> Just for you list'ers an early announcement of 1.0.0:
>
> After a long series of release candidates, the much anticipated 1.0.0
> version of PostGIS has been released. The 1.0.0 version includes
> substantial changes over the original 0.X series, most importantly a new
> on-disk format which is both more compact and faster to access. The
> 1.0.0 version is compatible with PostgreSQL 7.2 and higher, but is most
> tighhtly integrated with the PostgreSQL 8.0 and higher releases.
>
> New features in 1.0.0 include:
>
>      * Smaller and faster on-disk formats
>      * Improved selectivity estimates, including support for join
> selectivity and sub-selects
>      * Hex-based canonical format, for driftless dump and restore
>      * 4-D geometries
>      * New functions:
>            o Polygonize
>            o AsGML
>            o ForceRHR
>            o SnapToGrid
>            o Geometry Constructors
>      * Improved JDBC interface with jdbc2 support
>      * 64-bit platform support
>      * Performance improvements for common boolean operators
>
> Current users of PostGIS will want to read the README file on upgrading
> with particular attention to the use of the utils/postgis_restore.pl
script.
