<br>Yep, but bugfixes are usually all visible.

<br>
<br>I've just added the missing section for 2.0.5, 2.0.6 and 2.1.3
<br>releases in the NEWS file of trunk. New sections shall be added
<br>as new releases are published.
<br>
<br>One day we'll need to split between old news and new news...

<br> grep ^PostGIS NEWS | wc -l # 63 and counting
<br>
<br>Keeping users informed since 2001/05/25 ! :)
