[gdal-dev] GDAL 3.8.2 RC1 is available, and motion to approve it

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

I have prepared an advanced-of-time GDAL/OGR 3.8.2 release candidate, mostly
to fix a 3.8.0 regression that has been reported lately
(https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/8967), which caused an excessive 
use of
RAM when translating a VRT with many VRTComplexSource (typically used when
nodata or mask are involved), making such use cases unworkable.

Pick up an archive among the following ones (by ascending size):

A snapshot of the gdalautotest suite is also available:

The NEWS file is here:

Motion: adopt 3.8.2 RC1 as final 3.8.2 release

Starting with my +1,

Best regards,

Even
