[postgis-users] PostGIS 2.1.0 rc2 released

[Paragon Corporation]

We had originally planned to go straight to 2.1.0 after rc1, but because of
the numerous changes since last rc1 and that GEOS 3.4.0 is still not
released, we are doing one final RC.  We will do the official 2.1.0 release
on August 12th, 2013, just a day after planned GEOS 3.4.0 release. So mark
your calendars accordingly.

----- NEWS FLASH ( http://postgis.net/2013/08/03/postgis-2-1-0rc2 ) ---

The 2.1.0rc2 release of PostGIS is now available.

The PostGIS development team is proud to release a release candidate version
of upcoming PostGIS 2.1.0. As befits a minor release, the focus is on speed
improvements, more features, and bug fixes. We expect this to be the final
release candidate before we officially release 2.1.0 slated for Aug 12th,
2013. We'd appreciate it if you test it before final release and report back
with any issues you run into so we can have a smooth release.

If you are currently using PostGIS 2.0 (or 2.1.0 beta3+) using extension
support, you can go the soft upgrade path:

ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE TO "2.1.0rc2";
 

If you are running 2.1.0 of beta or an unreleased version (and the above
step fails with error "extension postgis has no update path from version
x.x.x to version 2.1.0rc2") , you need to first copy the file in
share\extensions\postgis-2.0.3-2.1.0rc2.sql and change the 2.0.3 to the
x.x.x noted in the error you are running. Then follow the above upgrade step
again.

Users of 1.5 and below will need to go the hard-upgrade path.

Best served with a bottle of GEOS 3.4.0 (planned release Aug 11th) and
PostgreSQL 9.3beta2.
