[Info-gama] GNU gama 1.12 -- Reporting new release

[Ales Cepek]

GNU Gama 1.12 has been released.  It is available from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gama/ and mirrors of that site (see list of
mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html). You can use
the following link http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gama/ which automatically
redirects to a "nearby" mirror.

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 1.12

   * class BaseVisitor and related classes moved to separete file visitor.h
   
   * local Observation has protected init method and non-parametric constructor
     Code in local Observation was reorganized and some atributes are not const.
   
   * local observations are visitable (base is Accept<>)
           -  class Direction : public Observation
           +  class Direction : public Accept<Direction, Observation>
      ** local observations' write methods moved to WriteVisitor
      ** LocalRevision and LocalLinearization are now visitors
      ** base classes Revision and Linearization removed from local
      ** method observations_summary in LocalNetworkXML uses visitor for 
counting
      ** method observations in LocalNetworkXML uses visitor for writing
      ** function OutlyingAbsoluteTerms uses visitor for writing
      ** method test_abs_term in LocalNetwork uses visitor for test
      ** local Observation set_passive and set_active methods are now non-const
      ** function AdjustedObservations uses visitor for writing part of table 
row
      ** function TestLinearization uses visitor for computing and writing
      ** function ResidualsObservations uses visitor writing observation name
   
   * fixed a bug in the definition of angular observations reported
     by Anna Kratochvilova <address@hidden> and Vaclav
     Petras <address@hidden>
   
   * updated version of review.hu.lang by Siki Zoltan, some
     corrections in the Hungarian translation of GNU Gama
