[gdal-dev] Gdal2tiles gains parallel processing features

[Jeremy Palmer]

Thank you for these great improvements Grégory.

I'm wondering does gdal2tiles now support output to GeoPackage to save
storage of tiles on disk? Also how hard would it be to support tile grids
profiles with custom origins and resolutions in the new architecture?

Cheers
Jeremy
