We have the PostGIS 1.4.0 windows binaries available now for PostgreSQL 8.2,8.3, and 8.4 We hope to get out the stack builder and installers next week or week after. http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/ Thanks, Leo and Regina

So those who already installed and RC just need to overwrite their binaries. Nothing technically has changed since most of the RC2->production were more on the testing scripts. Unfortunately Mark Cave-Ayland is on vacation and I think since this is our first time doing it, we should wait for him before we push to Stack Builder. Oh by the way we just came back from OSCON and will be posting our slides and data shortly which will showcase some of the speed improvements in 1.4 and taking advantage of PostgreSQL 8.4 features. Should have those posted sometime later today.
