[postgis-devel] Small boo boo

[Paragon Corporation]

The only minor caveat to this is that they would still need to run a small
upgrade to stamp the new postgis version.  Of course it would work just
replacing the dll, it would just register 1.4.0

Mark, Paul, and Kevin,

Is there a way we can do like what GEOS does.  Read the version from the
dll.  When I replace the GEOS and Proj dll it registers the new versions
right away where as I don't think PostGIS does. 

Thanks,
Regina

Yes indeed. As of 1.4, we've now agreed that no SQL API changes will occur
in point release :)

So yeah, as soon as 1.4.1 comes out, people can just upgrade straight away
and get the benefit of any bug fixes.


ATB,
