• Fast box clipping with ST_ClipByBox2D
• In-database raster processing with ST_Retile and ST_CreateOverview.html

PostGIS 2.4.0 Released

The PostGIS development team is pleased to announce the release of PostGIS 2.4.0. Best served with PostgreSQL 10rc1 and pgRouting 2.5.0. See the full list of changes in the news file.

IMPORTANT NOTES

If you are upgrading from an existing PostGIS install, make sure after installing PostGIS binaries to do.

ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE;

— if you have additional postgishy extensions below upgrade them too

ALTER EXTENSION postgis_sfcgal UPDATE;
ALTER EXTENSION postgis_topology UPDATE;
ALTER EXTENSION postgis_tiger_geocoder UPDATE;
ALTER EXTENSION pgrouting UPDATE;

In order to have Map Box Vector Tiles support enabled, you’ll need to compile with protobuf support and pkg-config to verify the correct minimum version of protobuf-c see protobuf for details. ST_FrechetDistance function will not be enabled if PostGIS is compiled with lower than GEOS 3.7.0. GEOS 3.7.0 is not released yet but is expected sometime next month.
