As a library, it presents a single raster abstract data model and single vector abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. It also comes with a variety of useful command-line utilities for data translation and processing. The `News <https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/v3.4.0/gdal/NEWS.md>`__ page describes the latest release.
