GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library)

GDAL is a translator library for raster and vector geospatial data formats that is released under an X/MIT style Open Source license by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. As a library, it presents a single raster abstract data model and vector abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. It also comes with a variety of useful command-line utilities for data translation and processing. The NEWS page describes the April 2014 GDAL/OGR 1.11.0 release.

Traditionally GDAL used to design the raster part of the library, and OGR the vector part for Simple Features. Starting with GDAL 2.0, both sides have been more tightly integrated. You can still refer to the documentation of GDAL 1.X if needed.  [GDAL Website - June 2014]

GEOS 

GEOS (Geometry Engine - Open Source) is a C++ port of the  Java Topology Suite (JTS). As such, it aims to contain the complete functionality of JTS in C++. This includes all the  OpenGIS Simple Features for SQL spatial predicate functions and spatial operators, as well as specific JTS enhanced topology functions.  [GEOS Website - June 2014]

If, for whatever reason, you would like to use the older versions of the compilers, or other available software, you can simply "unload" the current module and load the older version. See Software Module Information webpage.
