GDAL 3.1.1RC1

GDAL is a translator library for raster and vector geospatial data formats that is released under an X/MIT style Open Source License by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. As a library, it presents a single raster abstract data model and single vector abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. It also comes with a variety of useful command line utilities for data translation and processing.

3.1.1RC123 Jun 2020 22:05 minor feature: Implement RFC 75: support for multidimensional arrays in MEM, VRT, netCDF, HDF4, HDF5 and GRIB drivers. Read/write for MEM and netCDF. Read/only for others. Add gdalmdiminfo and gdalmdimtranslate utilities. Implement RFC 76: add capability of writing vector drivers in Python. New GDAL drivers: COG: write-only, for Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF EXR: read/write driver, relying on OpenEXR library ISG: read-only, for geoid models of the International Service for the Geoid RDB: read-only, for RIEGL Database.mpx RDB 2 files (needs proprietary SDK) .
