Subject: [Geotiff] Libgeotiff 1.2.4 Released

Folks,

I have prepared a libgeotiff 1.2.4 release at:

   http://download.osgeo.org/geotiff/libgeotiff/libgeotiff-1.2.4.tar.gz
   http://download.osgeo.org/geotiff/libgeotiff/libgeotiff124.zip

The main change is an upgrade to the EPSG 6.13 tables, and a change in
the processing to avoid applying any custom overrides directly to the
EPSG tables.  The overrides (mainly used by software such as GDAL and PROJ.4)
are still available in override files call pcs.override.csv and
gcs.override.csv.

EPSG 6.13 includes a new data distribution terms and in combination with
care to not modify the data values it clears up some legality issues with
past distributions of the EPSG in csv tables.  As such, 1.2.4 *should*
be adopted fairly promptly by anyone distributing the CSV files with
open source or proprietary software.
