This version requires PostgreSQL 12-16, GEOS 3.6 or higher, and Proj 6.1+. To take advantage of all features, GEOS 3.12+ is needed. To take advantage of all SFCGAL featurs, SFCGAL 1.4.1+ is needed.
NOTE: GEOS 3.12.0 details at GEOS 3.12.0 release notes
Many thanks to our translation teams, in particular:
Teramoto Ikuhiro (Japanese Team)
Vincent Bre (French Team)
There are 2 new ./configure switches:
-
--disable-extension-upgrades-install, will skip installing all the extension upgrade scripts except for the ANY--currentversion. If you use this, you can install select upgrades using the postgis commandline tool
-
--without-pgconfig, will build just the commandline tools raster2pgsql and shp2pgsql even if PostgreSQL is not installed
