PostGIS 1.3.3 (Stable branch) |
|
|
PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension.

Changes:
Improvements in the shp2pgsql/pgsql2shp utilities (better Windows support, DBF-only loading support, support for OS X 10.5, and output for Date types in DBF). A new function ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology(geometry, float8) to simplify polygons without creating invalid geometry. KML support updates and SVG support updates.
