* Enhancements and Fixes*
- Many corrections to docs and several translations almost complete.
Andreas Schild who provided many corrections to core docs.
PostGIS Japanese translation team first to reach completion of translation.
- Support for PostgreSQL 10
- Preliminary support for PostgreSQL 11
- #3645, Avoid loading logically deleted records from shapefiles
- #3747, Add zip4 and address_alphanumeric as attributes
to norm_addy tiger_geocoder type.
- #3748, address_standardizer lookup tables update
so pagc_normalize_address better standardizes abbreviations
- #3647, better handling of noding in ST_Node using GEOSNode
(Wouter Geraedts)
- #3684, Update to EPSG register v9
(Even Rouault)
- #3830, Fix initialization of incompatible type (>=9.6) address_standardizer
- #3662, Make shp2pgsql work in debug mode by sending debug to stderr
- #3405, Fixed memory leak in lwgeom_to_points
- #3832, Support wide integer fields as int8 in shp2pgsql
- #3841, Deterministic sorting support for empty geometries in btree geography
- #3844, Make = operator a strict equality test, and < > to rough \
"spatial sorting"
- #3855, ST_AsTWKB memory and speed improvements
* Breaking Changes *
- Dropped support for PostgreSQL 9.2.
- #3810, GEOS 3.4.0 or above minimum required to compile
- Most aggregates now marked as parallel safe,
which means most aggs have to be dropped / recreated.
If you have views that utilize PostGIS aggs,
you'll need to drop before upgrade and recreate after upgrade
- #3578, ST_NumInteriorRings(POLYGON EMPTY) now returns 0 instead of NULL
- _ST_DumpPoints removed, was no longer needed after PostGIS 2.1.0
when ST_DumpPoints got reimplemented in C
- B-Tree index operators < = > changed to provide better spatial \
locality on sorting
and have expected behavior on GROUP BY.
If you have btree index for geometry or geography, you need to REINDEX it, \
or review
if it was created by accident and needs to be replaced with GiST index.
If your code relies on old left-to-right box compare ordering,
update it to use << >> operators
PostGIS 2.4.0rc3
2017/09/27
* Fixes and Enhancements since PostGIS 2.4.0rc2 *
- #3781 st_contains cannot handle curvepolygon / compoundcurve
consisting of only straight lines
- #3866 server crashing from large values in ST_AsTWKB
- #3818 Allow triangles unclosed in M to be WKT parsed
- several packaging changes regarding checking trailing blanks
PostGIS 2.4.0rc2
2017/09/24
* Fixes and Enhancements since PostGIS 2.4.0rc1 *
- Numerous fixes to ST_AsMVT, ST_AsGeoBuf
- ST_AsTWKB speed and memory performance enhancments
- ST_RepeatedPoints speed improvements
- ST_ConcaveHull bug fix
See PostGIS 2.4.0 section for details of
new features and enhancements in this release.
PostGIS 2.4.0rc1

Note possible breaking changes since 2.4.0 beta1 release are:

- ST_AsMVT aggregate now overloaded and arg order changed.
Check your code if you are already using this function.
