After a wee delay, JTS 1.7.2 has been posted to SourceForge.

Enhancements include:

Functionality Improvements

* Added support for EWKB (SRIDs only) to WKBReader
* isValid now checks for invalid coordinates (e.g. ones with Nan or infinite numbers)

Bug Fixes

* Fixed bug in CoordinateArrays.ptNotInList. Changed polygonize.EdgeRing to used corrected code.
* Fixed bug causing duplicate points in ScaledNoder
* Fixed bug causing Null Pointer for empty geometries in OraWriter
* Changed AssertFailure to TopologyException in EdgeNode

This is primarily a bug fix release. Changes include:

Functionality Improvements
Added Hex string conversion to WKBReader and WKBWriter

Bug Fixes
Fixed null point cloning bug in TopologyValidationError (thanks to Markus Gebhard)
Fixed bug in PointLocator fix for LinearRings
Fixed bug in Geometry.isValid and IsValidOp causing some valid polygons to be reported as having a Disconnected Interior (specifically, polygons containing holes touching at a single point, where the point is the highest point in the hole rings, and where the holes have a specific orientation)
Fixed bug in Polygon.isRectangle, which reported some valid rectangles as false ... read more

Includes numerous new features and bug fixes, including:

- improved performance for many operations
- new covers and coveredBy predicates
- new Linear Referencing API
- new WKB I/O classes
- new Oracle Spatial & GML I/O classes

The major features of this release are: an improved CoordinateSequence API supporting mutable sequences; a PackedCoordinateSequence classes to allow minimal memory usage; optimizations to use CoordinateSequences more efficiently; optimized predicates for rectangles. Several important bug fixes are also included.
