How to release
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|

Date: 2009-07-01

|
Versioning Scheme
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Release version is composed by POSTGIS_MAJOR_VERSION, POSTGIS_MINOR_VERSION
|
|
and POSTGIS_MICRO_VERSION components.
|
|
|
|
By default only [POSTGIS_MICRO_VERSION] increments between releases.
|
|
|
|
[POSTGIS_MINOR_VERSION] is incremented (and MICRO set to 0) when minor
|
|
additions have been introduced (one or two functions can be considered
|
|
*micro* additions)
|
|
|
|
[POSTGIS_MAJOR_VERSION] is incremented (and MICRO and MINOR set to 0) when
|
|
a dump/reload of existing spatial databases is *REQUIRED* for things
|
|
to work or rather *HIGHLY RECOMMENDED* to get new functionalities.
|
|
|
|
