Wow - looks like people have been busy closing bugs while I've been away 
which is good. I've been thinking about the 1.3.4 release and since the 
GEOS PreparedGeometry fixes involved a lot of new C code, we probably 
need to do a bit more comprehensive testing than normal. Hence I would 
suggest that we arrange for the following tests before cutting a final 
release:


i) PostgreSQL 7.2 testing

Yes, I know it's really old but it was agreed to keep older version 
support until 1.4 :(  So we should make sure that everything compiles 
and passes regression.

ii) Platform testing

The 2 platforms that have tripped me up in the past with new swathes of 
C code (and also changes to the build system) are Win32 and older 
Solaris - both of these tend to have strange quirks which need to be 
worked around. I suggest that we should ensure that SVN will build and 
pass regression on both of these systems first. Now I can do the Win32 
part no problem, but can anyone help out with Solaris?


ATB,

Mark.
