  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> 4.5.5 [Nov-1, 2010]
</H2>

<P>
This is again mostly a bug-fix release, and coincides with the availability of <A NAME="tex2html188"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> 5.0.0<IMG
 WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img11.png"
 ALT="$\alpha$">.
Due to a few issues we had an aborted update to 4.5.4 that was never announced; hence the 4.5.5-numbered version.
A few minor improvements have been added:

<P>

<OL>
<LI>The <A NAME="tex2html189"
  HREF="../man/spotter.html"><I><B>spotter</B></I></A><A NAME="2758"></A> supplement now converts geodetic latitudes to geocentric before
doing spherical rotations and recovers geodetic coordinates for output (this new behavior can
be bypassed by setting ELLIPSOID to Sphere).  Thanks to L. M. Matias for pointing this out.
</LI>
<LI>We have added time-axes support for the Hawaiian language (Thanks to Kawika Trang).
