[gdal-dev] GDAL-GRASS driver 2.0.0 release candidate released

[Nicklas Larsson]

The GDAL-GRASS driver 2.0.0rc1 release provides more than 15 improvements
and fixes with respect to the release 1.0.4.

Notable changes include added support for GDAL 3.12 and removed support
for Autotools build system.

Special note for packagers: the bump of GDAL-GRASS to version 2.x
introduces the potential of version conflicts from the era when the
driver was part of GDAL core. Please take appropriate action to prevent
that from happening.
