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="https://sf.net/projects/geographiclib/files/distrib/">https://sourceforge.net/projects/geographiclib/files/distrib/</a>. Older versions are in <a href="https://sf.net/projects/geographiclib/files/distrib/archive/">https://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 Some of the links in the documentation of older versions may be out of date (in particular the links for the source code will not work if the code has been migrated to the archive subdirectory).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 <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/geographiclib/code/ci/release/tree/">git repository for GeographicLib</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://geographiclib.sf.net/1.45">Version 1.45</a> (released 2015-09-30)<ul>
<li>Fix BUG in solution of inverse geodesic caused by misbehavior of some versions of Visual Studio on Windows (fmod(−0.0, 360.0) returns +0.0 instead of −0.0) and Octave (sind(−0.0) returns +0.0 instead of −0.0). These bugs were exposed because max(−0.0, +0.0) returns −0.0 for some languages.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Geodesic.html#ad7e59a242125a35a95c96cdb20573081">Geodesic::Inverse</a> now correctly returns NaNs if one of the latitudes is a NaN.</li>
<li>Changes to JavaScript package:<ul>
<li>thanks to help from Yurij Mikhalevich, it is a now a <a href="https://nodejs.org">node</a> package that can be installed with <a href="https://www.npmjs.com">npm</a>;</li>
<li>make install now installs the node package in <code>lib/node_modules/geographiclib</code>;</li>
<li>add unit tests using mocha;</li>
<li>add documentation via JSDoc;</li>
<li>fix bug <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Geodesic.html#a84a3b9b457dd87b1059045b9d50303fd">Geodesic.GenInverse</a> (this bug, introduced in version 1.44, resulted in the wrong azimuth being reported for points at the pole).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Changes to Java package:<ul>
<li>add implementation of ellipsoidal <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Gnomonic.html" title="Gnomonic projection ">Gnomonic</a> projection (courtesy of Sebastian Mattheis);</li>
<li>add unit tests using JUnit;</li>
<li>Math.toRadians and Math.toDegrees are used instead of GeoMath.degree (which is now removed), as a result…</li>
<li>Java version 1.2 (released 1998-12) or later is now required.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Changes to Python package:<ul>
<li>add unit tests using the unittest framework;</li>
<li>fixed bug in normalization of the area.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Changes to MATLAB package:<ul>
<li>fix array size mismatch in geoddistance by avoiding calls to subfunctions with zero-length arrays;</li>
<li>fix tranmerc_{fwd,inv} so that they work with arrays and mixed array/scalar arguments;</li>
<li>work around Octave problem which causes mgrs_fwd to return garbage with prec = 10 or 11;</li>
<li>add geographiclib_test.m to run a test suite.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Behavior of substituting 1/<em>f</em> for <em>f</em> if <em>f</em> > 1 is now <b>deprecated</b>. This behavior has been removed from the JavaScript, C, and Python implementations (it was never documented). Maxima, MATLAB, and Fortran implementations never included this behavior.</li>
<li>Other changes:<ul>
<li>fix bug, introduced in version 1.42, in the C++ implementation to the computation of area which causes NaNs to be returned in the case of a sphere;</li>
<li>fixed bug, introduced in version 1.44, in the detection of C++11 math functions in configure.ac;</li>
<li>throw error on non-convergence in <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Gnomonic.html#afccbed660a482ef73d33ad16406ee626">Gnomonic::Reverse</a> if GEOGRAPHICLIB_PRECISION > 3;</li>
<li>add geod_polygon_clear to C library;</li>
<li>turn illegal latitudes into NaNs for Fortran library;</li>
<li>add test suites for the C and Fortran libraries.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="http://geographiclib.sf.net/1.44">Version 1.44</a> (released 2015-08-14)<ul>
<li>Various changes to improve accuracy, e.g., by minimizing round-off errors:<ul>
