Thanks Baka,<br>
Your help would be much appreciated.<br>
I suggest starting by reading through to the bottom of this email to
see Regina's suggestions on what needs to change.<br>
Also, feel free to ask questions either on this list, or on IRC:<br>

There is often one of us osgeolive people online.<br>
<br>
Our notes on creating documentation might also help:<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
I can follow the old quickstart tomorrow and see what
changed ( or don't work anymore). I'm not cutting edge in
PostGis however.<br>

Thanks for your review of the PostGIS docs on OSGeo-Live and
identifying that the PostGIS quickstart is out of date and
needs work. This is quite important as PostGIS is one of the
core projects in most OSGeobased systems.<br>
<br>
With regards to updating, we are short of time, with our
first release candidate due in 3 days, and final release due
in 2 weeks. [1]<br>
<br>
I'm wondering if there is anyone who can help Regina out
this weekend? I can commit to reviewing docs once created.
I've created a ticket to track this [2].<br>
<br>
Regina, I'll bump the version number of the PostGIS Project
Overview as you suggest.<br>

It looks like you guys never had much on the overview page
anyway except for<br>
the version number.<br>

iew.rst<br>
<br>
So given that I would just update the version to 2.2.1 .<br>
<br>
The quick starter guide on the other hand needs some work.<br>
<br>

ckstart.rst<br>
<br>
1) It is using ST_Distance_Sphere which got deprecated in
2.2.0 and will be<br>
removed in the future.<br>
That should be changed to ST_DistanceSphere.<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://postgis.net/docs/ST_DistanceSphere.html"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://postgis.net/docs/ST_DistanceSphere.html</a><br>
<br>
2) The QGIS images are a bit out of date. For example I
think PostGIS<br>
Manager got renamed to DB Manager and got more
encompassing to satisfy<br>
SpatialIte too.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm a bit strapped for time this month, but if you are not
in too much of a<br>
rush, I could spruce up the quick start next month and
send a pull request.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Regina<br>

<br>
Hey guys,<br>
Any chance one of you could take a crack at fixing up the
Project Overview<br>
(or tell me there is nothing to do).<br>
<br>
Cheers, Cameron<br>

Hi Regina, Brian, Barry,<br>
Sounds like a doc update is in order?<br>
Would one of you mind updating the Project Overview,
create a git pull<br>
request, and then I'll review.<br>
<br>
Are there any updates required for the Quickstart?<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron<br>

Key features in PostGIS 2.2 are<br>
<br>
1) KNN now supported for geography and 3D geometries.<br>
Prior versions only supported for 2D geometry.<br>
2) KNN true-distance functionality for PostgreSQL
9.5. This is for<br>
all KNN including the new 3D and geography. Does OSGeo
live have 9.5?<br>
What this means is the distance returned by the
spatial index KNN<br>
operators is the actual distance and not the bounding
box or<br>
bounding box centroid distance Of prior versions.<br>
<br>
3) Ability to build raster overviews in the database
without having<br>
to rely on raster2pgsql. Means you can have overviews
without<br>
reloading your raster data.<br>
4) Tiger geocoder upgraded to support Tiger 2015<br>
5) New extensions address_standardizer (not sure if
you have<br>
postgis_sfcgal packaged, but that became an extension
in PostGIS 2.2)<br>
<br>
6) Lots of other neat functions noted in the release
notes<br>

Subject: Any features added to postgis between
versions 2.1.3 and<br>
2.2.1 worth mentioning in the Project Overview?<br>
<br>
Hi Brian, Barry, Regina,<br>
<br>
The OSGeo-Live Project Overview for postgis currently
describes<br>
version 2.1.3, however version 2.2.1 is installed on
the next<br>
OSGeo-Live9.5 release.<br>
Are there any features which should be added to the
Project Overview,<br>
or does the doc just require a version update?<br>
<br>
You can see the latest nightly OSGeo-Live docs here:<br>
