Would you look at that? A new #PROJ release just landed!
We're now at 9.7.1. A few bug fixes and the EPSG database has been synced with the latest updates.
@trenner Interesting. Most places that I've seen integrating Jira ticket names use conventions in comments rather than branch names. E.g. 'Closes/Fixes #PROJ-1235-ticket-title' to auto-close, 'Tests for #PROJ-1235-ticket-title', etc.
I've introduced pre-commit checks to ensure there is a Jira ticket pattern in the comment for e.g. SoX provenance compliance (associating code changes with the business requirement).
Seems unnecessary coupling to propagate this to branch names as well.

Dear American #PROJ users, engrave in your memory the following EPSG CRS code: 10968. For the long awaited/feared NATRF2022. That said, for now, there are just a handful of projected CRS for it, and the only datum transformation is to WGS 84 (a null transformation)
Change Management: Managing Change in the Corporate Family
Change is an inevitable force that touches every aspect of our lives, including the intricate dynamics within corporate families.
