Hi everyone,

The Windows installer for PostGIS 1.3.2, compiled with PROJ 4.5.0 and
GEOS 3.0.0rc4 is now available for download from the Refractions
website.

While the installer process may not look any different, there have been
a lot of changes under the hood with respect to error reporting which
have been required for PostgreSQL 8.3 compatibility.

Note that this installer is nearly twice the size of the others; the
reason for this is that the new installer also contains copies of the
PROJ.4 datum shift files; these are placed under the PostgreSQL share
directory to ensure that they can be always be found by PROJ.4,
regardless of where PostgreSQL is installed. This should resolve issues
where datum shifts were not being correctly calculated because PROJ.4
could not locate these files.

As per normal, please post any feedback regarding the installer to the
mailing lists.


ATB,

Mark.
