GNU Gama 1.9.05 --- Reporting New Release

[Ales Cepek]

GNU Gama 1.9.05 has been released.  It is available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gama/ and mirrors of that site (see list of
mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html).

GNU Gama is a project dedicated to adjustment of geodetic networks.
The stable branch of the project is limited to 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). In the new branch the adjustment model is based
on geocentric coordinate system (adjustment model on ellipsoid). Its
functionality is  represented by the program `gama-g3'.

Version 1.9.05


    - new revision of Hungariona translation by Zoltan Siki (Budapest
      University of Technology and Economics in Hungary)

    - fixed terminology errors reported by Brona Koska (description of
      left-handed and right-handed coordinates adn angular units)

      Inline function Consistent (defined in gamadata.h) has been
      renamed to GaMaConsistent to reflect its real meaning. (first
      version of gama adjustment was designed for coordinate system with
      left-handed coordinates and right-handed angular observations and
      this combination was supposed to be 'consistent')

    - improved performance of Adj::q_bb(int, int) for sparse matrices

    - fixed a bug in Adj_envelope::q_xx(int, int) brought in version 1.9.03

    - fixed a bug in matvec/vecbase.h (missing test in operator>>)

    - new version of matvec C++ template library is 1.0.00
