PostGIS 2.0.0
2012/02/DD
* Testers our unsung heroes *
We are most indebted to the numerous members in the PostGIS community
who were brave enough to test out the new features in this release.
No major release can be successful without these folk.
Below are those who have been most valiant, provided very detailed
and thorough bug reports,
and detailed analysis.
Andrea Peri - Lots of testing on topology, checking for correctness
Andreas Forø Tollefsen - raster testing
Chris English - topology stress testing loader functions
Brian Hamlin - Benchmarking
(also experimental experimental branches
before they are folded into core)
, general testing of various pieces
including Tiger and Topology. Testing on various server VMs
Mike Pease - Tiger geocoder testing - very detailed reports of issues
Tom van Tilburg - raster testing
* Important / Breaking Changes *
- #722, #302 Most deprecated functions removed (over 250 functions)
(Regina Obe / Paragon Corporation, Paul Ramsey / OpenGeo)
(most deprecated in 1.2) removed non-ST variants buffer,
length, intersects (and internal functions renamed) etc.
If you have been using these - CHANGE your apps or suffer the consequences.
If you don't see a function documented -- it ain't supported.
Some constraints in older tables were built with deprecated functions.
If you restore you may need to rebuild these
with populate_geometry_columns().
- #944 geometry_columns is now a view instead of a table
(Paul Ramsey, Regina Obe)
for tables created the old way reads (srid, type, dims) constraints
for geometry columns created with type modifiers
reads rom column definition
- #1081, #1082, #1084, #1088 - Mangement functions support typmod
geometry column creation functions now default to typmod creation
(Regina Obe)
- #1083 probe_geometry_columns(), rename_geometry_table_constraints(),
fix_geometry_columns(); removed
- now obsolete with geometry_column view
(Regina Obe)
- #817 Renaming old 3D functions to the convention ST_3D (Nicklas Avén)
- #548 (sorta), ST_NumGeometries,ST_GeometryN now returns 1 (or the geometry)
instead of null for single geometries (Sandro Santilli, Maxime van Noppen)
* New Features *
- KNN Gist index based centroid (<->) and box (<#>) distance
operators (Paul Ramsey / funded by Vizzuality)
- Support for TIN and PolyHedralSurface (Olivier Courtin / Oslandia)
- Raster support integrated and documented
(Pierre Racine, Jorge Arévalo, Mateusz Loskot, Sandro Santilli,
Regina Obe, David Zwarg)
(Company developer and funding: University Laval, Deimos Space, CadCorp,
Michigan Tech Research Institute, Paragon Corporation, Azavea)
- Making spatial indexes 3D aware
in progress (Paul Ramsey / OpenGeo, Mark Cave-Ayland / Sirius)
- Topology support improved, documented, testing, bug fixes
(Sandro Santilli / Faunalia for RT-SIGTA, Regina Obe, Andrea Peri
, Jose Carlos Martinez Llari)
- 3D relationship support functions (Nicklas Avén)
ST_3DDistance, ST_3DClosestPoint, ST_3DIntersects,
ST_3DShortestLine and more ..
- N-Dimensional spatial indexes (Paul Ramsey / OpenGeo)
- ST_Split (Sandro Santilli / Faunalia for RT-SIGTA)
- ST_isValidDetail (Sandro Santilli / Faunalia for RT-SIGTA)
- ST_MakeValid (Sandro Santilli / Faunalia for RT-SIGTA)
- ST_RemoveRepeatedPoints (Sandro Santilli / Faunalia for RT-SIGTA)
- ST_GeometryN and ST_NumGeometries support for non-collections
(Sandro Santilli)
- ST_IsCollection (Sandro Santilli, Maxime van Noppen)
- ST_SharedPaths (Sandro Santilli / Faunalia for RT-SIGTA)
- ST_Snap (Sandro Santilli)
- ST_RelateMatch (Sandro Santilli / Faunalia for RT-SIGTA)
- ST_ConcaveHull (Regina Obe and Leo Hsu / Paragon Corporation)
- ST_UnaryUnion (Sandro Santilli)
- ST_Relate with boundary node rule (Sandro Santilli / Faunalia for RT-SIGTA)
- ST_AsX3D (Regina Obe / Arrival 3D)
- ST_OffsetCurve (Sandro Santilli, Rafal Magda)
- ST_GeomFromGeoJSON (Kashif Rasul, Paul Ramsey / Vizzuality)
* Enhancements *
- Made loader tolerant of truncated multibyte values found
in some free worldwide shapefiles (Sandro Santilli)
- Lots of bug fixes and enhancements to shp2pgsql
Beefing up regression tests for loaders
Reproject support for both geometry and geography during import
(Jeff Adams / Azavea, Mark Cave-Ayland)
- pgsql2shp conversion from predefined list
(Loic Dachary / Mark Cave-Ayland)
- Shp-pgsql GUI loader - support loading multiple
files at a time. (Mark Leslie)
- Extras - upgraded tiger_geocoder from using old TIGER format
to use new TIGER shp and file structure format (Stephen Frost)
- Extras - revised tiger_geocoder to work with
TIGER census 2010 data and
addition of reverse geocoder function, various acurracy enhancements,
limit result count,
include in Official documentation.
(Regina Obe, Leo Hsu / Paragon Corporation /
funding provided by Hunter Systems Group)
- Overall Documentation proofreading and corrections. (Kasif Rasul)
* Bug Fixes *
- #1335 ST_AddPoint returns incorrect result on Linux (Even Rouault)
