> Objet : [postgis-users] PostGIS 0.9.0 Released
>
>
> Refractions Research is pleased to announce the release of PostGIS
> 0.9.0, with support for the upcoming PostgreSQL 8.0 release and the
> newly released GEOS 2.0.0 topology library.
>
> PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL
> object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the
> PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database
> for geographic information systems (GIS).
>
> Thanks to the work of the PgSQL development team, with PgSQL 8.0 it will
> be possible to use PostGIS under Windows as a native process. Early
> testing of PostGIS on Windows has shown a 30% performance increase for
> the native version over the cygwin version for GIS data loading workloads.
>
> With GEOS 2.0.0, PostGIS now sports robust geometry buffering, and
> improved geometry intersection and union functions. Other PostGIS 0.9.0
> improvements include new management utilities, improved spatial index
> estimation and direct integration in the PgSQL 8.0 statistics gathering
> mechanism.
