Hi,
On behalf of the GDAL/OGR development team and community, I am pleased to
announce the release of GDAL/OGR 3.7.0. GDAL/OGR is a C++ geospatial data
access library for raster and vector file formats, databases and web
services.
It includes bindings for several languages, and a variety of command line
tools.
