Thanks for the very helpful description. :-)

Eric: Do you have a timeframe for a new release?

Point cloud hasn't made a release since 1.0.1.  So what is in master is technically not yet 1.1.0 but is really 1.1.0dev

https://github.com/pgpointcloud/pointcloud/releases

I think Eric was planning to do an official release soon.

Normally I try to stick with shipping released versions, but in the case of pointcloud,  the last release in 2015 doesn't work beyond PostgreSQL 9.5 so to support 9.6+ I had to use the development branch.

Development branches always stay at the same version number even though changes are constantly happening.

If you look in the pgpointcloud_version.txt, you'll find the git hash so you can verify which commit it is building against

In this case this one - https://github.com/pgpointcloud/pointcloud/commit/0146bd7e723584ea7b9f18465834a92b8ace8339

Hope that clarifies things.

Thanks,

Regina

Thanks.

First of all,  I do not know what kind of versioning schema pointcloud is using.  The pointcloud "packge" is called "1.1.0(dev)" and the pointcloud and pointcloud_postgis extensions have version 1.1.0 and 1.0 respectively. It appears that all these versions have not been changed in some time (?) but the code has been updated. From an outside perspective it is difficult to know if you are using the latest version of pointcloud hence my comment about considering to increment a version number. This is just an observation 😊

Okay I'll add that.  I had put it in the readme that neither is included yet but LAZPERF I will try to include.

Version number?  Where are you looking?

Regina,

Thank you so much for your help.

I will update to newest extension 😊

If you are making a new official release maybe consider updating the version number which I believe has been fixed since 2015.

Just a minor request, would it be possible to include if GHT and/or LAZPERF is enabled in the pgpointcloud_version.txt?

kind regards Lars

Lars,

I've rebuilt the 9.5, 9.6, 10 64-bit builds with the latest head.  It should have a pgpointcloud_version.txt

With content - GIT_REVISION: HEAD detached at 0146bd7

Please use this one and you should have the function you are missing.

https://winnie.postgis.net/download/windows/pg95/buildbot/extras/pointcloud-pg95-binaries-1.1.0devw64gcc48.zip

I didn't test though because I think the tests require liblas compression included, which I haven't revised the builds to build with.  I'll reenable the tests after I have the liblas compression in place.

I don't plan to build with libght since it was difficult to build the library and Paul had told me a while ago (not sure if it's still true) that libght didn't provide much of a performance improvement and was an experimental format.

Eric,

If you want to go ahead and tag an official release for this, that would be great especially since the currently released doesn't work past PostgreSQL 9.5.

Thanks,

Regina

Just a note, I'm running the PostgreSQL 10.3 windows build and I DO see a

pc_envelopegeometry(pcpatch)  function.

Also looking at the latest built, pointcloud for 9.5 which is here:

https://winnie.postgis.net/download/windows/pg95/buildbot/extras/

I do see a version.txt file, which does include the HASH info of the git repo, the sql file.

I confirm does seem to be missing the PC_EnvelopeGeometry function.

POSTGIS POINTCLOUD: 1.1.0dev

PostgreSQL: 9.5 w64

Built: 20160607

GIT_REPO: https://github.com/pointcloud/pointcloud

GIT_BRANCH: origin/master

GIT_REVISION: 206bd54c459c53ef158e36389d80d25ba79e9183

Is there a reason you can't use the newer PostgreSQL 9.6 or 10? (though I see for some reason though those are newer, the version.txt file was not added so I'll revisit that)

Anyway when I build next I'll build newer for PostgreSQL 9.5 as well so will have that function.

Hello,

Running Win7+SP1, PostgreSQL 9.5 and bundle95x64_2.3.0.1.

•  The following query produces "function pc_envelopegeometry does not exist"

•  SELECT ST_AsText(PC_EnvelopeGeometry(pa)) FROM patches LIMIT 5;

The following query works are expected:

SELECT PC_Intersects('SRID=4326;POINT(-126.451 45.552)'::geometry, pa) FROM patches limit 5;

Why is PC_Intersects available but not PC_EnvelopGeometry when both are listed in PointCloud documentation?

How can I determine if I am running latest version of pointcloud extension?

How can I determine if pointcloud is built with GHT and/or LAZPERF ?

•  Opening psql and running the following command;

\d po*

postgis 2.3.0

pointcloud 1.1.0

pointcloud_postgis 1.0

kind regards, Lars
