PROJ 5.0.0
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*February 1st 2018*
This version of PROJ introduces some significant extensions and
improvements to (primarily) the geodetic functionality of the system.
The main driver for introducing the new features is the emergence of
dynamic reference frames, the increasing use of high accuracy GNSS,
and the related growing demand for accurate coordinate
transformations. While older versions of PROJ included some geodetic
functionality, the new framework lays the foundation for turning PROJ
into a generic geospatial coordinate transformation engine.
The core of the library is still the well established projection code.
The new functionality is primarily exposed in a new programming
interface and a new command line utility, :ref:`cct<cct>`
(for "Coordinate Conversion and Transformation"). The old programming interface is
still available and can - to some extent - use the new geodetic
transformation features.
The internal architecture has also seen many changes and much
improvement. So far, these improvements respect the existing
programming interface. But the process has revealed a need to simplify
and reduce the code base, in order to support sustained active
development.
**Therefore we have scheduled regular releases over the coming years**
**which will gradually remove the old programming interface.**
**This will cause breaking changes with the next two major version**
**releases, which will affect all projects that depend on PROJ**
**(cf. section "deprecations" below).**
The decision to break the existing API has not been easy, but has
ultimately been deemed necessary to ensure the long term survival of
the project. Not only by improving the maintainability immensely, but
also by extending the potential user (and hence developer) community.
The end goal is to deliver a generic coordinate transformation
software package with a clean and concise code base appealing to
both users and developers.
Versioning and naming
***************************************************************************
For the first time in more than 25 years the major version number of
the software is changed. The decision to do this is based on the many
new features and new API. While backwards compatibility remains -
except in a few rare corner cases - the addition of a new and improved
programming interface warrants a new major release.
The new major version number unfortunately leaves the project in a bit
of a conundrum regarding the name. For the majority of the life-time
of the product it has been known as PROJ.4, but since we have now
reached version 5 the name is no longer aligned with the version
number.
Hence we have decided to decouple the name from the version number and
from this version and onwards the product will simply be called PROJ.
In recognition of the history of the software we are keeping PROJ.4 as
the *name of the organizing project*. The same project team also
produces the datum-grid package.
In summary:
* The PROJ.4 project provides the product PROJ, which is now at
version 5.0.0.
* The foundational component of PROJ is the library libproj.
* Other PROJ components include the application proj, which provides
a command line interface to libproj.
* The PROJ.4 project also distributes the datum-grid package,
which at the time of writing is at version 1.6.0.
Updates
***************************************************************************
* Introduced new API in ``proj.h``.
- The new API is orthogonal to the existing ``proj_api.h`` API and the internally used ``projects.h`` API.
- The new API adds the ability to transform spatiotemporal (4D) coordinates.
- Functions in the new API use the ``proj_`` namespace.
- Data types in the new API use the ``PJ_`` namespace.
* Introduced the concept of "transformation pipelines" that makes possible to do complex geodetic transformations of coordinates by daisy chaining simple coordinate operations.
* Introduced :ref:`cct`, the Coordinate Conversion and Transformation application.
* Introduced :ref:`gie`, the Geospatial Integrity Investigation Environment.
- Selftest invoked by ``-C`` flag in :ref:`proj` has been removed
- Ported approx. 1300 built-in selftests to :ref:`gie` format
- Ported approx. 1000 tests from the gigs test framework
- Added approx. 200 new tests
* Adopted terminology from the OGC/ISO-19100 geospatial standards series. Key definitions are:
- At the most generic level, a *coordinate operation* is a change of coordinates, based on a one-to-one relationship, from one coordinate reference system to another.
- A *transformation* is a coordinate operation in which the two coordinate reference systems are based on different datums, e.g. a change from a global reference frame to a regional frame.
- A *conversion* is a coordinate operation in which both coordinate reference systems are based on the same datum, e.g. change of units of coordinates.
- A *projection* is a coordinate conversion from an ellipsoidal coordinate system to a plane. Although projections are simply conversions according to the standard, they are treated as separate entities in PROJ as they make up the vast majority of operations in the library.
* New operations
- :ref:`The pipeline operator<pipeline>` (``pipeline``)
- Transformations
+ :ref:`Helmert transform<helmert>` (``helmert``)
+ Horner real and complex polynomial evaluation (``horner``)
+ :ref:`Horizontal gridshift<hgridshift>` (``hgridshift``)
+ :ref:`Vertical gridshift<vgridshift>` (``vgridshift``)
+ :ref:`Molodensky transform<molodensky>` (``molodensky``)
+ :ref:`Kinematic gridshift with deformation model<deformation>` (``deformation``)
- Conversions
+ :ref:`Unit conversion<unitconvert>` (``unitconvert``)
+ :ref:`Axis swap<axisswap>` (``axisswap``)
- Projections
+ :ref:`Central Conic projection<ccon>` (``ccon``)
* Significant documentation updates, including
- Overhaul of the structure of the documentation
- A better introduction to the use of PROJ
- :ref:`A complete reference to the new API<reference>`
- a complete rewrite of the section on geodesic calculations
- Figures for all projections
* New "free format" option for operation definitions, which permits separating tokens by whitespace when specifying key/value- pairs, e.g. ``proj = merc lat_0 = 45``.
* Added metadata to init-files that can be read with the :c:func:`proj_init_info` function in the new ``proj.h`` API.
* Added ITRF2000, ITRF2008 and ITRF2014 init-files with ITRF transformation parameters, including plate motion model parameters.
* Added ellipsoid parameters for GSK2011, PZ90 and "danish". The latter is similar to the already supported andrae ellipsoid, but has a slightly different semimajor axis.
* Added Copenhagen prime meridian.
* Updated EPSG database to version 9.2.0.
* Geodesic library updated to version 1.49.2-c.
* Support for analytical partial derivatives has been removed.
* Improved performance in Winkel Tripel and Aitoff.
* Introduced ``pj_has_inverse()`` function to ``proj_api.h``. Checks if an operation has an inverse. Use this instead of checking whether ``P->inv`` exists, since that can no longer be relied on.
* ABI version number updated to 13:0:0.
* Removed support for Windows CE.
* Removed the VB6 COM interface.
