Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

The 3.11.0 release of GEOS is now available to download at http://libgeos.org/usage/download/

This release includes new features for building "concave hulls" for both point and polygon input. For polygon input, the hull will be guaranteed to not cross into the interiors of the input polygons.

The line merger has been enhanced to support a mode that only merges lines which share orientation.

The offset curve algorithm has been updated to be more reliable for different kinds of semi-degenerate inputs, and may output different curves than the previous implementation, for those kinds of inputs. For "normal" inputs, the results should look very much like the old implementation.

As usual, numerous bugs have been fixed, and a few performance improvements discovered and implemented.
