GDAL 2 #41

Closed wonder-sk closed 7 years ago

wonder-sk commented 8 years ago

It may be sensible to migrate QGIS 3 code to use GDAL 2 so we can remove any legacy code using GDAL 1.x APIs and make assumptions that new features from 2.0 are always present.

So have a hard dependency on GDAL > 2.0? I'd love this, but have my doubts that all our target platforms will have this dependency ready by the time we release 3.0.

Eg, looks like Ubuntu 16.04 LTS has unfortunately missed the cut: https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2016-March/043906.html

IMHO we can safely move. The Ubuntu situation can be fixed with backports.
