[OSGeo-Discuss] PostGIS 2.0.2

[Paul Ramsey]

The PostGIS development team is happy to release the second patch
version of PostGIS 2, the 2.0.2 release. As befits a patch release,
the focus is on bugs and breakages, and there are a large number of
obscure things that are now better in this release.
