GDAL-GRASS driver 2.0.0 release candidate released

The GDAL-GRASS driver 2.0.0rc1 release provides more than 15 improvements
and fixes with respect to the release 1.0.4.

Notable changes include added support for GDAL 3.12 and removed support
for Autotools build system.

Special note for packagers: the bump of GDAL-GRASS to version 2.x
introduces the potential of version conflicts from the era when the
driver was part of GDAL core. Please take appropriate action to prevent
that from happening.

At some point, there will be a switch from location to project AFAIR. Anything needed for this?

Kind regards

That name change has not (yet) caused API changes that will break this, so that will probably not be any problem. Future changes with FHS compliance, however, will. But that is a problem further down the road.
