GeoDms 8.5.0

From now on, we apply semantic versioning.
This release is compiled with MSVC 17.4.0 compiler flags: no debugging info

Fixed/implemented mantis issues:

• 272 & 261: Error Messages and Failures are cleaned up: a source of an error is more consistently found with F2.
• 315: mitigate/adapt stack overflows
• 318 & 319: MapView error, introduced in 8.045

Breaking change since v8.043:

• gdal_vect column names with special characters are now translated using as_item_name. Earlier versions may have resulted in double occurrences of the underscore character. Dependent code should be adapted.

GeoDms 8.045

Fixes Mantis issues:

• 262: ZoomToExtent,
• 307: getting ViewPortInfo for raster domains that were created with for_each resulted in Illegal Abstract Error (aka Trello PBL GeoDMS #127)
• Diagnostic improvements.
• 317 Diagnostics on invalid ExplicitSupplier references.

Known issue:

• Mantis issue 319: Requesting raster-data in MapView sometimes doesn't complete while data is read correctly according to TableView and statistics representation; this did work in 8.044.

Breaking change since v8.043:

• gdal_vect column names with special characters are now translated using as_item_name. Earlier versions may have resulted in double occurrences of the underscore character. Dependent code should be adapted.

v8.044

• issue 46: large strings ( > 4 GB) in TableView -> Clipboard
• issue 103: UrlDecode
• issue 169: template instantiations with missing domain/values units
• issue 311: Dijkstra fix in too eagerly linking visited network nodes to destination zones.
• issue 316, 307 (WIP), 46, 103, 312, 249,
• column names longer than 64 chars are now allowed in gdal storages and column names with special characters are translated using as_item_name

• issue 157: optional installation for all users
• issue 164: has_any function that reports for each part if it occurs in a given partitioning relation
• issue 173, 313

• gdal_vect column names with special characters are now translated using as_item_name. Earlier versions may have resulted in double occurrences of the underscore character. Dependent code should be adapted.

GeoDms 8.043

Fixed issue 311: the dijkstra function greedily assigned DstZones to the first committed endPoint node, discarding later endPoint Nodes with lower impedance.
This affected only dijkstra calls with endPoint impedances and multiple endPoints per DstZone.

Fixes:

• mantis issue 179,
• mantis issue 164
• mantis issue 169: template instantiation with missing units now continues to instantiate other items.
• gdal ReadDouble 'null' or 0, fss read dataset with 0 rows
• trello issue 142

Includes preview of GeoDmsImGui.exe

dijkstra now has optional verboseLogging
