The 2.1.0beta2 release of PostGIS is now available.

The PostGIS development team is proud to release a feature complete beta version of upcoming PostGIS 2.1.0. As befits a minor release, the focus is on speed improvements, more features, and bug fixes. While this beta release is feature complete, we expect some bugs and we’d appreciate it if you test it before final release and report back with any issues you run into so we can have a smooth release.

If you are currently using PostGIS 2.0+, you can go the soft upgrade path: ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE TO “2.1.0beta2”;

Users of 1.5 and below will need to go the hard-upgrade path.