<li>Add <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Math.html#ab24f0d4b506c030c1d4804e05028d3c7">Math::sincosd</a>, <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Math.html#a8901c693dc6770dee85af53d05254461">Math::sind</a>, <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Math.html#adc45b2d84af7087747e53512d64a7f5f">Math::cosd</a> which take their arguments in degrees. These functions do exact range reduction and thus they obey exactly the elementary properties of the trigonometric functions, e.g., sin 9° = cos 81° = − sin 123456789°.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Math.html#a0747900a12e92222bb016e114eafe7ee">Math::AngNormalize</a> now works for any angles, instead of angles in the range [−540°, 540°); the function <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Math.html#a0590e1eaf2c4e8a7d8b1354a01f4f127">Math::AngNormalize2</a> is now <b>deprecated</b>.</li>
<li>This means that there is now no restriction on longitudes and azimuths; any values can be used.</li>
<li>Improve the accuracy of <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Math.html#a6971d53ec2411130ebd7e365c7ba2fbf">Math::atan2d</a>.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1DMS.html#ae802c666ad53884ce062281409bd78b4">DMS::Decode</a> avoids unnecessary round-off errors; thus 7:33:36 and 7.56 result in identical values. <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1DMS.html#ac0eeff1b7c77352d9fd22e34959a7dcc">DMS::Encode</a> rounds ties to even. These changes have also been made to DMS.js.</li>
<li>More accurate rounding in <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1MGRS.html#a066b79e78cd85bf4b50df50808bed7e3">MGRS::Reverse</a> and mgrs_inv.m; this change only makes a difference at sub-meter precisions.</li>
<li>With <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1MGRS.html#a91de10ebde478dbb85b3c7d057ff97b9">MGRS::Forward</a> and mgrs_fwd.m, ensure that digits in lower precision results match those at higher precision; as a result, strings of trailing 9s are less likely to be generated. This change only makes a difference at sub-meter precisions.</li>
<li>Replace the series for <em>A</em><sub>2</sub> in the <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Geodesic.html" title="Geodesic calculations ">Geodesic</a> class with one with smaller truncation errors.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Geodesic.html#ad7e59a242125a35a95c96cdb20573081">Geodesic::Inverse</a> sets <em>s12</em> to zero for coincident points at pole (instead of returning a tiny quantity).</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Math.html#a1f1f676c013a1c7a7493354e4140a521">Math::LatFix</a> returns its argument if it is in [−90°, 90°]; if not, it returns NaN.</li>
<li>Using <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Math.html#a1f1f676c013a1c7a7493354e4140a521">Math::LatFix</a>, routines which don't check their arguments now interpret a latitude outside the legal range of [−90°, 90°] as a NaN; such routines will return NaNs instead of finite but incorrect results; <b>caution</b>: code that (dangerously) relied on the "reasonable" results being returned for values of the latitude outside the allowed range will now malfunction.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>All the <a class="el" href="utilities.html">Utility programs</a> accept the -w option to swap the latitude-longitude order on input and output (and where appropriate on the command-line arguments). CartConvert now accepts the -p option to set the precision; now all of the utilities except GeoidEval accept -p.</li>
<li>Add classes for <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1GARS.html" title="Conversions for the Global Area Reference System (GARS) ">GARS</a>, the Global Area Reference System, and for <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Georef.html" title="Conversions for the World Geographic Reference System (georef) ">Georef</a>, the World Geographic Reference System.</li>
<li>Changes to <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1DMS.html#ae802c666ad53884ce062281409bd78b4">DMS::Decode</a> and DMS.js:<ul>
<li>tighten up the rules:<ul>
<li>30:70.0 and 30:60 are illegal (minutes and second must be strictly less than 60), however</li>
<li>30:60.0 and 30:60. are legal (floating point 60 is OK, since it might have been generated by rounding 59.99…);</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>generalize a+b concept, introduced in version 1.42, to any number of pieces; thus 8+0:40-0:0:10 is interpreted as 8:39:50.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Documentation fixes:<ul>
<li>update man pages to refer to <a href="GeoConvert.1.html">GeoConvert(1)</a> on handling of geographic coordinates;</li>
<li>document limitations of the series used for <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1TransverseMercator.html" title="Transverse Mercator projection. ">TransverseMercator</a>;</li>

