    - Drawing maps, tracks, waypoints, srtm-data:
        Fix projection setting if map boundaries can not be converted.
        Fix adjusting waypolit lable positions, avoid infinite loops.
        Fix multi-thread locking in waypoint rendering.
        Fix default track color (blue).
        Fix drawing summit labels on tiles (srtm layer).
        Use srtm_bgcolor if picture is out-of-scale
        When drawing tiled maps do not fail at empty images, return color 0
    - Geodata, geo-conversions:
      - Read-only support for Polygon/MultiPolygon features in GeoJSON.
      - New alias: SU<n>N for soviet grid without zone prefix.
    - Creating map references (mkref):
      - Allow floating-point arguments in --mag and --dpi options when creating a map.
      - Add --north option for --mkref=nom.
      - Set default border in "tiles" and "proj" modes.
    - Vector maps:
      - Add `clip` drawing feature: set clipping for all following steps
      - Value of --clip-border setting is not changing then configuring `brd`
        step, it also affects out-of-scale filling.
      - Add `fit_patt_size` drawing option.
      - Always load patterns at original size.
      - Fix a few problems with pattern rendering.
      - Support lable scaling (import/export/rendering).
    - Rendering tiles:
      - Always crop tile range to [0,0,2^z,2^z]
      - Create sub-directories when creating tiles, allow tile templates with subdirs
        (thanks to @ioctl).
      - A few optimizations for creating tile maps (thanks to @ioctl):
        do not create empty tiles, do not re-assemble old tiles in --tmap_scale mode,
        a bit faster color quantization.
    - geo_nom, geo_tiles:
      - ms2nom: -W option: use WGS coordinates in calculations.
      - Fix problems with crossing lon=+180/-180 
      - Add --cover option with figure or geo-file argument (thanks to @ioctl).

    - Reading/writing geodata:
      - use filename as a waypoint list name when reading waypolints from gpx or wpt,
      - fix writing Ozi map files (Projection Setup line),
      - fix reading track comments from GeoJSON.
    - Geodata filtering:
      - add name parameter to --join filter,
      - add --rescale_maps and --shift_maps filters (same as in mapsoft1)
    - Update documentation; add geodata_ru.htm text.
    - Map rendering:
      - add --map_min_sc, --map_max_sc, --map_def_col options,
      - fix and optimize drawing of multiple maps combined in a single map list.
    - ms2view: many tools for editing geodata. Interface is not finished,
      but a few operations are possible: adding/moving/deleting track points,
      adding/moving/deleting/editing waypoints, adding/deleting/editing tracks.
    - Fix error handling in libtiff interface.
    Nov. 15, 2020 Vladislav Zavjalov 1.4-alt1
    - GeoJSON format: add extension for writing/reading maps. Now mapsoft2
      geodata structure can be stored in json without losses.
    - SRTM layer: fix a few problems: parameter dialog, tile drawing,
      coordinate calculation, srtm_width file reading. Add GeoTiff support.
    - Track layer: fix error in color setting. Adding new tracks in the viewer.
    - Map layer: fix handling of map lists with multiple maps, fix a few
      problems with switching different viewer projections.
    - Maps menu: use {/usr/share/,${HOME}/.}mapsoft2/maps_menu.json
      instead of hardcoded list of maps.
    - ms2conv: --srtm option, --htm option. --name, --comm filters.
    - Rendering raster images: --add,--title,--title_size options,
      Fix paths in map-files. Fix --mag option. Fix border handling for
      multiple maps.
    - MapDB: change configuration file format for MP import/export
      (similar to VMAP import/export). Fix error in geohash calculation.
      Fix label rendering (scale max_text_size properly).
    - ANSI escape sequences (\n, \t etc.) and empty words ("") in all
      configuration files (in read_words).
    - Avoid throwing c++ exceptions through c code (in image/io_jpeg,io_tiff),
      remove ExcludeArch: armh.
    - Fix difference between 32- and 64-bit systems (in image/image_remap).
    - Add ms2img program: converting raster images with mapsoft2 libraries.
