Where is downloader for libkml version 1.3? #161

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
User guide / Release notes are out for version 1.3 on the wiki (as of March 
2010) and the source browser (svn) looks to be v1.3 but there is no downloader 
(tgz) for version 1.3

Please add libkml-1.3.0.tar.gz to the "Downloads" tab.

Like many projects, we keep a rolling "next version" doc in the source tree. 
There hasn't been a 1.3 release; when there is we'll mark the 1.3 wiki as 
featured (which will make it appear on the main project page) and deprecate 1.2.

The biggest gating item to a release is (as ever) Windows support. Plenty of 
opportunities for heroism there for anyone who's interested...

Why is 1.3 waiting on a Windows port?

Seems plenty of important geospatial projects (for example gdal and ogr2ogr) no 
longer work with 1.2.   And that has lead many projects (for example debian) to 
package a fork of trunk as a claimed 1.3 ( 
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libkml-dev ).

Apparently they need to maintain their forks partially because the 1.2 
release's makefiles order of libraries is wrong, and won't build with the 
"--as-needed" linker flags: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=605889

Considering it's been over 2 years since that comment suggesting that people 
have been waiting for 1.3;  how about just merge in that debian compilation 
patch and release it as 1.3; (or 1.2.9 or whatever, so long as it gets 
released).

Please release libkml 1.3.0. gdal's libkml support requires it. Package 
management systems like MacPorts that prefer to track stable versions are 
unlikely to update libkml to an unstable development version to accommodate 
this.

There has been no response from google for a long time regarding libkml 
development. So we tried to move the sources to github as ab effort-to-try-keep 
this library alive. Even though dont know for how long this could go..

I think it is possible to tag a new release on libkml github page? perhaps 1.3.1

Any thoughts?
