If software didn't change between versions, there would be no point in 
releasing new versions :-)

So yes since GDAL 2.3, the shapefile driver now needs to access to the GDAL 
resource .csv files for nominal behaviour. (Actually if they are absent, you 
should still get the same, or similar, result as in 1.11)
