| 3 | * Raster / Vector format geospatial data access library (1.7 ABI) |
| 4 | * This package tracks the 1.7 branch of GDAL/OGR, and will maintain C/C++ ABI compatibility to the 1.6 ABI indefinately. However, it is not compatible with the 1.5 ABI used by the primary GDAL package. |
| 5 | * Currently all in one package for libraries, commands and docs. |
| 6 | * The gdal-17 package unpacks in ''osgeo4w''\apps\gdal-17 and does not disturb the normal gdal package. To actually use the gdal-17 package, run the "gdal17.bat" script in the OSGeo4W console window. |
| 7 | * Note that while running the "gdal17.bat" script makes it possible to use the gdal-1.7.x utilities (like gdal_translate) it does '''not''' affect the other GDAL using programs like MapServer, or OpenEV which will continue to use the GDAL from the standard [wiki:pkg-gdal]. |
| 8 | * Maintainer is FrankWarmerdam (built in C:/warmerda/osgeo4w/gdal-1.7-branch on BigWinNT VM). |
