<div class="textblock"><center> Back to <a class="el" href="highprec.html">Support for high precision arithmetic</a>. Up to <a class="el" href="index.html#contents">Contents</a>. </center><p>List of versions in reverse chronological order together with a brief list of changes. (Note: Old versions of the library use a year-month style of numbering. Now, the library uses a major and minor version number.) Recent versions of <a class="el" href="namespaceGeographicLib.html" title="Namespace for GeographicLib. ">GeographicLib</a> are available at <a href="http://sf.net/projects/geographiclib/files/distrib/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/geographiclib/files/distrib/</a>. Older versions are in <a href="http://sf.net/projects/geographiclib/files/distrib/archive/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/geographiclib/files/distrib/archive/</a>.</p>
<p>The corresponding documentation for these versions is obtained by clicking on the “Version <em>m.nn</em>” links below. Some of the links in the documentaion of older versions may be out of date (in particular the links for the source code will not work if the code has been migrated to the archive subdirectory). All the releases are available as tags “r<em>m.nn</em>” in the the "release" branch of the git repository for <a class="el" href="namespaceGeographicLib.html" title="Namespace for GeographicLib. ">GeographicLib</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://geographiclib.sf.net/1.37">Version 1.37</a> (released 2014-08-08)<ul>
<li>Add <a class="el" href="highprec.html">Support for high precision arithmetic</a>.</li>
<li><b>INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE</b>: the static instantiations of various classes for the WGS84 ellipsoid have been changed to a <a href="http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq/static-init-order-on-first-use.html">"construct on first use idiom"</a>. This avoids a lot of wasteful initialization before the user's code starts. Unfortunately it means that existing source code that relies on any of the following static variables will need to be changed to a function call:<ul>

</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="http://geographiclib.sf.net/1.36">Version 1.36</a> (released 2014-05-13)<ul>
<li>Changes to comply with NGA's prohibition of the use of the upper-case letters N/S to designate the hemisphere when displaying UTM/UPS coordinates:<ul>
<li><a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1UTMUPS.html#ad74d52d7ebeff195019745f791f30562">UTMUPS::DecodeZone</a> allows north/south as hemisphere designators (in addition to n/s);</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1UTMUPS.html#ac597fc1e5176ca1ed6ef13499ec5c4bb">UTMUPS::EncodeZone</a> now encodes the hemisphere in <em>lower case</em> (to distinguish this use from a grid zone designator);</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1UTMUPS.html#ac597fc1e5176ca1ed6ef13499ec5c4bb">UTMUPS::EncodeZone</a> takes an optional parameter <em>abbrev</em> to indicate whether to use n/s or north/south as the hemisphere designator;</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1GeoCoords.html#a8a991c9c1dea2abdeaa57501d2108e7f">GeoCoords::UTMUPSRepresentation</a> and <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1GeoCoords.html#ae957e3f352e44e367157f624a7f68967">GeoCoords::AltUTMUPSRepresentation</a> similarly accept the <em>abbrev</em> parameter;</li>
<li><a href="GeoConvert.1.html">GeoConvert</a> uses the flags -a and -l to govern whether UTM/UPS output uses n/s (the -a flag) or north/south (the -l flag) to denote the hemisphere;</li>
<li>Fixed a bug what allowed +3N to be accepted as an alternative UTM zone designation (instead of 3N).</li>
</ul>
<b>WARNING:</b> The use of lower case n/s for the hemisphere might cause compatibility problems. However DecodeZone has always accepted either case; so the issue will only arise with other software reading the zone information. To avoid possible misinterpretation of the zone designator, consider calling EncodeZone with <em>abbrev</em> = false and GeoConvert with -l, so that north/south are used to denote the hemisphere.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1MGRS.html#a91de10ebde478dbb85b3c7d057ff97b9">MGRS::Forward</a> with <em>prec</em> = -1 will produce a grid zone designation. Similarly <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1MGRS.html#a066b79e78cd85bf4b50df50808bed7e3">MGRS::Reverse</a> will decode a grid zone designation (and return <em>prec</em> = -1).</li>
<li>Stop using the throw() declaration specification which is deprecated in C++11.</li>
<li>Add missing std:: qualifications to copy in LocalCartesion and <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Geocentric.html" title="Geocentric coordinates ">Geocentric</a> headers (bug found by Clemens).</li>
</ul>

<li>Matlab wrapper routines geodesic{direct,inverse,line} switch to "exact" routes if |<em>f</em>| > 0.02.</li>
<li>GeodSolve.cgi allows ellipsoid to be set (and uses the -E option for <a href="GeodSolve.1.html">GeodSolve</a>).</li>
<li>Set title in HTML versions of man pages for the <a class="el" href="utilities.html">Utility programs</a>.</li>
<li>Changes in cmake support:<ul>
<li>add _d to names of executables in debug mode of Visual Studio;</li>
<li>add support for Android (cmake-only), thanks to Pullan Yu;</li>
<li>check CPACK version numbers supplied on command line;</li>
<li>configured version of project-config.cmake.in is project-config.cmake (instead of geographiclib-config.cmake), to prevent find_package incorrectly using this file;</li>
<li>fix tests with multi-line output;</li>
<li>this release includes a file, pom.xml, which is used by an experimental build system (based on maven) at SRI.</li>
