GDAL 3.13.0 beta1 available

Hi,

I've prepared a beta1 of GDAL 3.13.0 (code name not decided yet) to get 
feedback
from early testers, for the following next 2 weeks before the release 
candidate.

The NEWS file is here:

   https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/v3.13.0beta1/NEWS.md

and the gist at the end of this email ([1])

Please file tickets at https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues for issues 
you'd find
(or pull requests to fix them)

I have *not* branched off yet master for release/3.14, so be careful with
material that goes into master until that's done.

Docker images are available:
- ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:alpine-small-3.13.0beta1
- ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:alpine-normal-3.13.0beta1
- ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:ubuntu-small-3.13.0beta1
- ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:ubuntu-full-3.13.0beta1

The ubuntu images are still based on 24.04. I hope we will be able to switch
to 26.04 at release time, but this is pending availabilies of arrow/Parquet
packages.
