[postgis-users] PostGIS 3.3.0alpha1 released

[Regina Obe]

Hi Anthony,

 

Love your book by the way:   https://nostarch.com/practical-sql-2nd-edition

 

Unfortunately I don’t think EDB makes installers (or makes available binaries) until it reaches RC1 or final.

 

Figuring that no one can use the postgis extension until they do, I don’t bother shipping postgis extensions for PostgreSQL beta releases either.

 

However you should be able to find PostGIS 3.3.0 alpha1 for windows for PostgreSQL 11 – 14.  The only feature in PG15 you will lack is the improved index speed. Everything else in lower versions will be the same.

 

The PG14 windows binaries are here - https://winnie.postgis.net/download/windows/pg14/buildbot/

 

You will see a 3.3.0alpha1 - https://winnie.postgis.net/download/windows/pg14/buildbot/postgis-pg14-binaries-3.3.0alpha1w64gcc81.zip 

  

and a 3.3.0dev..

 

https://winnie.postgis.net/download/windows/pg14/buildbot/postgis-pg14-binaries-3.3.0devw64gcc81.zip

 

The dev is always the most recent as it gets built after each commit to the postgis code base.

 

The structure of the zips is patterned after the windows PostgreSQL EDB setup, so you should be able to just overwrite your files.

 

A couple of caveats,

1) The GEOS packaged with this is latest GEOS development and since this is shared across PostGIS versions, it would force your 3.1 or lower to be using the development GEOS.  Which is both good and bad depending on how you look at it.

 

2) The PostGIS 3.3.0 is compiled against latest GEOS 3.11, so if you don’t use the one in the zip (and use your existing), the extension won’t load.

 

3) The PostGIS 3.3.0 alpha and dev, I compiled with –minor-version, which means the libs are called postgis-3.3.dll etc, this is so you could run a stable postgis in one database and dev in another database.

 

Let me know if you run into any issues.

 

Thanks,

Regina

Hi, Regina,

 

Is there a Windows installer for this available?

 

Many thanks,
