    proj: Update to 5.0.0

    5.0.0 Release Notes
    -------------------

    This version of PROJ introduces some significant extensions and
    improvements to (primarily) the geodetic functionality of the system.

    The main driver for introducing the new features is the emergence of
    dynamic reference frames, the increasing use of high accuracy GNSS,
    and the related growing demand for accurate coordinate
    transformations.  While older versions of PROJ included some geodetic
    functionality, the new framework lays the foundation for turning PROJ
    into a generic geospatial coordinate transformation engine.

    [see upstream NEWS]

     UPDATES
     -------

     o Introduced new API in proj.h.
       - The new API is orthogonal to the existing proj_api.h API and the
         internally used projects.h API.
       - The new API adds the ability to transform spatiotemporal (4D)
         coordinates.
       - Functions in the new API use the "proj_" namespace.
       - Data types in the new API use the "PJ_" namespace, with a few
         historic exceptions such as XY, XYZ, LP and LPZ.

     o Introduced the concept of "transformation pipelines" that makes it
       possible to do complex geodetic transformations of spatiotemporal
       coordinates by daisy chaining simple coordinate operations.

     o Introduced cct, the Coordinate Conversion and Transformation
       application.

     o Introduced gie, the Geospatial Integrity Investigation Environment.
       - Selftest invoked by -C flag in proj has been removed
       - Ported approx. 1300 built-in selftests to gie format
       - Ported approx. 1000 tests from the gigs test framework
       - Added approx. 200 new tests

     o Adopted terminology from the OGC/ISO-19100 geospatial standards
       series. Key definitions are:
       - At the most generic level, a *coordinate operation* is a change
         of coordinates, based on a one-to-one relationship, from one
         coordinate reference system to another.
       - A *transformation* is a coordinate operation in which the two
         coordinate reference systems are based on different datums, e.g.
         a change from a global reference frame to a regional frame.
       - A *conversion* is a coordinate operation in which both
         coordinate reference systems are based on the same datum,
         e.g. change of units of coordinates.
       - A *projection* is a coordinate conversion from an ellipsoidal
         coordinate system to a plane. Although projections are simply
         conversions according to the standard, they are treated as
         separate entities in PROJ as they make up the vast majority
         of operations in the library.

     o New operations:
       - The pipeline operator (pipeline)
       - Transformations:
         + Helmert transform (helmert)
         + Horner real and complex polynomial evaluation (horner)
         + Horizontal gridshift (hgridshift)
         + Vertical gridshift (vgridshift)
         + Molodensky transform (molodensky)
         + Kinematic gridshift with deformation model (deformation)
       - Conversions:
         + Unit conversion (unitconvert)
         + Axis swap (axisswap)
       - Projections:
         + Central Conic projection (ccon)

     o Significant documentation updates, including
       - Overhaul of the structure of the documentation
       - A better introduction to the use of PROJ
       - A complete reference to the new proj.h API
       - a complete rewrite of the section on geodesic calculations
       - Figures for all projections

     o New "free format" option for operation definitions, which
       permits separating tokens by whitespace when specifying key/value-
       pairs, e.g. "proj = merc lat_0 = 45".

     o Added metadata to init-files that can be read with the
       proj_init_info() function in the new proj.h API.

     o Added ITRF2000, ITRF2008 and ITRF2014 init-files with ITRF
       transformation parameters, including plate motion model
       parameters.

     o Added ellipsoid parameters for GSK2011, PZ90 and "danish". The
       latter is similar to the already supported andrae ellipsoid,
       but has a slightly different semimajor axis.

     o Added Copenhagen prime meridian.

     o Updated EPSG database to version 9.2.0.

     o Geodesic library updated to version 1.49.2-c.

     o Support for analytical partial derivatives has been removed.

     o Improved performance in Winkel Tripel and Aitoff.

     o Introduced pj_has_inverse() function to proj_api.h. Checks if an
       operation has an inverse. Use this instead of checking whether
       P->inv exists, since that can no longer be relied on.

     o ABI version number updated to 13:0:0.

     o Removed support for Windows CE.

     o Removed the VB6 COM interface.
