Hi, a quick mail that I'm sending to the ml in place of Jody since he's having mail troubles. He's doing some teaching and the students have asked for a 3rd dimension be outputted in gml when 3d data is available in the datastore. The trouble being that now the postgis datastore casts everything to 2D to speed up rendering... so yesterday I suggested him to roll a new query hint to force coordinates into 2D for the sake of rendering code and he's now coding it on 2.4.x.
Changes should not be earth shattering, but I guess we'll need to test rendering again with some 3d data and gml outputting with some 2d and 3d data as well to make sure there are no regressions. I know for sure certain users would be happy about 3d data output, at the conference I was attending to there was one presenter claim that "a system that does not handle 3d data is no GIS system in 2008"... Now, since we want to release gs 1.6.1 late this week (and this will force a gt2 2.4.1 out of the door), if it does not work super fine we may have to roll this back the day of the release, and put it back after it.