<li><a href="http://geographiclib.sf.net/1.43">Version 1.43</a> (released 2015-05-23)<ul>
<li>Add the Enhanced Magnetic Model 2015, emm2015. This is valid for 2000 thru the end of 2019. This required some changes in the <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1MagneticModel.html" title="Model of the earth's magnetic field. ">MagneticModel</a> and <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1MagneticCircle.html" title="Geomagnetic field on a circle of latitude. ">MagneticCircle</a> classes; so this model cannot be used with versions of <a class="el" href="namespaceGeographicLib.html" title="Namespace for GeographicLib.

<li>Fix BLUNDER in <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1PolarStereographic.html" title="Polar stereographic projection. ">PolarStereographic</a> constructor introduced in version 1.42. This affected <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1UTMUPS.html" title="Convert between geographic coordinates and UTM/UPS. ">UTMUPS</a> conversions for UPS which could be incorrect by up to 0.5 km.</li>
<li>Changes in the LONG_NOWRAP option (added in version 1.39) in the <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Geodesic.html" title="Geodesic calculations ">Geodesic</a> and <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1GeodesicLine.html" title="A geodesic line. ">GeodesicLine</a> classes:<ul>
<li>The option is now called LONG_UNROLL (a less negative sounding term); the original name, LONG_NOWRAP, is retained for backwards compatibility.</li>
<li>There were two bad BUGS in the implementation of this capability: (a) it gave <em>incorrect</em> results for west-going geodesics; (b) the option was <em>ignored</em> if used directly via the <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1GeodesicLine.html" title="A geodesic line. ">GeodesicLine</a> class. The first bug affected the implementations in all languages.

">GeodesicLine</a> and <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1GeodesicLineExact.html" title="An exact geodesic line. ">GeodesicLineExact</a>), JavaScript, Java, C, Python. These bugs have now been FIXED.</li>
<li>The <a href="GeodSolve.1.html">GeodSolve</a> utility now accepts a -u option, which turns on the LONG_UNROLL treatment. With this option <code>lon1</code> is reported as entered and <code>lon2</code> is given such that <code>lon2</code> − <code>lon1</code> indicates how often and in what sense the geodesic has encircled the earth. (This option also affects the value of longitude reported when an inverse calculation is run with the -f option.)</li>
<li>The inverse calculation with the JavaScript and Python libraries similarly sets <code>lon1</code> and <code>lon2</code> in output dictionary respecting the LONG_UNROLL flag.</li>
<li>The online version of <a href="http://geographiclib.sf.net/cgi-bin/GeodSolve">GeodSolve</a> now offers an option to unroll the longitude.</li>
<li>To support these changes <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1DMS.html#ac53465a8c059943ae790a0433c1b78c5">DMS::DecodeLatLon</a> no longer reduces the longitude to the range [−180°, 180°) and <a class="el" href="classGeographicLib_1_1Math.html#acf9a200b1eccf392b8a527fcafae1497">Math::AngRound</a> now coverts −0 to +0.</li>

<li>MATLAB function mgrs_inv now takes an optional <em>center</em> argument and strips white space from both beginning and end of the string.</li>
<li>Minor internal changes:<ul>
<li>GeodSolve sets the geodesic mask so that unnecessary calculations are avoided;</li>
<li>some routines have migrated into a math class for for Python, Java, JavaScript libraries.</li>
</ul>

<li><a class="el" href="namespaceGeographicLib.html" title="Namespace for GeographicLib. ">GeographicLib</a> usually normalizes longitudes to the range [−180°, 180°). However, when solving the direct geodesic and rhumb line problems, it is sometimes necessary to know how many lines the line encircled the earth by returning the longitude "unwrapped".

<li>Binary installers for Windows are now built with Visual Studio 11 2012 (instead of Visual Studio 10 2010). Compiled MATLAB support still with version 2013a (64-bit).</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>
