Claim PostGISPostGIS 3.7.0beta1 was released, introducing new spatial features and performance enhancements. This release builds upon PostgreSQL 19 Beta2 and is designed for use with GEOS 3.15.0beta2. Key updates include improved topological operations, support for curved geometries in raster functions, and various bug fixes to enhance stability and metadata handling. Users are encouraged to test this milestone release ahead of final availability.
PostGIS 3.7.0alpha1 was released, marking a significant transition as the tiger_geocoder and address_standardizer extensions were removed from the core PostGIS repository. This version introduces major breaking changes, including the end of support for PostgreSQL 12 and 13, and requires a migration for users who previously relied on the integrated geocoder extension. New features include improved loader functionality, support for MultiLineString in ST_MakeLine, and various topological and raster optimizations.
The PostGIS team released the PostGIS Tiger Geocoder 2025.1 extension as a standalone project, following its departure from the main PostGIS core repository. The new distribution model adopts versioning based on the year of the US Census TIGER dataset. This release requires PostgreSQL 16 or higher and introduces security enhancements, including the quoting of schema and table names, as well as updates to support TIGER 2025 data loading. The development repository is now hosted under the OSGeo Gitea platform.
