GDAL drivers

AAIGrid:

ECRG driver:

• change subdataset definition to make sure that they only consist of frames of same scale (#6043)

GTiff driver:

• Fix GTiffDataset::IsBlockAvailable() wrong behaviour when compiling against internal libtiff, when a BigTIFF file has a TileByteCounts with LONG/4-byte counts and not LONG8 (#6001)

HF2 driver:

• fix reading side of the driver to work on architectures where char is unsigned, like PPC or ARM (#6082)

HFA driver:

JP2KAK driver:

• Honour psExtraArg->eResampleAlg when upsampling (#6022)

Northwood driver:

• fix computation of intermediate color table values on non-Intel platforms (#6091)

PDF driver:

• workaround a bug of PoDoFo 0.9.0 by avoiding loading of vector content in raster-only mode (doesn't prevent the crash if reading the vector layers) (#6069)

PDS driver:

• fix nodata value for UInt16 to be 0 (#6064)

PostgisRaster driver:

• avoid Identify() to recognize OGR PostgreSQL connection strings with schemas option and cause loud 'QuietDelete' (#6034)

Rasterlite driver:

RIK driver:

• fix Identify() method to recognize again non-RIK3 RIK datasets (#6078)

VRT driver:

• Make GetDefaultHistogram() on a sourced raster band save the result in the VRT (#6088)
• VRT warp: fix crash with implicit overviews and destination alpha band (#6081)
• VRTDataset::GetSingleSimpleSource(): check there's a single source (#6025)
• Fix crash on Windows and Mac that may occur with 2 levels of VRT opened in non-shared mode (#6017)

OGR core

• OGR SQL: do not silently skip NULL values in the first records when evaluating a SELECT DISTINCT (#6020)

OGRSpatialReference

• morphToESRI(): use GCS_WGS_1972 as GCS name for EPSG:4322 (#6027)
• EPSGGetPCSInfo(): use pcs.override.csv in priority over pcs.csv to read projection name, UOM, UOMAngle, GeogCS, etc... (#6026)
• Correctly transform Mercator_2SP and _1SP to ESRI Mercator, and back from ESRI Mercator to Mercator_2SP (#4861)

OGR Utilities

CSV driver:

• Fix issues with leading single quote, and missing first line after ResetReading(), when parsing allCountries.txt (#6087)
