[postgis-devel] Preparation for 1.3.2 release

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

Hi everyone,

I found myself with a spare day and decided to review/apply a number of
outstanding patches to the PostGIS tree. The patches that have been
applied are as follows:


- Charlie's patch to ensure bounding box/envelopes return a valid
geometry in the case of where the input bounding box represents a POINT
or LINESTRING rather than a POLYGON

- Charlie's point deserialisation patch to correctly display the name of
the geometry type trying to be deserialised

- Removed version information from lwpostgis.sql which should remove a
lot of the pain of upgrading from the 1.3.2 release to newer releases
(only functions with changes require the SQL definitions to be reloaded)

- Applied parts of Charlie's MSVC patch in preparation for MSVC builds


>From this point of view, the latest SVN passes all regressions on Linux
32-bit and MingW-compiled Win32, so I'm reasonably confident I haven't
broken anything too badly. However, more testing is always welcome in
case I've missed something subtle :)

The only other patch outstanding I can see is this one here for
shp2pgsql:
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2007-September/017165.html. I don't really have enough shapefiles lying around to test this, so if someone could check and apply, that would be really helpful.


ATB,

Mark.
