PostGIS 3.3.0
2022/08/26
This version requires PostgreSQL 11 or higher, GEOS 3.6 or higher, and Proj 5.2+.
Additional features are enabled if you are running GEOS 3.9+
ST_MakeValid enhancements with 3.10+, ST_ConcaveHull and several other enhancements with GEOS 3.11+.
Requires SFCGAL 1.4.1+ for ST_AlphaShape and ST_OptimalAlphaShape.
The new --enable-lto flag improves math computations. This new feature is disabled by default
because on some platforms, causes compilation errors (BSD and MingW64 issues have been raised)
Use below to enable it.
./configure --enable-lto flag
