[gdal-dev] GDAL 3.4.0 RC1 available

[Edzer Pebesma]

This may have nothing to do with this RC but more with PROJ, but I found 
it while doing checks with R spatial packages against this RC.

With a CRS shown below, calling OGRSpatialReference->GetName() resulted 
with PROJ 8.0.1 in "UTM Zone 25, Southern Hemisphere" ; with PROJ 8.1.1 
or 8.2.0 it results in "SOURCECRS". Is this intended, or is there a 
problem with the WKT, or an issue somewhere else?
