Closes #1258
2019-12-28Update man-pages from Sphinx-docsKristian Evers
2019-09-22Update to version 1.50 of the geodesic library.Charles Karney
* Allow arbitrarily complex polygons in geod_polygon_*. In the case of self-intersecting polygons the area is accumulated "algebraically", e.g., the areas of the 2 loops in a figure-8 polygon will partially cancel. * Simplify code by using C99 functions remainder and remquo. * More test coverage. Fixes to associated files: * src/pipeline.cpp invoke geod_init with f = es / (1 + sqrt(1 - es)) instead of (the less accurate) f = 1 - sqrt(1 - es) * src/apps/geod_set.cpp remove "#undef f" (a dangling relic?).

calculations with something more helpful to the beginning user.
2017-08-29Release candidate for geodesic library version 1.49.Charles Karney
Only substantial changes are (1) testing the HAVE_C99_MATH flag and acting accordingly and (2) adding a couple of tests.
2017-04-09Merge is geodesic routines from GeographicLib 1.48. Changes:Charles Karney
- http://geographiclib.sf.net -> http://geographiclib.sourceforge.io - backport fixes for warnings messages from some compilers - change default range for longitude and azimuth to (-180d, 180d] (instead of [-180d, 180d))
2017-02-15Issue #490 update from geodesic routines from GeographicLib 1.47.Charles Karney
Improve accuracy of area calculation (fixing a flaw introduced in version 1.46). Changed files geodesic.[ch3], geodtest.c, geod.1.

2016-02-15Upgrade geodesic library from GeographicLib 1.46.Charles Karney
* upgrade geodesic.[ch3] * add test suite geodtest.c and invoke via cmake's add_test * increment version to 4.9.3 and library version to 11.0.0
2015-08-16Drop in the latest geodesic library from GeographicLib (version 1.44).Charles Karney
http://geographiclib.sourceforge.net/1.44/C/index.html The changes are: - Improve accuracy of calculations by evaluating trigonometric functions more carefully and replacing the series for the reduced length with one with a smaller truncation error. - The allowed ranges for longitudes and azimuths is now unlimited; it used to be [-540d, 540d). - Enforce the restriction of latitude to [-90d, 90d] by returning NaNs if the latitude is outside this range. - The inverse calculation sets s12 to zero for coincident points at pole (instead of returning a tiny quantity). This commit also includes a work-around for an inaccurate value for pi/180 in dmstor.c (see the definitions of DEG_IN and DEG_OUT in geod_interface.c).
2015-05-20Update to version 1.43 of the geodesic routines. This fixes twoCharles Karney
relatively obscure problems. (1) The business of returning an unrolled longitude with the solution to the direct problem was broken for west-going geodesics. (2) For flattening > 1/100, a slight inaccurate result was returned for a12 in the direct calculation. git-svn-id: http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/proj/trunk@2656 4e78687f-474d-0410-85f9-8d5e500ac6b2
