    <p>Robert,</p>
    <p>If you want to use ready-made binaries, then using Conda
      gdal-master builds might be the easiest way for all major
      platforms: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gdal.org/download.html#gdal-master-conda-builds">https://gdal.org/download.html#gdal-master-conda-builds</a>
      . They track gdal master, but that's more or less the same as
      3.9.0beta1 right now.</p>
    <p>Otherwise if you want to build from source, you can take
      inspiration from the build recipe we use for continuous
      integration:<br>

    <p>(you don't necessarily need all the dependencies)</p>
    <p>And as I mentioned, Docker images are building. Should be ready
      by tomorrow.<br>

          <br>
          I've prepared a beta1 of GDAL 3.9.0 to get feedback from early
          testers.<br>
          <br>
          The NEWS file is here:<br>
          <br>
             <a

            class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/v3.9.0beta1/NEWS.md</a><br>
          <br>
          For packagers, <br>
          <a
href="https://gdal.org/development/rfc/rfc96_deferred_plugin_loading.html"
            rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true"

          may <br>
          make it more attractive to build some drivers that typically
          have heavy <br>
          dependencies as plugins, installable in separate packages, due
          to the <br>
          load time penalty having being improved. It is let to the
          appreciation <br>
          of packagers to decide which drivers are worth building as
          plugins <br>
          installable in a separate package.<br>
          You may also pass CMake options <br>
([GDAL/OGR]_DRIVER_<driver_name>_PLUGIN_INSTALLATION_MESSAGE=xxx)
          so <br>
          user get a hint of which package they need to install when
          GDAL detects <br>
          that a file may be opened by a plugin which is not available
          on the file <br>
          system but known to have been built as a plugin. Cf <br>
          <a
href="https://gdal.org/development/building_from_source.html#deferred-loaded-plugins"
            rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true"
            class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://gdal.org/development/building_from_source.html#deferred-loaded-plugins</a>
          <br>
          for more details.<br>
          <br>
          For end-users, the following utilities have been updated to
          use a new <br>
          argument parsing framework: gdaladdo, gdalinfo,
          gdal_translate, <br>
          gdalwarp, gdal_grid, gdal_viewshed, gdalbuildvrt, nearblack,
          ogrinfo, <br>
          ogr2ogr, sozip.<br>
          This helps detecting errors such as specifying twice an
          argument that <br>
          should be specified once (where generally the last instance
          was the one <br>
          used). While we have tried to retain backwards compatibility
          for nominal <br>
          use cases, obviously if you have scripts that accidentally
          specify an <br>
          argument several times whereas it should be specified at most
          once, they <br>
          will have to be corrected.<br>
          <br>
          Docker images with 3.9.0beta1 are currently cooking.<br>
          <br>
          master is now marked as 3.10.0dev, and the release/3.9 branch
          has been <br>
          created. All bugfixes for 3.9 should be backported into it.<br>
