PostGIS 3.2.0 (Olivier Courtin Edition)
2021/12/17
This version requires PostgreSQL 9.6 or higher, GEOS 3.6 or higher, and Proj 4.9+.
Additional features are enabled if you are running GEOS 3.9+
(and ST_MakeValid enhancements with 3.10+),
Proj 6.1+, and PostgreSQL 14+.
Due to some query performance degradation
with the new fast index build that requires PG14,
we have decided to disable the feature by default
until we get more user testing
as to the true impact of real-world queries.
If you are running PG14+, you can reenable it by doing
ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY gist_geometry_ops_2d USING gist
ADD FUNCTION 11 (geometry)
geometry_gist_sortsupport_2d (internal);
and then reindex your gist indexes.
To revert back to the old index behavior:
ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY gist_geometry_ops_2d using gist
DROP FUNCTION 11 (geometry);
and then reindex your gist indexes.
* Breaking changes *
- #5008, Empty geometries are not reported as being within Infinite
distance by ST_DWithin (Sandro Santilli)
- #4824, Removed `--without-wagyu` build option. Using Wagyu is now mandatory to build with MVT support.
- #4933, topology.GetFaceByPoint will not work with topologies having invalid edge linking.
- #4981, ST_StartPoint support any geometry. No longer returns null for non-linestrings.
- #4149, ST_AsMVTGeom now preserves more of original geometry's details at scale close to target extent.
If you need previous simplifying behaviour, you can ST_Simplify the geometry in advance.
(Darafei Praliaskouski)
- Proj 4.9 or higher is required
- #5000, Turn off Window support in ST_AsMVT aggregate
as no real use-case for it and it crashes with random input
(Paul Ramsey)
* Enhancements *
- #4997, FlatGeobuf format input/output (Björn Harrtell)
- #4575, GRANT SELECT on topology metadata tables to PUBLIC (Sandro Santilli)
- #2592, Do not allow CreateTopology to define topologies with SRID < 0

used in the definition of a TopoGeometry (Sandro Santilli)

to retain direction (Sandro Santilli)
- #4628, Add an option to disable ANALYZE when loading shapefiles (Stefan Corneliu Petrea)

PostGIS 3.2.0beta3
2021/12/04
This version requires PostgreSQL 9.6 or higher, GEOS 3.6 or higher, and Proj 4.9+
Additional features are enabled if you are running GEOS 3.9+
(and ST_MakeValid enhancements with 3.10+),
Proj 6.1+, and PostgreSQL 14+.
Due to some query performance degradation
with the new fast index build that requires PG14,
we have decided to disable the feature by default
until we get more user testing
as to the true impact of real-world queries.
If you are running PG14+, you can reenable it by doing
ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY gist_geometry_ops_2d USING gist
ADD FUNCTION 11 (geometry)
geometry_gist_sortsupport_2d (internal);
To revert the change:
ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY gist_geometry_ops_2d using gist
DROP FUNCTION 11 (geometry);
and then reindex your gist indexes.

PostGIS 2.4.0rc1
2017/09/13
Note possible breaking changes since 2.4.0 beta1 release are:
* Breaking Changes *
- B-Tree index operators < = > changed to provide better spatial locality on sorting
and have expected behavior on GROUP BY.
If you have btree index for geometry or geography, you need to REINDEX it, or review
if it was created by accident and needs to be replaced with GiST index.
If your code relies on old left-to-right box compare ordering,
update it to use << >> operators.
- ST_AsMVT aggregate now overloaded and arg order changed.
Check your code if you are already using this function.
- _ST_DumpPoints removed, was no longer needed after PostGIS 2.1.0
when ST_DumpPoints got reimplemented in C
