+Summary of important user-visible changes for mapping 1.4.2:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ ** The following functions are new in mapping 1.4.2:
+      almanac
+      areaquad
+      auth2geo
+      con2geo
+      geo2auth
+      geo2con
+      geo2iso
+      geo2rect
+      geodeticarc
+      geodeticfwd
+      iso2geo
+      meridianfwd
+      rect2geo
+      referenceSphere
+      sph_chk
+      vincenty
+      vincentyDirect
+
+ ** Bug fixes
+    - referenceEllipsoid.m: express semimajor axis of Everest 1830 in
+      meters rather than the original 'Indian feet'
+    - kmlread.m: fix typo when reading Point data
+    - shapedraw.m: fix erratic (0, 0) coordinates occurring in plots
+    - shaperead.m: improve reading attributes (bug #61757)
+
+ ** Code improvements
+    - referenceEllipsoid: return no output to screen if called with
+      just 0 (zero) and an output is requested.  Abbreviations for a
+      few ellipsoids were added.
+    - replace validation of input reference ellipsoids by calls to
+      sph_chk.m in several tens of geodesy functions. This makes for
+      a big code reduction but also adds flexibility for inputting
+      reference ellipsoids and/or reference sphere.
