GDAL 3.5.0

• RFC 84:
  Addition of a CMake build system, which deprecates the existing
  autoconf/automake and nmake build systems, that will be removed
  in GDAL 3.6.0. Users are encouraged to adopt the new CMake build system.
  Documentation of the CMake build system is at
  https://gdal.org/build_hints.html.
• Add GDT_Int64 and GDT_UInt64 data types and handle them in MEM, GTiff, netCDF and Zarr drivers
• Add read/write OGR Parquet (Apache Parquet) and Arrow (Apache Arrow IPC File/Feather or stream) drivers. Only in CMake builds
• Add OGR HANA database driver. Only in autoconf & cmake builds
• Removed drivers: RDA, JPEG2000 (Jasper-based), CharLS, MG4 LIDAR, FujiBAS, IDA, INGR, ARCGEN, ArcObjects, CouchDB, Cloudant, DB2, FME, Geomedia, MDB (Java Jackess based), GTM, Ingres, MongoDB (old one. MongoDBv3 is the one to use now), REC, Walk, GMT raster, DODS raster and vector
• GDAL and OGR GRASS drivers moved to https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal-grass repository
• Tiger: remove deprecated write side of the driver (#4216)
• Remove deprecated SWIG Perl bindings
• Code linting and security fixes
• Bump of shared lib major version

GDAL 3.4.0

• RFC 81:
  Support for coordinate epochs in geospatial formats.
  Implemented in FlatGeoBuf, GeoPackage, MEM, VRT
• New GDAL drivers:
  • Zarr:
    read/write support for ZarrV2 (and experimental V3), using 2D classic raster
    API or multidimensional API:
  • STACIT:
    Spatio-Temporal Asset Catalog Items as virtual mosaics
• Other improvements:
  • number of enhancements in file system operations of /vsigs/
  • NITF: additions to comply with NITF Version 2.1 Commercial Dataset
    Requirements Document (NCDRD)
  • ODBC and PGeo: multiple fixes and improvements
  • SAFE (Sentinel1): multiple improvements related to SLC/calibration (change
    subdataset naming)
  • multidimensional API: caching, and other improvements
• Code linting and security fixes
• Bump of shared lib major version
• MDB driver (Java based) mark as deprecated. Planned for removal for GDAL 3.5.
  ODBC driver is the preferred solution (with up-to-date MDBTools library on
  non-Windows platforms)
• Writing side of Tiger driver deprecated and will be removed in GDAL 3.5
• Remainder: DODS, JPEG2000(Jasper), JPEGLS, MG4LIDAR, FUJIBAS, IDA, INGR and
  vector driver ARCGEN, ArcObjects, CLOUDANT, COUCHDB, DB2, DODS, FME, GEOMEDIA,
  GTM, INGRES, MONGODB, REC, WALK are planned for removal in GDAL 3.5. As well
  as Perl bindings
