[postgis-users] PostGIS 2.5.0beta1 is released

[Regina Obe]

The PostGIS development team is pleased to release PostGIS 2.5.0beta1.

This release is a work in progress. No more api changes will be made from
this point on before 2.5.0 release. Remaining time will be focused on bug
fixes and documentation for the new functionality and performance
enhancements under the covers. Although this release will work for
PostgreSQL 9.4 and above, to take full advantage of what PostGIS 2.5 will
offer, you should be running PostgreSQL 11beta2+ and GEOS 3.7.0beta1 which
were released recently.

Best served with PostgreSQL 11beta2 which was recently released -

New Feature since alpha release:

- #1847, spgist 2d and 3d support for PG 11+

(ULB),
