v3.3.0

[3.3.0] 2021-06-15

Added

• GDAL 3.3.0
• Read-only support of the new Multidimensional Raster Data Model introduced in GDAL 3.1, requires GDAL >= 3.1
• NetCDF, GRIB, HDF5, Carto, FlatGeobuf, WMS, WMTS and WCS drivers
• Support generalized strides in gdal.RasterBandPixels.{write|read}()
• Add gdal.RasterBandPixels.{set|get}Async()
• Add gdal.RasterBand.computeStatisticsAsync
• Add an explicit stderr warning when the GC has to active sleep on an async operation and solve all (known) occurrences
• Add an explicit stderr warning when user code is calling a synchronous method while an asynchronous operation is running in the background

Changed

• Vastly improved locking mechanism allowing better parallelization
• Linux release builds have lazy binding enabled
• gdal.DatasetBands.get{Async}() now throws an Error if an invalid band is requested instead of returning a null object
• Completely reworked persistent object storage
• Thread-safe gdal.RasterBand.fillAsync
• Fix a number of cases where an unreferenced gdal.Dataset was not protected from the GC during an asynchronous operation

Removed

• Drop support for linking against a system-installed GDAL 1.x library
• Drop support for Ubuntu 16.04
• Drop support for Node.js 10.x and 15.x
• Drop support for Python 2
• Drop support for the drivers removed in GDAL 3.3: AeronavFAA, BNA, E00Grid, HTF, OpenAir, SEGUKOOA, SEGY, SUA and XPlane

v3.2.992 (v3.3.0 Alpha 3)

v3.2.3

[3.2.3] 2021-06-03

Added

• Add async versions of gdal.Layer.flush, gdal.RasterBand.flush and gdal.RasterBand.fill

Changed

• Fix #1, locking on some gdal.Layer operations: flush, getExtent, testCapability, setSpatialFilter, getSpatialFilter and most scalar getters

v3.2.99 (v3.3.0 Alpha 1)

v3.2.2

[3.2.2] 2021-05-25

Changed

• Fix a failing unit test on GDAL 1.x (no effect on the bindings)
• Fix another randomly failing unit test (no effect on the bindings)

v3.2.1

[3.2.1] 2021-05-24

Changed

• Fix a number of memory leaks (exception throwing paths in all gdal.SpatialReference.from* and gdal.DatasetBands.create)

v3.2.0

[3.2.0] 2021-05-21

Added

• GDAL 3.2.3
• Built-in vsicurl and major cloud services (Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Alibaba) support on all platforms
• Support async_hooks
• Support progress callbacks
• Support different algorithms when resampling on-the-fly
• Add gdal.Geometry.fromGeoJsonBuffer(Async)(), a completely parallelizable alternative to gdal.Geometry.fromGeoJson() for importing large GeoJSON geometries without blocking the event loop
• Add gdal.LayerFeatures.setAsync()

Changed

• gdal.Geometry.fromGeoJson now throws an Error on error instead of simply returning a null geometry

  Previously all gdal.Geometry.from* functions except fromGeoJson threw undocumented errors, now all of them, including fromGeoJson throw documented errors

v3.1.1

[3.1.1] 2021-05-14

Changed

• Fully unit-tested TypeScript definitions with many method signatures fixed
• Properties without setters are now correctly identified as being read-only in the TypeScript bindings
• Exported all previously internal _options types used for methods such as RasterBand.read or reprojectImage

v3.1.0

[3.1.0] 2021-05-11

Added

• Add full TypeScript support

• Complete reworking of the Geometry code adding support for CircularString, CompoundCurve and MultiCurve

• Add JS iterators to all collections

• Enable MapInfo TAB and MIF/MID

• Fixed a typo in gdal.SpatialReference, isVectical() method should be isVertical(), the misspelled method will be kept until the next major release

• Expanded unit testing, code coverage is 81% up from 70%

Changed

• Process the unit testing suite with ASAN and fix all memory leaks
