Notes:

	This version requires PostgreSQL 12-18beta3, GEOS 3.8 or higher, and Proj 6.1+.
	To take advantage of all features, GEOS 3.14+ is needed.
	To take advantage of all SFCGAL features, SFCGAL 2.2+ is needed.

Many thanks to our translation teams, in particular:

	Teramoto Ikuhiro (Japanese Team)
	Daniel Nylander (Swedish Team)
	Dapeng Wang, Zuo Chenwei from HighGo (Chinese Team)
	Denys Kovshun (Ukrainian Team)
