Almost all of the frameworks have been updated.

• GDAL 1.11.3
• PROJ 4.9.2
• SQLite 3.8.11.1 with Spatialite 4.3
• UnixImageIO 1.5.1 — includes updated libtiff 4.0.6, libpng 1.5.23, libgeotiff 1.4.1, openjpeg 2.1

Many python modules have been updated:

• Numpy 1.9.2
• Scipy 0.16.0
• Matplotlib 1.4.3

NOTE: Numpy and Scipy are now 64bit-only. Do not update these if you use them in GRASS, because GRASS currently runs python in 32bit mode.

QGIS 2.10 released. See the changelog for what’s new.

After some distractions and chasing a phantom problem, Postgres 9.4.4 is ready. PostGIS and pgRouting extensions have been rebuilt for the new Postgres. Make sure to read the upgrade instructions.

QGIS 2.8.2. Bug fixes.

Postgres 9.3.6 and PostGIS 2.1.7.

Part 3 will bring Postgres 9.4, a major update. Sometime in the coming week or so, while I look at new features and test the upgrade process.

PROJ 4.9.1 is the main update in the frameworks. I also updated to SQLite3 3.8.9.0. And finally I updated Shapely in the GEOS framework, and refreshed the GEOS build. (This takes care of the last Snow Leopard remnants, all maintained frameworks are now Lion minimum.)

I haven’t used GRASS in years. QGIS is my tool now, and where I work.

So, I won’t be packaging GRASS any more, starting with GRASS 7. Check the GRASS website for other sources of Mac packages, Michael Barton will be doing the standard Mac packages.

I may package 6.4.5 when it is released.

I will still bundle GRASS in QGIS for use by QGIS.

QGIS 2.8.1 is finally available. See the QGIS 2.8 Changelog for details.

Along with this is an update to GDAL 1.11.2.

The GDAL-ECW plugin has been updated for the latest ECW SDK, and the installation clarified. If you are updating your plugin, make sure to install the latest ECW SDK as well.

The GDAL framework 1.6 had a libtool linking problem with the programs where they were looking for a library in GDAL 1.5. This is a problem when only GDAL 1.6 is installed, of course. Fixed.
