PostGIS 2.2.0
2015/10/07
* Important / Breaking Changes *
- PROJ4 4.6 and higher only
- #2703, KNN <-> operator now returns the correct distance ordering
for all geometry types, not just for points. Code that expects
the looser "centroid distance" ordering should be updated.

'edge crosses node' error (now edge_id,node_id)
- #2565, ST_SummaryStats(tablename, rastercolumn, ...) uses
ST_SummaryStatsAgg()
- #2567, ST_Count(tablename, rastercolumn, ...) uses ST_CountAgg()
- #2842, raster - Hide unselectable tables from raster_overview
and raster_columns
- By default, PostGIS raster disables all GDAL drivers affecting
out-db rasters, ST_FromGDALRaster() and ST_AsGDALRaster() variants
- #3181, POINT EMPTY is now stored as POINT(NaN NaN) in WKB, instead of as MULTIPOINT EMPTY
- Java binding moved to separate repository:
https://github.com/postgis/postgis-java

PostGIS 2.0.0
2012/04/03
* Important / Breaking Changes *
- Upgrading to PostGIS 2.0 REQUIRES a dump and restore. See the
"Hard Upgrade" section of the documentation.
- Functions deprecated during the 1.X series (mostly non-ST variants)
have been removed. Update your application to the new signatures.
If you cannot update your application, see the legacy.sql file
to enable the old signatures.
- GEOMETRY_COLUMNS is now a view, not a table. Code that manually
updates the table must be changed to either use the management
functions (eg AddGeometryColumn) or the new geometry typmod options
(eg CREATE TABLE t (g GEOMETRY(Polgyon, 4326)))
- ST_AsBinary and ST_AsText now return 3D/4D results in ISO SQL/MM
format when called on 3D/4D features.
- The "unknonwn SRID" is now 0, not -1.
(eg ST_SRID(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(0 0)')) returns 0)
- ST_NumGeometries returns 1 for singletons. ST_GeometryN returns the
the geometry for singletons.
- probe_geometry_columns(), rename_geometry_table_constraints(),
fix_geometry_columns(), have been removed since GEOMETRY_COLUMNS
is now a view.
- 3D analysis functions are now named with "3D" as a prefix
instead of a suffix (eg ST_Length3D has become ST_3DLength)
- Operator && does not check for SRID mismatch anymore
