* Important / Breaking Changes *
- - #722, #302 Most deprecated functions removed (over 230 functions)
+ - #722, #302 Most deprecated functions removed (over 250 functions)
(Regina Obe / Paragon Corporation, Paul Ramsey / OpenGeo)
(most deprecated in 1.2) removed non-ST variants buffer,
length, intersects (and internal functions renamed) etc.
Some constraints in older tables were built with deprecated functions.
If you restore you may need to rebuild these
with populate_geometry_columns().
+ - #944 geometry_columns is now a view instead of a table
+ (Paul Ramsey, Regina Obe)
+ for tables created the old way reads (srid, type, dims) constraints
+ for geometry columns created with type modifiers
+ reads rom column definition
+ - #1081, #1082, #1084, #1088 - Mangement functions support typmod
+ geometry column creation functions now default to typmod creation
+ (Regina Obe)
+ - #1083 probe_geometry_columns(), rename_geometry_table_constraints(),
+ fix_geometry_columns(); removed
+ - now obsolete with geometry_column view
+ (Regina Obe)
- #817 Renaming old 3D functions to the convention ST_3D (Nicklas Avén)
- #548 (sorta), ST_NumGeometries,ST_GeometryN now returns 1 (or the geometry)
instead of null for single geometries (Sandro Santilli, Maxime van Noppen)
- Made loader tolerant of truncated multibyte values found
in some free worldwide shapefiles (Sandro Santilli)
- - Lots of bug fixes and enhancements to shp2pgsql (Jeff Adams / Azavea)
+ - Lots of bug fixes and enhancements to shp2pgsql
Beefing up regression tests for loaders
Reproject support for both geometry and geography during import
- - pgsql2shp conversion from predefined list (Loic Dachary)
+ (Jeff Adams / Azavea, Mark Cave-Ayland)
+ - pgsql2shp conversion from predefined list
+ (Loic Dachary / Mark Cave-Ayland)
- Shp-pgsql GUI loader - support loading multiple
files at a time. (Mark Leslie)
