<br type="attribution">The PostGIS development team is super excited,<br>
can hardly believe that they are actually doing this,<br>
aren't maybe even sure that they are ready to make<br>
this kind of commitment, not so young, and not when<br>
we have so much more living to do, but:<br>
<br>
PostGIS 2.0.0 is complete and available for download.<br>
<br>

<br>
The development process for 2.0 has been very long,<br>
but has resulted in a release with a number of exciting<br>
new features.<br>
<br>
* Raster data and raster/vector analysis in the database<br>
* Topological models to handle objects with shared boundaries<br>
* PostgreSQL typmod integration, for an automagical<br>
geometry_columns table<br>
* 3D and 4D indexing<br>
* Index-based high performance nearest-neighbour searching<br>
* Many more vector functions including<br>
* ST_Split<br>
* ST_Node<br>
* ST_MakeValid<br>
* ST_OffsetCurve<br>
* ST_ConcaveHull<br>
* ST_AsX3D<br>
* ST_GeomFromGeoJSON<br>
* ST_3DDistance<br>
* Integration with the PostgreSQL 9.1 extension system<br>
* Improved commandline shapefile loader/dumper<br>
* Multi-file import support in the shapefile GUI<br>
* Multi-table export support in the shapefile GUI<br>
* A geo-coder optimized for free US Census<br>
TIGER (2010) data<br>
<br>
We are greatly indebted to our large community of beta testers<br>
who valiantly tested PostGIS 2.0.0 and reported bugs so we could<br>
squash them before release time.<br>
<br>
And also we want to thank our parents for making PostGIS possible.<br>
<br>
Yours,<br>
<br>
The PostGIS development team<br>
