[postgis-devel] Recommended GEOS version for PostGIS-3.0.0alpha1 (was: PostGIS 3.0.0alpha1 released)

[Regina Obe]

If the message is not clear to you, you can reword it.

As the message says to take full advantage of PostGIS you must be running 3.7.0 or higher just as it was since 2.4.
Because you don't get this function:
https://postgis.net/docs/manual-dev/ST_FrechetDistance.html

In PostGIS 3, we bumped up the minimum to GEOS 3.6.

This message hasn't changed much since 2.4

I'm testing the tarball. On configure I get this warning:

  configure: WARNING:  --------- GEOS VERSION WARNING ------------
  configure: WARNING:   You are building against GEOS 3.6.4dev
  configure: WARNING:   To take advantage of all the features of
  configure: WARNING:   this PostGIS version requires GEOS 3.7.0 or higher.
  configure: WARNING:   To take advantage of most of the features of this PostGIS
  configure: WARNING:   we recommend GEOS 3.6 or higher
  configure: WARNING:   You can download the latest versions from
  configure: WARNING:   http://trac.osgeo.org/geos

The message is very confusing becuase "we recommend GEOS 3.6 or higher"
but then why the warning about using 3.6.4dev ? And why "requires GEOS
3.7.0 or higher" ? message ?

What's the state here ? What do we want users to use ?
