Hi, it would require the new qgis-deps package with the library updates. We will most likely update the stuff for QGIS 3.22, but if you require this sooner for your project drop me a mail on Peter.petrik@lutraconsulting.co.uk
I agree that LERC is a quite useful GTIFF compression scheme. I also plan to use it more in the future. It would be great if 3.22 could ship with the newer gdal and libtiff that supports LERC.
Another quite important dependency would be GEOS 3.9 or higher, which brings a lot of perfomance and stability optimizations.
geos is already at 3.9.1

Thanks @PeterPetrik this is a very good news. According to the QGIS Roadmap 3.22 should be in October 2021 (cc @ClementAlbinet).
I assume that for QGIS 3.22 the same updates will made also for other binary installers (windows, linux, etc). Is it correct?

The different OS are not in sync regarding the dependencies. As long as we don't ship snap versions, we cannot control the availiability of libraries in the different Linux distributions.
Also, the OSGeo4W and standalone/MSI windows installers follow their own separate paths.
From time to time QGIS is definining "minimum" required library versions though, albeit very conservative ... (mostly because of old Linux distributions).
Chiming in to 👍 LERC support in builds and let people know that they can get LERC support if they use @conda-forge -based QGIS builds right now if they need it.
Thanks @hobu, I was not aware of the @conda-forge -based QGIS builds.
fixed on nightlies, https://qgis.org/downloads/macos/nightly/qgis_nightly_master_20210916_124111.dmg if anyone would like to test?
Confirmed to be working great with https://hobu-lidar.s3.amazonaws.com/iowa/IA_SouthCentral_1_2020-dsm-1m-LERC.tif 👍 🎊
I'm interested in using GeoTIFF data that have been generated using the LERC compression. It seems that the lates QGIS version 3.20.0 (binary installer for Mac OSX) does not support this feature.
AFAIK the LERC compression requires libtiff >= 4.3 and GDAL >= 3.3, so I assume that it is not a QGIS limitation but just a matter of packaging.
What are plans to update libtiff/GDAL and support LERC compressed GeoTIFF data?
