GEOS (Geometry Engine - Open Source) is a C++ port of the

as well as specific JTS enhanced topology functions.

CHANGES
Latest upstream release
https://trac.osgeo.org/geos/browser/git/NEWS?rev=3.8.0

NOTES
SONAME bump for C++ interface is a peculiar design decision
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/geos-devel/2017-January/007643.html

The C++ Library is only used by the C Library that has stable API,
Application should only use the C Interface.
