# GDAL/OGR 3.6.0 Release Notes

Those notes include changes since GDAL 3.5.0, but not already included in a GDAL \ 
3.5.x bugfix release.

## In a nutshell...

* CMake is the only build system available in-tree. autoconf and nmake build \ 
systems have been removed
* OpenFileGDB: write and update support (v10.x format only), without requiring \ 
any external dependency, with same (and actually larger) functional scope as \ 
write side of the FileGDB driver
* [RFC 86](https://gdal.org/development/rfc/rfc86_column_oriented_api.html): \ 
Column-oriented read API for vector layers.
  Implemented in core, Arrow, Parquet, GPKG and FlatGeoBuf drivers
* Add read/write raster [JPEGXL \ 
driver](https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/jpegxl.html) for standalone JPEG-XL \ 
files. Requires libjxl
* Add KTX2 and BASISU read/write raster drivers for texture formats. Require \ 
(forked) basisu library
* Vector layer API: table relationship discovery & creation, Upsert() operation
* GeoTIFF: add multi-threaded read capabilities (reqiures NUM_THREADS open \ 
option or GDAL_NUM_THREADS configuration option to be set)
* Multiple performance improvements in GPKG driver
* ogr_layer_algebra.py: promoted to official script (#1581)
* Code linting and security fixes
* Bump of shared lib major version

Log message:
geography/gdal: Convert py-gdal to wheel.mk (not autoconf)

Use wheel.mk for py-gdal, mostly straightforwardly.

Move many things not needed for py-gdal from Makefile.common to gdal's
Makefile.

Log message:
geography/gdal: Convert to cmake

In general, avoid adding dependencies and rototilling, in favor of a
straight build system conversion.  A notable exception is adding
spatialite, because that is easier than fixing the cmake spatialite
support not to error out.  (Other fixes to follow once the conversion
is ok.)

gdal-lib:

Straightforward use of cmake vs autoconf.

Add cmake args to disable finding things that happen to be installed
but are not bl3d.

Attempt to convert CONFIGURE_ARGS to cmake, confounded by some of them
perhaps being out of date and some of them not having clear analogs.
Accept some fuzz on the theory that things were likely not 100% right
earlier and it's going to change with updates.

Drop patch for png16 rename; cmake finds that ok by itself.

Withdraw include/cpl_odbc.h because cmake does so, and call it ok
without a revbum because we aren't (and weren't) building odbc so it
is nonsensical for any other package to have used it.

cmake installs man pages and bash completion scripts.  Roll with it vs
trying to make this like before, as those changes are not confounding
or hard to debug.

py-gdal:

Continue to use autoconf, and add commented-out cmake config.

Update committed to capture partial progress and have others test
earlier rather than later as we head to further updates.

Log message:
geography/gdal-lib: GC jasper references

configure says that --without-jasper is not (no longer) valid.

Log message:
geography/gdal-lib: Modernize USE_LANGUAGES

Simply migrate to USE_C_FEATURES and USE_CXX_FEATURES.

Log message:
*: recursive bump for gnutls p11-kit option

(existing installations need the bl3.mk included, but it's now only
optionally included)

Log message:
gdal-lib: fix build with libxml2 2.12.

Log message:
*: recursive bump for icu 74.1
