[gdal-dev] GDAL 3.10.0 beta1 available for testing

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

I've prepared a beta1 of GDAL 3.10.0 to get feedback from early testers, for
the following next 2 weeks before the release candidate.
For 3.9.0beta1 we got useful feedback, so let's do it again.

The NEWS file is here:

   https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/v3.10.0beta1/NEWS.md

For end-users, the following utilities have been updated to use a new 
argument parsing framework: gdal_contour, gdallocationinfo, gdaltindex,
ogrtindex, gdal_footprint, gdal_create, gdalmdiminfo, gdalmdimtranslate, 
gdaldem, gdalmanage, ogrlineref, gdal_rasterize.
Your testing that no regression have been introduced in the process 
would be appreciated.

For packagers using GDAL_BUILD_OPTIONAL_DRIVERS=OFF or 
OGR_BUILD_OPTIONAL_DRIVERS=OFF, check the first item of 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/release/3.10/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT

Please file tickets at https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues for issues 
you'd find.

master is now marked as 3.11.0dev, and the release/3.10 branch has been 
created. All bugfixes for 3.10 should be backported into it.

Docker -latest images are just a couple days behind 3.10.0beta1 and 
should be a good start for testing:
- ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:alpine-small-latest
- ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:alpine-normal-latest
- ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:ubuntu-small-latest
- ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:ubuntu-full-latest

Not totally sure if I'll create 3.10.0beta1 Docker images (I must first 
manage to fully generate 3.9.3 ones. Struggling with arm64 cross 
compilation for Ubuntu)
