  • Add gdal.Dataset.srsAsync
  • Add gdal.Dataset.geoTransformAsync
• Add gdal.DatasetBands.getEnvelope()
• Add gdal.vsimem.set and gdal.vsimem.release allowing to load and unload files between a Buffer and GDAL's in-memory vsimem file system
• Add gdal.Geometry.makeValid{Async}()

Changed

• Correctly measure the wall time for the event loop warnings

[3.3.1] 2021-06-17

Changed

• gdal.DatasetLayers.get{Async}() now throws an Error if an invalid layer is requested instead of returning a null object
• gdal.FeatureDefnFields.get{Async}() now throws an Error if an invalid field definition is requested instead of returning a null object
• gdal.FeatureFields.get{Async}() now throws an Error if an invalid field is requested instead of returning a null object
  • it can still return null if the field exists in the definition but it is not set in the feature
• gdal.GDALDrivers.get() now throws an Error if an invalid driver is requested instead of returning a null object
• gdal.GeometryCollectionChildren.get() now throws an Error if an invalid sub-geometry is requested instead of returning a null object
• gdal.LayerFeatures.get{Async}() now throws an Error if an invalid feature is requested instead of returning a null object
• gdal.LayerFields.get{Async}() now throws an Error if an invalid field is requested instead of returning a null object
• gdal.LineStringPoints.get() now throws an Error if an invalid point is requested instead of returning a null object
• gdal.PolygonRings.get() now throws an Error if an invalid ring is requested instead of returning a null object
• All gdal.Geometry methods that return a gdal.Geometry throw an Error on error instead of returning a null object
• Fix #6, a case of sleeping in the GC while destroying the sibling of an object with an active asynchronous operation
• Fix a potential race condition in the object store
• Fix several potential race conditions in gdal.RasterBand
• Correctly throw an Error with an empty message if a GDAL method fails without setting the error message instead of the last previously encountered error

[3.3.0] 2021-06-15

Added

• GDAL 3.3.0
• Read-only support of the new Multidimensional Raster Data Model introduced in GDAL 3.1, requires GDAL >= 3.1
• NetCDF, GRIB, HDF5, Carto, FlatGeobuf, WMS, WMTS and WCS drivers
• Support generalized strides in gdal.RasterBandPixels.{write|read}()
• Add gdal.RasterBandPixels.{set|get}Async()
• Add gdal.RasterBand.computeStatisticsAsync
• Add an explicit stderr warning when the GC has to active sleep on an async operation and solve all (known) occurrences
• Add an explicit stderr warning when user code is calling a synchronous method while an asynchronous operation is running in the background

Changed

• Vastly improved locking mechanism allowing better parallelization
• Linux release builds have lazy binding enabled
• gdal.DatasetBands.get{Async}() now throws an Error if an invalid band is requested instead of returning a null object
• Completely reworked persistent object storage
• Thread-safe gdal.RasterBand.fillAsync
• Fix a number of cases where an unreferenced gdal.Dataset was not protected from the GC during an asynchronous operation

Removed

• Drop support for linking against a system-installed GDAL 1.x library
• Drop support for Ubuntu 16.04
• Drop support for Node.js 10.x and 15.x
• Drop support for Python 2
• Drop support for the drivers removed in GDAL 3.3: AeronavFAA, BNA, E00Grid, HTF, OpenAir, SEGUKOOA, SEGY, SUA and XPlane

[3.2.3] 2021-06-03

Added

• Add async versions of gdal.Layer.flush, gdal.RasterBand.flush and gdal.RasterBand.fill

Changed

• Fix #1, locking on some gdal.Layer operations: flush, getExtent, testCapability, setSpatialFilter, getSpatialFilter and most scalar getters

[3.2.2] 2021-05-25

Changed

• Fix a failing unit test on GDAL 1.x (no effect on the bindings)
• Fix another randomly failing unit test (no effect on the bindings)

[3.2.1] 2021-05-24

Changed

• Fix a number of memory leaks (exception throwing paths in all gdal.SpatialReference.from*, gdal.DatasetBands.create)

[3.2.0] 2021-05-21

Added

• GDAL 3.2.3
• Built-in vsicurl and major cloud services (Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Alibaba) support on all platforms
• Support async_hooks
• Support progress callbacks
• Support different algorithms when resampling on-the-fly
• Add gdal.Geometry.fromGeoJsonBuffer(Async)(), a completely parallelizable alternative to gdal.Geometry.fromGeoJson() for importing large GeoJSON geometries without blocking the event loop
• Add gdal.LayerFeatures.setAsync()

Changed

• gdal.Geometry.fromGeoJson now throws an Error on error instead of simply returning a null geometry

  Previously all gdal.Geometry.from* functions except fromGeoJson threw undocumented errors, now all of them, including fromGeoJson throw documented errors
