GNU gama is a project dedicated to adjustment of geodetic networks.
Network adjustment in a local coordinate system and its functionality
is represented by the program `gama-local', which adjusts geodetic
(free) networks of observed distances, directions, angles, height
differences, 3D vectors and observed coordinates (coordinates with
given variance-covariance matrix).  Global coordinate network
adjustment model is based on geocentric coordinate system (adjustment
model on ellipsoid). Its functionality is represented by the program
`gama-g3'.

Version 1.18

* configure.ac : patch by Greg Troxel <address@hidden>
     CPPFLAGS was set with +=, which is a bash extension and fails on
     POSIX-conforming shells.  This resulted in sqlite3 support not being
     enabled on NetBSD, even though the sqlite3 library was found and
     linked in.
* fixed some minor problems reported by Greg Troxel (doc, NEWS)
* in local/network.cpp commented out // removed_obs.clear();
* fixed a formatting bug in outlaying terms (due to c++11)
* fixed a bug in HTML parser test
* simplified class LocalPoint
* fixed a bug in sql export reported by Dominik Hladik
* added @documentencoding UTF-8 into gama.texi
