Releases: OSGeo/gdal
GDAL 3.8.0
The 3.8.0 release is a new feature release with the following highlights:
- Add JSONFG read/write vector driver for OGC Features and Geometries JSON.
- Add PMTiles read/write vector driver for PMTiles v3 datasets containing MVT PBF tiles
- Add S102 raster read-only driver for S-102 bathymetric products (depends on libhdf5)
- Add gdal_footprint utility: compute the footprint of a raster file, taking into account nodata/mask band, and generating polygons/multipolygons corresponding to areas where pixels are valid (#6264)
- Python bindings: various enhancements to reduce the number of "gotchas" related to inter-object ownership relationships, and a few syntaxic sugar enhancements
- Arrow interface: improve spatial and attribute filtering on read side; add write side with OGRLayer::WriteArrowBatch()
- GeoPackage: much faster spatial index creation (~ 3-4 times faster)
- ARG driver deprecated: will be removed in 3.9.0
and many other enhancements and fixes as detailed in the release notes

GDAL 3.6.4
Bug fix release. See release notes: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/v3.6.4/NEWS.md
GDAL 3.6.3
Bug fix release. See release notes: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/v3.6.3/NEWS.md
GDAL 3.6.3RC1
v3.6.3RC1 Create tag v3.6.3RC1
GDAL 3.6.2
Bug fix release. See release notes: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/v3.6.2/NEWS.md
GDAL 3.6.1
Bug fix release. See release notes: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/v3.6.1/NEWS.md
Warning: GDAL 3.6.1 officially retracts GDAL 3.6.0 which could cause corruption of the spatial index of GeoPackage files it created (in tables with 100 000 features or more): cf qgis/QGIS#51188 and #6911. GDAL 3.6.1 fixes that issue. Setting OGR_GPKG_ALLOW_THREADED_RTREE=NO environment variable (at generation time) also works around the issue with GDAL 3.6.0. Users who have generated corrupted GeoPackage files with 3.6.0 can regnerate them with 3.6.1 with, for example, "ogr2ogr out_ok.gpkg in_corrupted.gpkg" (assuming a GeoPackage file with vector content only)
