[gdal-dev] GDAL 3.10.0 rc2 available (was Re: GDAL 3.10.0 release candidate is available)

[Roger Bivand]

I've listed four R packages depending on R package sf which show errors in 
checks with 3.10.0 rc1 and rc2, but which are clean with 3.9.3, tested on 
Fedora 40 standard GCC (both 3.9.3 and 3.10.0), GDAL built locally from 
source. The list is an sf github issue: 
https://github.com/r-spatial/sf/issues/2466.

Two are worrying, both failing in sf CPL_area(), one at 
OGRSpatialReference::GetSemiMajor(int*) const () called from 
GetGeodesicAreaOrLength(). I'm assuming that the these failures are more 
likely to be on the sf side, but has anything changed on the GDAL side in 
OGRGeometryCollection::get_GeodesicLength(), 
OGRCurvePolygon::get_GeodesicLength(), OGRLineString::get_GeodesicLength() 
or thereabouts? Assuming any change was intended, the fix probably needs 
to be on the sf side, but insight would be useful.

On the positive side, sf, terra and 1019 of their strong reverse 
dependencies (packages which cannot work without sf/terra and GDAL) passed 
without remark with 3.10.0rc1, which is good!

Best wishes,

Roger
