<title>Release 1.1.0</title>
<para>Release date: 2005/12/21</para>
<para>
This is a Minor release, containing many improvements and new things.
Most notably: build procedure greatly simplified; transform() performance
drastically improved; more stable GEOS connectivity (CAPI support);
lots of new functions; draft topology support.
</para>
<para>
It is <emphasis>highly recommended</emphasis> that you upgrade to GEOS-2.2.x
before installing PostGIS, this will ensure future GEOS upgrades won't
require a rebuild of the PostGIS library.
</para>
<sect2>
<title>Credits</title>
<para>
This release includes code from Mark Cave Ayland for caching of proj4
objects. Markus Schaber added many improvements in his JDBC2 code.
Alex Bodnaru helped with PostgreSQL source dependency relief and
provided Debian specfiles. Michael Fuhr tested new things on Solaris arch.
David Techer and Gerald Fenoy helped testing GEOS C-API connector.
Hartmut Tschauner provided code for the azimuth() function.
Devrim GUNDUZ provided RPM specfiles.
See the <link linkend="credits">credits</link> section for more names.

<title>Upgrading</title>
<para>
If you are upgrading from release 1.0.3 or later you <emphasis>DO
NOT</emphasis> need a dump/reload.
Simply sourcing the new lwpostgis_upgrade.sql script in all your
existing databases will work.
See the <link linkend="soft_upgrade">soft upgrade</link> chapter
for more informations.

<para>
If you are upgrading from a release <emphasis>between 1.0.0RC6 and
1.0.2</emphasis> (inclusive) and really want a live upgrade read the
<link linkend="rel_1.0.3_upgrading">upgrade section</link> of the 1.0.3
release notes chapter.
