Sent to you by Hugo Martins via Google Reader: What's Coming in PostGIS 2.0 via Slashgeo.org by Satri on 4/8/11
If I'm not mistaken, we mentioned only once the upcoming PostGIS 2.0 in the past. Via Kurt, I learned about this excellent article on what's coming in PostGIS 2.0. From the article: "This 2.0 release is poised to be an important milestone not just for speed and stability reasons, but because it extends the database into three new areas: raster data, topology, and 3D. [...] With 2.0, its [PostGIS Raster] functionality will be fully integrated into the main application. Naturally, loading and exporting is not the real work of supporting raster images in addition to vectors, so PostGIS 2.0 adds a slew of functions for analyzing and operating on the data inside the pixels. [...] PostGIS 2.0 adds extensive support for 3D, starting with two geometry types: polygonal surfaces and triangular irregular networks (TINs). [...] In addition to the new geometry types, the existing spatial indices have been made 3D-aware, and a library of 3D-functions added. [...] The last major extension of PostGIS functionality in the 2.0 release is support for topology."
