[gdal-dev] GDAL 3.8.3 RC1 is available, and motion to approve it

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

I have prepared an advanced-of-time GDAL/OGR 3.8.3 release candidate, mostly
to fix a 3.8.0 regression that has been reported lately
(https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/8998), that causes content of boolean
fields in GeoPackage or FlatGeobuf datasets to be incorrectly read when 
using
the ArrowArray interface, for example when used as source datasets in 
ogr2ogr
workflows.

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

   https://download.osgeo.org/gdal/3.8.3/gdal-3.8.3rc1.tar.gz
   https://download.osgeo.org/gdal/3.8.3/gdal383rc1.zip

A snapshot of the gdalautotest suite is also available:

The NEWS file is here:

Motion: adopt 3.8.3 RC1 as final 3.8.3 release

Starting with my +1,

Best regards,

Even
