+- update to version 4.8.0
+	- Added the Natural Earth projection.
+	- Added HEALPIX, rHEALPIX and Icosahedral Snyder Equal Area projections.
+	- nad2bin now produces "CTable2" format grid shift files by default which
+  	  are platform independent.
+	- nad2nad removed, use cs2cs for datum shift operations.
+	- projects.h no longer installed as a public include file.  Please try to
+  	  only use proj_api.h.
+	- Add pj_get_spheroid_defn() accessor.
+	- Added an alternate version of pj_init() that takes a projCtx (execution
+ 	  context) structure to address multithreading issues with error management
+  	  and to provide a support for application hookable error reporting and
+  	  logging.
+	- Upgrade to EPSG 7.9.  Some changes in ideal datum selection.
+	- JNI bindings reworked, org.proj4.Projections deprecated in favor of
+  	  org.proj4.PJ.
+	- Added preliminary vertical datum support.
+	- Fix various multithreading issues, particular in datum grid handling code.
+	- Added support for the +axis= option for alternate axis orientations as
+	  part of a coordinate system (used for TM South Orientated support).
+	- +proj=omerc implementatioin replaced with code from libproj4.  +rot_conv
+	  flag no longer works, and some coordinate systems (ie. Malaysian) will
+	  need to use +gamma instead.  "epsg" init file updated accordingly.
