Dear all,

In addition to the new version of PROJ, updated datum grids packages has been released. On top of the existing proj-datumgrids package we have added regional packages with additional grids and init-files that are not essential to the functionality of PROJ, but very useful for PROJ users in those specific regions.

More information on the datumgrid packages can be found at the GitHub repository:
