source PostgreSQL community, we strongly encourage you to test the new
features of MobilityDB 1.1 on your systems to help us eliminate possible
issues that may exist. We encourage you to find ways to run your typical

Highlights<br>---------------------------------------------<br>MobilityDB
1.1 is a major revision with respect to the initial version 1.0. The most
important change in version 1.1 was to extract the core functionality for
temporal and spatiotemporal data management from MobilityDB into the
Mobility Engine Open Source (MEOS) C library.<br><a href="https://libmeos.org/" target="_blank">https://libmeos.org/</a><br>In this way, the
same functionality provided by MobilityDB in a database environment is
available in a C program to be used, for example, in a streaming
environment.<br><br>The MEOS library for mobility management provides
similar functionality as the Geometry Engine Open Source (GEOS) C/C++
library for computational geometry. In addition, bindings for the MEOS
library in other programming languages are available, in particular for
Java with JMEOS, for C# with <a href="http://MEOS.NET" target="_blank">MEOS.NET</a> and for
SparkSQL.<br><a href="https://github.com/MobilityDB/JMEOS" target="_blank">https://github.com/MobilityDB/JMEOS</a><br><a href="https://github.com/MobilityDB/MEOS.NET" target="_blank">https://github.com/MobilityDB/MEOS.NET</a><br><a href="https://github.com/MobilityDB/MobilitySpark" target="_blank">https://github.com/MobilityDB/MobilitySpark</a><br>Drivers
for other programming languages and environments such as Javascript, Rust,
and DuckDB are being developed.<br><br>Several changes were necessary with
respect to MobilityDB version 1.0 to enable the above. An important one was
the definition of new data types span and spanset, which provide similar
functionality to the PostgreSQL data types range and multirange but can
also be used in various programming environments regardless of PostgreSQL.
These are template types, which means that they are containers of other
types, in a similar way as lists and arrays contains values of other types.
Furthermore, a new template data type set was also added. Therefore, the
types timestampset, period, and periodset in version 1.0 are replaced by
the types tstzset, tstzspan, and tstzspanset in version 1.1. Finally, the
API of MEOS and MobilityDB was streamlined to improve usability and to
facilitate the other bindings that are currently being
developed.<br><br>------------------------------------------------------------<br>Prof.
