Author: Regina Obe  2017/09/02  in news ( release, 2.4, 2.4.0beta1 )

The PostGIS development team is pleased to announce the release of PostGIS 2.4.0beta1. PostGIS 2.4.0 will be the first version to support PostgreSQL 10. Best served with PostgreSQL 10beta4 and pgRouting 2.5.0beta See the full list of changes in the news file.

We encourage everyone to test and in particular package maintainers to insure no surprises at final release time.

IMPORTANT NOTES

From this point forward until release of PostGIS 2.4.0, no new functions will be added.
Only bug fixes will be addressed in future 2.4.0 betas and rcs.

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 will be released around the same time as PostGIS 2.4.0 and will have a beta release in a week.
