The 1.1.5 maintenance release of PostGIS is now available. This is a very minor bugfix and compatibility release. The following changes have occurred: Java: Removed obsolete synchronization from Jts code. Fixed nullpointer Exception in Geometry.equals() method Added EJB3Spatial.odt to fulfill the GPL requirement of distributing the "preferred form of modification" Added -S option for non-multi geometries to shp2pgsql Updated heavily outdated README files for shp2pgsql/pgsql2shp by merging them with the manpages.

It is finally official! After several years of unofficial “conformance” we recently took the plunge and submitted our PostGIS 1.1 compliance tests to the OpenGIS Consortium for testing. Last week we received the news that we are compliant. That means our web site can proudly display the OpenGIS button badge, and… well not much more than that. It is still the same database after all. But it is still nice to get some external validation.
The fourth annual world gathering of open source geospatial developers and users this year is FOSS4G in Lausanne, Switzerland from September 12-16.
