Relax @EvenRouault . At the end of the day, all those rather ephemeral mind constructions look pretty much the same after a gdal_translate -of COG or ogr2ogr -f GeoPackage (the later being best supplemented with sozip )

There are limits to our good will that some have "precisely" exceeded :-) And our abstraction model doesn't necessarily capture all specialized data models.

Thanks to Hobb Deep, our master builds are now available back on Conda on the "gdal-master" channel. All details at gdal.org/download.html#…. Using bleeding edge GDAL has never been so easy

Try me now on Conda Forge with QGIS ! conda create --name sozip_test conda activate sozip_test conda install -c gdal-master gdal conda install -c conda-forge qgis And with a GeoPackage file: sozip -j out.gpkg.zip /path/to/in.gpkg qgis out.gpkg.zip

All that made possible by us. And practicality of working directly from #shizzle will increase again when sozip reaches your GDAL build

Not yet adopted, but we are already mentioned as a reference implementation!

Thanks to Kikitte Lee for contributing a new raster->vector polygonizer algorithm, that is up to 10 times faster in some cases: github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pul…

#GDAL 3.6.3 RC1 bug fix release available for your testing: lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal…

GDAL 3.6.3 is released: lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal…

Due to docker.com recent move, GDAL Docker images are migrated to ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal{:tagname} : lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal…

@EvenRouault posted a nice summary of the work he has done for the gdal org sponsorship program to the mailing list lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal… Thank you so much to the sponsors for supporting such high impact activities that benefit everyone using GDAL. gdal.org/sponsors/index…

If you use GDAL with Conda, see github.com/conda-forge/gd… for instructions to upgrade your existing environment to recent GDAL builds that now use libjpeg-turbo

#GDAL 3.6.4 is released: lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal…

A GDAL 3.7.0 release candidate is now available for your testing: lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal…. Lots of exciting new stuff !

#GDAL 3.7.0 is released: lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal… . It includes JSON output for ogrinfo, TileDB vector support, reading of FileGeodatabase raster datasets, @sozip (Seek optimized ZIP) read/write support and many other enhancements and fixes.

Blayne Chard from Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand did a bunch of useful research to show that NZ would have no problem using Esri's LERC compression and Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (a.k.a COG) (available in recent gdal org) to store and stream their raster elevation content.

GDAL 3.7.1 is released: lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal…

Just sent another $300+ to OSGeo! Reminder: all proceeds go to support the maintainers of GDAL! And it’s not just shirts - we’ve got hoodies too. my-store-9f5dbe.creator-spring.com/listing/gdal

By the way, we've moved away from this platform as everybody should, right? Find us at mastodon.social/@gdal
