[postgis-devel] postgis-3.1.0beta2 released

[Paul Ramsey]

Since there were a few quick additions to beta1, I have dropped a beta2. The next release will be rc1 and then final, barring any emergency.

 * Enhancements *
  - #4814, Do not drop empty geometry components when converting
           to GEOS (Sandro Santilli)
  - #4815, Fix GEOS conversion of POINT EMPTY to retain type
           (Sandro Santilli)
  - #4813, ST_MakeValid removing NaN coordinates (Sandro Santilli)
