1.1.1 Overview of </A><A NAME="tex2html148"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> 4.5.3 [Jul-15, 2010]
</H2>

<P>
This is mostly a bug-fix release, including more corrections to the political boundaries distributed
via the GSHHS netCDF files (these affect the Syria-Israel, Israel-Jordan, Moldova-Ukraine, and the
Eritrea-Ethiopia borders) as well as missing river-lake metadata in the GSHHS distribution.
Therefore, this version requires the new GSHHS 2.1.0 release.

<P>
Here is the list of bug corrections:
<DL>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html149"
  HREF="../man/configure.html"><I><B>configure</B></I></A><A NAME="2686"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>:	Fixed reversed use off -enable-flock.
	
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html150"
  HREF="../man/gmt_init.c.html"><I><B>gmt_init.c</B></I></A><A NAME="2691"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>:	Chop off any eventual EOLs characters that might be in argv
		strings as it will happen when it was created by a shell command.
		We need this so that native Windows binaries can be used in Cygwin.
	
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html151"
  HREF="../man/gmt_io.c.html"><I><B>gmt_io.c</B></I></A><A NAME="2696"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>:	<TT>GMT_is_a_blank_line</TT> saw ``t'' instead of TAB as whitespace.
		Added <TT>GMT_io.skip_duplicates</TT> [FALSE] to control if consecutive
		records with identical x,y should be skipped.  This is needed
		by programs that uses <TT>GMT_sph_inonout</TT>, which does not expect to
		find duplicates vertices.  <TT>GMT_fgets</TT> now checks for input record truncation and handles
		this gracefully (gives warning and winds to next record).
	
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html152"
  HREF="../man/gmt_map.c.html"><I><B>gmt_map.c</B></I></A><A NAME="2705"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>:	Tried to free memory when nothing had been allocated.
		<TT>GMT_wesn_clip</TT> function would clip polygons even though
		there were no restrictions on longitudes (w/e = 360).
	
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html153"
  HREF="../man/gmt_plot.c.html"><I><B>gmt_plot.c</B></I></A><A NAME="2711"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>:	Parallels that should be straight (e.g., in <B>-JI</B>) would sometimes
		appear with jump gaps.  Fixed bug in <TT>GMT_plot_map_scale</TT> that could lead to endless loops
		when using scales to 100 km or any exact power of 10. Error was limited to 64-bit.
	
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html154"
  HREF="../man/gmt2rgb.html"><I><B>gmt2rgb</B></I></A><A NAME="2718"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>:	Option <B>-G</B> was freeing the output name before it was even allocated.
	
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html155"
  HREF="../man/grdcontour.c.html"><I><B>grdcontour.c</B></I></A><A NAME="2724"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>:	The L or H color for first min/max annotation was not set.
		Placement of H and L annotations improved by using centroids.
	
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html156"
  HREF="../man/grdmask.c.html"><I><B>grdmask.c</B></I></A><A NAME="2729"></A></STRONG></DT>

</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html157"
  HREF="../man/grdview.c.html"><I><B>grdview.c</B></I></A><A NAME="2735"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>:	Fixed bug in parsing of <B>-W</B>[m<IMG

 SRC="img11.png"
 ALT="$\vert$">c<IMG
 WIDTH="8" HEIGHT="31" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"

		Check that topo and illumination file have the same size, otherwise it would crash.

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html158"
  HREF="../man/greenspline.c.html"><I><B>greenspline.c</B></I></A><A NAME="2741"></A></STRONG></DT>

<DD>:	Applied scaling to <B>-C</B><I>dx/dy</I> when <B>-Fk</B> was used, despite docs
		saying <B>-C</B> is in meters when <B>-F</B> is used. Fixed, and clarified
		docs/man to say with <B>-F</B>, <B>-C</B> is always in meters.
	
</DD>

  HREF="../man/nearneighbor.c:.html"><I><B>nearneighbor.c:</B></I></A><A NAME="2761"></A></STRONG></DT>

<DD>:	For <B>-Svs</B>, the 2nd set of coordinates did not obey <B>-:</B>.
		The <B>-Sw<IMG
