[gdal-dev] GDAL 3.9.0beta1 available for testing

[Even Rouault]

Robert,

If you want to use ready-made binaries, then using Conda gdal-master 
builds might be the easiest way for all major platforms: 
https://gdal.org/download.html#gdal-master-conda-builds . They track 
gdal master, but that's more or less the same as 3.9.0beta1 right now.

Otherwise if you want to build from source, you can take inspiration 
from the build recipe we use for continuous integration:

https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/master/.github/workflows/ubuntu_22.04/Dockerfile.ci
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/master/.github/workflows/ubuntu_22.04/build.sh

(you don't necessarily need all the dependencies)

And as I mentioned, Docker images are building. Should be ready by tomorrow.
