PostGIS 2.4.0rc1
2017/09/13
Note possible breaking changes since 2.4.0 beta1 release are:
* Breaking Changes *
- B-Tree index operators < = > changed to provide better spatial locality on sorting
and have expected behavior on GROUP BY.
If you have btree index for geometry or geography, you need to REINDEX it, or review
if it was created by accident and needs to be replaced with GiST index.
If your code relies on old left-to-right box compare ordering,
update it to use << >> operators.
- ST_AsMVT aggregate now overloaded and arg order changed.
Check your code if you are already using this function.
- _ST_DumpPoints removed, was no longer needed after PostGIS 2.1.0
when ST_DumpPoints got reimplemented in C
