[postgis-users] PostgreSQL 8.3.8 and 8.4.1 out

[Paragon Corporation]

If you are running 8.3.5+
Just replace the binaries for PostgreSQL (so if you compiled yourself, I
guess that would be a recompile for you and install).   No change at all
needed for the PostGIS part of it.

For Linux -- if you are using the yum repository its just Yum upgrade
For windows -- just download the PostgreSQL 8.3.8 and install ontop of your
PostgreSQL 8.3.x (if you are running  8.3.5+) - again nothing to do for
PostGIS

Hope that helps,
Regina

I have PostGIS 1.4/PostGres 8.4. What is the recommended way of upgrading
this combo? Do I have to recompile PostGres and then PostGIS again? Do I
have to rebuild my databases? Is there a tutorial/knowledgebase article on
the various upgrade paths possible?
