Oh, sorry, I forgot it. :-(

It's attached now. (I hope. :-)

Yes, that's what I meant with "contain the SVN version".

But it won't change the uers confusion between PostGIS release numbers,
and SVN versions I mentioned below.

So I'll create those changes soon after the next minor release.

So, I'm afraid that Mark either forgot to mention the fixes in the
CHANGES file, or forgot to commit altogether. He announces the Win32
fixes in
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-devel/2006-October/002284.html
which you kinda acknowledged in
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-devel/2006-October/002285.html

HTH,
Markus
