdal_perl.i. Bumping GDAL_VERSION to '1.6.1' in it seems sufficient to make the build go on, provided that the generated files are regenerated (namely swig/perl/lib/Geo/GDAL.pm). Likely, another step to add in our HOWTO-RELEASE process... I've also noticed that the generated files in SVN for swig/perl are clearly out of date, but in your snapshot, you have regenerated them, right ? Probably a missing commit, but not a big deal if we decide to delete them in SVN finally. Last point, the NEWS file is usually updated in branches/1.6 before tag creation, so that it is up-to-date in the .zip/.tar.gz archive. In a previous version of http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/Release/1.6.1-News, I had also added the fixes that have gone to 1.5 branch since 1.5.4, and thus are also included in 1.6.1, but that disappeared when you refreshed it in last version. I'm not sure what the policy is in that case. So we have 117 bugs closed in 1.6.1 ;-) Even Le Saturday 09 May 2009 04:24:46 Howard Butler, vous avez écrit : > All, > > The GDAL team is pleased to announce the release of GDAL 1.6.1 RC1. > According to the roadmap, exactly 100 bugs have been addressed in this > release.
