Robert,

If you want to use ready-made binaries, then using Conda gdal-master builds might be the easiest way for all major platforms: https://gdal.org/download.html#gdal-master-conda-builds . They track gdal master, but that's more or less the same as 3.9.0beta1 right now.

Otherwise if you want to build from source, you can take inspiration from the build recipe we use for continuous integration:

https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/master/.github/workflows/ubuntu_22.04/Dockerfile.ci
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/master/.github/workflows/ubuntu_22.04/build.sh

(you don't necessarily need all the dependencies)

And as I mentioned, Docker images are building. Should be ready by tomorrow.

Any advice on how to become a tester such as testing on prefered OS and setup?

I have access to a proxmox server but I usually stick to LINUX OSes.

Or is at easy as following the notes here:
https://gdal.org/development/dev_environment.html

Ubuntu 22.x is the goto right now.

Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi,

    I've prepared a beta1 of GDAL 3.9.0 to get feedback from early
    testers.

    The NEWS file is here:

    https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/v3.9.0beta1/NEWS.md

    For packagers,
    https://gdal.org/development/rfc/rfc96_deferred_plugin_loading.html
    may
    make it more attractive to build some drivers that typically have
    heavy
    dependencies as plugins, installable in separate packages, due to the
    load time penalty having being improved. It is let to the
    appreciation
    of packagers to decide which drivers are worth building as plugins
    installable in a separate package.
    You may also pass CMake options
    ([GDAL/OGR]_DRIVER_<driver_name>_PLUGIN_INSTALLATION_MESSAGE=xxx) so
    user get a hint of which package they need to install when GDAL
    detects
    that a file may be opened by a plugin which is not available on
    the file
    system but known to have been built as a plugin. Cf
    
https://gdal.org/development/building_from_source.html#deferred-loaded-plugins

    for more details.

    For end-users, the following utilities have been updated to use a new
    argument parsing framework: gdaladdo, gdalinfo, gdal_translate,
    gdalwarp, gdal_grid, gdal_viewshed, gdalbuildvrt, nearblack, ogrinfo,
    ogr2ogr, sozip.
    This helps detecting errors such as specifying twice an argument that
    should be specified once (where generally the last instance was
    the one
    used). While we have tried to retain backwards compatibility for
    nominal
    use cases, obviously if you have scripts that accidentally specify an
    argument several times whereas it should be specified at most
    once, they
    will have to be corrected.

    Docker images with 3.9.0beta1 are currently cooking.

    master is now marked as 3.10.0dev, and the release/3.9 branch has
    been
    created. All bugfixes for 3.9 should be backported into it.
