• PROJ 8.2.0
• GEOS 3.10.0
• libcurl 7.79.1
• hdf5 1.12.1
• Node 17 support and binary packages
• Streams-based API for reading raster data as a stream of pixels
• Asynchronous iterators for all collections that have asynchronous getters
• gdal.info{Async}, gdal.translate{Async},gdal.vectorTranslate{Async} and gdal.warp{Async} - library versions of gdalinfo, gdal_translate, ogr2ogr and gdalwarp
• gdal.calcAsync, an alternative implementation of gdal_calc.py
• gdal.ColorTable implementing GDALColorTable and gdal.RasterBand.colorTable{Async}
• All gdal.RasterBand getters now have an async version
• gdal.RasterBandPixels.clampBlock for handling partial edge blocks
• gdal.RasterBand.colorInterpretationAsync
• gdal.Dataset.getMetadataAsync and gdal.RasterBand.getMetadataAsync
• gdal.Dataset.setMetadata{Async} and gdal.RasterBand.setMetadata{Async}
• gdal.SpatialReference.fromURLAsync, gdal.SpatialReference.fromCRSURLAsync and gdal.SpatialReference.fromUserInputAsync
• gdal.RasterBandOverviews.countAsync, gdal.RasterBandOverviews.getAsync and gdal.RasterBandOverviews.getBySampleCountAsync
• gdal.fromDataType and gdal.toDataType converters between TypedArray constructor and GDAL dataType
• TypeScript bindings now officially support strict: true
• gdal.vsimem.copy allowing to copy a Buffer to GDAL's own memory heap to create an in-memory file extendable by GDAL
• gdal.fs.stat{Async} and gdal.fs.readDir{Async} allowing for querying GDAL VSI filesystem objects

Changed

• Requires GDAL >= 2.1 if rebuilding against a system-installed GDAL library
• (BREAKING) Switch the progress callback of gdal.Driver.createCopy{Async} from a raw argument to an argument inside an object to differentiate it from a result callback when some options are omitted in async mode
• (BREAKING) gdal.RasterBand.noDataValue now returns NaN if the original value was NaN instead of null; when setting it to null it correctly clears the NoDataValue instead of setting it to NaN; one should still exercise care when using NaN as a NoDataValue - since even if the binary representation is defined by IEEE 754, different formats, compilers or architectures may exhibit different behavior
• Fix #16, missing locking for GDAL operations involving multiple datasets when an event loop warning is emitted
• Enable lazy-binding on macOS, meaning that Release builds on all platforms use lazy-binding now
• gdal.Driver.create{Async} now throw if they fail to parse the options instead of returning undefined
• gdal.DatasetBands.create{Async} and gdal.SpatialReference.fromESRI now have correct TypeScript signatures, all options lists are supported either in {object} or in string[] form
• gdal.checksumImage{Async} now throw/reject on error instead of returning 0 if the GDAL method returned an error, but the GDAL method still returns 0 on some errors and does take into account fractional numbers < 1.0
• Fix a memory leak in gdal.Dataset.srsAsync
• Fix a memory leak in the exception-handling path of the progress callbacks
• Fix #13, now two different warnings are emitted whether a dataset is closed by gdal.Dataset.close or it is destroyed by the GC - the former is indicative of a bug in the user application, while the latter is indicative of a bug in gdal-async itself
• Correctly identify all async getters as being read-only in TypeScript
• TypeScript signature and documentation entry for gdal.LayerFields.fromObject, it did not exist before
• Correct TypeScript signatures for all gdal.FeatureFields iterators, they now return any objects instead of a gdal.fieldValue
• Correct TypeScript signature for gdal.Dataset.srs{Async} - now it can be null
• Correct TypeScript signature for gdal.Dataset.geoTransform{Async} - now it can be null
• Correct TypeScript signatures for gdal.RasterBand.id{Async}, gdal.RasterBand.minimum{Async}, gdal.RasterBand.maximum{Async}, gdal.RasterBand.offset{Async}, gdal.RasterBand.scale{Async} - now they can be null
• Correct TypeScript signature for gdal.DatasetLayers.create{Async} - srs and geometry are optional and default to null
• Correct TypeScript signature for gdal.DatasetLayers.copy{Async}, the first argument is of type gdal.Layer
• Correct TypeScript signature for gdal.Layer.setSpatialFilter, it now has two separate signatures, one that accepts a gdal.Geometry|null and another that accepts number, number, number, number
• Correct TypeScript signature for gdal.Layer.setAttributeFilter, it now accepts null as argument
• Correct TypeScript signature for gdal.Feature.setGeometry, it now accepts null as argument
• Correct TypeScript signature for gdal.Geometry.srs, now it can be null
• Correct TypeScript signatures for gdal.SpatialReference.getAuthority{Code,Name}, now they accept null as argument
• Correct TypeScript signatures for gdal.config.set and gdal.config.get, now they can accept/return null
• Correct numerous TypeScript signatures for callback functions to match the return type of the function
• Do not produce persistent temporary files in the unit tests

Added

• Add support for Amazon Linux and restore Ubuntu 16.04 support (glibc 2.23)
• On Linux, build GDAL with ENABLE_UFFD for virtual I/O support on drivers that allow it (currently only NetCDF) to allow accessing NetCDF subdatasets with remote virtual filesystems
