[postgis-devel] 1.3.4rc2 Released

[Paul Ramsey]

How big are the changes to support 8.4? If we decide not to, it places
us in a bit of a schedule box, in that we need to put out 1.4 far
enough ahead of 8.4 that people feel comfortable with it for
upgrading. Personally, I'd rather support 8.4 in the 1.3 branch, so
that people can ease into upgrades along either path (keep PostGIS
static and upgrade PgSQL, or vice versa).
