PostGIS 1.0.0RC1
2005/01/13
- New Things
- Objects are all now "lightweight" with a smaller disk
and index representation. Large databases should see a moderate
to large performance increase.
- Objects now have a hexidecimal canonical representation.
To see a "user friendly" version of the objects use the
AsText() function.
- The loader and dumper use the hexidecimal canonical representation,
so coordinate drift due to floating point string parsing is now
eliminated.
- New functions: UpdateGeometrySRID(), AsGML(), SnapToGrid(),
ForceRHR(), estimated_extent(), Accum().
- Vertical positioning operators.
- Geometry constructors/editors.
- Coordinate dimensions handling (up to 4d).
- API.
- Join selectivity.
- Bug Fixes
