Log message:
Upgrade to gdal v1.8.0 (and bump revision of packages that depend on it).
The changes are fully described at
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/Release/1.8.0-News
However, the following are the highlights.
In a nutshell:
* New GDAL drivers : GTX, HF2, JPEGLS, JP2OpenJPEG, JPIPKAK,
KMLSUPEROVERLAY, LOS/LAS, MG4Lidar, NTv2, OZI, PDF, RASDAMAN,
XYZ
* New OGR drivers : AeronavFAA, ArcObjects, GPSBabel, HTF, LIBKML,
MSSQLSpatial, NAS, OpenAir, PDS, PGDump, SOSI, SUA, WFS
* Significantly improved OGR drivers : DXF, GML
* New implemented RFCs:
o RFC 7: Use VSILFILE for VSI*L Functions
o RFC 24: Progressive data support in GDAL
o RFC 28: OGR SQL Generalized Expressions
o RFC 29: OGR Set Ignored Fields
o RFC 30: Unicode Filenames
o RFC 33: GTIFF - Corrected !PixelIsPoint Interpretation
* New utility : gdallocationinfo
Backward compatibility issues:
* MITAB driver: use "," for the OGR Feature Style id: parameter
delimiter, not "." as per the spec. Known impacted application:
MapServer?
* RFC 33 changes the way PixelIsPoint? is handled for GeoTIFF
* GML driver: write valid <gml:MultiGeometry> element instead of
the non-conformant <gml:GeometryCollection>. For backward
compatibility, recognize both syntax for the reading part

Log message:
Update to version 0.17.0.
Changes:
* French Cadastre plugin
* Bing Maps plugin
* GDAL raster background plugin
* Printing and exporting to PDF/raster/SVG
* Extrude interaction for ways
* Filter system
* Toolbar editor (create/modify tollbars)
* Allow to align background image with <SPACE>+pan
* When opening/importing, always fallback to GDAL if available. Allows to open \
most GDAL supported geomtery files.
* Styles : allow to texture areas with an icon
* Auto-add "source" tag when drawing over a background map; define the \
value in the WMS and TMS editors
* New command line options: "--ignore-preferences" && \
"--reset-preferences"
* "--importag-tags-as-is" command-line switch to prevent adding \
underscores to imported tags
* When creating a way or area, press "C" to close the current way
* New preference: "Allow node/way creation in select mode". When \
checked, allows double-click to create a node and double-click on a node to \
start a way in select mode.
* Snap to angle functionality when creating way: keeping "o" pressed \
snap to 45° angles, "h" snap to 30° angles
* Ability to enter and select multiple OSM servers in preferences
* Use Nominatim (http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/) for place name lookup due \
to gazetteer closure
* Support for XAPI
* Allow to rename a layer by double-clicking on its name
* If a shapefile do not provide its projection, ask the user for it and do not crash
* "Set view projection to layer's" action added to image layers; set \
the main projection to the one of the layer
* Tool to align edges to regularly spaced angles (can orthogonalise buildings)
* Join areas tool
* Add a "portable" mode to merkaartor via command-line \
("-p") or build setting ("PORTABLE=1")
* Add a "Find" button to the Feature dock. Press "Reset" to \
revert to list current features.
