#5546, TopoGeometry <> TopoGeometry is now ambiguous, to get the old behaviour, assuming your TopoGeometry objects are named tg1 and tg2, use: ( id(tg1) <> id(tg2) OR topology_id(tg1) <> topology_id(tg2) OR layer_id(tg1) <> layer_id(tg2) OR type(tg1) <> type(tg2) ) (Sandro Santilli)

#5536, comments are not anymore included in PostGIS extensions (Sandro Santilli)

xmllint is now required to build comments (Sandro Santilli)

DocBook5 XSL is now required to build html (Sandro Santilli)

#5602, Drop support for GEOS 3.6 and 3.7 (Regina Obe)

#5571, Improve ST_GeneratePoints performance, but old seeded pseudo random points will need to be regenerated.

#5596, GH-749, Allow promoting column as an id in ST_AsGeoJson(record,..). Views and materialized views that use the ST_AsGeoJSON(record ..) will need rebuilding to upgrade to new signature (Jan Tojnar)

#5496, ST_Clip all variants replaced, will require rebuilding of materialized views that use them (funding from The National Institute for Agricultural and Food Research and Technology (INIA-CSIC)), Regina Obe

#5659, ST_DFullyWithin behaviour has changed to be ST_Contains(ST_Buffer(A, R), B) (Paul Ramsey)

Remove the WFS_locks extra package. (Paul Ramsey)

5747, GH-776, ST_Length: Return 0 for CurvePolygon (Dan Baston)

5770, support for GEOS 3.13 and RelateNG. Most functionality remains the same, but new GEOS predicate implementation has a few small changes.

Boundary Node Rule relate matrices might be different when using the "multi-valent end point" rule.

Relate matrices for situations with invalid MultiPolygons with shared boundaries might be different. Run ST_MakeValid to get valid inputs to feed to the calculation.

Zero length LineStrings are treated as if they are the equivalent Point object.

GH-761, ST_StraightSkeleton => CG_StraightSkeleton (Loïc Bartoletti)

GH-189, All SFCGAL functions now use the prefix CG_, with the old ones using ST_ being deprecated. (Loïc Bartoletti)
