We're excited to announce the release of AppEEARS Version 3.63, featuring a significant upgrade to GDAL 3.9. This major version jump brings enhanced capabilities, but also introduces a notable change in handling area requests.
Important Note: With GDAL 3.9, some results may not include every pixel intersecting with the polygon boundary, affecting only peripheral pixels. For more information on this behavior, please refer to the GitHub issue: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/8622.
