This is a major new <br>feature release, with the first PostGIS support for "curve" types, and <br>initial support for the ISO SQL/MM suite of spatial database functions. <br>Over time, the 1.2.X series will elaborate on the
basic support provided <br>in this release:<br><br> * New Curve type, based on the ISO SQL/MM model for curves.<br> * Index binding for curves, allowing them to use the same R-Tree <br>indexes as the other types.<br> * Serialization and deserialization functions for Curve, allowing <br>them to be dumped and restored.<br> * Performance shortcuts for Contains and Within to optimize <br>point-in-polygon case.<br> * Support for most of the ST_* and SE_* spatial SQL functions used <br>by the ESRI ArcSDE spatial SQL interfaces.<br> * Documentation of the new SQL/MM functions and Curve types.<br>_______________________________________________<br>postgis-users mailing list<br>postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net<br><a target="_blank"
