That would be true: you could replace the .so of GDAL 3.0 by the one of 3.1 if the library/application that link to GDAL only use the C ABI. But given that the .so name will change, you'll probably have to recompile it anyway, unless you (ab)use symlinks tricks. -- Spatialys - Geospatial professional services http://www.spatialys.com
