Hi,

On behalf of the GDAL/OGR development team and community, I am pleased to announce the release of GDAL/OGR 3.12.0 "Chicoutimi". 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.

http://gdal.org/

The 3.12.0 release is a new feature release with the following highlights:

* New 'gdal' command line interface capabilities:
  - Add 'gdal raster as-features' (#12970)
  - Add 'gdal raster blend' (port of hsv_merge.py + regular alpha blending)
  - Add 'gdal raster compare' (port of gdalcompare.py) (#12757)
  - Add 'gdal raster neighbors' (#12768)
  - Add 'gdal raster nodata-to-alpha' (#12524)
  - Add 'gdal raster pansharpen' (port of gdal_pansharpen.py)
  - Add 'gdal raster proximity' (#12350)
  - Add 'gdal raster rgb-to-palette' (port of rgb2pct.py)
  - Add 'gdal raster update'
  - Add 'gdal raster zonal-stats'
  - Add 'gdal vector check-coverage'
  - Add 'gdal vector check-geometry'
  - Add 'gdal vector clean-coverage'
  - Add 'gdal vector index' (port of ogrtindex)
  - Add 'gdal vector layer-algebra' (port of ogr_layer_algebra.py)
  - Add 'gdal vector make-point'
  - Add 'gdal vector partition'
  - gdal vector pipeline: add limit step
  - Add 'gdal vector set-field-type'
  - Add 'gdal vector simplify-coverage'
  - Add 'gdal mdim mosaic' (#13208)
  - Add 'gdal dataset' port of 'gdal manage'
  - Make 'gdal pipeline' support mixed raster/vector pipelines
  - Pipeline: add support for nested pipeline (#12874)
  - Pipeline: add support for a 'tee' step (#12874)
  - Move 'gdal vector geom XXXX' utilities directly under 'gdal vector'
  - Rename 'gdal vector geom set-type' as 'gdal vector set-geom-type'
  - gdal raster reproject: add a -j/--num-threads option and default to ALL_CPUS
  - Make 'gdal raster fill-nodata/proximity/sieve/viewshed' pipeline-able
  - gdal raster mosaic/stack: allow it to be the first step of a raster pipeline   - gdal pipeline: allow to run an existing pipeline and override/add parameters
  - Improved Bash completion
  - Python bindings: add a dynamically generated 'gdal.alg' module
    (e.g. ``gdal.alg.raster.convert(input="in.tif", output="out.tif")``)
  - Many other improvements to existing utilities (see below)

Other topics

* VRT pixel functions: Add mean, median, geometric_mean, harmonic_mean, mode
   (#12418), and handle NoData values
* Add C/C++/Python API for [raster band algebra](https://gdal.org/en/latest/user/band_algebra.html):
  arithmetic operators, comparison operators, AsType(),
  gdal::abs()/sqrt()/log10()/log()/min()/max()/mean()/IfThenElse() functions
* Add MiraMon raster driver: read-only support (#12293)
* ADBC driver: support for ADBC BigQuery driver (requires BigQuery ADBC driver)
* JSONFG driver: add read/write support for curve and measured geometries;
  update to 0.3.0 spec
* Parquet: add update support using OGREditableLayer mechanism
* Add C++ public header files for raster functionality
* Security: avoid potential path traversal in several drivers
* Various code linting, static code analyzer fixes, etc.
* Significant automation of the release process
* Add Docker attestation (#13066)
* Bump of shared lib major version
* [RFC 104](https://gdal.org/en/latest/development/rfc/rfc104_gdal_cli.html): <b>Adding a "gdal" front-end command line interface</b>.   - See the [list of commands](https://gdal.org/en/latest/programs/index.html#gdal-application)   - Includes new "gdal raster calc" and "gdal raster resclassify" utilities.   - "gdal raster tile", C++ port of gdal2tiles, runs faster (3x to 6x in some cases)   - Includes "gdal vsi list/copy/delete/move/sync" (ports of Python sample scripts)
  - Includes "gdal driver {driver_name}" for driver-specific commands.
  - Includes smart Bash autocompletion
  - Includes C, C++, Python API
* Add [GDALG](https://gdal.org/en/latest/drivers/vector/gdalg.html) (GDAL Streamed Algorithm Format) driver: reading of on-the-fly / streamed vector dataset replaying compatible "gdal" command lines (kind of VRT).

Note the ".post1" suffix. The initial 3.12.0 was unfortunately corrupted due to
a hickup in the new release process.

  * ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:ubuntu-full-3.12.0
  * ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:ubuntu-small-3.12.0

PS1: Packager comparing rc1 to final will notice a slight difference in
content for the dates of the manpages, due to the generation of tarballs now being triggered
on tag push.
