1.3.4 is very close to release, but we can release it faster, with
less intestinal distress, if we get some solid pre-release testing
from folks. You can download the current SVN version directly from the
downloads page, no SVN client required:

http://postgis.refractions.net/download/postgis-1.3.4SVN.tar.gz

If you want to also try the latest preparedgeometry enhancements,
you'll need to upgrade your GEOS version to the SVN trunk before
compiling and installing1.3.4SVN,
http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-svn.tar.bz2

Even if you don't, you should see some performance increases in 1.3.4,
particularly in point-and-polygon predicate tests, and large joins
using point-ant-polygon predicates.

Let us know how it goes. We are particularly  interested in any
compilation difficulties or regression failures on less common unix
variants (Solaris on Sparc, AIX on Power, etc)
