Description
Django still doesn't support GDAL 3.11
We should support this as it's the latest version and automatically installed by homebrew
causing the following error:
`
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Could not find the GDAL library (tried "gdal", "GDAL", "gdal3.7.0", "gdal3.6.0", "gdal3.5.0", "gdal3.4.0", "gdal3.3.0", "gdal3.2.0", "gdal3.1.0", "gdal3.0.0", "gdal2.4.0"). Is GDAL installed? If it is, try setting GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings.
`
Ideally this support will be backported to past django versions.
Even better would be API checks that are version independent to make this more future proof
