- Objects are all now "lightweight" with a smaller disk
and index representation. Large databases should see a moderate
to large performance increase.
- - Some new functions (AsGML())
- Objects now have a hexidecimal canonical representation.
To see a "user friendly" version of the objects use the
AsText() function.
- The loader and dumper use the hexidecimal canonical representation,
so coordinate drift due to floating point string parsing is now
eliminated.
+ - New functions: UpdateGeometrySRID(), AsGML(), SnapToGrid(),
+ ForceRHR(), estimated_extent(), Accum().
+ - Vertical positioning operators.
+ - Geometry constructors/editors.
+ - Coordinate dimensions handling (up to 4d).
+ - API.
+ - Join selectivity.
- Bug Fixes
- Numerous small fixes.
