Hi all,

We found a bug in GDAL versions before 3.2.0 and have patched GDAL 2.4.4 and made new 1.1.8 binary wheels with a "-1" build tag. See https://pypi.org/project/rasterio/1.1.8/#files. If you want this fix and have already installed 1.1.8 wheels, run the following command.

    pip install -I --force-reinstall rasterio==1.1.8

Big thanks to Drew Bollinger for reporting the problem in https://github.com/mapbox/rasterio/issues/2022 and to Even Rouault for the quick fix.
