Hi,

I've prepared a beta2 of GDAL 3.9.0 as there have been a few non-trivial

* Docker: update ubuntu-small and ubuntu-full to 24.04
* TileDB: migrate away from deprecated APIs, and bump minimum version to 
2.15

building {plugin}_core targets
* CMake: fix generated find_dependency
* Miramon: various fixes

SRC_METHOD=NO_GEOTRANSFORM. Fixes failure on rasterio 
tests/test_warpedvrt.py::test_transformer_options__width_height

GEOMETRY_ENCODING=GEOARROW_INTERLEAVED, and test spatial filtering of 
that encoding (qgis#57228)
* OGRLayer::WriteArrowBatch(): add tolerance for field type mismatches 
if int32/int64/real; Also add an option IF_FIELD_NOT_PRESERVED=ERROR to
