Shapelib 1.3.0 alpha 2

[Frank Warmerdam-2]

Folks,

I have been negligent for years in producing a new Shapelib release
despite a bunch of ongoing work - mostly driven by the needs of GDAL/OGR.

I have made a few updates to the web page, including anonymous CVS access
information and a pointer to the alternate download site.

   http://shapelib.maptools.org/

I have also uploaded a 1.3.0 "alpha 2" release at:

   http://download.osgeo.org/shapelib/shapelib-1.3.0a2.zip
   http://download.osgeo.org/shapelib/shapelib-1.3.0a2.tar.gz

I have yet to properly document recent changes, but I'd appreciate feedback
leading up to a formal 1.3.0 release.

Best regards,

Hi Frank,

I tried to build the alpha on windows, and had to fix a snprintf issue
to get things compiling.  Other than that, it seems find ...
Do you want me to commit it to CVS?  If I can find back my credentials,
that is =)

I built the library with VC++ 2008 and it built OK. I also fixed the snprintf issue, I wasn't aware there was already a fix.  Unfortunately not everything works.  I am running under windows 7  and am getting a protected memory violation error on DBFReadStringAttribute().  This sounds similar to a post I saw in March 2008 from two people with a similar error there.

Unfortunately I am not a C++ developer, but a C# developer.  I don't know enough to put together a VC++ debugger to step into the code.  I am using the .Net wrapper provided by someone else.  It was all running fine under XP.  I double checked the wrapper's function signatures and everything matches up, including the structs that are used.  

The C# wrapper included a binary built with an older codebase.  Then under windows 7 the shapelib.dll would not load at all, it threw error messages that the shapelib.dll file could not be found.  I knew it was finding it, so I decided to rebuild it with a newer version, and downloaded the alpha to try.  I followed the instructions for building with VC++, fixed the snprintf issue and now it loads and will accept most calls, but I get the above error.  The rest of the lib calls seem to be OK.

Any ideas?  Is anyone else using the library under windows vista or windows 7?  If someone has a visual studio project already setup that they can send me I can then work on a fix.  I can work with the C code OK, it's been a few years, but I don't know the IDE well enough to setup the project.

If no one else is seeing this or knows of a fix, I will probably replace the dbase calls with C# and ADO.Net in the wrapper since that's what I am familiar with.
