I just released the stable release of MapWinGIS v5.3

Thanks for this. I have installed it and notice that the version of gdal shipped with MarWinGIS has gone “backwards” at some point. In 5.2.4 it was v2.4.4 and now it is 2.4.3.

It turns out that this was the issue for this WFS issue:

WFS - cannot add layer (JSON error)

Hi @jerryfaust , I originally got that error too (I forgot). I had to add system environment variable “GDAL_HTTP_UNSAFESSL” with value = “YES”. This is actually another issue for me so I’d appreciate advice on how to get it to work without having to do this. I’m not sure if this is something to do with the version of GDAL MapWindow is using. I’ve read something about curl too - is this possible? The data is open data so should work for you. You can either set the system environment variable as…

With 2.4.4 the WFS works, with 2.4.3 it does not.

Is there any reason the gdal version has gone backwards - if not, could it be updated in the installer please?

If I want to use 5.3, can I just copy the 2.4.4 version of gdal204.dll into the folder, or are there more files I need to take too?
