Thanks to all on the gdal/ogr team who worked hard to make this release
happen!
gdal/ogr is getting better and better and is one of the most important
corner stones of Open Source GIS! The rapid success of Open Source
Desktop and Web-GIS (like QGIS, gvSIG, OpenLayers, and to a certain
extent also GRASS) is only possible because of the very good base libraries.
Congrats,
Andreas
