3.0.0
View all closed tickets for 3.0.0.
Note that a major change in 3.0 is that the raster functionality has been broken out as a separate extension. If you are upgrading from a previous edition, do the following:
— Upgrading
After installing the binaries or after running pg_upgrade, make sure to do:
ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE; -- this next step repackages raster in its own extension -- and upgrades all your other related postgis extensions SELECT PostGIS_Extensions_Upgrade(); -- if you don't use raster, you can do below -- after the upgrade step DROP EXTENSION postgis_raster;
— Fresh install
-- installs geometry and geography support CREATE EXTENSION postgis; -- install these if you need them CREATE EXTENSION postgis_raster; CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology; -- 3d and advanced processing CREATE EXTENSION postgis_sfcgal; -- street address normalization CREATE EXTENSION address_standardizer; -- geocoder/reverse_geocoder for US census data CREATE EXTENSION postgis_tiger_geocoder CASCADE;
If you use legacy.sql or legacy_minimal.sql, make sure to rerun the version packaged with these releases.
