<p>Hi Mathieu,</p>
<p>Thanks a lot. It reads very well!</p>
<p>Something that I'd like to add is that in case of still finding a
bug, users should file issues and to mention proximity of LTR
replacement.<br>

<div>Paolo, here's the draft blog post:</div>

<div>*Public Service Announcement: Update to the latest point
release now*<br>
------<br>
QGIS users who have adopted the 3.10 version when initially
released at the end of October 2019 have likely noticed a
sharp drop in reliability. The underlying issues have now been
addressed in 3.10.2, all users are advised to update *now*.<br>
<br>
When QGIS 3.10 was first released in the end of October 2019,
a pair of libraries – namely GDAL and PROJ – were updated to
their next-generation versions. The advantages are plenty:
GeoPDF export[1] support, more accurate coordinate
transformation, etc. For those interested, more technical
information on this is available here[2].<br>
<br>
The update of these crucial libraries led to a number of
regressions. While we expected some issues to arise, the
seriousness of the disruption caught us off guard. Yet, it was
also somewhat inevitable: QGIS is the first large GIS project
to expose these next-generation libraries to the masses. The
large number of QGIS users across the globe were essentially
stress testing both new code within QGIS as well as the
libraries themselves.<br>
<br>
Thanks to dedicated users taking time to file in report and
the community helping out as well as our project sponsors for
allowing us to fund development time, developers have been
able to fix all known regressions in both in QGIS as well as
underlying GDAL and PROJ libraries, benefiting a large number
of open source projects.<br>
<br>
As a result of this collective effort by the community, QGIS
3.10.2 is now back to being the reliable and stable GIS
software we all love. As such, we cannot stress enough the
important of updating now.<br>
<br>
Once again, thanks to our community of testers, sponsors, and
developers for their countless hours and efforts in making
QGIS better.<br>
<br>
Happy mapping!<br>

<div>Also, once 3.10.2 is updated to include the
updated packages & above-referred fix, I'd
suggest writing a QGIS.org blog post to inform
users of the worthiness of updating to 3.10.2(.2)
*ASAP*, and expand a bit on why 3.10.0/.1 were
such rough releases. We can finish the post by
thanking users that have reported bugs (an
inevitable nightmare to go through as QGIS was
exposing brand new GDAL3/PROJ6 versions to the
masses). IMHO, we should not skip this
communication to our users.<br>

Subject: Urgent: Remove windows 3.10.2 installer
from site<br>
To: qgis-developer <<a href="mailto:qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org</a>><br>
<br>
<br>
Can we please remove the 3.10.2 installer from the
website as a matter<br>
of urgency? This installer was released using the
older gdal 3.0.2 and<br>
proj 6.2 versions, which directly lead to crashes
and reprojection<br>
failures in QGIS.<br>
<br>
QGIS ********************SHOULD NEVER
EVER*********************** be<br>
used with gdal >= 3 and gdal < 3.0.3 or proj
>6 and proj < 6.3.0.<br>
<br>
This combination is a world of hurt for users :(<br>
<br>
Tickets filed at <a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/618" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/618</a>,
and<br>
<a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/617" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/617</a>,
and later today I'm going<br>
to commit cmake blocks which will completely
prevent compilation under<br>
the affected gdal/proj versions.<br>
