PostGIS 1.3.2
2007/12/01
- Improvements in the TIGER geocoder
- Fix to ST_EndPoint() crasher bug
- Modified ST_AsGML() improving v2 and adding v3 support
- Fix to ensure ST_Envelope() returns valid geometries
- Change JDBC build to use Ant
- Fix for better OS/X support
- Fix to WKB parser to do simple validity checks
The template_gis implementation has a number of problems, including
only working on Debian GNU/Linux. Upstream has removed it from the
default install, so this commit declines to put it back and removes
all the prefix/path fixes applied to it.
Add MAKE_JOBS_SAFE=no.
PostGIS 1.3.1
2007/08/13
- Fixed documentation bugs and release number errors
in previous cut
PostGIS 1.3.0
2007/08/09
- Began migration of functions to the SQL-MM-centric naming convension
using the spatial type (SP) prefix
- Performance enhancements:
- Created cached and indexed point-in-polygon short-circuits
for the functions ST_Contains, ST_Intersects, ST_Within
ST_Disjoint.
- Added inline index support for relational functions
(except disjoint)
- Added ST_Covers, ST_CoveredBy and ST_DWithin relational functions
- Extended curved geometry support to geometry accessor functions and
some geometry processing functions
- JDBC: Added Hibernate Dialect from Norman Barker
- Enhanced regression tests for curved geometries and kml functions
* Fix for bug in Within() caused by point-in-polygon performance
shortcut.
* Fix for bug in indexes with null on PostgreSQL 8.2.
* Fix for JTS handling of multi-dimensional data.
* Fix for GCJ Java support.
* Fix for JDBC compatibility in PostgreSQL 8.2.
* New AsKML() function.
* Better Transform() performance when no transform is actually required!

${PREFIX}/${PKGMANDIR}.
Fixes PR 35265, although I did not use the patch provided therein.
2006/12/08
- Added curved geometry type support for serialization/deserialization.
- Added point-in-polygon shortcircuit to Contains and Within functions.
- JDBC: Added awt.shape implementation for JTS geometries
- EJB3: Fixed NullPointer bug, thanks to Norman Barker
PostGIS 1.1.6
2006/11/02
- fixed CAPI change that broke 64-bit platforms
- use Z ordinate in reprojections
- spatial_ref_sys.sql updated to EPSG 6.11.1
- Simplified Version.config infrastructure to use a single
pack of version variables for everything.
- Include the Version.config in loader/dumper USAGE messages
- Replace hand-made, fragile JDBC version parser with Properties
- Fixed setSRID() bug in JDBC, thanks to Thomas Marti
- loader/dumper: fixed regression tests and usage output
PostGIS 1.1.5
2006/10/13
- Java:
- Removed obsolete synchronization from Jts code.
- fixed nullpointer Exception in Geometry.equals() method
- Added EJB3Spatial.odt to fulfill the GPL requirement of
distributing the "preferred form of modification"
- Added -S option for non-multi geometries to shp2pgsql
- Updated heavily outdated README files for shp2pgsql/pgsql2shp by
merging them with the manpages.
Installed docs changed a bit.
upstream changes:
- Fixed support for PostgreSQL 8.2
- Fixed bug in collect() function discarding SRID of input
- Added SRID match check in MakeBox2d and MakeBox3d
- Fixed regress tests to pass with GEOS-3.0.0
- Improved pgsql2shp run concurrency.
- [many java changes]
object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the
PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial
database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's
SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension. PostGIS follows the OpenGIS "Simple
Features Specification for SQL" and has been certified as compliant
with the "Types and Functions" profile. PostGIS/PostgreSQL includes
the following functionality:
* Simple Features as defined by the OpenGIS Consortium (OGC)
* Support for Well-Known Text and Well-Known Binary
representations of GIS objects
* Fast spatial indexing using GiST
* Geospatial analysis functions
* PostgreSQL JDBC extension objects corresponding to the
geometries
* Support for OGC access functions as defined by the Simple
Features Specification
Based on package in pkgsrc-wip by mchittur@cs.nmsu.edu. Updated to
not require building in PG source dir now that postgresql81-client
installs the "server" include fies.
