* PAM/VRT: only take into account <Entry> elements when deserializing a \
<ColorTable>

computation due to numerical precision issues when downsampling by an integral \
factor, and also in oversampling use cases (github #156)
* Overview building: add experimental GDAL_OVR_PROPAGATE_NODATA config option \
that can be set to YES so that a nodata value in source samples will cause the \
target pixel to be zeroed. Only implemented for AVERAGE resampling right now

* GMLJP2 v2: update to 2.0.1 corrigendum and add capability to set \
gml:RectifiedGrid/gmlcov:rangeType content. Set SRSNAME_FORMAT=OGC_URL by \
default when converting to GML. Add gml:boundedBy in \
gmljp2:GMLJP2RectifiedGridCoverage
* GMLJP2 v2: ensure KML root node id unicity when converting annotations on the \
fly. When generating GML features, make sure that PREFIX and TARGET_NAMESPACE \
are unique when specifying several documents.
Algorithms:
* RPC transformer: speed-up DEM extraction by requesting and caching a larger \
buffer, instead of doing many queries of just a few pixels that can be costly \
with VRT for example
* GDALDeserializeRPCTransformer(): for consistency, use the same default value \
as in GDALCreateRPCTransformer() if <PixErrThreshold> is missing (so use \
0.1 instead of 0.25 as before)

* GDALCreateGenImgProjTransformer2(): add SRC_APPROX_ERROR_IN_SRS_UNIT, \
SRC_APPROX_ERROR_IN_PIXEL, DST_APPROX_ERROR_IN_SRS_UNIT, \
DST_APPROX_ERROR_IN_PIXEL, REPROJECTION_APPROX_ERROR_IN_SRC_SRS_UNIT and \

* Warper: multiple performance improvements for cubic interpolation and uint16 \
data type
* Warper: add SRC_ALPHA_MAX and DST_ALPHA_MAX warp options to control the \
maximum value of the alpha channel. Set now to 65535 for UInt16 (and 32767 for \
Int16), or to 2^NBITS-1. 255 used for other cases as before
* Warper: avoid undefined behaviour when doing floating point to int \
conversion, that may trigger exception with some compilers (LLVM 8) (#6753)
* OpenCL warper: update cubicConvolution to use same formula as CPU case (#6664)
* OpenCL warper: fix compliance to the spec. Fix issues with NVidia opencl \
(#6624, #6669)

== SWIG Language Bindings ==
All bindings:
* add a options parameter to gdal.ReprojectImage() to pass warp options
* Change ReadRaster and WriteRaster to use GIntBig and the *IOEx-methods
* prevent NULL file pointer from being passed to VSIF*L functions
* make gdal.Rename() accept Unicode strings
* add SpatialReference.GetAxisName() and SpatialReference.GetAxisOrientation() \
(#6441)
* add SpatialReference.GetAngularUnitsName() (#6445)
Java bindings:
* Fix typemap for input parameter of type GIntBig (fixes GetFeature(long), \
DeleteFeature(long), etc...) (#6464)
* Bump minimal java version to 1.5 in case SWIG generates anotations (#6433, \
patch by Bas Couwenberg)
* GNUmakefile: add -f in rm commands
* GNUmakefile: add support for all hardening buildflags
Perl bindings:
* Fix #6050: string formatting in croak.
* Perl Makefile.PL: add support for all hardening buildflags (#5998)
* use strict and warnings in overridden constructors.
* add $VERSION to ogr_perl.i (OGR.pm), which is required by pause.perl.org.
* Add some basic module info for CPAN.
* Bugfix for Geo::OGR::Feature->new().
* Add many utility level algorithms as methods to various classes.
* New class for XML stuff
* New Makefile.PL, which can download and build GDAL. This allows automatic \
testing of the CPAN module.
* Wrap VSIStdoutSetRedirection and allow creating datasets via an object, which \
can write and close.
* Geo::OGR::Driver and Geo::OGR::DataSource are now Perl wrappers for \
respective GDAL classes.
* Add to the error stack also errors from the bindings
* Fix sending utf8 from Perl to GDAL. Should also remove some \
"uninitialized value" warnings.
* ReadTile and WriteTile methods for Dataset, ReadTile accepts now tile size \
and scaling algorithm.
* Improved Parent - Child management.
* Improved support for 64bit ints.
* Measures support in Geometry class.
* Many new tests
Python bindings:
* make Feature.ExportToJson() output boolean value for a boolean field
* support floating point coordinates for the source windows of \
Band.ReadRaster() and Band.ReadAsArray()
* fix build with SWIG 3.0.6 (#6045)
* make gdal.OpenEx() throw a Python exception in case of failed open when \
exceptions are enables with gdal.UseExceptions() (#6075)
* Disable opening a NumPy dataset with a filename returned by \
gdal_array.GetArrayFilename(() unless GDAL_ARRAY_OPEN_BY_FILENAME is set to TRUE
* disable the warning about using deprecated wkb25DBit constant as it uses a \
trick that prevents the bindings from being used by py2exe / pyinstaller (#6364)
