+title: PostGIS 2.3.0 Released
+layout: post
+category: news
+tags: [release, 2.3, 2.3.0]
+author: Regina Obe

+---
+
+The PostGIS development team is pleased to announce the release of PostGIS 2.3.0.  
+This is the first version to utilize the parallel support functionality introduced in PostgreSQL 9.6.
+As such, if you are using PostgreSQL 9.6, we strongly encourage you to use this version.
+
+Parallel support will make many queries using PostGIS relationship operators and functions faster.
+In order to take advantage of parallel query support, make sure to set max_parallel_workers_per_gather to something greater than 0
+as noted in [`max_parallel_workers_per_gather` PostgreSQL runtime configs](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/runtime-config-resource.html#GUC-MAX-PARALLEL-WORKERS-PER-GATHER)
+
+Best served with [PostgreSQL 9.6+] which is due out this week and [pgRouting 2.3.0](https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/pgrouting-users/2016-September/002287.html) 
+which also just got released.
+
+Packages from maintainers will be out in the coming days and weeks.
